Bellamy's

After reading a review on this site I too my Fiancé here for a romantic evening meal. It was perfect, we had champagne at the bar before sitting down to a lovely meal. We both started with the foie gras which was mind blowing, then my wife had the sole and I had venison, both extremely good but especially the sole. We were drinking wine by the glass recommended by their lovely somalie that complemented the food perfectly. We finished off with a crème brûlée, chocolate tart and desert wine all excellent.

Would highly recommend it to anyone.

My lovely wife and I used to go here a fair bit in our courting days but with one thing and other we are a little less extravagant than we used to be when eating out. However last Thursday we fancied a treat so decided to pop back to Bellamy's for a glimpse of our past. We booked on the day for an early meal at 7PM and we were in fact the first dinners there. We were shown to a nice big round table at the centre of the restaurant so we could admire all the coming and goings as the restaurant filled up.

The menu in Bellamy's is classic high end French which when done well like here is a knock out. My wife went for a nice prawn starter followed by her favourite dover sole. I decided to try the specials with a lovely warming soupe paysanne followed by herb crusted cod on a bed of beans. It was all delicious. Light but beautifully cooked, each moutful a pleasure. I washed this down with a glass of house red with my starter and a great dry white with the fish.

The highlight of the meal however was the lovely strudel my wife went for and my superb blackberry tart. Some real effort went into making two fairly standard deserts something very special. After this we relaxed with coffee watching our fellow dinners as the quaffed champagne, drank great claret , ate superb food and generally had fun. As this is Mayfair you get a very well heeled crowd but all very pleasant. The service was extremely good, efficient without being overbearing and we never felt rushed. The place was full when we left. This is a really nice restaurant for a special treat. I am already saving up for a return visit.
