Menu was new and was surprisingly miss mathched. Didn't feel the ingredients went together. The whole experience was unusual a little cold in both feel, temperature and environment. We won't be heading back there anytime soon.
Delicious and interesting food. Superb wine matching and excellent service from knowledgeable friendly staff. A very memorable evening. What a treat to eat at two cats.
The food and atmosphere at Two Cats Kitchen is fabulous. A small but beautiful place with knowledgeable staff. They catered for my gluten intolerance amazingly.
No doubt about it this was a very special culinary experience. It made me revisit every meal I've had out during the last 6 months.
The testing menu (of 7 dishes) is overpriced and not particularly interesting (apart from an excellent octopus and a very good granola starter). Service was generally good, albeit we needed to overcome a considerable resistance when one of us wanted the testing menu for 4, and two wanted for 7. The absence of espresso (or anything but filter coffee) was a bit surprising.
Fantastic food , fabulous service , lovely venue .. Made a special celebration even more special . Excited to try the new menu so will definitely be returning. A*
Was really nice lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Of the four courses one slightly disappointing, the others were top notch. Would definitely recommend. Nice setting and atmosphere and liked the small but interesting wine menu.
Overall an excellent meal for a fair price. Certain dishes were superb, particularly the beef tartare and octopus. A couple of dishes were not quite as successful in my opinion, the celeriac and chocolate dishes too large considering how rich both were. Staff very good and setting casual but cool.
Always a treat to visit the 2 Cats, the six of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Each time we go we are treated to new ingredients and different combinations of ingredients.
It was really a good experience to visit Two Cats Kitchen. The room is really beautiful with a good atmosphere. Since there are only limited seats the place is nice and quiet and you can easily talk without having to shout. The food is really good - Baltic gourmet. Not all the dishes were equally good, but it's really fun to try something new. All in all a super experience. And the price is a bargain.
Another fantastic dining experience here, and highly recommended. I would also suggest having the wine flight with the various courses as these really complemented the food.
The food was nice, I enjoyed 6 out of 7 of the dishes in the tasting menu. service was good. Would visit the restaurant again.
Incredible food, friendly staff and lovely surroundings. From the smoked butter with the bread through to dessert everything was delicious and incredibly reasonably priced. Thanks
Rustic, cosy Resturant. Staff were were attentive and knowledgeable. Food offering was well thought out and flavoursome. Octapus was fantastic, great aroma and Succulent, cooked to perfection. This is an place in its infancy and I think we have a lot more to see. Will visit again when new menu offered
Interesting menu and venue, definitely give it a try. Wine pairing disappointing, didn't feel it complemented the food very well. Cold draft in the restaurant meant people were putting there coats on during the meal, may have been a door / window open somewhere as the temp was 20 deg according to the thermostat on the wall. Staff were welcoming, friendly and efficient.
Excellent food and friendly service! A bit hard to find but well worth it. Do not live in Birmingham but will visit again when we re back!
What an amazing place. The food was fantastic and so tasty. Different to anything we have had before, and very fresh & healthy. The wine flight was perfectly matched (including the shot of vodka with chicory starter). Lovely atmosphere - friendly, informal and a gorgeous building. What a hidden gem. We will definitely be going back.
An personal experience to not be missed. A choice of 4 or 7 courses of a set taster-menu exploring the magic of Baltic cuisine. Seemingly exotic flavours that deeply move the soul, with attentive and knowledgable staff that explain the ingredient's history and origins of each course. The restaurant is set just off the main road in a well established area of the Jewellery Quarter, and as you walk in through the main door the calming rustic decor and relaxed atmosphere is waiting just for you.
interesting food but not yet perfected. attention to detail with service missing e.g. served our own wine. worth a visit but not michelin star standard by some way
Really nice blend of Baltic / Eastern European cousine, with plenty of modern twist. I would highly recommend this place as a quirky introduction to the region.
A very relaxed atmosphere with incredibly helpful staff. The food is understated and tastes amazing. Descriptions of each course beforehand is insightful and well explained. I feel it is very fairly priced given the quality of food produced. I would happily go again.
Romantic gothic interior, attentive and charming staff and some interesting dishes. Only one-dish had the wow effect for us, though (Oak Birch Pine at the end), and the tasting menu is a touch on the pricey side, considering.
Perfect service, perfect food, extremely good quality. It is a very special place, for special occasions and special people. This is the second time we go and we cannot find one thing that is not great about this place.
Absolutly stunning food and the waiting staff were amazing!! Gorgeous decor definatly worth a visit!!! I would recommend the taster menu as well as the wine taster to go alongvside it!!! ❤️
Brilliant, considered and loving food decor and service. What more could you want? Highly recommended. I will be returning. Had the 4 course taster menu and it was spectacular.
Excellent dining experience Food,wine, service could not fault The restaurant became full during the evening with no effect on the flow of the tasting menu A Birmingham Gem
Amazing restaurant, the food is absolutely flawless. Staff are fabulous. Decor is simple and beautiful. The seven course menu and wine flight is perfect. Can't recommend it enough.
