Organised by Living For The Weekend (the company behind popular events such as Birmingham Cocktail Weekend) BRF is now in it’s second year and for 2023 has partnered with Birmingham Festival 23, the official anniversary festival of the Commonwealth Games, to celebrate Birmingham’s award-winning restaurant scene!

Commenting on the return of the festival, Alex Nicholson-Evans, Founder & Director of Living For The Weekend said:

‘We are thrilled that Birmingham Restaurant Festival is returning for a second year, and for 2023 is a whole month long! The diverse list of participating restaurants is really exciting and the menus that have been developed for the festival really do represent extraordinary value. I hope BRF2023 will give everyone a great excuse to dine out with friends and family this summer.’
