Simpsons
A Michelin Restaurant based in Edgbaston Birmingham.
Located just one mile from the city centre, and in a conservation area, Simpsons have adapted a handsome Grade II-listed house - one of the focal points of which is the dining room, with seventy covers. There is also an extremely elegant private dining room which comfortably seats up to twenty.
Restaurateur Andreas Antona built his reputation at the original Simpsons in Kenilworth, where he won a coveted Michelin star and was recognised as one of Britain's finest chefs. Having previously worked at the Ritz and the Dorchester in London.
Andreas presides over the kitchen and delivers French-based dishes emerge with heart-warming precision, works of art created with skill and panache. A five star table - and the fact that they won a Michelin star in 2006 and were also best restaurant at Taste of Birmingham 2006/2007 - demands only the best ingredients and with the best beef from Scotland, the freshest of fish and fine produce from Paris via the Rungis market, standards are kept high.
There are two set lunch menus and one for dinner, with a la carte also available.
Fish and shellfish feature strongly - however, possibly the most stirring section of the menu is kept for meat, game and poultry and vegetarians are well looked after.
Simpsons has a carefully chosen wine list. Prior reference on line will enable you to have some advance intelligence with which to make the final selection on the day.
Within the workmanlike attractions of the Cookery School there is a boutique where a tasteful range of gifts is always on display. And remember that if the whole experience proves pleasantly exhausting there is a choice of four bedrooms, each with its own character, names of which are a good guide, with French, Venetian, Oriental or Colonial to suit the mood.
