Riverine Rabbit

Summary

“Very much the restaurant of the moment” for a small group of Brum diners who are ‘in the know’: “chef Ash Valenzuela-Heeger and her wife Erin serve up remarkable, original, exciting, delicious (usually small) dishes to a counter at which 14 diners are seated at any one time” at this “tiny and is potentially slightly claustrophobic” yearling “in the trendy suburb of Stirchley”. “It has the air of what a dining establishment of the mid-2020s should look like and its customers – often ultra-local, moderately well-off middle class millennials and Generation Z types – lend it an atmosphere all of its own”. “Ash’s mostly South African-themed food is original and beautifully prepared and the dishes are often exciting and rarely less than delicious and very nicely priced”. Top Menu Tips – “past successes include the signature crab muffin, halibut collar with black pepper sauce, hay smoked salmon with Gentleman’s relish and Ash’s grandmother’s Forced rhubarb trifle”.
