Birmingham Exploration｜Restaurant Folium 🍽️🌟🔍🌿🧂

This is a Nordic-inspired fusion restaurant, recommended by Michelin! 🏆🍴❄️💫 If you love rich, creamy, cheesy flavors—you have to try it! After the menu change, portion sizes got much smaller… left feeling like I barely ate. 😅🍛🤏💸👀 🔸 Appetizers: Chicken liver & smoked cod—both very salty. 🐔🧂🐟🔥😖 🔸 Homemade grain bread: Baked on wheat stalks. 🍞🌾🔥🧈🤤 🔸 Salted cream mousse with black truffle and roasted chicken broth: Also quite salty. 🧀🍄🍗💦 🔸 Caviar with whey and sea kale: First time trying sea kale—texture like crunchy celery! 🥬🌊💥 Caviar lacked "pop" and felt one-dimensional. 🐟🎆😕 🔸 Cod with lobster-head whey sauce: Delicious! The cod was barely steamed—melt-in-your-mouth tender. 🐟🦞🍶✨😋 🔸 A5 Wagyu: Served with chicory and "sukiyaki sauce," but the beef wasn’t as tender/juicy as expected. 🥩🍯🍢🤔💸 🔸 After mains, servers ask if you want a 5-cheese board (£15 extra, not included in tasting menu): 🧀🚨📢 If you’re not a cheese fan, skip this—it might ruin your meal! 💣😫🍽️ 🔸 Desserts & petit fours: Both super heavy on dairy. 🍨🧈🍮💛🔥 First was like yuzu-flavored yogurt cheese; second was caramelized cheese—way too rich. 🍊🍯😖 Petit fours: Macaron with cep fudge filling + cake drizzled with whisky butter sauce. 🍰🥃💫 #BirminghamFood #Birmingham #BirminghamLife #BirminghamExploration
