Steve and Claire Love and their team at Loves Restaurant Welcome you to their new home. We pride ourselves on making almost all our products on site, from Our breads to our ice creams. Where possible, we have sourced all our ingredients from local producers. However our priority is always to find and use the best possible products, and sometimes that will mean sourcing a little further afield, like our Loch Duart for our Salmon and Hereford for our Beef. With the increasing exposure to fishing, we are pleased to reassure our guests that all of our fish has and will continue to be purchased from sustainable sources, with MSC approval. Should you have any dietary requirements or food allergies that we are not already aware of, please do advise us when ordering and we will guide you to the most appropriate dishes on the menu. Many of our dishes do contain both dairy and nuts, but can be done without – Please advise if you wish us to prepare your meals this way. We do hope that you enjoy your dining experience with us. AA Restaurant Guide 2013 -­‐ 3 Rosettes “Steve and Claire Love's trajectory through the fine-­‐dining scene of the Midlands has been little short of astonishing. From early days in Leamington Spa to the present glitzy waterside address in the centre of Birmingham, they have turned heads and dropped jaws along the way…the whole front-­‐
of-­‐house, led by Claire Love, radiates a sense of upscale civility. Mr Love's cooking is technically precise, with extreme care being poured into the pinpoint accuracy of each presentation. Dishes achieve a full aesthetic purchase on the senses, visually, aromatically and on the palate, with many of the concepts and techniques of current times used with imagination…” The Good Food 2013 Notable Wine List Award, only listing in West Midlands “Claire Love presides impeccably out front, while Steve oversees a hard working and principled kitchen … balancing localism with quality-­‐
awareness for prime materials…. The technical wizardry of the contemporary cooking is evident... A true enthusiasts wine collection has no notes but includes benchmark producers from every region, including a good English Spread.” Loves listed as Best Restaurant in Birmingham in Top 100 Restaurants in the UK, th
