The Meat Shack

| The Meat Shack Birmingham |
If you like the finer things in life then you need to head over to the Meat Shack on Thorp Street close to the Birmingham Hippodrome. Gorgeous burgers such as Buffalo Blue, Hell Shack and Dutch Piggy will rock your world. All containing a '5oz hefty hunk of well-aged grass-fed beef''.
Garnish with blue cheese, Dutch cheese, American cheese, green chilli relish, candy bacon crumb, hot sauce, buffalo sauce, chipayo and streaky bacon and you take burgers to another level.
These little beauties below are Frickles, deep-fried cider-battered pickles with blue cheese dressing and they are amazing!
The Shack is full of great artwork and a kwl place to hang out and grab a drink.

This family run restaurant is the new kid on the block or Bennett's Hill to be precise. Pop in for a grab and go lunch from 11:30 to 2:30 or go proper restaurant stylee from 5pm.

The Pani Puri spice bombs on the right caught me out a bit as I put too much spiced water in the puri and even my big mouth struggled with the spice explosion.
The highlight was the amazing butter chicken made with a lot of talent by head chef aka Mum in the kitchen. So creamy and tender it oozes flavour. Its only rival on the menu is the Methi chicken which I cannot wait to try.
The Canal House

| The Canal House, Birmingham |
It was a pleasure to pop into the Canal House a week before it's official launch. It's a beautifully designed restaurant in a perfect setting. A place to relax and slow down a little for a bite to eat before changing to party mood and working your way through the exotic cocktail menu.
If SIA was here she would swing from these quirky chandeliers. The mini office is above the entrance.
Take your drink outside and enjoy the large terrace by the Gas Street Basin.
I need a bit of spice in my food so I really enjoyed the jerk salmon kebab.
Quality chicken burger with avocado was tasty.
The cookie dough was fantastic. Warm flavoursome sponge with a rich sweetness.
Afogato is my dessert of choice lately. Don't be a slob and pour all the espresso and amaretto in at once, add to taste instead dear boy.
Love the private dining room.
Boston Tea Party Edgbaston

| Boston Tea Party Cafe, Edgbaston, Birmingham |
The newly opened Boston Tea Party in Edgbaston has pretty rooms such as the Orangery and Pineapple themed areas to choose from.
The former bank is now full of comfy seating, colourful details and those amazing cakes and milkshakes.
I liked the Orangery most. it's perfect for meet-ups or catching up on your laptop to do list.
Head here to beat the big queues at the Harborne branch.
Java Lounge
Finally, Starbucks do not make the best Frappucinos, Java Lounge does! The iced mango blend is also a pick-me-up from heaven.
