Tasty ideas

There's a sensational array of restaurants on offer in and around Birmingham with all tastes catered for. Whether you're looking for a cheap night out without compromising on fantastic food or you're looking for a meal with different flavours, you'll find everything you need right here.

With such a selection to choose from it's difficult to highlight a few hotspots, but if you're on a budget you might want to opt for the all day breakfasts on offer at the Eastside Café. These will fill you up for the day ahead and help you stretch your money out longer. This café has come to the aid of many a cash-strapped student - especially after a night out on the town.

Prefer something a bit different? Well there's the Maison Mayci in Kings Heath which has just opened a small restaurant upstairs serving delicious French cuisine. Book early as it's very popular, but well worth the wait as it's a lovely and intimate place to eat out.

Holding its own and representing great British gastronomy is Purnell's where guinea fowl and beautifully tender beef can be devoured.

So whatever your tastes and whatever your mood, Birmingham has a restaurant to suit you.
