Earlier this week, I was lucky enough to be invited to try out the new liquid brunch at Malmaison Birmingham. I was very excited for this because 1) I love going to the Mailbox but don’t often have a chance to visit, 2) It was a great chance to try out Chez Mal Brasserie at […]
I recently got the chance to visit Laghi’s Deli, a lovely little independent Italian restaurant situated in Edgbaston. The restaurant is owned by Luca, a friendly Italian, and the majority of staff are also Italian. You know what that means? Authenticity! The place is a combination of a restaurant and a deli, and they also […]
This week I was lucky enough to be invited to the soft launch of Rudy’s Birmingham. I’d been looking forward to it for weeks, basically stalking their Instagram as they set up their new restaurant.

They bake their bagels fresh each day, and have a vast choice of fillings to fit anybody’s tastes. As soon as I found […]

Their space in Birmingham looks small from the outside, with a display of freshly baked bread. Once inside, it expands into a large bright gallery, which often hosts events such as art exhibits and vintage markets. […]
As most of you know, I am currently residing in Birmingham. As I am studying at The University of Birmingham, I am situated close enough to Harborne High Street to enjoy everything they have to offer. Honest opinion: when I first moved to Birmingham, I disliked the place. Having previously only lived in much smaller […]
