Purnell's
55 Cornwall Street Birmingham B3 2DH
A Michelin-starred restaurant housed in a charming Victorian building, the stylish Purnell's has become a place of pilgrimage for fine-dining fans. Tuck into a succulent pork belly with a truffle pear purée and you'll soon be joining the cavalcades who return for the epicurean delights to be had from the a la carte menu. Those wanting to lengthen the love affair with Purnell's should take a look at the eight-course menu, highlights of which include a monkfish masala and venison rolled in liquorice charcoal. If you're in a party of six or more then give in to decadent temptation and have your dining experience perfectly complemented with some Champagne tasting and if you can't wait until the evening to have your tastebuds tantalised, be assured that the lunch menu is no less alluring – with its delectable slow-cooked lamb and roast gurnard it outclasses every other lunch menu in the city.
