About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Fancy
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).

    It’s a lovely place but let down by the staff. The service is just so slow…. Lots of staff walking and not looking. They could sell twice as much if they were slightly bothered.
    Madeleine BarResponded on 1 June 2025

    Woodford old fashioned was not as good as normal. Maybe over stirred down.
    Madeleine BarResponded on 1 June 2025
    Dear Dave, Thank you so much for your feedback. I talked to the bar team to make sure we all know how long we are supposed to stir a cocktail for, to avoid over stirred cocktails such as the one you have had. I hope you can join us for an other Old Fashioned in the future to regain your faith in our standards! Warm Regards, Dan Vignali Madeleine Bar Manager

    Service was dreadfully slow; as it was the last time I visited. We had to wait 20 minutes for our first round of drinks which were 5 Gin & Tonis, so an easy order, not even cocktails. Next round we ordered a bottle of champagne which wasn’t even chilled, this was discovered after the bottle had been opened and all five glasses filled! Finally we ordered another round of G&T’s which came with no garnish or lemon just ice. I asked why and got a side plate delivered to the table with slices of lemon on it. Not good at all and not what you expect when spending £400 on drinks. To top it all off I got presented a bill with 12.5% service. When i politely complained and asked to speak to the manager the chap just walked off. Safe to say I will not be rushing back, nor will any of the other four from my party. Plenty of better bars in Birmingham to choose from….
