    Honestly I don't write reviews, but this place was pretty awful. Many things went wrong, such as not even having our order when we walked in. Then, they gave us an uncooked brownie (literally liquid when you picked it up). There was also another person in there who needed their brownie remade at the same time because it was also liquid. We ordered the date night and it was not worth the money at all. The only thing that tasted good were the Trini doubles. The store was kind enough to offer a slight discount for not having our order (which we tipped most of back), but the braised pork belly was also inedible as it had a strong odour. Pana cotta also tasted like activia. I wrote this review to just let people know that the reviews are kind of biased compared to the quality of the product offered so people don't waste their hard earned money, but now based off the owner's review you can see that they probably just bully people into deleting the lower reviews lol

    Food was all excellent, I would come back here again. This place is very busy, even nearing close. It took about half an hour for our party of 6 to receive our food. It was my first time trying Turkish eggs and I enjoyed it. The house-made habanero based hot sauce was great!

    Just enjoyed their vegetarian dinner for two and was absolutely blown away by not only the food but the drinks and the service! Carney, our server, made sure we were taken care of, was super funny and kind and as a fellow vegetarian really hyped the dishes for us. and they delivered! literally every dish was a hit. the braised tofu is maybe the best tofu I've ever had (I've had a lot of tofu!!). we will definitely be back!

    Very cute little restaurant in Glebe. Not many tables to you should make a reservation. We did walk in and got lucky- seems like they can accommodate pretty well including bar seats. A diverse little menu with nice items- everything in 20-25$ range. Drip coffee 3$ on top of your meal - it was standard. I got the full Belmont which was generous! Salad for breakfast? Was delicious actually. Eggs and the best beans ever! Bacon typical. Thick Hamburger like sausage patty and potatoes that sometimes were a tad brand- might be better to dice them all instead of leaving them whole. Husband got the bacahlau and said it was VERY good! Atmosphere very cute - nice artwork, quiet music, loved the feel. Waitress very nice.

    We stopped by this place for brunch on our way to the Tulip Festival and it was incredible! We both had Full Belmont with poached eggs, sausage patty, bacon, biscuit, beans, salad, and roasted potatoes and it was beyond delicious. Among ourselves we swapped the potatoes and salad as I was really in a salad/green mode. The staff was super welcoming considering we had no reservations and were very helpful in recommending what to order. Would love to go back and try other options on the menu.

    Great restaurant for date night or a celebratory dinner. Not cheap but the food was delicious and well presented. Some really original dishes, too. The cocktails were also pretty good although mostly classics. Definitely recommend!

    Cocktails were world class and highly creative. The family style meal was a great way to cater to all the tastes in the group. We got a mix of standard and veggie, and glad we did. Each dish was unique and varied but all were cooked and flavoured to perfection. I will gladly dine here again and recommend it to any foodie in the city to try.

  • 5/5 Michelle S. 7 months ago on Google • 78 reviews
    Probably one of the best brunch spots in Ottawa. The Belmont is a busy spot so I highly recommend a reservation if you can. Everything on the plate had so much flavour & is clearly high quality.

  • 5/5 Tom L. 3 months ago on Google • 76 reviews New
    We typically sit at the bar and share three or four small plates. Our most recent visit hit all the right notes: interesting flavours & textures in the food. Maybe simple dishes but with a definite flair. Service from Sam behind the warm was warm, charming & attentive. Every neighbourhood should have a Belmont !

  • 5/5 Marty 2 years ago on Google
    INCREDIBLE experience here. I went with a few friends and we were BLOWN away by the service and food. Every one of our meals was expertly crafted with very unique and delicious tastes. The prices are incredible for the fine-dining style dishes. Our server was fun and kind, and our food came out in very good time! Will definitely be coming back again soon 💕

    Enjoyed a yummy brunch with some new friends at The Belmont! It’s always fun finding hidden gems in the city. I snapped a quick pic of The Pancake (a fluffy pancake, fresh berries, berry compote, maple syrup, whipped cream) before devouring it! It was sooo good! 😋

    Last night my wife and I shared the dinner for two for take out. It did not disappoint. All dishes travelled well and everything was as it should be once we got home (I know I've been concerned about how a meal will travel and hold up for take out when it isn't pizza or Chinese food). All of the flavors were just so balanced and well thought out. I feel grateful to have The Belmont so close to my home (I am new to Old Ottawa South). Thank you for an awesome first meal! We will absolutely be back (hopefully IN your restaurant!)

