Loved this spot for breakfast. Close to main area of town. You are right out on the marina dock area. Lots of dogs which I love but some people may not. Reservations highly recommended. Service was great, food very good - typically breakfast items. Water in cardboard boxes due to COVID - great idea. read more

Food was good. A bit pricy but we were expecting that. I ordered a bagel & my hubby had some kind of croissant sandwich & home fries. For the price, my mimosa was really small. Service wasn't the greatest. Our waitress passed by us numerous times w/o checking on us then she came w the check w/o us asking for it & w/o asking if we wanted anything else. It was not crowded at all & she had 2-4 tables including us so she wasn't super busy. We were seated under a tent next to heaters. Ate, talked & watched a bunch of yachts be cleaned. Glad we tried. read more

I was so excited to check this place out but unfortunately this was a HUGE miss for me. Yikes! Service was horrendous! It went from 10 min wait to 25 min wait. When we finally were seated we waited another 25 mins before our drink order was taken. The menu is very limited so it takes all of 5 minutes to decide on what you'd like. I ordered yogurt to start and not only did I request utensils to be able to eat it but ended up having to get up to get it myself. It looked as if it was tossed in the bowl. An basic egg and cheese sandwich took an hour to get, let me just say it was not busy. I'm not sure if this is the usual for this place but mid way waiting I was so tempted to cancel the entire order. If it wasn't for the very little view you get I would have given one star. By far the worst service I received in a very very long time. So disappointing but will not be returning. read more

The location is the highlight of this resturant. Nestled amongst the most stunning collection of sail boats and yachts it's no wonder there is usually an hour wait for a table. We got lucky. We came at 1 pm the Wednesday after Labor Day and before the boat show. We were seated immediately. Maura our server, was attentive and pleasant. Everything we ordered was fresh and perfectly cooked and exactly as described in the menu. The Avacado toast was served on crispy sourdough. The poached eggs were prepared as requested, jammy and hot. Too much everything Bagle seasoning hid the fresh flavors. The home fries were soft and completely covered in a herb seasoning. The arugula salad with Panco crusted chicken was also perfectly cooked. But the salad was over dressed and a bottle of capers topped the salad. Bottom line, today there was a heavy hand in the kitchen with the seasoning. I bet on another day, the exact same meal would have been 5 star perfect to match the beautiful surroundings. read more

This harbor-side eatery in Newport's Safe Harbor Shipyard was conveniently located across from our hotel, the Newport Marriott. From the outside, the establishment appeared to not be busy, but when we entered, there were customers everywhere and the atmosphere was buzzing. Despite the restaurant having quite the a.m. crowd, our service was quick and convenient, which suited my family and I best in that moment, considering we had an upcoming appointment. The food- filling, delicious, and just what we needed to kickstart our day. Avocado toast, for me, is always a hit or miss, but this toast from Belle's was a hit! Please, if you're in Newport and looking to eat somewhere with an array of options for kids, a sweet tooth, a classic breakfast craving, or whatever else, give Belle's a taste! read more

TL;DR: amazing food, great outdoor seating with or without shade and great service I came here with three others with our two doggies and they were extremely accommodating. We came on a Monday (forgot to make reservations but they were able to seat us pretty quickly). Great service as they got water bowls for our dogs and was quick to take our orders. They had a lot of great food to choose from. We got the Crab Cake Benedict (absolutely amazing - a must get), twin lobster rolls (extremely good - if you love lobsters, you'll like this), Texas style French toast (not your average French Toast, great density and flavor with just the right hint of sweetness), and shipyard sandwich (good sandwich). Everything was delicious. We ate everything. Every single crumb and bit. Highly recommend!! Enjoy! read more

A good lunch/brunch spot at the shipyard by the pier, walking distance from most hotels. Four of us came here on a weekday without reservation and we were seated within 10mins. Our server Matt was super friendly and funny, he brighten up our brunch. We wanted to try the steak and eggs special but they already sold out by noonish, so we opted for the waffle and the omelette - both were on that day's special as well. We also tried the crab Benedict and avocado toasts. It was a nice lunch and we had a pleasant time there. read more

