“Tucked away unassumingly on Stirchley high street is one of, if not the, most talked about restaurants in Brum currently. From being mentioned in the Michelin Guide of Best Restaurants in Birmingham, to a buzz across social media; there’s a deserved hype. I have such a great time visiting here that I can’t wait to book my next visit. True that it’s easier to herd cats than to book a table here, but it’s worth being patient. Tables are released on a rolling three month basis each day, at midnight. With a cosy kitchen vibe, you sit at the counter and watch each dish unfold as it’s carefully crafted and presented in front of you, while the chef, Ash, talks you through how and why it’s on the menu. This close up and personal insight combined with watching the other guests enjoy their dishes is hard to match. You can easily get talking to the people either side of you, with them often remarking how they can’t wait to book their next visit. The menu pretty much changes daily so I won’t describe what I had, I’ll let my photos do that; but I can confidently say I struggled to make my choices because it all sounded so good.”

Booked this 4 months in advance such is the popularity of this restaurant. It is a little tricky to find as the blinds stay down so it looks like its closed. Upon entering you can see that you are all sat together around the kitchen. The seats which are high bar stools are very uncomfortable and I had to stand up for periods of time. The restaurant was also very hot. The food is nice but not amazing. The menu changes quite often I was told by one of the ladies. You can order as much as you like or as little as you like. I choose to order as much as possible so that I could try various options as re-booking would be very long. There are two ladies one cooks live and the other provides the hospitality in terms of drinks and seating guests. The lady that cooks provides a full story on how she has cooked each dish when bringing it over. There was one particular dish the grilled skate wing (the picture with majority of it green) this is a type of fish I was told, it comes with the bone and the cook tells you how to remove the bone. I did as instructed and still had issues with bones so had to ask the chef to de-bone it herself. She was very helpful and served it back to me with no bones at all (another picture attached). I went with my wife who is vegetarian and a full menu option was provided to her. Homemade fudge is also given when receiving the bill, we were very full and it was packed in a little packet. The fudge was very nice Overall the service is very good and the food is different and nice. There is roadside parking which is free after certain hours or various side streets.

Overall the food was wonderful and flavours were amazing. Everything was generous in portion size and prices were reasonable. Everything was cooked to perfection.Loved the touch of the fresh warm Madeleines at the end.The fried chicken was the only dish that lacked a bit of a flavour kick but had a great crunch and worked well with the caviar.The bar stool seating for me was very uncomfortable because I suffer from sciatica , no fault of the restaurant. That did dampen my experience a bit with the food. The chef explained the dishes with passion and attention to details on all the ingredients which fueled the excitement. The cider we drank had a rich deep apple flavour. Looking forward to seeing the talented chef get a Michelin star!

Absolutely exceptional food and service by Ash and Erin. Impossible to pick a favourite dish as everything was exceptional but some of our favourites were the BBQ leeks with Hollandaise, crab hash brown, rarebit crumpet and the raw beef tartare. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

A true hidden gem. My partner and I visited Rabbit and can say confidently that our experience was outstanding. Erin swiftly showed us to our seats and gave us a complimentary herbal tea which was full of flavour and depth. From our initial brief interaction, I knew we were safe hands. Throughout the evening she chatted and exchanges jokes with all the guests, which made the occasion extra special, and feeling that you have made a friend by the end of your night. Ourselves and the other guests for the evening were sat across the counter where all plates are prepared in front of you by Chef Ash, extraordinaire. Each plate was clearly lovingly crafted, with plenty of attention to detail. Chef Ash explained in great depth the ingredients used, the processes taken, and the desired vision for each dish we ordered. Her pride and confidence in her cooking is very evident, and thoroughly deserved. This is best evidenced when she offered us a complementary dish simply because she saw our reaction to similar items that we’d ordered. My opinion is that the quality of flavours are remarkably close to those I’ve had at Michelin star restaurants, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Rabbit join that exclusive list. As others have mentioned, the most difficult part is getting a reservation as the list is quite long, but truly, truly is worth the wait. I will certainly be visiting again! (The only point of feedback I have is the stools can become slightly uncomfortable over time, but this is a minor point).

“A Memorable Anniversary Celebration Last Friday, we celebrated our wedding anniversary at Pasture, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the porterhouse steak, which we ordered medium. It was cooked to perfection, with a flavorful crust on the outside and a juicy, tender interior. Each bite was a delightful mix of rich, savory flavors that truly showcased the quality of the steak. Equally impressive was the service we received from Marta, our server for the evening. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure that every aspect of our dining experience was flawless. Marta’s professionalism and cheerful demeanor added a personal touch to our celebration, making us feel genuinely valued as guests. Overall, the combination of exquisite food and exceptional service made our anniversary dinner a memorable one. We will definitely be returning to this steakhouse and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience.”

“We were staying at the B&B opposite without the second B, so we came here for breakfast. It's a really nice little cafe tucked away on the main road; far nicer than you'd guess from the outside. The food was good and service was excellent, so I'd definitely recommend it.”

“Came last night for the first time and was thoroughly impressed by how nice the restaurant looks and the great service by the guy waiting on our table. Unfortunately I have to agree with some of the reviews that the patties were a bit thin and crispy on the ends, therefore, lacking a bit in flavour. The chips and milkshakes were lovely! Something I think can easily be worked on for future customers. Other than that, it’s a lovely new spot in Stirchley”

“Our first visit to tropea and we will definitely be back! The food was incredible, the burrata and mussels were particularly amazing, as well as the tiramisu. The atmosphere is lovely in there and the servers are all so knowledgeable and attentive, the service from Asher was particularly great! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, it isn’t cheap but definitely worth it for a treat or special occasion”
