Out of all the Italian restaurants in Solihull, Fatto a Napoli has to be right up there for an authentic caffetteria and pizzeria experience. Breakfasts and brunches span Italian twists on the full English and tasty treats from the pastry counter, before the ovens fire up from 12pm to give a true taste of Naples: pizzas crafted using the finest Caputo 00 flour and San Marzano tomatoes, as well as toppings ranging from truffled wild mushrooms to 'nduja.
When it comes to the best restaurants in Solihull town centre, Yakinori is a firm favourite. This independent restaurant can be found inside Touchwood Shopping Centre, serving authentic Japanese dishes to those of you looking for post-shopping meals or even a special visit just to eat out here. Design your own poke bowls, tuck into the town's best katsu curry and enjoy traditional bento boxes to really get a feel for the culture. Topping it off? Sushi masterclasses, if you fancy having a go yourself.
An Indian restaurant in Solihull's Shirley, Indico is the home of street food from India - making sure you can get your fix of all the best chaat (small plates) from the subcontinent. Starters begin your journey through the cuisine of Northern India, with mains spanning dhaba-style curries and authentic dishes cooked in the tandoor. Better yet, you can expect colourful surrounds and umbrella ceilings to match the vibrant menu - plus Bollywood nights for entertainment too.
Any lover of Japanese food and drink is bound to have heard of KIBOU, an award-winning brand bringing a taste of Tokyo to Solihull. Having made a name for itself in Cheltenham, the restaurant now creates the same experience in our town, promising steaming ramen, soft bao bun pillows stuffed with authentic fillings, and the favourite Volcano Roll - salmon, avocado and tobiko futomaki, tempura fried and served with house sauce. A menu of Japanese whisky and sake, alongside cocktails inspired by Japan, tops off the experience.
One of the best restaurants in Shirley, which is part of the borough of Solihull, Fiesta del Asado brings a taste of the traditional Argentinian steakhouse to our area. Encouraging you to eat like the Gauchos - the original Argentine cowboys who would cook cuts of meat on makeshift parrillas - the menu here leans towards cuts with more bite and intense flavour, for an authentic experience. Expect your steak to come from ethically farmed cattle, be brushed with a special house baste, and served alongside potato terrine and spicy chimichurri.
