Visited Coffee Tales in the Jewellery Quarter yesterday while visiting Birmingham. We had the gluten free hazelnut cake and a jacket potato with cheese and beans. We have been in the UK for 3 weeks now and this was the best jacket potato I have had since visiting! SOO good! The gluten free hazelnut cake was amazing, I really liked the Nutella frosting! Plus the portions are huge, definitely good value for your money!

Disclaimer I didn't eat here, I'm coeliac and the restaurant were completely transparent and said although items were marked GF they use the same utensils and wouldn't be suitable for those with coeliac. It's a shame as the food looked amazing. Just be sure to ask about cross contamination etc, if you're intolerant and not that sensitive or can have trace amounts of gluten it's prob fine though

What a lovely restaurant. Met friends in town for lunch. Had a great meal and they catered well for our coeliac gluten free friend. Good selection of wines to accompany our 3 course lunch. Would highly recommend the specials.

Having heard great things about Trentina, we were really excited to try it- unfortunately we can only judge on our own experience, and it was poor. For starters we ordered the Cornish sardines, puntarelle, and salami. The sardines were the nicest part of the meal, the salami was good, and the puntarelle was disappointing- they’ve not really found an interesting way to serve it, and the dressing doesn’t match the bitterness enough. For the mains, we ordered the Devon crab spaghetti, and a gluten free lamb matlagliati. The gluten free pasta was of a decent standard, however unfortunately the sauce was far too liquidy, and therefore seriously lacked taste. The crab spaghetti was cooked well, slightly al dente, however there was next to no flavour at all. As we were paying, we actually noticed the table next to us send the same dish back, claiming it normally doesn’t taste so bland. Having not been before, I wasn’t to know though. Perhaps it was an off night for the chefs at Trentina, however we have no reference point as it was our first time, and we left disappointed.

We looked for somewhere to have lunch today whilst in the jewellery quarter and the reviews were good. Service was excellent from everyone we encountered especially Kelly,our server. I was a little emotional when I arrived and she was a sweetheart going above and beyond one her approach to me. Good menu and good gluten free choices. I had the pork belly (small plate) which was so delicious and no fat with fries and my husband had the Schnitzel Bagel with fries. Excellent quality, taste and service. We had a cranberry juice and a beer and the bill came to around £46. Toilets very clean and service excellent. The interior is also beautiful.Will definitely be back.
