Baxter has two locations in Coventry, but I highly recommend going to the location inside the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum. This is because you can go explore the museum and then grab a cappuccino and bite to eat when you get done. They have a full menu for brunch and lunch, or plenty ofContinue reading “Baxter”

In Birmingham, Urban Cafe boasts a large seating area with coffee, pastries, breakfast, and more! They even offer brunch all day, so no matter how late ya wake up you won’t miss out. This spot is definitely a bit more modern with fun lattes and even iced coffees (if you’ve been to Europe, you knowContinue reading “Urban Cafe”

A true coffee gem hidden in Coventry. It is actually a bit hidden and a super tiny shop. They have a small number of seats up top, but they have a staircase that will bring you down to the lower area that opens up to a lot more seating! Their coffee is strong, but smoothContinue reading “Bean & Leaf”

This restaurant is technically located inside of a hotel. And I know what you are thinking…ew, who would eat at a hotel restaurant; isn’t that overpriced for sub-par food? And I would typically agree with you if I were staying in the US (unless I was staying you know at like a 5 star hotel);Continue reading “The Larder”

Even if you have never been to England, you may have heard of Nando’s. It is a popular chain that serves up flame-grilled peri peri chicken. Peri Peri is a type of chili that grows in South Africa (also known as Birds Eye Chillies) and Nando’s uses them in all of their marinades and sauces.Continue reading “Nando’s”

Okay, so this is another restaurant that is technically in Birmingham, not Coventry but I needed to put them together. I also usually go into Birmingham when I am in Coventry so to me it is kinda the same. Most people would probably go to Birmingham over Coventry since it is a much larger city.Continue reading “Brown’s”

Ever wanted to have afternoon tea in a cathedral? Well in Coventry at St. Mary’s Guildhall you absolutely can! This gorgeous Guildhall has stunning medieval architecture and so much history. It is actually one of the few locations that survived the WWII bombings. It has been around for years and years so this is aContinue reading “St. Mary’s Guildhall”

Okay, so this restaurant is actually located inside of an Inn in Coventry. This spot has a huge outdoor patio, so it is perfect for those months where the weather is beautiful and there is no rain in sight. Upon walking in, you can definitely tell it is a spot where the locals come andContinue reading “Red Lion”

The Botanist is a super cute, very green restaurant with locations around England. Their interior will feel like you are in a garden or woods or an arboretum. One of their other claims to fame is the hanging kebabs on the menu. It is probably their signature dish and is also a fun way toContinue reading “The Botanist”

Okay, so this is technically in Birmingham not Coventry, but they are only about 45 minutes away and Birmingham is a much larger city. I recommend a trip in to Birmingham, even if you just eat at Dishoom because it is one of my favorites and anytime I am in London or Birmingham, I makeContinue reading “Dishoom”
