Harborne Kitchen

We came here for an anniversary meal and had the five courses for £55 menu. It was all absolutely delicious. The ‘chips’ served with the roe were so good no other chip will ever be the same again. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxed with a great eclectic playlist. The staff was delightful and we loved watching the chefs hard at work in the open plan kitchen. We spent £170 including two drinks each, cheese board and tip. Very reasonable for a fine dining experience that in my opinion was as good as some of the Michelin starred restaurants I’ve been to. Well worth it for a special occasion. Thanks HK team!

My partner and I attended on a Saturday evening to celebrate her upcoming birthday. My partner is Gluten Free, and Harborne Kitchen went out of their way to accommodate that dietary requirement. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we stepped in. We were greeted by all the staff and even the chefs all said allow as we walked by the pass to our seat. We both went for the tasting menu. And I had the wine pairing. The food was exceptional. Beautifully presented, and each plate was introduced to us by one of the chefs. There are one or two reviews on here complaining about portion size. I think the problem here is common with a taster menu. Especially the Malloreddus. That dish was so good. I wanted to get a big big bowl of it, change into my fat pants, sit on my sofa, and scoff the lot. We were both waddling out of the restaurant after, so there are no complaints from us about portion size. My only criticism is the tomato course, which is literally a slice of tomato with a couple of onions chucked on. Served with a little bit of stock. I can't understand why it is on a taster menu at a fine dining restaurant. The decor was nice. The atmosphere was very pleasant. Good vibes all round. And we appreciated the birthday wishes with a chocolate treat. Thank you, Harborne Kitchen. We will definitely be back soon 😋

Very nice restaurant serving upscale British cuisine. We went there during the week so it was rather quiet, which we actually prefer. The restaurant has a nice bar in the front of the house, where you can enjoy a range of interesting and imaginative cocktails, but they serve classics too. The restaurant part is at the back and you pass an open plan kitchen with bar seats as well, where you can see all the master preparation, it's really interesting! There are normal tables as well obviously, further back. We had a tasting menu with wine pairing. I really enjoyed the finger food that comes before the main menu, but all dishes were great. Some interesting matches, but also some surprisingly simple dishes like a pasta with butter, truffle and cheese, were absolutely delicious, and nicely paired with the wine. You can taste the quality of ingredients, and masterful preparation just completes the dish. The service is impeccable, friendly and knowledgeable. The sommelier was particularly good, clearly knowing his trade, but also very approachable and nice to talk to. The whole menu comes to about 8 or 9 dishes, so it's a lot, and we struggled a bit to finish it all! The experience was very good and I can definitely recommend it.

A lovely place to have a Valentines meal. Such attentive but relaxed service. The food was exceptional tonight and the wine pairings spot on.

We had our 5th wedding anniversary meal and it was actually our 2nd time celebrating our special day at Harborne Kitchen We had the £100 tasting menu and we really enjoyed it, food was really tasty. Staff were really friendly and their service was 5 stars Would recommend anybody who enjoys tasting menu meal for a reasonable price

Amazing food - one of the best tasting menus we've been fortunate to have. Genuinely original plates. Delicious wine and good recommendation 👍 Loved sitting at the kitchen bar watching the chefs at work. Warm and comfortable setting without snootiness. 1 star down on service due to slightly inattentive waiting and a bit TMI at points. Otherwise a 5* experience all round and wouldn't hesitate to recommend for a special occasion. Birthday treats were a nice touch.

Amazing! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was incredible - all the staff were very attention and knowledgeable, Sim in particular was incredibly lovely! We did the 5 for £55 menu which was 100% worth it, each course was absolutely delicious. A few of my friends are vegan and so had the vegan menu and also really enjoyed those courses - although they did comment that they thought some of the courses could have done with a sauce of some kind. But overall an excellent experience, we will definitely be back!

Cracking experience. Harborne High Street wouldn't feel the same without this lovely restaurant. As a local, every time I walk past I'm transported back to wonderful staff and food wizardry. It was a beautifully casual and relaxed fine-dining experience. We sat at the bar around the small open kitchen. One of my personal favourite ways to eat in top class restaurants, as the artistry and science behind crafting beautiful food is magical. You see all the ingredients coming together with care, attention to detail and creativity. The waiting staff were very attentive, with lots of information to share about the restaurant's ethos and larder. Personally, I love any restaurant that takes pride in aiming to show off native British ecology and keeps the menu shifting seasonally with sustainable cuisine. The chefs clearly enjoy what they do, too. And the food spoke for itself. It was rich, comforting, homely fine dining, with some plays on family and childhood favourites alongside some more complex, adult flavours. We'll definitely be returning, sooner than later for some drinks and snacks at the bar.

Food was very varied and experimental. 11 courses was a bit too much for us but we still loved everyone. The experience was thoroughly enjoyable. The chef came and explained some of the dishes. Staff were generally nice. The place looks and feels very understated. Probably too understand for the price. That's our only down side.

The food and drinks were amazing, we had the taster menu. The only thing that nearly spoiled it was the guidance to come slightly early and then being told to come back. The owner caught us on the way out and allowed us to stay but it was a sad start to an expensive lunch.

HK couldn't get any better. The food, drinks, service and atmosphere are all fantastic. This is a Michelin quality restaurant that is more affordable and less pretentious than actual Michelin starred places. Choose HK for your special occasions and you won't be disappointed, especially if you choose the tasting menu and get to sit up at the open kitchen and chat to the chefs as they make your courses.
