eating
The Original Patty Men is known to be one of Birmingham’s favourite burger restaurants, nestled in a Digbeth archway! There are five burgers on the menu, as well as daily specials and an exciting variety of sides. Megastar Drake also ate here, which of course is the ultimate kudos for this epic burger bar! OPM even started out in Digbeth Dining Club!
Digbeth Dining Club has changed the face of Brum’s alternative food scene ever since it started way back in 2012. The street market is held every Thursday to Sunday, in the heart of Digbeth, right by the legendary Custard Factory. Several of the best vendors have gone onto become award-winners, so you’ll be sure to get a true taste of the best Birmingham has to offer.
If you’re looking for something a little more luxurious, head to Purnell’s, a fine dining restaurant run by Michelin starred chef, Glynn Purnell. Purnell’s promises the ultimate gourmet adventure throughout the variety of tasting menus, with one of particular note being the Brummie Tapas!
