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.

    Orelle has quality service and professional staff. About average food. But unnecessarily expensive. It’s worth the visit but too expensive

    The decor and views of Birmingham were amazing. The food was exceptional in quality. However, one of our group was vegetarian. There was only one starter and one main she could choose from the Sunday lunch menu and although she thoroughly enjoyed the taste of both, the portion size was extremely small compared to the other dishes around the table. On the opposite side of the scale, the size of the roasts and the vegetable accompaniments were plentiful. Overall a very nice set menu lunch, but the portion sizes for the vegetarian dishes should be increased to warrant the same price tag as the larger meat and fish options.
    Orelle BirminghamResponded 7 days ago
    Dear Ajit, Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed the décor, views, and exceptional food quality. 🌟 We’re glad the vegetarian dishes were enjoyed, though we appreciate your note about the portion sizes. Your comments are valuable, and we’ll share them with our chefs to ensure better balance in portion sizes across all options. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience! 😊 Kindest, Orelle Management Team

    Great food and service as always. However the background music (played by DJ) was a tad loud for table conversation.

    It was our first visit to Orelle and lived up to its reputation of a high dining destination. The view over the cities night time landscape was breathtaking. The service from the front desk to the serving team was supurb. Attentive without being overbearing providing the ideal balance. Although it was Christmas party season Orelle maintained its intimate feel. Food was well prepared and arrived hot the Tuna stater is highly recommended and the Entrecote was cooked to perfection. We will be booking again soon for lunch to seen the daytime view.
