villa4europe Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 depends what you want, if its something quick then theres hand made burger co (which is the good one rather than gourmet burger i think), rub smokehouse is over the road above lloyds, if you want something really good then theres edmunds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 My Dad's Birthday been this week so going to the Miller and Carter in Sutton Park after watching/enduring today's game. Personally I really like the Argentine Steakhouse on Hagley road, think it's called Fiesta del asado. Another one I like is these Generous Georges pubs that are starting to pop up, there's one in Cofton Hackett just past Longbridge. Best Pizza I've had in ages there and there's some good stuff on the menu. Anyone ever been to a Taco Bell? Was the highlight of a friend's visit to the Arndale in Manchester a few months back, don't think there's one in the Midlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Isn't Taco Bell just a Mexican variation on McDonalds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Pretty much, looked cheaper and nastier though to me, had a couple of looks at going to one in Canada, you seem to get a couple of everything with a meal deal or one of something for about a quid, they were all paired with KFC rather than stand alone, I went for a KFC double down instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Haha never been in one, just had a mate who raved about it. I would amusingly tell him the reaction on here when I next see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted December 7, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 7, 2015 I didn't even realise Taco Bell had made it to these shores. It's ok. As others have said it's like a McDonald's equivalent of mexican food. So it tastes good and is an ok fast food option. But it wouldn't be the kind of "restaurant" you'd write home about.

Chindie Posted December 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2015 Simpsons in Edgbaston is always spectacular. I've never really heard anyone talk about it but the everything about it is exceptional. The food is never less than stunning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2015 Off to Lasan in the jewellery quarter next week for my birthday. Not been before. Very much looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted December 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2015 Lasan is very nice. It feels slightly odd to be having curry style food that isn't in the traditional format but it surprises you and is gorgeous. Saying that the last time I was in there I managed to order the only thing on the menu seemingly that actually was a traditional curry. Just an absolutely jaw droppingly good one.

Stevo985 Posted December 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2015 I've been told they do a taster menu, so i think we'll probably just go for that. I think my head would explode if I was forced to choose just one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
