Once in a lifetime experience - Edit
Writing this review a little late as we went in April, but I have to share how amazing this was.
Read moreAll fully vegan, curated seasonal menu. We went for my birthday this year and it was truly a fantastic experience. It’s definitely on the expensive side, but totally worth everything we paid for it. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. The staff is very attentive and very kind. We got the wine pairing with each dish and that definitely elevated the experience. The wine expert was very knowledgeable and explained about the process of how each wine is made, why the chefs chose them, what is unique about them. Truly worth the price. A must for any vegan visiting or living in Birmingham!
Pros: Excellent food, Great experience , Thoughtful staff
Cons: Expensive , Space was a bit small

Amazing tasting menu - Edit
Wanted to try Land for a while and it lives up to the hype!
Read moreThe food is fantastic - the dishes are more robust than some of the photos might seem, with plenty of big flavours and imagination in them. Staff are welcoming and attentive.
Having a shorter tasting menu for £40 is especially exceptional value - my only regret is not having the full menu, which I'm fully planning on returning for!

Perfection - Edit
I went to Land on a whim after skim reading rave reviews on Happy Cow. Prior to visiting, I didn't realize that it was Michelin recommended or a fine dining establishment.
Read moreI seriously have to recommend this place. Beautiful, unique dishes that go above and beyond the usual plant-based offerings. I also think it is incredibly fairly priced for what is offered. For drinks, I tried the Dragons Blood cocktail and the plum sake. The sake was fruity, sweet, and hardly tasted alcoholic. So delicious.
You can either have the short menu which is 4 dishes and lasts 1.5 hrs, or the longer menu which is 6 dishes and 2.5 hours. The short menu was only £40 and more than enough food. This included 3 main dishes, 1 dessert, and 2/3 snacks. The portions seem small but I left feeling very satisfied and not full to discomfort. I liked the freedom of not having to decide for myself and tasting dishes which I might not opt for conventionally.
This is a brilliant restaurant and is a must-visit for any vegans in Birmingham. Number one on my recommendations without a doubt.

Vegan Fine Dining - Edit
Went here for my birthday in December and had the tasting menu. Everything was exquisite, with enough time between each dish to savour what you were given but then look forward to the next course. Plus 2 desserts will always have my seal of approval. Special experience for those looking to make great food memories.
Read morePros: Fine dining experience , Unusual food choices and combinations , Unusual platters and bowls the food was served on.

Delicious - Edit
We arrived here with no idea of what to expect - all I knew was it is the only vegan restaurant in Birmingham near where we were staying. So I was determined to visit!
Read moreWe were surprised to find out it is a vegan fine dining (should have read the description) but I was keen to support them!
You get a tart to start, bread with a cashew cheese, four ‘mains’ and a sweet at the end with the £40 course option or £66 for two extra ‘mains’. Personally, I was still hungry after the four course - none of the meals seemed to have protein so this may be why. I would recommend they try to add protein to the dishes. One dish was just two sprigs of asparagus with a sauce, so not very filling. I know it’s all about the flavour, which was amazing, with these experiences - but slightly bigger portions would be great.
I would recommend getting the 6 plate option rather than the 4 plate, if you are hungry.
Pros: Delicious, Beautifully presented
Cons: Very small portions, No protein

Utterly fabulous - Edit
Whilst planning a weekend to Birmingham, we were super excited to discover it had a vegan fine dining restaurant - and it didn’t disappoint. The meal started with two small bites, one with gochujang cauliflower and the other with peas. Out of the 6 plates from the tasting menu, the aubergine one was the standout - so many flavours! The confit tomato was a close second. We went with the wine pairing, one of which was a sake. The dessert Riesling was perfection - my partner went for a second glass with the petit fours, and I had a lovely moscato. Overall the meal was unforgettable and we wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Wow. Just incredible - Edit
My friend treated me to the tasting menu when I went to visit and I was absolutely blown away! We have so much vegan choice down in London but I've never had a tasting menu like this. It was inventive, beautifully presented and SO DELICIOUS. Service was great, and the drinks were great. Would definitely recommend making a trip here!
Read moreMy only slight negative is the lack of protein, which meant I got a bit hungry later.
Oh and the bread and butter was sooo delicious!

