Top 5 Menus of Birmingham Restaurant Festival 2025

Top 5 Menus of Birmingham Restaurant Festival 2025

We asked you to help us crown the top 5 menus of Birmingham Restaurant Festival 2025 and over the last week, festival goers have been busy voting! We asked voters to consider lots of different factors including:

• Flavour: Did each dish on the menu taste great?

• Presentation: Was each dish well presented, did the food look appealing?

• Value for money: Was the menu great value for money in the context of what it would normally cost to dine at that restaurant?

In addition to thinking about the menu itself, we asked voters to consider their overall enjoyment of the dining experience! Was the service fantastic? Did they enjoy the ambience of the restaurant?

The votes have now been counted, so without further ado, here is the 2025 Top 5:

NUMBER 1:
670 Grams

NUMBER 2:
Adam’s

NUMBER 3:
Simpsons

NUMBER 4:

NUMBER 5:
