La Fibule is a Moroccan restaurant at 31 Woodbridge Road in Moseley. Named for the traditional decorative pin used on Moroccan garments, it brings family recipes, warm hospitality and the colour of a riad inspired dining room to this part of Birmingham.
Tagines and couscous are central to the menu, joined by grilled dishes, seafood and a range of starters designed for sharing. Slow cooking gives meat and vegetables time to absorb aromatic spices, while lighter salads and accompaniments provide contrast across the table.
The kitchen uses characteristic seasonings such as ras el hanout, saffron and cumin to build recognisable Moroccan flavours. Seasonal dishes allow those ingredients to appear in different combinations throughout the year. Vegetarian choices make it possible to assemble a varied meat-free meal.
Evening service gives the restaurant a relaxed pace that suits family meals, dates and small celebrations. The intimate setting encourages diners to order several courses and share different dishes. Guests with allergies or specific dietary requirements should confirm the current menu and preparation with the restaurant.
Address: 31 Woodbridge Road, Moseley, Birmingham B13 8EH, England
