Restaurants in Birmingham

Why we like them

We like the variety Panko & Sushi brings to Brindleyplace. Its menu goes beyond sushi to include ramen, katsu, teriyaki and noodles, while its Japanese-inspired interior gives the restaurant a distinctive identity. The city-centre location, heated terrace and dedicated dietary menus make it an interesting addition to Birmingham's restaurant scene.

Why we like them

What stood out to us about Niche Cafe is how consistently customers talk about the things that matter most in a neighbourhood cafe: good food, generous portions, friendly service and sensible prices. The menu goes beyond a basic fry-up too. Customer photos and reviews have highlighted dishes including Biscoff French toast, Oreo pancakes, eggs royale, omelettes and scrambled eggs with salmon, alongside classic cooked breakfasts, baguettes and paninis. There's also a genuine local feel to the feedback. Several reviewers describe Niche as a hidden gem of the Jewellery Quarter, while repeat customers mention coming back regularly for breakfast. For anyone looking for an independent breakfast or brunch spot around Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter, Niche Cafe is one worth knowing about.
