Please note our Afternoon Tea is served Wednesday - Sunday from 13:00 - 16:30 and we ask you to pre-book to avoid disappointment.

Madeleine follows the tradition of grand hotels with luxurious cocktail bars: its double-height windows, sparkling chandeliers, and rich soft furnishings make it at once super-glamorous and utterly enticing.

We think that once you are sat at your table, sipping a cocktail or a glass of Champagne, you won’t want to leave – and who can blame you? We welcome you to enjoy some light French inspired snacks whilst with us, or why not indulge fully in our impressive Afternoon Tea, handcrafted by Head Pastry Chef, Roger Lomas, and his innovative team.

Our hope is to establish Madeleine as somewhere that’s exclusively for everyone, a glamorous setting that’s perfect for special occasions, celebrations, and treats but equally somewhere you can drop by on the spur of the moment (subject to availability, of course).

    Very disappointing trip to one of our favourite bars in Brum. Service slow and forgetful ….. Bar quiet for the Saturday before Xmas. Are you losing your way?

    Totally exceeded my expectations. Fabulous service, setting and food. Beautiful calm, graceful ambience with warm helpful staff and every item on the menu was first rate. A pleasant surprise that unlimited teas, any type of coffee and hot chocolate were included in afternoon tea and the rose fizz to accompany goes perfectly as an add on. A special start to Christmas and a refined yet relaxed oasis in which to enjoy it at leisure. Highly recommended thank you - we will be back.

    Fabulous as always. Only very small improvement needed in timings. We waited a very long time for our first drink and subsequent drinks were faster but still slow. Perhaps more staff

    This is our 4th Christmas visit for afternoon tea and in our opinion there’s nowhere better, it even beats The Ritz. We look forward to and enjoy it so much.

    Food was delicious but table service atrocious. The staff themselves were helpful but they just didn’t come. Waited ages to order, we had received the soup cup before we had ordered the afternoon tea. We requested a top up of tea and it took ages to arrive. Seriously not good

    We really enjoyed the after tea experience. Room was decorated so pretty and very Christmassy. Staffs were all friendly and plite. Just purely short staffed for the super busy period therefore the servo was bit slow sometime and it was bit difficult to get their attention. We would definitely recommend their afternoon tea experience if they haven’t done before. Such a value for money and amazing experience. Cakes aren’t overly sweet or heavy like most English afternoon tea places. Everything was delicate and delicious. We will come back again soon.

    Lovely choice of non-alcoholic cocktails (especially the Asterix!) great staff and beautiful room. (Coasters for sale at £1:50 too, great if your name is the same as the bar…)

    Dear Anne, I am thrilled that you had such a fantastic experience and that you thoroughly enjoyed our bespoke cocktails. I hope you took home some coasters :) I Look forward to welcoming you to our lounge in the year. Warm Regards, Beth Partridge Madeleine Lounge Floor Manager
