Fantastic experience for my birthday. My girlfriend was kind enough to take me here to celebrate and I wasn’t disappointed. The staff were fantastic and the food was outstanding. A real feast for the eyes, nose and mouth. If you like fine dining this is fabulous.

Came her for the long tasting menu and what an incredible experience it was. 15 courses of some of the best food I've ever eaten. The texture and the flavours were mind blowing. The desserts we had were better than all the Michelin star restaurants in Birmingham. The experience was brilliant and the staff were great. I will definitely be back for the food but the desserts were amazing.

Exceptional. Food: Diverse menu, Imaginative, Creative, and a sensory adventure. Ben Tesh & his team offer Birmingham serious Foodies a treat for all senses. Drinks: The wine flight adds another dimension to the food, bringing out subtle flavours and experiencing the wines change with each mouthful. Service: Staff were extremely attentive, friendly & knowledgeable about the menu, including where all the produce was from, including wines. Atmosphere: Exactly what you would expect with a fine dining experience, Clean, Crisp, modern dining, a bright restaurant with Minimalist decor, clean bright toilets with nice soap & Moisturiser. All the dinnerware, Cutlery & glass wear was tactile, modern & luxurious. This enhanced our experience. Value: Three of us spent £400 it was worth every penny. We would highly recommend, and we can’t wait to return.

Another extraordinary taste experience, accompanied by beautiful wines, such knowledgeable service, all described so well. A lovely way to celebrate. The crispy milk topping on the horseradish ice cream was exquisite.

Outstanding. This was our second time visiting Folium and we couldn’t have had a better second experience. We first visited some years ago and were so impressed at the time that we have not been able to forget about it and had to make a special trip back! The food is on another level. We cannot understand how they have not yet been awarded a Michelin star as some of the dishes they have created are equal if not better than some of the 2/3 Michelin star restaurants we have been fortunate enough to visit. I am sure that it must be on its way soon! We had the long menu, all of which was creative and completely delicious. (£120pp plus £15pp supplemental cheese dish) For us, the star of the menu was the Orkney Scallop with Ponzu sauce. It is an absolute explosion of flavour, beautifully cooked scallops, faultless in our opinion and one of the most memorable dishes we have eaten to date. A perfectly curated menu and as for the service - the most friendly, professional, attentive and knowledgeable servers in which they played a big part in making our meal so wonderful. We cannot wait to come back already! Thank you to the whole team at Folium, you are fantastic!

Lovely little venue. There aren’t many seatings in the restaurant but they still keep it spacious. The design is modern and creates a comfortable atmosphere. The food is fantastic, accompanied by a well presented and explained menu. The staff are knowledgable of the food their serving, and a lot of effort goes into the service, you get a attentive staff throughout the meal. The wine list is fairly extensive, although not the biggest. The list is well put together with a variety of wines and drinks available at different price points. For those who aren’t entirely sure what they like there’s a nice chart for Red, White and Sweet wines to help you choose. The restaurant doesn’t have a sommelier, which could be a downside for some, but with a smaller wine list with a good variety of choices it’s not necessarily a requirement. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant and will be back soon too.

Had the shorter taster menu which was fantastic. Highlights in pictures were the cucumber balls and the different types of lamb, however by far and away the best thing we had was the white chocolate dessert, the textures and flavours were unlike anything I've had before and really tasty. Staff were nice although the vibe is quite clinical / not the most cosy. Very cool design with cutlery and tableware. Would definitely go again.

Amazing restaurant to visit for a special occasion. I booked the short tasting menu for a birthday and every course was delicious. The service was super and we were made to feel very welcome and special. The flavours and pairings were just incredible. A wonderful foody experience. Definitely Michelin quality food.

Excellent food, a great experience in Birmingham city centre. I'll definitely recommend the 7 course dinner, as all of the dishes were amazing. Wine pairing was also very pleasant.

An excellent place to go for Scandi-inspired British cuisine. Dishes are delicious; made simply and using fresh, high quality ingredients. The menu is diverse, complex and 100% like an enjoyable journey through places and flavours. The presentation of the food is exquisite - the tableware is gorgeous and really adds an extra dimension to the dining experience. Staff are attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend a visit. We went for the long (complete) tasting menu which was definitely worth the cost (£95pp).
