Best lunch salad carry out "the Cleveland." Staff very friendly will be back when I can sit and have lunch with friends. Impressive menu!

I live a mile away from here and am ashamed it took me a year and a half to finally get around to coming in. To make up for it, my second visit was just one week later, and I expect to come back many times in the future. I took some out of town friends here for Sunday brunch before they headed out of town. When we got there at 9am there was only one other patron seated, but the place filled up by the time we finished. Upon entering we noticed the cozy atmosphere and selected one of the window seat tables for optimum snowfall and people watching. Everyone really enjoyed their dishes and was pleased with the price points (about $8-10). I was surprised at how much was on the menu. My personal recommendation is the Turkey Conquistador. The service was on the slow side but we weren't in a hurry at all. The server offered to split our checks right at the start, which is always appreciated. Loved the cuckoo clock! read more

I had the goetta grilled cheese sandwich, and oh my gawd was that the right choice! Everything about it was perfect. It was one of those sandwiches that is rarely returned to the plate for a rest because it's so darn good! The potatoes that were served with it were outstanding--perfectly seasoned and cooked. Paul had the Hawaiian Bake. He liked it but felt that something (a sauce of some kind; it was dry) was missing. Because I read the Yelp reviews prior to our visit, I was aware that service might be an issue.. We waited for about 10 minutes for a seat, which is ordinarily no problem, but because the place is so small, there is no place to stand and wait without feeling awkward. There's really nothing that can be do about this, as they only have so much space with which to work. Service was friendly but slightly disjointed. When our served tried to deliver another table's drink order, I was afraid we were in for bigger problems later. Thankfully this was not the case. It took forever and a day for our order to arrive, but the food more than made up for it. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and are likely to return. read more

This charming little bistro's menu changes every three weeks, which I think allows the chef to make use of in-season produce. On our first visit, my bf and I wanted something light, so we ordered two apps (calamari and lettuce wraps) and two house salads. We were the only two people there (it was still pretty early) but we were a little surprised that it took a fairly long time until our food appeared. The breading on the calamari wasn't as crisp as I'd hoped, but the sweet chili dipping sauce made the dish acceptable. However, the lettuce wraps were very good and freshly made with big chunks of chicken breast nestled in wedges of iceburg lettuce. Our salads were also super-fresh and were comprised of a bed of field greens, red pepper rings, delicious roma tomatoes (my bf commented how good they were and he never eats tomatoes) along with a side of balsamic vinaigrette. In addition to the better-than-average food, I was impressed with the artwork and handy-crafts on display by local artisans. The art was very reasonably priced, which would explain why many were already sold. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I just ordered lunch for our department (12 orders) and it was so easy and organized and every order was exactly was perfect! So glad I got to introduce more people to this restaurant. The bread is to die for and the portion sizes are no joke. I love this place and recommend it regularly. read more

We had a good and sumptuous Sunday brunch at Bellevue Bistro. We walked in around 1:15 pm after Sunday mass. The place was busy but appeared winding down with a couple of available tables. We got seated at a spot my wife usually likes - window area. Our server seemed rushed, gave us recommendations and served our beverages. The coffee had a good body and aroma. We ordered their "Breakfast Bakes" - the Bellevue, the Sweet Potato and the Hawaiian. They were served in a good sized, hot skillet sizzling straight from the oven. Caution! Very hot! I had the Bellevue which had goetta on top of two eggs, on top of cheese, potatoes and onions. It was really good. My wife enjoyed her Sweet Potato and my son enjoyed his Hawaiian. They said they were both great. Breakfast doesn't take long to woof down so we were done and out of the door by 2 pm. Wow! That was a quick, enjoyable and sumptuous brunch. We will certainly be back to try their Benedicts that Yelpers have bee ravin about. read more

