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.

    Totally outstanding! I've been fortunate enough to have visited many restaurants over the years including Michelin starred 1,2 and 3 starred. Orelle could give a couple of the 1 star Michelin a run for their money. The view from the 25th floor is amazing, the food is outstanding but we must not forget the staff . Discreet and attentive to everything. Well done each and everyone.

    The experience was good overall but nothing amazing. The food too was good but lacked anything special for the price. was not worth the hefty bill, £160+ for 2 people for nothing exceptional is a little steep in Birmingham. Service wasn’t bad but the waiter disappeared for 15 minutes which is something I read previously on reviews but was hoping wasn’t part of my experience. The waiter was busy on their phone instead of waiting on tables. Other servers were very polite and provided a good service.

    We had such a lovely evening at this restaurant. It exceeded our expectations. I have a gluten and lactose food intolerance but this was not an issue as it was made clear what dishes would be suitable and most of the dishes could be changed to accommodate this. The food itself was amazing. The service was amazing. Our drinks were continuously topped up without having to say anything. Michaela looked after us and all the other staff members we encountered were friendly. We look forward to coming back next year with our family for our wedding reception.

    Dear Emma, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that your evening with us exceeded expectations and that we were able to accommodate your dietary needs so smoothly. It's wonderful to know Michaela and the team made you feel so well looked after — we'll be sure to pass along your lovely feedback. We’d be honoured to welcome you and your family back next year for your wedding reception — what a special occasion to celebrate together! Kindest, Orelle Management Team

    Great views, but more style over substance. Service was great, food and therefore value let it down in our opinion. Fab place for a drink though!
