Watch canal boats from a Brindleyplace terrace or sample a Balti feast in a Sparkhill
curry house.
Waterfront Brasseries: Brindleyplace and around
From French to fusion, the restaurants around Brindleyplace and Gas Street Basin will
tempt even the fussiest taste buds. In summer, dine al fresco on one of the
bustling patios.
Local speciality: The Balti Triangle
The Kashmiri communities of Birmingham have made the Balti curry a characteristic
Brummie dish. Restaurants everywhere dish up steaming bowls of the spicy stew but
the best can be found at inexpensive restaurants in the Balti Triangle. The area
lies south of the city centre in Moseley and Sparkhill.
Post-shopping munchies: The Mailbox
A dozen franchises at the swish Mailbox offer a food sanctuary for shopped-out
crowds. There’s no room for McDonald’s here, only contemporary Italian, gourmet
burgers and champagne bars.
Special offers at cafés and restaurants are available on signing up for a
Brindleyplace Loyalty card or a Mailbox Reward card. See the centres’ websites or
contact the tourist office for more details.