We were in Newport on vacation and decided to have breakfast here since it came highly recommended. We were told we'd have a 15 minute wait which is no problem. We observed several people coming up to the podium to be seated and they were ignored by several staff members. Our server was super sweet, but there didn't seem to be enough staff to keep up with seating people and running food/drinks. My fiancé had a breakfast sandwich which was good, but I had the waffles which tasted premade and too too sweet. This is a beautiful restaurant and I loved sitting outside on the marina. I just don't think we'd pick this one again. This restaurant is also in the back of a shipyard, and I think the best part of this experience was watching them move the huge yachts around. read more

Belle's - Ham egg and cheese on crossiant - Cafes Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

Eggs Benedict and blueberry pancakes were excellent. Coffee very good. Service was very good. Limited seating so wait time can be an issue. Reservations only for groups of 10. While very good and satisfying, held back from 5 stars because we didn't think anything was spectacular, especially after having waited for about 30 minutes on a Monday. read more

Beautiful spot for breakfast- definitely get there early in the summer though if you want to avoid a wait! Food was very mediocre but prices are reasonable. Service was a bit slow- but when you're sitting on the water with a gorgeous view, there is no rush. Def would come back for the views but again there is definitely better food elsewhere read more

Food was pretty good but the location is what makes Belle's as cool as it is! Parking can be a little difficult.

Writing this 5 star review with a big smile on my face, sitting at the bar top inside, sipping my 2nd cup of coffee, having just eaten one of the top 5 Lox Bagel sandwiches in my life, listening to chill music, looking out at the boats in Newport harbor and the bridge in the distance. I'm in town for a wedding, and this place did not disappoint for breakfast after a night of too many cocktails. The outside looks to be the popular place to sit, and they have a take out window which I was going to utilize ... until I spotted two grey haired guys dining alone at the counter, smiling, people watching, enjoying the summer views, and delicious food. Figured I would join them. Great decision. One of these guys sails 10 months out of the year and is headed to the Bahamas this afternoon. What a cool convo in a cool breakfast place to enjoy - again, literally one of the BEST lox breakfast sandwiches ever. I'll happily pay $15+ when the sandwich has the perfect combo of tomatoes and red onion and capers and generous with the salmon portion, not to mention a watermelon orange strawberry fruit garnish. I'm just saying, this isn't grabbing a sandwich from some quick deli and running away. Sit down and enjoy eating at this establishment. Oh PS the staff hustles and is sharp and on point, from hostess to other wait staff to the chefs (open kitchen inside was cool to hear the team at work on a busy Saturday morning!) read more

What a gem we found! Went for breakfast and really enjoyed the tucked away location in Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard. They were short staffed but you wouldn't know it! There were 2 servers and 1 helper...Great teamwork!! Lauren was our waitress... great job! Food was just as good as service...crab Benedict was yummy, as were the pancakes and waffles! We'll be back next time in Newport! (Outdoor tables are accessible) read more

We had breakfast ... an omelet & crab-eggs Benedict. The omelette was good, but the home fries were very spicy. It seemed like there was a lot of pepper & seasoning on it. The eggs Benedict with crab was fair, not very tasty. Also, it should have had more hollandaise sauce on it. Again the home fries were too spicy with too much pepper and herbs. The service was pretty good except for a waitress forgot to bring over jelly. read more

The food was excellent! It was nice being able to sit in the harbor watching the boats go in and out. The best part was the food after living in Maine all summer still the best lobster roll I've had. read more

This cute little place was a perfect stop. There was indoor and outdoor seating! You order up at the counter and get a buzzer. The inside was pretty small but had a good amount of seating. We order the clam chowder which was ready right away and was great! We split the twin lobster rolls and we were able to get two sides. I got the home fries and my bf got the pasta salad. The lobster rolls were really good. The buns were toasted nicely and the lobster was light but a bit too lemony for me. We were told these were the best lobster rolls in town so I would definitely suggest. It was in a great location. After eating we were able to walk around and look at all the huge ships. read more

Belle's - Lobster Roll - Cafes Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

Disappointing. I dined alone. There was a relatively short wait but sat a couple before me. I assume it was because it was a 4 top instead of a 2. But not what you do. Single diners usually turn a table faster. Waitress was very sweet but food took longer than i expected and it was barely warm. I noticed couple next to me got food more quickly. Even 2nd cup Of tea took a long time. I was done by the time it came. The only reason for the 3 and not a 2 is because the waitress and i think meal would have been good if hot/warm. read more