    We ordered 'Date Night' from the takeout menu last night. Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted fabulous. Those Trini Doubles are the best! Portions were just right. Thanks again for a great meal!

    Natalie was so friendly and took wonderful care of us last night. We had a quick beer (and snack) before dinner and enjoyed the atmosphere, service, and food so much that we made a reservation for Tuesday night! Thanks 🙏🏼

    An absolute gem. Staff are fabulous and knowledgeable. The atmosphere can be chill or upbeat depending of the time of day you visit. Their brunch menu is not the usual bacon and eggs but offers a Belmont twist to it, making it actually worth trying (every single item on that menu should be tried!!!) The space is cozy and small so go early to ensure you have space. Sweet spot to rent out for a holiday family or team party.

    Went for new years dinner with my husband and oh boy! Everything was spot on, food was amazing, excellent service. They all were super friendly and attentive, music was really good and the atmosphere was lovely. For sure we’re coming back 🙂

  • 5/5 Alexandra S. 7 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    One of the best places you’ll visit in the city. The prices are a steal for the amount and quality of food. Can’t wait to go back!

  • 5/5 Sarah M. 7 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    We visited the Belmont for my moms birthday and everything was great. Our server (forget her name sorry) was very knowledgeable on the menu and explained everything in detail. The cocktails were unique and refreshing. We started with the trini doubles and they were great (I definitely recommend adding the pork). For our mains, we shared the steak tartare, scallops, and piri piri chicken. My personal favourite was the scallops! The menu is designed for sharing and the portion sizes are great for the price. Everything tasted homemade and fresh. After our meal, my mom got a complimentary dessert for her birthday which was a nice touch. My only negative was that it was a bit loud when we first sat down but I know that happens during the dinner rush. But overall we had a great time with great service and an amazing meal! Would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Noah B. 1 year ago on Google
    Stumbled across this little gem and had an absolute blast of a night. An extra vibey, intimate environment with killer service and food / drink. Our servers Adam and Kate were a joy right from the start and helped us out with great recommendations for food and cocktails. Definitely check it out if you get the chance!

  • 5/5 Rucha R. 1 year ago on Google
    Some of the most delicious food I have ever had in Ottawa. Everything was amazing, so flavourful. Each dish was so creative too. Loved everything we ordered. Highly, highly recommend

  • 1/5 phil l. 1 year ago on Google
    Horrible service. When your told they need the table by 9 first thing when sitting down is never a good thing. Food was over priced for what you get. 70 $ for a mediocre surf and turf(at best). Server also keeped on pushing for the most expensive thing on the menu, saying " Our kitchen is small and this is the best way to enjoy your experience " Will not be returning.

  • 4/5 Lani H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very quaint and cute...lighting wasn't too harsh but also not so dim that I could see. While we got there late and all we had was drinks, the service was marvelous! Looking forward to visiting again!

  • 5/5 Shilo V. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful presentation of amazing food. The atmosphere is nice and very cozy. Staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. Brunch is so good. I would recommend The Belmont

  • 5/5 Ad_vent_ur_iste 1 year ago on Google
    I had great time. The food, the service, the ambience everything was great. I ordered Turkish eggs and I loved it. I would definitely go back. Highly recommended!!

  • 5/5 cari 1 year ago on Google
    Very good breakfast/brunch. Service was great, space is very cozy and has overall good vibes. Food is pricy but also feels just because of food quality and service. A great treat to spoil yourself for a meal out <3

  • 4/5 Freddy B. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was great, the place however was quite humid. The service was great! The mimosas were just how I like em... Boozy (which for $10 a glass they better be 😉). Can we talk about that half biscuit though?! It was delicious, wish I had the whole piece.

