This busy cafe bar is situated in The Custard factory, an arts and design complex, in Digbeth. It's about a ten minute walk from the centre of Birmingham. It features a different artists work each month so the scenery is always changing. It's big wall lenght windows overlook the pool outside but this is sometimes empty if there is a special event on. There is always something going on around the complex, such as music all day festivals or fashion shows. IT can get pretty busy at times and does have theme nights with D.J.s and promotions. The choice of food is good and can be ordered all day and night. It's a fashionable venue and ideal for a good night out.
Advantages: very pretty, 'different', good nightlife Disadvantages: expensive, locals not too friendly

I especially remember 'Le cafedesArtistes' - very popular with Erasmus students, relatively cheap and with a good view of the river if you sit outside. I've been told that's still doing well...
Things to see include: the old monastry, lots of churches, museums etc but most of all Toulouse like so many ...
