Simpsons Restaurant, Birmingham #MichelinStar

Over 3 years had passed since I last visited Simpsons. In this time, they have undertaken a major refurbishment and the dining room is looking sweet!


Chef Owner Andreas Antona and Chef Director Luke Tipping still lead the Michelin starred brigade but now they are joined by Nathan Eades as head chef.


Three of our party dined from the Set Lunch which offers three course for £35 (3 plus ½ bottle of wine for £45). I ordered from the A la Carte – 3 courses for £60.



Highlights of the meal included the Squid Ink Cracker snack, topped with an intense oceanic hit of cod’s roe; the Guinea Fowl with its classically rich glossy sauce and the sophisticated hazelnut Soufflé with a playful blast of popcorn.



Cured Salmon – pickled beetroot, wasabi


Asparagus – goat’s curd, wild garlic, grains, shoots & flowers


Plaice – potatoes, sea herbs, lovage, smoked eel cream


Pork Belly – carrots, girolles, grelots, spelt, tarragon


Strawberry Cheesecake – honey ice cream, strawberry jelly



Cheese from the trolley – rye bread crackers, pickled onions, quince & orange peels



Beef Tartare – chicory, smoked mayonnaise, crispy rice, flowers

  
Guinea Fowl – carrots, girolles, grelots, spelt, tarragon



Soufflé – hazelnut, popcorn




Coffee & Petit Fours

  1. Food looks ok whilst the restaurant looks like our works canteen or the local garden centre café.