Outstanding - Edit
This is the best meal I have ever had in the UK. I’ve tried various set menus in veg/vegan restaurants in London and this beats them all by miles. The flavours and presentation are excellent and I enjoyed every dish. We took the wine pairing which was good but not quite to my taste - it was still a good experience. I really recommend trying some cocktails as well as the one we tried was amazing! The 6 course set menu cost £66pp and we left very full. The price definitely reflects the quality of produce, the time spent on preparation of the dish, as well as the fantastic service, so I think it is very reasonably priced. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, it was really fantastic.

Impressive - Edit
Very impressive 8 course fine dining experience with an extra little sweet treat at the end. Really enjoyed each course, some very tasty food! Very reasonably priced at £55 each for such quality food. Very friendly and attentive staff. Nice little touch having a birthday card on the table for me. Will definitely visit again so try the menu in a different season! They also have a Michelin star!

Not a good experience - Edit
An attempt at vegan fine dining that falls way short of the mark.
Read moreWent on Valentines day at 5.30. Service felt rushed as they obviously needed to turn the tables round quickly.
While the food was beautifully presented, the flavours just didn't pop like I expected, and a few things even bordered on unpleasant.
When my partner dared to mention she wasn't too keen on one of the dishes, the waiter made her feel like she didn't understand what she was eating and the menu was too challenging for her!
We have been to a lot of the Michelin stared and recommended restaurants in the area, so we know what fine dining is about, and while we may not have the best palettes in the world, we don't consider what Land has to offer to be outside our realm of understanding.
A very disappointing experience. One mandatory star for being fully vegan, and one for presentation.

Pros: Food well presented
Cons: Rushed service , Food not up to standard , Rude waiter

We have to agree..when we first went to Land a year ago we were bowled over but the food and the whole experience..so we bought 2 vouchers , one for ourselves and one for myself and my cousin.
Read moreWe were so disappointed l The food was average and as you mentioned some very unpleasant. My cousin and I left some of two of the courses, one was absolutely awful, like the ‘creamy’ part of the dish had gone off . we very politely said when he asked the obligatory question after each course but there was little response from the waiter.
We also sent them a very polite feed back and had no response .
We won’t be going again ..

Always wonderful - Edit
I've been to Land a few times and it gets better everytime. The food is sensational, the wine wonderfully curated, and the service 2nd to none. We are very lucky to have this in the Midlands, if it was in London it would be booked out months on advance.

Fabulous vegan food - Edit
Loved our experience at Land. The food was delicious and different. I would have liked a paper menu explaining each dish- I guess that way you do read all the courses and lose the element of surprise but it was hard with background noise to always hear the detail of the dish as explained by the staff. We loved every course on the tasting menu and it was great value. We’d love it if they did a cookbook or cookery course! Would be wonderful to introduce friends to these dishes.

Simply some of the best vegan food I've ever eaten. Complex dishes but based on one single ingredient - onion, tomato, or courgettes.
Read moreI will be dreaming about the chive and onion soup for years to come.
Everything is plant based and seasonal, with some very inventive dishes.
Staff are attentive and professional
Even my meat-eating partner very much enjoyed it.

Cons: A tiny bit pricey

Delicious and affordable fine dining - Edit
I had a wonderful experience at Land. The food was delicious and creative, and it was quite affordable for a fine dining experience with a tasting menu (£45 for 8 courses), though drinks were expensive. The tomato consomme was absolutely spectacular! Service was good. It was weird to have to choose a tip in advance (you have to pay when you make your reservation), but the service didn't disappoint.
