Birmingham food hall named among top 20 in the UK

If you long for a social dining and drinking experience - food halls are the best places to go to for a relaxed vibe. No dress codes needed, just have a good time with friends while you have multiple food options from various local eateries on offer.

The casual dining experience has become popular all over the country, including in Birmingham, and a travel operator has named a local Brummie food hall as one of best in the country. Enjoy Travel has released a list of top 20 of them in the UK - and a food hall in Chinese Quarter was ranked 19th on the list.

Asia Asia Food Hall located between the Bullring Shopping Centre and China Town, brings flavours from across the continent to the heart of Birmingham. It occupies two storeys of an abandoned 1960s office block on Pershore Street and it offers everything from authentic Uyghur dishes to Thai, South Korean and Japanese meals.

You will find Asian Fusion food at the venue - all under one roof. The travel operator adds: “You can also find some of Asia’s favourite beers and soft drinks, as well as a green (matcha) whippy ice cream.”
