The Steamhouse Birmingham City Centre

I took my friend here today for an afternoon treat as an early birthday gift. I had come across one or two negative reviews about the restaurant, so I was a bit apprehensive about what to expect. However, we ended up being very pleased with both the service and the food. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the value for money was outstanding. I considered using a Wowcher voucher but honestly wouldn’t hesitate to pay full price. The decor is a bit old-fashioned, but there's a certain charm to the place that makes you forget you're in the middle of Birmingham city center. My friend and I both agreed that we would definitely return. Don’t let the bad reviews deter you!

Adorable decor. no lift to top with a stroller or wheelchair, but it is nice top. affordable lunch options.

Beautiful little restaurant. the place to go if they want a beautiful, quiet meal. the decor is a bit tired and could with a fidget up, but there are some beautiful original features. the service we received was excellent. we would definitely return.

Sadly now closed and transformed into something else. in love to get the team at work breakfast, every Friday morning before lock-off the hash brew and brown toast was to die! sadly not in the position to compete with their millions of pounds support and subsidences against modern restaurants! pity as they unique in a modern word of the same old American rubble that has taken the British market for modern man.

This is a great little hideaway. The decor is as you'd expect for a Victorian tea room with pictures and decorations being from a different time. The menu is basic but tasty and well presented. Everything is served with a smile and the staff appear to get to know their regulars too which is such a nice touch in this day and age. It is based upstairs in the great western arcade which means it's central but away from the busy street outside. If what you are looking for is a nice simple lunch and a place to just sit and relax or read a book (as i do here) then this is the place for you. Lone diners are more than welcome and the staff will make you feel welcome.
