Initially opened in 2016, Harborne Kitchen is fine dining restaurant in Birmingham serving modern British cuisine, while drawing inspiration from a variety of traditions, culinary practices and food producers.
The restaurant boasts an open kitchen so that diners can get a peek of the action while they dine, especially if they’ve bagged a stool seat at the wooden counter. Elsewhere, the interiors are rustic and cosy thanks to navy blues and warm wooden surfaces throughout. Comfortable sofas and tables with stools provide a place for customers to pop in for a drink and some nibbles, while tables and chairs in the main dining room are where one of its tasting menus can be enjoyed.
Harborne Kitchen offers a selection of set and tasting menus to suit a variety of occasions. The '5 for 55' brings together five wonderful courses with the option to choose your preference for the main. While dishes update regularly, dishes might look like heritage beetroot and ricotta tart, followed by Arenkha Herring’s Roe with brown butter terrine and spring onion, and Cornish skate with celeriac remoulade with fermented chilli beans.
Then, there's the Chosen Menu which is a slightly shortened take on the signature Tasting Menu, highlighting dishes such as THE Devonshire crab arancini alongside Malloreddus with black winter truffle and 36-month-aged parmesan, serving up eight courses in total. While the full tasting menu offers 11 courses and is an expression of passion and creativity curated by head chef Tom Wells, as well as the entire kitchen team.
Each course comes with an optional wine pairing, but if cocktails are more your thing you're certainly in luck, with a well-curated list of tipples including both classics and signatures.
