Belmont

Second visit to the Belmont. Both were great experiences; unique spins on a variety of mains and appetizers . Quality was superb; everything was fresh. Not big portions but this was more than compensated by the quality of the food. Had cider and wine for beverages; again, good quality. The meals were not cheap but I would recommend the Belmont without hesitation.

How can you not love the Belmont? The atmosphere is relaxed and fun; the decor is interesting and innovative; and the food is creative, seasonal and delicious. There last week with a party of four: we shared all our dishes, including the smelts, a raw tuna dish, a seafood dish and the roasted cauliflower. Everything was gush-worthy, but a treat to see smelts cooked so expertly, and the roasted cauliflower was a total standout. Ooh la la, hit me again with some of that spicy, roasted crunchiness, baby!

Our waiter was delightful, and we were all thoroughly impressed by the Belmont by the time we left. Be sure to make reservations well in advance, because the place fills up fast.

We always enjoy brunch at the Belmont .
Fun staff and fantastic food!

Loved everything about our brunch! Great server, delicious food, lovely space.

The food was amazing. Great drink options. Impeccable service. I will be back there soon.

You have to eat here if you are in Ottawa. Great food and good ambiance.

Great spot
Had never heard of It before but likely to return
A bit pricey on the wine list for not top shelf wines but it was fine.

It was great for a special night out. The starter doubles we shared were super, we preferred the beef. The main course we loved was crispy pork, the shrimp main course sauce I found so so. Dessert we shared was the dutch baby, a crepe with fruit and whipped cream - yummy. Good service and friendly staff made it special.

Fun atmosphere and food that arrives steaming!! Love this place.

Really liked the charcuterie and cheese board.Enjoyed the pinot noir from Huff Estates. The server was very knowledgeable.

The decor was inviting and set the right mood for a relaxed lunch, although the big band jazz music contributed to that in a big way, well done. The service was prompt and friendly as well, it was appreciated. Both our food selections were excellent (Belmontecristo & the Full Belmont). The only detracting element was that the restaurant was filled with thick smoke, presumably from grilling meat, which irritated my throat and overshadowed the aromas of the food. Did they have a hood fan issue, perhaps? I do hope that on my next visit I'll find it easier to breathe and the aromas at their best with cleaner air.

First class, should have tried earlier! Dim sum was to die for, not to mention the salad!

The Belmomt is always a great outing. Food is excellent, ambiance is friendly and the service is first rate. A real gem.

The whole point of going out is for great food and friendly attentive service, which is exactly what we got at The Belmont. I’m sorry I can’t recall our servers name, though I’m sure she mentioned it, but she was lovely. The food was so damn good I’m still thinking about it and telling everyone...can’t wait to go back!

The food was sooo delicious!!! Especially the Trini doubles with beef. Our server was lovely and we all had a really great night.

Interesting and innovative food. Great flavours. Excellent service - friendly and professional.

We wanted to go here for a long time, and we were not disappointed! Amazing food, great drinks. New favourite place! Go for the Sunday dimsum for sure!

After eating at Belmont the first time I talked about it to everyone I know for a week afterwards. I rarely am so impressed by a restaurant that I make a point of returning within the month but I knew the menu would change and wanted to share the rock hen dish with a friend I knew would appreciate it. Also had Laab beef salad, pork and mushroom dumplings, mushreuben - all delicious - and of course the Trini doubles, now my new favourite in Ottawa. Service is stellar - the server made me a cocktail off-menu since I prefer stuff that isn't very sweet - but note food is cooked to order so if you're looking for a quick meal, this may not be your first choice depending on what you order. So take some extra time because Belmont is not to be missed.

Wonderful cosy atmosphere. Servers were exceptionally attentive. Although menu is small we tried numerous dishes and all were fresh and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back.

Great food! Creative dishes! Can have a conversation with your dinner party.

That was good tasty fun! The food is way better than you might think from the menu. We especially liked the trini doubles, the dumplings and the dutch baby. Staff was welcoming and helpful, the setting was down-to-earth trendy, the prices were reasonable and the overall experience was great. We'll be back.

Amazing food, great brunch menu, Shannon, Jesse and Jona are amazing chefs..............love this place

Had the Belmontecristo with Kimchi and I wasn't sure how it would taste but it was delicious. Staff were great, ambiance great, all round great experience.

Great evening. Fun staff! Great food!

This was our second visit to Belmont, and it did not disappoint. We tried the Trini Doubles, which were amazingly tasty, and then shared two small plates and two large ones. We were completely stuffed. We will definitely return!

Excellent food, sophisticated and surprising. Out of the ordinary kind of brunch.

Fantastic experience. Everything from the cocktails to the food and service is wonderful. Great ambiance and funky comfortable place!!

Excellent service followed by delicious food. Easy-going and cozy ambiance. Great place to chill out.

The food was excellent and we will be back. Place was a bit jammed and service suffered as a result. Took 40 minutes to get our first course. Things got better after that. Funky neighbourhood place.

Really cool place to grab a drink in old Ottawa south. The staff are amazing & the menu is super unique

Amazing service and great food! Reservation is a must as seating is limited.

Wonderful as usual!

We love Belmont! We've been there a few times now, and have liked everything we've tried. We'll be back again.

We had an amazing time at Belmont for Father's Day. Everyone got something different, and everything was delicious. It was really good value considering the quality of ingredients and the amazing flavours. Definitely a place I want to bring people! We'll definitely be back.

Lovely asian-fusion flavours in the dim-sum dishes, and the trunk doubles are a total hit. Great service and drink selections.

The Belmont rocks. Staff is friendly and the food is consistently impressive. The menu is short and solid, though I don't even look at anymore - opting instead just to ask what's new and great. The cocktails are always a winner and bar snacks are a great way to kick off the night. I'm not sure of anyone doing casual, high value, fun atmosphere better than Adrian and his team right now. They've managed to niche-out a calm cool vibe for themselves and there are few places around town where I feel so consistently at ease, happy, and pleased-for-value than the Belmont. Love it.

Service was attentive. Food was interesting, with several vegetarian options.

All of the dishes were very well done. I especially enjoyed the scallop ceviche. The service and food were great without the pretension of some restaurants I have been to in the Byward Market area.

I was very disappointed that our party was asked to give up our table before we were finished our meal to accommodate a “last minute” online reservation. No opportunity for a last round of drinks, coffee or dessert. While the server was apologetic, I felt we should have been given more notice or the incoming party told to wait 15-20 mins. Otherwise the food was delicious, the ambience great, and the service very attentive.

From brunch to cocktails, The Belmont is my fave go to bistro !