  • 4/5 Yves B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was delicious, went with the tasting menu and gave us a great sampling of the food they provide. The drinks were very interesting as they were a twist on the usual staples other restaurants provide. A great place for a date night.

  • 5/5 Katie H. 2 years ago on Google
    Only great things to say about the team at The Belmont and what they serve! The coziest and coolest atmosphere, tasty cocktails and a creative menu that never disappoints. Good vibes all round. The trini doubles are a MUST!!

  • 5/5 Sarah B. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food as always! The cauliflower is one of my favorites. The only feedback I have is that I found the sauce for the shrimp turnip cake a little too salty. Other than that, delicious.

  • 5/5 Shawn F. 2 years ago on Google
    I have never eaten from a more varied menu and every dish is full of absolutely stunning flavours.

  • 5/5 cody c. 2 years ago on Google
    Has a neighborhood vibe. Cozy up to the bar. Cocktails are on point. The food was comfort & they were able to modify dishes for allergies. Love the vibe in this place. Fair price point. Honest service. Bravo

  • 5/5 Grant Andrew D. 2 years ago on Google
    Belmont never disappoints -- great brunch plates, perfectly prepared; the coffee is good, too. The beans, marjoram mushrooms and in house sausage patty are all sides worth noting. Friendly staff, and good tuned playing.

  • 4/5 Ixchel Medina H. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered one of the Famous Trini Doubles and added slow roasted pork, and the half piri piri chicken with Potatoes and Seasonal veg. Half chicken is definitely plenty for two people! Also really nice that they have a small menu. This is one that we'll recommend for sure.

  • 5/5 Lindsay M. 1 year ago on Google
    We come here for breakfast regularly. It’s always been delicious! Very reasonably priced for the quality and quantity that you get, service is good. Even my mom, who is at an age where she is pretty set in her ways, raved about this place. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Tom P. 1 year ago on Google
    Genuinely one of my best dining and drinking experiences in the city. Truly a gem. Everything was perfect and the service was stellar too. Can’t say enough good things about this place. If you’re in the mood for good eats, good drinks and good music. This place will make sure your night is unforgettable! Not to mention, our waitress absolutely made the night so welcoming and fun :) would give six stars if I could.

  • 5/5 Istvan M. 4 years ago on Google
    The place is unassuming, yet the food is delicious, the cocktails also. The service was as you'd want - efficient and unintrusive. The menu is eclectic, as is the decor. I'd come back.

  • 5/5 Olena Helena B. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice little place. Very friendly staff. The food is not Michelin stars, but tasty and was ready fast 👍

  • 5/5 Jordan H. 3 years ago on Google
    This unsuspecting small space is truly a gem of Ottawa. The food is incredible.

  • 5/5 Crystal W. 1 year ago on Google
    The infamous doubles were fantastic - but our show stopper was the Turkish breakfast. A surprisingly unique lemony deliciousness you don’t want to miss.

  • 5/5 Nesrin Y. 9 months ago on Google
    We had the bay scallop ceviche, the birria jalisco and the famous trini doubles. Every single dish was insanely delicious, we would definitely love to return and enjoy their wonderful dishes once again as soon as possible.

  • 5/5 Dave S. 9 months ago on Google
    A memorable meal. Very inventive cuisine served at a leisurely pace (and logical order) so that we could enjoy each course while socializing with friends. Great vibe. Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Mama Mia Q. 11 months ago on Google
    Friendly staff. Bartenders are fun. Interesting selection of bar snacks. I found the menu to be limited. Eggs were great. Food was pricey for what I got. Vegetarian potatoes was $25 in 2023! I think the dish could have included a fun addition, and less potatoes or something. Tasted good, but presentation wasn't on point. The restaurant is worth a visit for trying a different take on food that is outside the typical "burger, fries, and salads" type of place.

