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.

    Not a friendly welcome downstairs , then clockroom girl decides to pile 4 coats on 1 hanger . Veloute was cool, chateaubriand was poor quality and very over salted and so was the pepper sauce. I did advise the waiter who said is I’d said earlier they could have replaced it. This would have Meant waiting whilst the rest of our table ate which was not desirable- I explained it was edible but not qood quality - no apology was forthcoming or an offer to make it up some way which most mid range restaurants would have done never mind what orelle charges at £116 for 2 - we have had better at miller and carter and that’s saying something!. Dessert was nice and so were the cocktails 🍸 Disappointing birthday meal for £450 and I won’t be back ….
    Orelle BirminghamResponded 1 day ago
    Dear Donna, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry your experience didn’t meet expectations, especially for a special occasion. Our manager checked during your meal, but concerns about the chateaubriand and sauce were raised after it was finished, limiting our ability to address them. Your comments have been noted for review with the kitchen team. Regarding the cloakroom, we apologize for any inconvenience, In two years, this is the first comment about coats on the same hanger. While coats were initially placed on one hanger, they were separated immediately after your request, as we always aim to accommodate guests needs. While we’re pleased you enjoyed the desserts and cocktails, we regret your overall experience fell short and value your feedback to help us improve. Kindest, Orelle

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