Was looking for a fun brunch spot near Newport during our quick RI trip and Belles was the PERFECT start! We visited on a Monday afternoon and theres PLENTY of street parking! You walk through a ship yard and you'll see Belles by the tents! I HAD to order me a lobster roll. It was super fresh and flavorful, that bun was toasted perfectly, had a little crunch to it! Came with the freshest slaw as well! Lowkey regret not ordering 2! The Texas Style French Toast was perfect for sharing, 1 inch thickkk toasts served with a few pieces of fruits, butter and syrup! I only wished there was more fruits but the french toast itself was delicious! Overall the experience was perfect! Super friendly service, quick to serve and quality brunch! I'd 10000% come back especially during warmer season! read more

Best hash ever. Prepare to wait a very long time and if you leave to walk around, be certain to check in with the hostess and monitor where you are on the list. They sometimes lose track and mark you seated when you're still waiting. Been there several times and the food is always good. Izzy the server was excellent read more

Cool location, mediocre food. Came here because of the great rating and wanted a casual brunch, but wasnt very impressed with the food. FYI- The place is a cafeteria style serve and bus yourself kind of place I had the crab cake benedict, which was pretty below average. Maybe I'm spoiled by the crab cakes in Baltimore, but the English muffin was hard and flat and the egg was way overcooked. It didn't even run when I broke into it and was basically a poached hard boiled egg. The crab itself was okay. The boyfriend had the lobster roll, which was decent, but don't expect nice juicy big pieces. Nice buttery roll though. Potato salad a little bit of the firm and undercooked side, if you like that. Overall, mediocre food at vacation town prices. I was hoping this would be one of those local gems, but the experience was fairly disappointing. read more

Lunch at Belle's yesterday, the place not at all busy but of course we had to wait twenty minutes for a table... just because. "We're understaffed." Oh. Cuban sandwich never knew anything about Havana: thin and cold on lousy bread, one measly pickle chip, no mustard. Ham? Might have been. Most hilarious was the clueless waitress not able to tell the difference between macaroni salad versus cole slaw. Both were leftovers from earlier in the week and should have been tossed to the seagulls. But we put away a nameless bottle of Prosecco (no label given on the menu) so we came away bouncy - but still very hungry. Belle's is a big STAY AWAY. Oh, the Cuban sandwich cost me $15, with perhaps $1.50 worth of ingredients in it. read more

I went here for breakfast for the first time, and I was not disappointed. The pancakes were perfect, and my son got French toast that was thick and "stuffed" with whipped cream - he absolutely loved it. Lexi was our waitress, and she was wonderful. She was very polite and when we had a question about something on the menu she was on top of it. Belle's Cafe is a cute little place. It is definitely worth checking out. read more

I wish I took photos. This was a hidden gem, tucked away off the main road, through a marina. They had outdoor seating that is probably used in the warmer weather, but we went in November and we're seated quickly. When we left there were many more people who ordered take out and sat at the tables along the dock. The food was delicious. We ordered the Benedict, waffles for my son, and I got the tuna melt with cole slaw. Definitely going to head back soon. read more

Good area to enjoy breakfast at. it's in a boatyard so it was very cool to see the boats and sailboats in the yard. I got the avocado toast and added smoked salmon on top. the avocado was not freshly mashed. it was definitely from a container for 16$ was pretty ridiculous. the smoked salmon was delicious though. i also got chocolate chip pancakes that tasted like they were frozen then reheated. The waitress was a gem but the food was okay. read more

Great ambience sitting outside on the dock. You can bring your dog. The waitress was excellent. I ordered the cubano which I enjoyed. My husband ordered the crab cake benny. There was a hair under the potatoes. Not a huge deal. It was $20. But I really think the chefs need to wear hats or hair nets or something. read more

Always lovely food in a great atmosphere. Fresh air, beautiful boats all around. Lots of eye candy to go with the omelet. Please be patient with them. They are trying to manage with a slim staff pool in a Covid world. Insisting on privileges or cutting the line because you're "a local" as I witnessed this morning is not only obnoxious, but unhelpful. I'm a local and still have to wait my turn in line at the Dunkin; I expect the same at any restaurant. read more
