Description
Riverine Rabbit in Birmingham brings a vibrant fusion of South African flavour and British seasonality to Stirchley, all wrapped up in an intimate 12-seat dining experience that feels effortlessly cool. Led by South African-born chef Ash Valenzuela‑Heeger and co‑owner Erin Valenzuela, the restaurant carries over the ethos of its Cape Town origins, with a strong focus on sustainability and a deep respect for farmers and producers across the UK. Ash’s cooking blends classical French technique with the bold, sunny flavours of her homeland, creating dishes that are produce‑driven, expressive and refreshingly unfussy.
Since opening its Birmingham home in 2024, Riverine Rabbit has quickly become one of the city’s most talked‑about culinary hotspots. It earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2025, praised for offering high‑quality food at accessible prices, while Ash herself scooped the Michelin Young Chef of the Year award in the same year.
Reviewers highlight the lively, counter‑style dining setup, the warm service led by Erin, and flavour‑packed plates such as honey‑cured beef and Asian‑leaning touches like tom yum and furikake. The restaurant has also seen Ash shortlisted for Best Chef at the 2025 British Restaurant Awards, cementing Riverine Rabbit as a rising star in Birmingham’s dining scene.
