Rios

Rios in Shackleton is the secondary restaurant in which meal plan students in the main area of University of Birmingham accommodation can buy lunches and dinners. Unlike Fusion, which is styled as a traditional type dining hall, Rios is closer to a café, and the food matches this. They provide an excellent range of baguettes, paninis, jacket potatoes, and sandwiches. The baguettes in particularly are very good, made fresh on the premises to order (my personal suggestion is the crab and prawn filling, but judging by the reactions of most people when I tell them that, I think that might be something of an acquired taste!). Rios also serves a nice range of hot drinks, including hot chocolate with mini marshmallows and cream, and the number of comfy leather sofas, combined with the wonderful views of the leafy Vale provided make Rios a great place to go and relax after a long day or a big night out.