Very unique, Baltic cuisine isn't too widely available but this take on it delivered seven courses of excellence - varying tastes, beautifully cooked and all among a lovely old building in the Jewellery Quarter. If we're being picky (as in things to take it to the level of an Adam's, say) then perhaps the offer of more of the excellent sourdough part way through, the introduction of an amuse bouche (something experimental from the chef, perhaps), further information in relation to the matched wines. Overall, highly recommended.
We went for the lunch 4 course tasting menu .The oak, birch and pine dessert was amazing! The other 3 courses were ok but not the best fine dining food I've ever tasted. The crab was very fishy! Nice informal restaurant with good service.
Friendly restaurant with a nice relaxed atmosphere. The food was amazing, we had the 7 course winter taster with each plate combining some incredible ingredients and flavours, and all beautifully presented. The staff were attentive but gave us space to relax. The only slight problem I had was the toilets really didn't smell good which was a shame after eating such tasty food. Will definitely be visiting again though when the seasonal menu changes, and possibly during the day time to fully appreciate the aesthetic of the dishes. Thank you for a lovely evening!
I quite like this place. Nice atmosphere, decent food and good service. What can you ask for more! The Baltic cuisine is a little different which is cool.
Excellent! Food was very different. It offers some new experiences. Staff helpful and the environment was warm. Food was wonderful and the menu was fantastic.
Go here with an open mind and you will have a unique culinary experience. Mixed with wonderful ambience and knowledgable service, this is a place to revisit in a regular basis.
Amazing food, beautiful, intimate space (great music too), very friendly and knowledgable service. The tasting menu was delicious – favourite being the leek with black garlic. Obviously huge amounts of care and passion put into the food and the establishment as a whole, support it!
Two Cats Kitchen's tasting menu is first class, totally enjoyed every bite. It's a neighborhood gem, their recognition in the Michaelan guide is well deserved. Looking forward to going again. Wait Staff were lovely too. And we loved their play list. So nice to be able to talk to each other over diner, and not shout.
Excellent restaurant. I certainly did not expect the quality of food and the innovative preparation and presentation. This restaurant is certainly much better than I expected.
Excellent four course tasting lunch with wine flight. Lovely setting and great service. Excellent food - our favourite was the sweet onion broth to start.
Wonderful meal and attentive service in a beautiful setting. A real treat. Definitely worth experiencing this although it would not be suitable for vegetarians. The menu on the website can change so you don't necessarily get served the same courses.
If it was purely down to how imaginative a chef can be with his ingredients, this would score 7 out of 6. When you're faced with a course entitled "Birch, Oak, Pine" you might expect some twigs, but somehow Niki Astley turns it into a dessert of delicate subtlety. It would be difficult to describe what it tasted of because there just aren't any easy comparisons. All I can say if you want an intimate, perfectly presented and served seven-course meal that defies belief in the taste department is: Go to Two Cats Kitchen.
Had a very enjoyable lunch here, with the 7 course tasting menu. The staff are a good team who are good at their job and make you very welcome. the menu was exciting to read and enjoyable to taste
Service was very good, staff pleaseant and told you all about your food. Food was excellent and I would recommend to anyone Good night out
Two Cats Kitchen gave us, a party of 5, a wonderful evening. The food experience, in of itself, was amazing. I have not tried so many different combination of flavours and ingredients in one evening - & it was ALL GOOD! The staff was very friendly & we had a fabulous evening because the whole dining experience was quite unique.
We had the Saturday lunch menu which was four courses and we also had the wine flights. Every course was delicious - lots of unique flavours. Particularly worthy of note was the dessert which involved fir, pine and birch tree. The wines were well paired too. Fantastic experience.
Food was lovely, so many different favours. The restaurant was not formal and service was just as you'd want it to be. Well worth the visit.
Spectacular food convivial hosts in a relaxed and welcoming environment what's not to like? Make sure you can identify the two cats logo because the restaurant is well hidden but that just adds to the charm.
Superb in every way. Even the bread and butter was special. We really splashed out and had the drinks menu along with the taster. We go to a lot of good restaurants and this was by far the most interesting menu we've experienced, and the price isn't stupid.
Food was mostly good, some were not to my taste so left slightly hungry. Lack of atmosphere and waitresses did not engage properly but rather rush through the explanation of the courses. Good wine list. Will not return in a hurry
Excellent food. Well Presented and delicious. Well Priced. Great Service. Thanks for a fantastic lunch. Stand out course for us was the pheasant with beetroot and damson.
Very quiet for a Saturday afternoon, but sometimes it's nice to have the place to yourselves. Good tasting menu, but a little more variety and creativity needed to take it to next level. Friendly and helpful staff and an accommodating chef made sure the dishes were adapted to our dietary requirements.
Service excellent, atmosphere also excellent. Food and wine well presented, I felt though that some dishes were an acquired taste. A lot of effort made to ensure it was a good night.
