Birmingham is set to welcome a range of new dining options in 2024 including a world-renowned instagrammable cafe and a Desi pub.
And Solihull is due to see two new Smokehouses open as well. Our city is already renowned for its exciting dining scene, and there’s certainly much more to look forward to as summer approaches
The new venues we have selected are opening in the city centre and in several local neighbourhoods, so there’s plenty of options for in and out of town dining.
Here are 22 of the upcoming openings that will spice up the city’s food scene:

1. Ciaro Italian Restaurant, Gas Street - open date, end of May
The ultra popular Ciaro Italian Deli along the canal towpath is set to expand with an indoor restaurant next door, specialising in fresh pasta dishes. The menu is due to change every six weeks to ensure the freshest ingredients are always on offer. | Fionnuala Bourke

2. Dil Se, Mailbox - open date May 14
A new Indian restaurant with a focus on delicious dishes from different regions in India is opening its doors at Mailbox. The sleek new venue will include a dedicated focus on the delicate flavours of South India - with particular emphasis on Kerala, a state on the tropical Malabar Coast which has nearly 600km of Arabian Sea shoreline. | BirminghamWorld

3. Silhill Brewery & Tap Room, Aston
The popular brewery is moving from Solihull to a bigger premisis in Aston, with a tap room. In addition to its top beers - including IPAs, pale, golden and amber ales and a lager and porter - there will be live music, a big screen for sport and street food. You'll vind it at 44 Bracebridge Street. | Bite Comms

4. Albatross Death Cult, Jewellery Quarter - open date in June
Renowned Birmingham chef Alex Claridge reckons this is going to be the city's 'weirdest restaurant yet'. The name is certainly striking. The intimate 14-cover restaurant will serve a menu of around 12 courses to 14 guests sat around a Omakase-Style, monolithic kitchen counter for one sitting per service. The dishes, mostly featuring seafood and coastal ingredients, will be served directly by the chefs. | BirminghamWorld