  • 5/5 David K. 9 months ago on Google
    Outstanding food, great service. Everything just a bit more interesting than you expect from the description. The Trini doubles are not to be missed. The très leches cake for dessert was lovely, too! Not the cheapest, but worth every penny...

  • 5/5 Michael P. 4 years ago on Google
    Very unsuspecting high level restaurant. Went here before a show at the Mayfair and was extremely surprised by the quality of food. Tried the Belmont on a recommendation so had no idea what to expect. Don’t go here expecting to get stuffed but if you want unique flavors to share with your friends or SO come here. Really cute date spot. Can’t wait to come back.

  • 5/5 F R. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing food and great cocktails 🍸 this place is a vibe! Definitely a spot to try in bank St. I recommend making a reservation. It’s gets full Friday nights and weekends.

  • 5/5 Kevin A. 7 months ago on Google
    We've been coming here year after year and continue to be impressed and pleased with the experience. The menu offers a good balance of choices and the presentation is always a surprise. The plates all look so beautifully laid out, you almost hesitate to dig in (...well, almost). The Trini Doubles - with the pork! - are worth a stop in and of themselves.

  • 5/5 Fannie B. 3 years ago on Google
    Went there with friends - party of four. Most of the clientele were couples or small groups. Small place but had a nice atmosphere and was comfortable - good for talking but not too noisy. Service was prompt and the food was very good - fresh and eclectic. They had a reasonable selection of beer - not massive but sufficient.

  • 4/5 Julie 8 months ago on Google
    Had brunch here with some friends. The huevos rancheros and it was good but kind of cold. The service was okay, I felt like we were being rushed even though we went there later in the afternoon and they weren't very busy. Some parking is available in the parking lot beside the restaurant. The restaurant was nicely decorated.

  • 5/5 Sarah R. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful restaurant. I can’t say enough good things. Definitely one of the best in Ottawa. Their food and drinks are always outstanding. Their service always stands out from the rest. We’ve been coming here for years and have told our closest friends about this place. If you haven’t been yet- you’re truly missing out...

  • 5/5 Emily R. 3 years ago on Google
    One of my all time favorite brunch places. Cute, fresh and delicious.

  • 5/5 Mike B. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good choice of food, particularly the shareable plates, at pretty reasonable prices. Not really a restaurant vibe, more an eclectic, relaxed, warm pub vibe, but not a bar. Good cocktails. We had a great server (Shea).

  • 4/5 Laura P. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the top places in Ottawa for breakfast. But reserve! It's tiny!

  • 5/5 Lauren R. 4 years ago on Google
    My partner and I come here all the time now for date night, Belmont consistently has very good food, very good cocktails and very good service. Highly recommend. Try the Trini doubles!

  • 5/5 Catherine B. 4 years ago on Google
    Trini doubles were delicious. The scotch bonnet hot sauce was soo tasty. And...... The cocktails were outstanding. Unique, flavourful, and balanced. The servers are cool.

  • 5/5 Emma L. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic brunch. Relatively expensive but delicious dishes. We got the poached eggs with sausage ($14) and the huevos rancheros with pork ($17) and were both very impressed. A nice setting, too, though quite clearly a pub, so quite dark and relaxed. I see why this spot is so highly recommended. We’ll be back for more!

  • 5/5 Gbenga A. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food!

  • 5/5 Roxanne W. 4 years ago on Google
    Can not say enough great things about this place. The staff, the food, the cocktails, the decor, the ambiance. Its on my Ottawa bucket list every.single. trip. Last visit we shared the shrimp dish, scallop dish and beef dish. A foodie's delight! And the Trinidadian doubles. I'd go in just for that and a craft beer!

  • 5/5 Kurt 4 years ago on Google
    A cozy and homestyle atmosphere. Great food and friendly service, now one of my favorite brunch spots.

