Bellami's - Bar à Manger — Restaurant in Groningen

The service was great. But the food is average and I might even say lacking for its price. If it aims to be a fine dining place, I would expect better foods. This might seem like nitpicking, but at this price range you expect a high quality dining experience. I ordered the 4-dish menu and this is what I would say: The second dish and the dessert had pastry in them. The pastry was very sub-par. Soggy and not flaky at all. The third (main) dish which has meat and some sides. The meat was very average, nothing exciting about it. The sides were all cold, while I expected them to be warm. The dessert was some apple tart with ice cream. I already mentioned the pastry was not the greatest, and the apples were not thoroughly cooked.

The first and second dishes were the best, but they were not spectacular either.

And this is a bit nitpicking: the menu is only in Dutch and the “candy” that they gave after paying was a bit (for the lack of better words) nasty. I would suggest to stick to the true and tested Wilhelmina mints. :)

Unfortunately, I would say there are much better options in the city if you are willing to spend...

Let me give the conclusion right away - You do not want to miss out on this restaurant ! Bellami's is a relatively small and intimate restaurant were You immediately feel welcome. Only two waiters were serving but they managed perfectly all the tables. Our waiter, also the sommelier, explained the menu perfectly in english and advised well on selection of dishes and not to mention the wines. Bellami's have an impressive winelist which also includes gems like older Barolo's and Burgundy wines. The wines are very reasonable priced, especially considering the quality. The food was absolutely delicious, lovely presented and gives great value for money. We will certainly come back next time...

The ambiance is cozy and charming, with an attention to detail that really sets it apart. And let me tell you, the nems de canard and hachis parmentier are both standout dishes - absolutely delicious. If you're in Groningen and craving some French cuisine, Bellami's is the...
