The story
Chez Mal Brasserie and Bar in Birmingham brings a modern British brasserie spirit to The Mailbox, layered with a subtle French twist. The kitchen draws on global inspiration while keeping the foundation rooted in local traditions. Diners encounter big flavours. The team balances classic techniques with contemporary innovation.
Central to the menu are dishes cooked over intense heat using specialized equipment. The kitchen employs both Konro and Josper grills to char proteins and vegetables, adding smoky depth to every plate. This approach turns out robust meals defined by texture and bold seasoning.
The commitment to quality has been recognized with a 2026 AA Rosette Award for Culinary Excellence. This distinction reflects the team's focus on refined execution within a relaxed brasserie setting. Guests seeking a meal that balances high standards with accessible comfort will find their expectations met here.
The space embraces a lively atmosphere where cocktails flow freely and conversations run long. Mornings and afternoons offer structured rituals through dedicated afternoon tea services and extensive Sunday lunches. Evening service shifts toward bold bites paired with Cruzcampo pints or signature burgers.
