Birmingham isn’t just the UK’s second city, it’s fast becoming one of the most photogenic foodie destinations in the country. From neon-lit independents to artful plates worthy of a double tap, here are Bookachef’s top Instagram hotspots in Birmingham and what to order when you’re there.
The Ivy, Temple Row
With its lush interiors, colourful cocktails and beautifully presented plates, The Ivy is a Birmingham must for your grid. Bookachef recommends the crispy duck salad, a dish packed with vibrant colour and flavour, it looks as good on camera as it tastes.
Tattu, Barwick Street
Tattu’s interior is an Instagram dream, with glowing cherry blossom trees and dramatic lighting. Dishes are equally show-stopping. Try the black cos with miso, a signature plate that photographs beautifully against the atmospheric backdrop.
Medicine Bakery, New Street
High ceilings, art gallery vibes, and trays of pastries that look like works of art, Medicine is as photogenic as it gets. Bookachef’s pick? The honey cruffin, golden, flaky, and guaranteed to light up your feed.
Tonight Josephine, Stephenson Street
Neon slogans, pink interiors, and cocktails served with flair, this spot is all about fun, photos and flavour. Bookachef suggests the glitter pornstar martini as it’s sparkling and a guaranteed conversation starter.
Orelle, 103 Colmore Row
Set on the 24th floor of Birmingham’s tallest building, Orelle offers breathtaking city views that need to be photographed. Pair the skyline with their beef tartare and truffle emulsion for a shot that’s beautiful and indulgent.
Final Plate from Bookachef
Birmingham’s food scene proves that dining out can be an experience for all the senses, taste, atmosphere, and of course, Instagram. While not all of these venues are Bookachef clients, they’ve been chosen because they represent the city’s modern, visual, and flavour-packed dining culture.
Bookachef is proud to support the country’s booming food and hospitality industry because great food deserves not only to be celebrated but to be snapped and shared too.
