Grace + James

King's Heath's got a real food scene now, and Grace + James is the kind of spot that's made locals actually stay in the area instead of heading into town. You'll walk into something unpretentious but clearly thoughtful—the sort of place where they know their wine list inside out but won't make you feel silly asking questions. It's intimate without being cramped, and the whole vibe says 'we're just doing what we love' rather than 'look at us.' The natural wine selection punches well above what you'd expect from a neighbourhood bar, and the food's designed to go with what's in your glass, not the other way round.
