The 9 Best Christmas Dinner Restaurants in Birmingham For 2025
As the festive season rolls around, you might be dreaming of roast turkey with all the trimmings or perhaps a totally different flavour profile. Birmingham’s dining scene embraces both: you can stick with a classic Christmas spread or dive into spice‑packed Indian dishes, South American churrasco and lavish Asian set menus.
This list rounds up the best restaurants for Christmas dinner in Birmingham, including LoveLife for a Mediterranean twist, so you can book a meal you’ll remember.
1. Gaucho Birmingham
If steak is your thing, Gaucho should be on your Christmas wishlist. The festive menu balances luxurious cuts of beef with a ballotine of turkey, beef‑fat roasties and indulgent sides. Inside, it’s all low lighting and plush leather booths, making it perfect for a dressed‑up dinner.
2. Mowgli Street Food Birmingham
Sick of turkey? Then Mowgli is where it’s at for you, think Indian street food meets Christmas cheer.
Tiffin boxes piled with yoghurt chat bombs, gunpowder chicken and curry are washed down with cinnamon‑spiced mocktails.
The restaurant’s twinkling fairy lights and festival‑like décor will lift your spirits.
3. 1900 Restaurant At Edgbaston Park Hotel
The in‑house restaurant at Edgbaston Park Hotel offers great value with three courses for £36 at lunch and £63 for dinner. We like it if you’re after a classic Christmas dinner, perfect if you have guests visiting from overseas wanting the traditional English experience.
Expect honest cooking and all the classics, from roast parsnip and apple soup to an old-fashioned turkey dinner with trimmings.
4. Tattu Birmingham
Looking for wow factor? Tattu’s modern Chinese-Asian menu features luxurious bites like beef short rib, Peking duck pancakes, white miso salmon and a lavish sushi selection.
You can’t help but love the dramatic interiors which are inspired by cherry blossom trees, it is truly a striking venue for a festive feast, perhaps better suited to an evening meal though.
5. The Button Factory
A Jewellery Quarter gem of a bar, The Button Factory serves an adaptable festive menu from a set menu but also it has canapes on offer as well if you’re planning on going with a group for a Christmas party.
Starters include spiced cauliflower soup with kaffir lime or crispy madras shallots, mains feature Norfolk bronze turkey with all the trimmings or roasted fillet of sea bream and desserts range from salted caramel profiteroles to mango cheesecake.
