"Belmont Food Shop is a true gem in the RVA dining scene. Dining here for me and my partner is like dining in one of our most cherished French country bistros. The menu du jour is "a l'ardoise" (written on a chalkboard) in the typical French bistro style. There is a three-course prix fixe ($50) or you can order a la carte. We always choose the prix fixe and are astonished at the great value for the fine cuisine that is presented! On our most recent visit, we started with the in-house cured duck prosciutto with peaches and arugula and also the house-made pâté...both superb! Our mains were the roasted chicken and the lamb with ratatouille. Both were masterfully prepared and so delicious. We finished our meal with the peach cobbler and almond cake...a fitting end to our meal. Brie was our wonderful server. She warmly welcomed us, explained the menu items, suggested accompanying wines (which were great!) and checked in with us frequently throughout the meal. We couldn't have wished for a better dining experience. Bravo to all at Belmont Food Shop! You're a gem in the RVA dining scene and for very good reason. We look forward to many returns!!!"

"This place is as memorable as it is delicious. A series of Incredible dishes leads to a level of surprise and satisfaction rarely achieved. Our server Nate was attentive and complimentary of the chef in such a way that made you glad you decided to stop and trust your night to this one of a kind restaurant."

"My dining partner, and I stopped in for an early dinner. We had a delightful experience. All of the food was well prepared with interesting twists. In particular, the duck prosciutto with a fennel salad and clementine geleé was a revelation. The two waitresses were excellent and kept the entire small restaurant moving nicely. We will absolutely return."

"Wonderful little gem with a French flair! Perfect for an intimate friend gathering or a date, though probably not a first date as the preset menu takes a couple of hours to go through! You select from an appetizer, main course, and dessert list! Cocktails are unique and so are the glasses that they come in! The cured tuna was a miss, but everything else was 5 stars! You would want to book a table!"

"Delicious food, helpful and friendly staff, and fair prices. It was a fixed price menu, $45 for app, entree, and dessert with good and reasonable portions. The food was so well prepared, delicious and refined without trying to be too fancy. The atmosphere is simple and cozy with lots of wood."
