Tapas Revolution Birmingham

Finally, I made my stop at Tapas Revolution in the Grand Central station in Birmingham! The location is cool and colourful, on the second floor of the station and people can choose where to sit (bar or table).The space is quite small but everything is well curated. Note that it 's quite cold because it 's an open space and that if you aren 't familiar with the concept of Tapas , tapas are finger food (small dishes thought to be shared with friends). Tapas are thus quite small in portions but I 've found the two dishes, Torreznos con Mojo Dulce and the Pisto, really rich in flavour, original (traditional) and not oily. Piso is a sort of ratatouille without potatoes (thanks god): vegetables such as aubergine courgettes and peppers slow cooked in tomato sauce. The was recommended by Alfonso who also made me some company and had a nice chat with. (Nice to hear Spanish again) He 's really friendly and told me a lot about Spanish cuisine and his way of cooking. Torreznos con Mojo Dulce are pork bite fried and flavoured with a particular glaze which spicy and slightly sweet. I knew already that taste, Spanish pimiento is spicy, dry and with a particular bitter twist unlikely chilli peppers. Despite this dish was fried, every single piece was crunchy and fragrant that is perfection in this case. Everything well presented. They were both fulfilling. I was craving to try churros and got some, the plate was filled with: such a surprise! Churros are fried dough accompanied with hot chocolate. Here too, the churros were perfectly cooked, fragrant and not oily. Unfortunately, the added sugar and cinnamon (despite nice and close to the Brit taste), deviate from the traditional concept, but all in all, they were delicious. I 've got 3 tapas for around 11£ with a student discount. I would say too much, but all was well cooked and really fulfilling. It 's weird to eat at the bar and seeing the staff around but I enjoyed the chat and the meal. Unfortunately, it 's still too cold but the Tapas Revolution corner is better (in term of temperature) than Pho which is too exposed. Next time, no cinnamon and sugar on churros, please!

Top quality tapas that is sure to please more than just the travelling crowd, if you are travelling this place will really get you back on track after/during a journey and the service is very fast, but it's worth a visit for any tapas fan in the city. Located on the balcony of Grand Central in the food court (I hate calling it that as it belies the quality of the places that occupy it, not somewhere to just grab a spud! they have done a nice job of decking out their space, there's also a good view over the atrium and the skylight over the station makes it a lovely light space. For me it lacks the atmosphere for an evening meal, it's just a bit open and the noise of the station is around you. The main thing though is of course the food and it is across the board excellent, this is the group's first foray out of London and it's clear that they really care about what they put out. They are brave with things like chilli in the oil to give you a good punch of flavour and the octopus probably ranks as the best I've ever had. Also worth noting that they do delicious churros, something I'm not normally a fan of and you can often just pick it up to go if you want a tasty treat. Staff were really friendly and they actually corrected a mistake they'd made before we even brought it up with them. Drinks are understandably limited but the house white was a great accompaniment to all the food and at a good price.

My partner and I discovered this place and we love him. the Sangria pitch is one! eating is quite decent, the portions might need an update, but apart from that it is a nice place love the fact that every waitress speaks Spanish.

Unbelievable, I wasn't at tapas revolution before this visit. I don't know why; I love the food of Spain. in the act I have thought about now, I was not in one of the Spanish restaurants in birmingham (bar the excellent el borracho pop on 1000 trades.) I am a scandal. I'm holding my head in shame. that means that I can not compare tapas revolution directly with his local competition, but what I can do is tell them that it transported me back to valencia, where the food and wine are plentiful. oh, and the owner omar is dishonest. it's little wonder they have his face everywhere.

On our way back from Bournville to London, my husband and I stopped at grand central in birmingham to have lunch, visit a few friends and see the german christmas market. At tapas we ordered the classico tapas set menu which contained the pan con alioli, tortilla de patatas, huevos rotos, paella valenciana, and the corquetas de jamon. The set menu was enough for the 2 of us. The alioli dip with bread was delicious although warm bread would have been better. The tortilla de patatas was well layered and the egg was well cooked. They served it with alioli as well. The chicken paella was flavorful and delicious. The huevos rotos was good too. My husband loved the corquettes too. Overall a delicious lunch and our first time trying tapas!!
