Best Contemporary European Restaurants in Kings Heath

I consider myself a chef with appreciation and extreme passion for food. This place is the one. Affordable, classy, you can tell it’s nothing but love coming from that kitchen… been here 3 times now and will be back for many more!

We have eaten here a few times and would recommend it all. Everything we have eaten has been freshly prepared and the taste and portion size make it extremely good value for money in our opinion.

This was an Afternoom Tea that was exactly what you’d expect. The village is absolutely beautiful, venue is magical and the food really excellent. The hotel has an excellent restaurant and it showed on the food they provided We had a festive tea that was £10 more than standard so not sure what the difference was The plain scones were as good as any I’ve eaten and the cakes were beautifully presented. No way to eat it all so you get a nice little box to take the surplus away with you Highly recommended

From arriving, it was a fabulous set up, the lounge where we we had cocktails and canapés was lovely, then after half an hour we were taken to the restaurant upstairs. Course after delicious course arrived and were beautifully presented and explained. We thoroughly enjoyed them BUT as soon as we took the last bite and put the cutlery down, the plate was whisked away before we’d even chewed and swallowed. I did comment each time ‘ that’s too quick’ and it meant that we felt we were on a conveyor belt and rushed. We’d driven up from Kent ( booking an hotel for the night) and arrived at the hotel literally 40 minutes before our seating time and so we were wanting to relax but this meant we were rushed. And as soon as we finished our last course with wine still in our glasses, they wanted to move us back to the lounge for coffee and petit fours but I refused saying I wanted to finish my wine. As we commented to each other and compared it it to Aulis/Raby Hunt/ Frog/ L’enclume/ Roux at Landau/ Gavroche/ Fat Duck etc.. we decided this was far far too rushed and at that very moment I got my phone out and booked Aulis for our 5th time. Nice though Opheem was, I think we’ll stick to our Aktar at Home deliveries that we’ve had for the last 4/5 yrs and have them relaxing at home. The staff were excellent but the management have decided to maximise revenue by processing customers through - very sad.
