Orelle is a modern French restaurant located on the 24th floor of 103 Colmore Row, situated in the heart of the city’s business district and comprises a restaurant, cocktail bar, all-day café and terrace.

The name Orelle draws inspiration from the French words for gold (or) and her (elle). It is also the name of a French mountain village.

Orelle offers 360-degree, panoramic views across the city and beyond. Open for lunch and dinner, Orelle will serve a menu featuring both classic and modern French dishes. The small but beautifully designed bar will offer both classic and innovative cocktails, all expertly crafted by some of Birmingham’s best mixologists.

    A lovely ladies luncheon made very special by such a fabulous venue. Excellent food and service. The views were to die for even on a grey and overcast day. There was no pressure to hurry our meal and we lingered for a few hours. I will definitely return at night to experience the ambience of dining overlooking the city!

    Customer service was poor and cold. A couple of the waiters were really nice however the receptionist and manager came across really cold and rude. Only one of the 3 starters tasted good and I’d reorder and just one of our 2 mains were good. The lobster dish was so bad overall and chewy. I was really looking forward to enjoying this place as the venue was great and fancy for our first date as a married couple but the food and service (except waiters) was disappointing. Would like to see something change.

    Slightly disappointed by the whole experience. I paid for a window table, which we got but it was right at the very end by the stairwell door which meant there was a lot of people traffic behind us. There was also a lot of noise from the area behind us which may have been a back door to the bar/service area. The service was okay but not great and the food was mediocre. This is the third time I have eaten at Orelle and by far the most disappointing. Considering it was meant to be a special occasion, there seemed to be little attention to detail and a very hurried experience. The food was luke warm and it has certainly put me off returning. This is meant to be a stand out restaurant which it will remain that for the aesthetic and views but not for the food.

    Orelle would be near the top of the list on somewhere to dine for absolutely any occasion. Whether you are just wanting amazing food or an exceptional experience with that something a little bit special…. Orelle will not disappoint. The blackout event is a “must experience” and will live up to and surpass the highest of expectations. The best restaurant in Birmingham, food is amazing, the service from the team always absolutely perfect and the view of the city is fab. I look forward to returning again. Enjoy 🙂

    Dear Guest , Thank you so much for the 5-star review, we are delighted to hear you enjoyed the Blackout Dinner! Looking forward seeing you here next time! Best, Orelle Management Team

    Superb location with fantastic views. Went for Sunday lunch & the fixed menu price seemed very reasonable. Unfortunately, many options carried a supplement. I chose the beef for the main course which was very nice but unfortunately the gravy let it down. It was pale & tasteless & only warm rather than piping hot. I chose the chocolate cake for dessert which was fine but certainly not amazing. More on the lines of something you'd expect from a chain pub. Having said all that, thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Orelles & would visit again as a special treat.
