Arco Lounge is an all day cafe bar at 147 High Street in Harborne. Its light, airy room has full length windows that open toward the street, while a long picture gallery and characteristic Lounge decor give the interior an informal, individual feel.
The broad menu covers breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, moving from morning plates into sandwiches, small dishes, burgers, bowls and larger mains. This variety makes it useful for a quick coffee, a family meal or an evening catch up.
Dedicated vegan and gluten free menus sit alongside the main selection, and children have their own Little Loungers choices. Panang curry and a wide range of tapas combinations illustrate the menu’s mix of global flavours and familiar comfort food.
Arco opens every day and welcomes walk ins, with group enquiries available for larger parties. Coffee, soft drinks, beer, wine and cocktails accompany the food, and the venue is dog friendly. Guests with allergies should still speak with staff about ingredients and cross contact before ordering.
Address: 147 High Street, Harborne, Birmingham B17 9NP, England
