Malmaison Brasserie - Birmingham

We visited on Sunday evening following a trip to the theatre. We were a table of 6 and ordered 2 cote de bouef and a Sunday sharing platter. All the food was lovely, steak done medium as we asked for it. Great service from very friendly and accommodating staff. 10/10 would recommend.

Poor meal. Steak was not good and was cooked blue when I asked for rare. When taking the meal away the server asked if it was ok asi had left most of it I said no. He said he would get the manager. She came and said they recommend their steaks to be cooked for at least medium. No offer of recompense. Service was good but attitude by the manager and steak quality poor.

Mediocre place. Is lovely on the inside but the service and food were terrible. Food was lukewarm/cold. So disappointed since it was a special occasion with the family. I ordered a medium rib-eye but a lot of it was cooked to medium rare which I don’t enjoy. Took an hour for our mains to be served to us. Probably would have waited longer if we didn’t speak up and say. Definitely not what we expected. So upset with how it has been. Such a shame the staff are terribly trained in cooking steaks and just basic customer service.

My husband and I ate dinner here on Friday 29th September 2023. I had the moules frites and my husband ordered the roasted lamb rump both meals were cooked to perfection. The atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely cosy and relaxing. Special mention must be given to the staff. We were served by two charming waitresses who were welcoming, friendly and helpful. A very enjoyable experience. We will definitely eat here again and recommend.

Had a nice weekday evening here, the food was better than last visit (pork belly last time was a bit tough, Gruyère in the dauphinoise was too overpowering, but this time the chef achieved the perfect balance and crispy crackling). Service was excellent, thank you Francesca
