Location: 20 Highfield Rd., Edgbaston, Birmingham. B15 3DU.
On a street of hotels and law firms, Simpsons is an overgrown house of a restaurant. There's a modest big of parking without and a few steps up to the entrance. There's a comfortable lounge, a party room, teaching rooms, four bedrooms, an welcoming foyer which doubles as a shop for the restaurant's cookbook and guidebooks to Birmingham food, and there are dining rooms. The dining rooms, overlooked by the large-windowed kitchen, wrap around a patio and yard, with tidily trimmed grass and enclosing trees. A fountain plays around a clear crystal ball. Simpsons isn't just a restaurant, you see. Simpsons dominates Birmingham gastronomy like nothing else, training up the chefs who will later open their own restaurants, and bringing high-end cuisine to a city with remarkably few highly-rated restaurants. My taxi driver recommended the cooking school - his son-in-law had taken a class there recently. I was there for the food.
( An afternoon spent eating.... )
I'm looking forward to going back. Classy French food, often innovative, usually interesting, occasionally spectactular, in a comfortable and welcoming environment made for a very good meal indeed.
