Lovely spot on the water with spot on service. We got the twin lobster rolls with Cole slaw and the Cobb salad with blackened shrimp. I would highly recommend both. The blackened shrimp was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The lobster was generous, chilled and lightly tossed in mayo. Will definitely be back on my next trip to Newport! read more

Popular spot amongst locals with a beautiful view of the water. There is a long wait for dine in, so most people opt for "take out". The locals say the restaurant has gotten a lot busier now that tourists know about it- oops! We waited at the waiting area filled with picnic tables and chairs for about 30 min for our order. We ordered the catch of the day sandwich and Belle's burger and were not disappointed. Everything tasted fresh. We ate at the picnic table and it honestly felt like a dine in experience without the service. We were just a few feet away from the actually dine in tables so we had the same views and ambiance. I can't speak for the service but I believe they were short on staff because it was outdoor dining only and even then- there were a few empty tables. The place was not filled to capacity. I would come back here the next time I'm in Newport and do the take out option again read more

Excellent breakfast and wonderful service. Would definitely go back. Plan on trying their lunch as well. Nice looking at the marina while dining read more

Delicious breakfast spot in newport harbor. It is very small cafe. Make sure to get in early as it gets packed and there will be a long wait for larger parties. I had the breakfast sandwich on the croissant; it was wonderful and soft. Food was very good but the wait was long. read more

Overall great experience! Nice outdoor seating (was really hot on the day we ate here but still enjoyed being on the dock). Staff were super nice. We came for lunch, arrived around 11:30 on a Monday, no wait. Did read the other reviews about a long wait, assuming worse for breakfast. Sandwiches we got were amazing. Wife had the turkey sandwich, real roasted turkey not cold cuts. I had the braised short rib French dip, it was super delicious. Another small detail that was great, the napkins have substance, can actually clean your hands and face with one napkin. If I lived in Newport would come here once a week to eat. read more

One of the best eggs Benedict I have eaten! Potatoes were so flavorful. Very much worth the wait. They serve fresh mimosas. Loved the little shop next to the restaurant . Coffee to go and a little shopping before being seated! read more

Stopped at this restaurant for lunch on a rainy Newport day. They were busy yet attentive. I was seated at the counter overlooking the water. Even in the rain it's lovely. I had the lox sandwich with an everything bagel. The sandwich was full of fresh red onion, cream cheese and lox. Also a surprise tomato. The service was great will definitely return. read more

Dog friendly brunch/ lunch spot. Dine by the marina with amazing views of the water. Be ready for long wait times to get a table. Many people avoid this by getting take out from their carry out window; however, if you do this you cannot eat the food on site they will kindly kick you out. read more

Well, this place was fabulous! We walked up to get a table and it was going to be a 20 mins wait... we were the only ones on the list! They were understaffed, which is understandable now a days (thanks Covid/Pandemic). The host said we could go and get something togo and then sit next to the water under an umbrella. That's exactly what we did. The harbor was had very pleasant ambiance and had nice fresh air. The food didn't take long at all, maybe 10 mins! Our Togo Lady, Heidi, was super helpful and friendly/patient (my mom is in her 70's). The food was hot, fresh, succulent, and flavorful! We ended up just slitting ONE Crab Cakes Benedict (came with two and a side of sautéed potatoes). It was lunch time and we didn't want to be lethargic afterwords. It was the PERFECT amount for what we wanted & only $30 (after tip) for two! You can never beat FRESH SEAFOOD read more

Walking over to the docks it was a challenge to find with the restaurant at the end of the pier with the limited signage. It was raining so maybe easier to locate on a sunny day. Upon entering staff was rude and seated us at a 2 seat table in the middle of the bustling dining room as opposed to a table along the wall (which there were several available). Server was pleasant but oddly wouldn't look at us -would speak while looking away. The coffee was flavorful and served piping hot but the espresso/latte machine was broken so limited to coffee and tea. Breakfast was delicious with the exception of the unimpressive luke warm potatoes/pan fries I didn't eat. Fresh eggs, ham, sourdough bread all delicious. Limited jellies (grape/strawberry) in small plastic package made by heinz. My daughter really enjoyed everything on her avocado toast meal. $47 seems steep for 2 coffees and 2 breakfast plates. Great little place off the beaten path but wish they were friendlier to their customers. read more

