Best meal I’ve ever had - Edit
Hands down the most incredible food I’ve ever eaten. Given the quality of the food/experience the price is well worth it - perfect for a special occasion.

Stunning - Edit
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.
Pros: Amazing food, Wonderful staff, Great atmosphere
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.

Incredible tasting menu - Edit
Amazing flavours, fresh and inventive. Good value tasting menu for the high level of quality- although need to pre-pay and decide on the level of tip before you go!

Amazing place - Edit
This restaurant is my favourite. I have been to other vegan fine dining restaurants and even though they cost more they have not been as good as here. The atmosphere is lovely. The design and crockery is carefully selected and feels like a treat. The food is delicious and I have had a few different menus now and have all been amazing.

Great for special occasions - Edit
We came here to celebrate my birthday and loved every second of it, even the poeple that were apprehensive about the small portion taster menu concept were win over.

Amazing quality taster menu - Edit
As a vegan can be hard to find a fine dining place to go to for a meal, especially a taster menu. However, the land does it very well. Amazing atmosphere and amazing food, its more an experience than a meal.

Amazing experience - Edit
A truly amazing experience with some of the best food I have ever eaten. Every course was impressive in its own right but highlights were roast potato with dashi buttermilk, samphire and pickled gooseberry, aubergine scallop and mushroom & celeriac tartlets. Will definitely be back.

An amazing vegan tasting menu! - Edit
The food was beyond delicious. We had the wine pairing, which perfectly complemented the food. The service was attentive but unobtrusive.

Not quite fine dining but ok - Edit
We visited for lunch and had the 5 course tasting menu.
Read moreBefore going, due to having a long evening afterwards, we'd said we wouldn't drink alcohol with lunch, but were taken with the cocktail menu so ordered one each.
The amuse-bouche was perfect. An intense hit of mushrooms and cream - the sort of attention to detail that we hoped would set the tone of the rest of the meal.
The next course was a small, tightly packed rectangle of bubble n squeak, with an apple ketchup on top. This was disappointing. I felt the bubble was insufficiently seasoned and lacked something in flavour. The apple ketchup lacked sweetness and was deep brown colour, so not attractive either. It is difficult to present some British classics artfully and this was a good attempt, but it didn't quite work.
Next up was the butternut squash course. The butternut squash was well cooked and nicely warm but also refreshing. The cream went some way to offset the chilli. This was a good winter dish.
Roast potato in a "buttermilk" sauce was next. This was ok, initially the richness of the sauce offset by the samphire was pleasing, but by halfway through, the heat of the black pepper was a bit much and dulled the tastebuds.
The last savoury dish was aubergine massaman. This happens to be a favourite curry flavour here so perhaps our expectation was too high, but it was yet another course with too much heat from spice or chilli.
Dessert was a beetroot cake with salted caramel oat ice cream and cranberries. The cake was dry and would have benefitted from being warmed. The cranberries were lovely and the ice cream delicious, perfectly creamy and sweet.
We finished with oat lattes, which were the best coffees we had in Birmingham.
Land seems like a place where the restaurant creator had decided a plant based theme is a good USP, but doesn't fully embrace it. It's supposed to be fine dining but 3 of the five courses were just lots of heat and spice and didn't show much understanding of the incredible flavours available in the plant based culinary world.
The waiter informed us that this was the only vegan fine dining restaurant outside of London, clearly unaware of the award winning place close by in Nottingham and the various other eateries opening up around the country. Which confirmed my feeling that this is an attempt at vegan fine dining from people who don't really believe in it or feel it. It's professional and the service is great, but it's lacking finesse in the food.
Pros: 100% vegan , Nice staff and service

Amazing experience - Edit
We came for the taster menu with wine pairing.
Read moreIt was all superb. The flavour of all the courses was amazing. The wines complemented the courses well. The staff are friendly and full of knowledge about the food and wine.
We never felt rushed or pressured by them to hurry and the whole experience took about 3 hours.
Not the largest seating area ever so ensure you book in advance. There were a couple of disappointed people who tried to walk in.
Pros: Fully vegan tasting menu, Amazing flavour, Superb wines

Top Class - Edit
Well, what can I say about this place. I am normally a vegan junk food kind of person, however went for the 6 course taster menu yesterday and my word it blew me away. Sadly I didn’t get photos as it wasn’t really appropriate for the setting of my evening, but all 6 courses tasted incredible, with such a variety of flavours going on at the same time.
Read moreThey also had a great selection on the drinks menu, and I will go back for sure - and next time I will get photos!

BEAUTIFUL plant based food and perfect service. We did the wine pairing with each course and I’d definitely recommend this. Every course was delicious in its own special way. Amazing night.
