Purnells

Birmingham's first Michelin starred chef Glenn Purnell has left Jessicas and moved to open this eponymous restaurant in the heart of Birmingham's business district.

The food is ultra-modern British, to start, we both had the Goat's cheese jelly with crispy sticks which was fabulous.

Service is excellent and unobtrusive, portions are nouvelle-cuisine but not so small that you feel you need to stop for a kebab on the way home.

My only criticism would be the wine list and it is not unique to Purnells - why can't you get a bottle of wine that hasn't been marked up by 4 times? (otherwise it would get 5 stars).