Belle's is basic AF and in a good way- I can see why all the micro influencers want to go there for breakfast. Its right in a Marina, and overlooks working docks, so the view isn't amazing but its decent. The food was pretty basic and the drinks were your usual brunch go to's, but the service of our waitress which I wish i can remember her name was top notch. She was just great and made the experience better. We would only be back if she was there and if we had something going on in Newport and needed breakfast. LOL We had a breakfast sandwich on croissant, mimosa, michelada and Ruben. All good. read more

Great little spot right on the water with awesome views. The staff are friendly and service is quick. I had the crab cakes Benedict and if I ever make it back to the area I would have them again! Delicious! read more

Delicious brunch food. Good portion sizes, fair prices, a fun experience. It is a bit hard to find as it is located at the Newport shipyards, but all in all a solid meal to start the day off right. The omelette is perfect, well, just about anything you order will be. It was fun to eat facing the water, and you get relatively fast service to go along with it so you can continue on with your day without as much as a hiccup. A thumbs up from me. read more

The most disrespectful restaurant experience. We were told a table would take 45 minutes and we weren't seated until 2 hours later! We went back and checked in and they said "sorry people are moving, we can't do anything about that". There was no apology. The food as average. The worst is that the waitress charged our card more than the tip. We called the restaurant and they never returned the call. I would never recommend a place that does not show common courtesy and then up chargers their customers. LOOK OUT, it's a lovely location with HORRIBLE service. read more

We dropped by Belle's at the suggestion of our trolley tour driver, Trolley Rob, as he said they have the best lobster roll in Newport. Not only was he right about the lobster roll, but they also have the best clam chowder. The lobster rolls have a lemon aioli that brings out the freshness of the meat & roll that's toasted perfectly. The clam chowder is so thick you can almost stand your spoon up in it & it's chock full of clams too. The ambiance is just want you want while eating a meal like this too as it's right on the water. We really enjoyed our meal! read more

Great spot for breakfast! I was within walking distance from our hotel and the walk there was very interesting as you're walking thru a ship yard with super gigantic cranes and boats of all sizes. My wife and I split the twin lobster rolls and we each had the clam chowder. All of it was very very good. I also had a cappuccino that woke me right up. My mom in law had a bacon omelette and my dad in law had a chorizo omelette- both enjoyed their food. I would very much recommend Belle's Cafe for their food and their view of the ship yard. Just remember that it is a seasonal restaurant as it appears to be completely outdoors so call ahead to make sure they're open and set up that reservation. read more

Had to wait approximately 30 mins for a party of 2 on a Sunday (and off season) but definitely worth the wait . Small, quaint location tucked in a shipyard . Ordered a speciality omelette and a chicken bacon ranch quesadilla . Neither of them disappointed . Loved that they didn't skimp on cheese or ingredients. read more

Our server was very nice and we had a great table next to the water and some boats. We ordered a special for today and it was eggs Benedict with a crab cake and let me tell you- it was incredible. If I could start my day like this everyday I'd be so happy. Easily the best breakfast I've had in my life. Highly recommend this spot! It's in a quieter location away from the popular areas. Parking close by. Highly recommend read more

I have been wanting to try Belle's for years....we fitness walk by the shipyard almost every day. Today was the day and I am super happy and will return! First of all who wouldn't want to hang out along the water surrounded by insane boats! Secondly the service was very friendly, thirdly and most important is the food....delicious! My hubs had the Cubano which he totally enjoyed and I had a salad with arugula and a good sized piece of chicken encrusted in panko. It's dog friendly if you own a pup. There's a small but nice comfy area for waiting. Can't wait to return. Glad we live nearby. read more

Best breakfast in Newport. Staff very friendly and food came quick. Check it out you won't be disappointed

Spent the weekend for the kite festival and decided to check this spot out as I saw it on a locals list of where to dine. Belle's did not disappoint! We got to check out the very very cool yachts and boats but more importantly we had a fantastic breakfast! The wacky waffles were to die for. I had a special of a French toast panini but it was stuffed with Brie, strawberries and bananas and holy crap, wow. My husband had the avocado toast with sunny side up eggs and I was mad cause I didn't even get to try it because he inhaled it. Service was outstanding, don't be put off for the wait, it was worth it. And mimosas that are fresh always taste better on the water. The vibe is chill and what I loved was I didn't feel rushed at all. 10/10 read more

Came for brunch on a Saturday - recommend their crab Benedict and tuna melt. Never in my life have I seen bacon in the latter. Heaven. Indoor and outdoor seating available but highly recommend the table with dockside breeze. There was an hour-long wait but they've got plenty of seats available to relax on. read more

