Noel’s Bar & Restaurant sits beside Birmingham’s canals at 22 Waterfront Walk. The warm, elegant dining room and waterside setting frame the restaurant as a modern Mediterranean escape in the city centre. It works for lunch, dinner, drinks and celebrations, with a private dining room available for more intimate events.
The kitchen draws on flavours from Italy, Spain, Greece and elsewhere around the Mediterranean. Fresh pasta is rolled daily, sauces are made in house and steaks are cooked over charcoal. Premium meat from Aubrey Allen joins seafood, handmade pasta, pizza and burgers across the restaurant’s different menus, giving diners both polished dishes and familiar favourites.
Vegetarian and vegan dishes are integrated into the menus rather than treated as an afterthought, with items such as risotto, vegetable filled pasta and sorbet appearing in recent selections. Some dishes can also be prepared without gluten ingredients. Because the kitchen handles all major allergens, guests with dietary requirements should discuss the current recipes and preparation directly with the team.
The separate bar serves signature and classic cocktails, mocktails, wine, Champagne, spirits and bar snacks. Its canal views make it useful for a drink before or after dinner, while afternoon tea and set lunch menus offer a different pace from the à la carte experience. Noel’s combines a destination style room with enough menu variety to suit both a relaxed visit and a special occasion.
