Making stops at 6 handpicked eateries and covering both the Jewellery Quarter and Birmingham City Centre, the culinary tours are led by passionate local foodies and include tastings and drinks. For those that can’t wait until August, A Taste of Birmingham will be running on Saturday afternoons from 18th April and can be booked for £99pp via the Birmingham Restaurant Festival website.
Alex Nicholson-Evans, Founder & Director of Living For The Weekend, organisers of Birmingham Restaurant Festival, said: “I’m delighted that Birmingham Restaurant Festival is back for its fifth year running, what a milestone that is! It’s incredible to see so many fantastic restaurants lined up to take part already, some familiar faces and some completely new, all coming together to showcase the very best of our city’s diverse culinary scene.
We have plenty more to announce over the coming months and we can’t wait to share them all with foodies from Birmingham and beyond.
The addition of food tours to our offer is something I’m particularly excited about. Our first tour, A Taste of Birmingham, is such a fun way to spend the afternoon and discover the city’s culinary heritage whilst you drink and dine at some amazing spots.”