This was our first stop when visiting Rhode Island and I was so impressed. It's located in a shipyard which was really neat and something very different from what I'm used to. The staff was friendly and the food was fantastic. I would definitely consider this to be an excellent spot to pick for breakfast/ brunch. I ordered a simple egg, toast and breakfast potatoes dish along with the French toast. It was all so delicious! read more

Kelsey, our waitress was amazing! Very friendly and courteous. A stunning nautical theme, beautiful views. A light walk from parking on the side street. I had the lobster roll with a side of cucumber tomato salad in a vinaigrette with feta. It was sheer perfection and a delight for the taste buds. My friend truly enjoyed her New England clam chowder & I tried a bite. It was very flavorful and creamy. She also enjoyed her Caesar salad which was a large portion. You must stop at the little gift store next to and connecting with. read more

I thought this place was just average breakfast. Absolutely beautiful setting and great service. I had the daily hash which was about 5% meat and 95% potatoes. read more

Breakfast food was AMAZING. it was pretty chilly when we went so no outside seating. I would love to come back when it's warm and sit out on the dock. Also, it's a bit hard to find so you will need to park and walk to what looks like a harbor/boat place. Just follow the signs! read more

Ever been to one of those places that should be fun and friendly, but the staff seems to compete to be the most aloof? This is it. Breakfast was fine, but just fine. We were surprised that the wait was 45 minutes. We attribute this 50% to ALL patrons being tourists (hell, we didn't know better!) and 50% being that the cooking AND service was so aloof and slow that they could surely turn almost double the number of patrons if someone at the place gave a "f". Not a do again. read more

A lobster roll how it should be. Lobster on a buttered, grilled New England hot dog roll. I keep trying lobster rolls near and far only to be disappointed time and again. This was not one of those times. Nice location on the water behind the boats in dry dock. Pretty outside seating area. Lovely serving person. She was nice and understood the need for the right bun. No fancy brioche baloney. Coming back when I need another lobster roll fix. They just need to fix the flat soda dispenser read more

We came here for one thing only: Lobster Rolls! Their lobster rolls were very moist, flavorful, and only $25! We did wait over 30 minutes to grab a table, but it was well worth it! read more

Belle's at Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard - Lobster Roll - Cafes Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

Placed a take out order at the window for 4 sandwiches. Said it would take a 1/2 hr. After waiting the 1/2 hr a staff worker came over to tell us they had no more corn-beef for the ruben and should have told us that when we placed the order. We said fine, replace it with turkey. We thought we would get our food shortly after that, we then had to wait 25 more minutes for our order. Food was definitely not worth the price or wait. The sandwich replaced with the turkey ruben was just turkey and toasted bread-no sauce or cheese on it. My lobster roll was nothing special and not worth the price. No apologies from the staff. Definitely won't be back and do not recommend takeout. read more

The vibe and staff were great. I order the pancakes, which were delicious but unfortunately undercooked (gooey in middle)

Belles cafe is on a working boat dock with all outside seating. Monday at 10:30am was a 30 minute wait. Went for breakfast, but ended up having a mix of brunch. Food was very good and the service matched. I'm addition to our own meals we split an order of pancakes because we hear they had the "worlds best pancakes". I don't know about that, but they were outstanding. We will visit again. As a side note, I had my first authentic lobster roll. It will also be my last as I broke out in a rash with hives all over my body. After 2 Benadryl from a newly purchased $16 box, I was fine. read more

I can't say enough good Things about Belles. This off the beaten path spot is one of my favorite secrets to Newport. I bring my kids there often during Covid and they loved looking at the big ships. Three years later and we still go. The staff is polite and attentive. The food is delicious and they have a kids menu and mimosas. Win win for mom if I am walking then in the jogger and not driving. This is one of my favorite secret spots in Newport that I don't tell many people about :) Once you go you'll always be back read more

This is seriously a must for breakfast/lunch while in Newport! From great service to delicious food, you can't go wrong here. We had made a reservation since it is Covid time and we got seated quickly. Our waitress came over and got us waters and coffee. They even had iced coffee which was great on this humid day. It was our last morning in Newport and the food couldn't have been any better. The salmon I had atop their salad greens was perfectly cooked and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his Crabcakes Benedict. Also had a pancake and it was really nice and fluffy! Plus it is really cool setting! read more