  • 5/5 Tamimi A. 4 years ago on Google
    Cocktails and atmosphere are on point. What’s even better is the service we got from our server! She was very kind and willing to hear our stories. Definitely recommend if you would like a chill place to catch up with friends

  • 5/5 Sharon L. 3 years ago on Google

    Wonderful summer evening meal packed with delicious local ingredients. Amazing cocktails as well. Home run. Service impeccable

  • 4/5 Alex T. 3 years ago on Google
    Overall pretty good, but was missing something. My tortillas were a bit chewy and maybe a bit bigger portions would be better

  • 5/5 Joel R. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing, big fan!

  • 5/5 Lynn-Ann S. 3 years ago on Google
    We had our first date night all year, and our first COVID-era dinner here a week ago. The server was amazing and the food was incredible. We will definitely be coming back!

  • 5/5 April M. 3 years ago on Google
    Super amazing!!!! Really impressed. Food was 10/10 - loved the Trini Doubles. Service was friendly and fast. Will be back!

  • 5/5 Thomas Y. 4 years ago on Google
    Cozy seating area, the windows near the front made it very bright. Great food, the Full Belmont was a perfect choice for brunch. The coffee was pretty good as well, with quick refills.

  • 5/5 Ary W. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic food and friendly people. Order something and see for yourself.

  • 5/5 Gaelec S. 2 years ago on Google
    Take your tastebuds on a trip with the delicious food and cocktails at Belmont. The staff is super friendly, the prices are great and the place has a unique ambiance that's perfect for a date or a night with friends. If you want a word of advice, TAKE THE FAMOUS TRINI DOUBLE!

  • 5/5 Sabrina B. 2 years ago on Google
    When I tell you the best service I’ve ever had in my life. People that made us doubles even though they were having a private event. So accommodating, so kind. Awesome trini food!

  • 5/5 Daniel G. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic bar menu. Good variety of mains ideal for sharing on a menu you can't go wrong on. Solid take on doubles. The sauce with it is too sweet for Trinny food.

  • 5/5 Raquelle S. 2 years ago on Google
    Vegetarian for 2. Was absolutely amazing. Tasteful from start to finish. Nice and peaceful atmosphere aswell.

  • 5/5 Dotti M. 3 years ago on Google

    Delicious

  • 5/5 Sara D. 3 years ago on Google
    I thought I had left a review already but I guess I didn't and that's a travesty! I visited a day or two before COVID shutdowns for a group birthday celebration. We had the family-style dinner and it was SO. GOOD. Many of the dishes were vegetarian so I appreciated that. I think one course was not veg and I did not get an alternative but I ate so much I didn't care ;)

  • 5/5 Shoba S. 4 years ago on Google
    Six of us all chose the family style dinner and were quite impressed. We were skeptical their doubles would not be authentic and were we ever surprised! Delish international flavours and friendly staff !

  • 5/5 Joanne J. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food, staff and ambience

  • 5/5 Sean B. 4 years ago on Google
    A neighbourhood gem. Sunday dinners here are phenomenal. Be sure to make an online reservation in advance.

  • 5/5 Greg S. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing ambience, great food and drinks! Cool date night spot! Natalie and Shea welcome you as if you've never left, definitely will he visiting more often.

  • 5/5 Robert M. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazingly great. Went there for a small birthday dinner and was blown away. Chill atmosphere, delicious and creative cocktails. The Trini doubles were great, and it just kept going. The beef bulgogi, had home made Kimchi! Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Kayla P. 4 years ago on Google
    Came to this place on a whim! We got super lucky and got A seat before the pace became so so busy. The food was fantastic! It was the best egg sandwich I've ever had and the nord board was filled with dill Smoky goodness. The staff was also super friendly friendly. The only thing I'd recommend is to get a reservation first!

  • 5/5 Sabrina D. 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Was our first time back in a few years, we certainly won't wait another few years to go back. Had great food and the service was on point. Had a few different plates with the family style option and loved them all. The food was tasty, hot and fresh. Atmosphere was great too, not too loud and could have a conversation.
