TV Chef opens new brasserie

TV chef and restaurateur Raymond Blanc opened a new brasserie in Birmingham on Monday called Le Petit Blanc. London architecture and design group Tilney Shane has designed the interior of the restaurant, which claims to return the brasserie concept to its roots. Tilney Shane director Jonathan Wilson says, ‘You need to address the marketplace and situation it’s in. Birmingham is more metropolitan than anything we’ve done in the past, though the corporate blue is used throughout the restaurant,’ he says.
