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.

    We were among the first to arrive; within five minutes, a waiter approached us to present the menu. They were incredibly helpful in explaining some of the dishes and accommodating our inquiries about halal and vegetarian options. Someone was always available to address any questions and offer beverages, ensuring we didn't wait long to order and received the bill promptly after finishing. The restaurant itself was nicely lit, and the weather enhanced the atmosphere a bit, with the golden hour creating a lovely backdrop so early, as it is located on the 24th floor. The food was fabulous, and their salmon was one of the finest I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. The wait for the food felt brief; the bird's eye view captivated me as I waited, making the time fly. The only minor downside was the lint on the table upon arrival (which I presumed was from the napkins). Although the sunlight made it appear worse, it wasn't a significant issue and didn't taint my overall impression. Overall, it was an excellent experience; I plan to return, bringing more people next time!

    Amazing views over the city. Cosy decor. The atmosphere was borderline unpleasant: the music was far too loud for a restaurant like this. The meal was good but nothing more. No particular flavours and clearly too salty. The service was very good. A real plus. An experience in Birmingham.
    Orelle BirminghamResponded 2 days ago
    Dear Pascal, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the views, cosy décor, and excellent service from our team—it means a lot to us. We’re sorry to hear that the atmosphere and meal didn’t meet your expectations. Your comments about the music volume and food seasoning have been noted, and we'll share them with the team to ensure improvements are made. We appreciate your visit and hope to have the chance to provide you with a more enjoyable experience in the future. Kind Regards, Orelle Management

    A great evening once again at Orelle which is our go to restaurant in Birmingham. The quality and presentation of the food is excellent along with the service. Whilst some people may say it is expensive, you get what you pay for and it is worth every penny.