Cute and cozy little breakfast and lunch cafe. I liked it, my husband LOVES it. For weekend brunch, I am NOT a latte-and-scone kind of girl, I want a big, flavorful breakfast that I can really hunker down and and get lost in. I was initially a little disappointed in the coffee-shop atmosphere, but my low expectations were unfounded since Bellevue Bistro serves up HEARTY, fresh-tasting plates of hot, reasonably-priced food. (Again, the place is small with two-tops and one unisex restroom, so definitely not an ideal spot for large groups). I debated between several options on the pertly imaginative menu and settled on the Spicy Potato Hash Cake, add bacon. My husband ordered the Goetta Grilled Cheese, and we both had coffee - which was very good. Service was friendly enough and adequate. The place wasn't busy on Sunday morning, so our food arrived pretty quickly. My husband described mine as looking like "a pizza omelette", which was pretty accurate: a huge portion of piping hot, chunky potato hash, smothered in melty-browned cheese with a dollop of cucumber pico de gallo. I liked it but didn't love it. The cheese was perfectly stringy with chewy golden edges (I picked and ate it all, yum). However the potato layer was under-seasoned; I was disappointed in the "add bacon" part - almost unnoticeable pinkish bits speckled throughout that added nothing by way of flavor or texture and only to the bill...suspiciously like "imitation bacon-flavored salad bits" (those things are of the devil). The dish wasn't spicy at all, and while the pico de gallo was fresh, I wasn't a fan of how sweet it was. My husband loved his crispy Goetta grilled cheese sandwich, and appreciated that the potatoes were real honest-to-God spuds (he has never recovered from Mokka's disgusting deep-fried cubes of frozen atrocities). The bacon jam tasted like raspberry preserves - we didn't understand the hype around it. Neither of us were able to finish the generous portions. The check was reasonable for the amount served: 2 coffees and 2 entrees for about $23, before tip. BB wouldn't be my top choice for my weekend cheat treats, but I definitely don't have a problem returning if the husband joneses for that breakfast sammich again. read more

Cute little bistro but the food was just ok. Ingredients were fresh but tasted like something I could have thrown together from my fridge with minimal effort. Nothing on the menu really caught my eye. I had the Veggie Stack Sandwich. It wasn't bad but not inspired either. The "Mimosas" are made with beer products since they don't have a wine license. They were very meh. The menu definitely does not explain this and it's a bit misleading. I would go again if someone else really wanted to but I wouldn't recommend it myself. read more

What a sweet little treat in the heart of Bellevue! I didn't know this place was even here until my friend asked me to meet her there for lunch one day. They have lots of classic lunch-y options to choose from. Wraps/sandwiches/salads/etc. They're not fancy, but they're classic and that's all you need in a lunch spot. This is one of those places that's got that super small, local mom & pop feel - mixed with a creative edge, as they double as a local artist gallery to purchase artwork if you please. The adult beverages menu is limited, but it has heart. I won't hold that against them. read more

We were exploring the area and stopped in here for lunch. It was a quiet time so service was fast. The space is nice, and I liked the local art on the walls. I just have to say that the goetta grilled cheese sandwich is the most amazing goetta grilled cheese sandwich I have ever had. I've had them a few places, but this one was astounding. The bacon jam was also interesting/pleasing, and the potatoes were nicely spiced though the flavor wasn't entirely evenly distributed. Overall would absolutely recommend and will hopefully get to go back. read more

Goetta Bellevue Breakfast Bake is the bomb! We had a group of 6 at lunch and they made sure we got seated, quickly served, and super full! Portions are huge! A sizzling platter of potatoes, eggs, cheese and of course goetta!! Super friendly, super clean and cute place playing 80's tunes at lunch - what more can you ask for! Look forward to stopping back in soon for more great menu items to try! read more

Great place! I had the spicy potato hash cake which was a large portion of spiced red potatoes covered with scrambled eggs, onions, peppers, and a thick layer of cheese. So tasty! It was the perfect amount of spice. Portion size was huge. It's a small place but we got there around 9:30 and it wasn't too crowded, didn't wait. The menu is different compared to other breakfast options in the area and I had a hard time picking what I wanted with so many enticing options. Service was great considering one was gal managing all the tables and cash register. Easily 5 stars. read more

Bellevue Bistro - Cute little storefront in Bellevue - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bellevue, Kentucky

Unfortunately, this was probably the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. First, the woman who brought us menus did not greet or speak to us. When asked what was the most popular order she just shrugged and asked someone else. My friend ordered a cappuccino and the server again had to ask someone if they could make one. When they brought it over, it was not a cappuccino...we later found out it was a warmed up bottled cold "cappuccino". Yikes. Then it took over 45 minutes for our food to come although other tables came way after us and were served a lot quicker. The food was decent (except the French toast was actually pretty good). The service though was atrocious and I can't believe they are in business. They desperately need new management or ownership. read more

If you have 3 hours to wait for a sandwich in an empty restaurant, this is the place for you. Service was terrible.

This place was unbelievable! I've never experienced such kindness and hospitality out of a restaurant. My food was one of the Top 10 breakfast dishes I've ever had! I can't wait to go back and try another one of their dishes. read more

What a quaint place and food and service...awesome!! The snow falling outside just made it the perfect start to our Saturday! No issues cleaning plates. We will definitely be back. read more

Chose to eat at BB because of many positive reviews...and wow, were they right!!! The food was incredible, perfectly seasoned, balanced, and delicious. We both chose the Mediterranean Breakfast Bake which was a huge portion, but sat lightly & tasted incredible. The service was phenomenal and I can't wait to try more of their offerings!!! Highly recommend!! read more

So as you can see there are no stars since we received nothing at this establishment. My husband and I waited for our order while three servers stood behind the bar for 25 min. The server that took our order came over and stated that she needed to put our order in again since the "paper ran out in the kitchen order machine". Meanwhile we had waited 10 min for a table and 25min for food that never came. She however had food come out and was eating at the bar. We have never visited this establishment before but sadly I will not be back. The lack of awareness by the servers that we were the only customers left without food may have been their first clue but none of them were aware enough to notice. I have never written a review on Yelp but felt this needed to be shared. There are so many deserving businesses that should be visited this is not one of them.' read more

I got really poor service from Kira. Everyone else there was great. It's kind of pricey, which I expected, but I didn't expect to be treated rudely. I won't be going back. There are too many other restaurants in Bellevue, with great service and great food. It was a bad way to start a Saturday morning. read more

A very small, rustic like atmosphere. The food didn't really come out in a hurry, and it was a very busy place as there isn't much seating. I had a geotta grilled cheese sandwich and it would probably be absolutely to die for if I was hungover but I was just looking to try a new breakfast place and I wasn't too impressed with it. It was just kind of bland, BUT that's because I hate bacon and they make this homemade bacon jam that I can definitely see why people lovvve love that sandwich. If I added that to it, I am sure I would have enjoyed it much more! read more

This place is delicious! If you're looking for brunch in Northern Kentucky, especially during the week, this is the place to be. They serve brunch 7 days a week, and that is tough to find in this area. They also have a pretty great lunch menu, but brunch is where the most delicious menu items are. Unfortunately, brunch is only served until 11am on the weekdays, but you can order it until 2pm on weekends. You are seriously missing out if you've never tried their goetta sandwich. In fact, my friends and I have turned "goetta sandwich" into an adjective describing anything wonderful, thanks to Bellevue Bistro changing our taste buds forever. Their skillet potatoes are the best I've ever tasted. And you can also order these with lunch instead of chips! If you're there for lunch, I'd recommend the tuna asparagus salad. I'm really not a salad person, but this is one of my favorite meals ever. The breakfast salad is pretty awesome too. They're both hearty enough to be a meal instead of just a side salad. Basically what this review comes down to, is that you really need to go to Bellevue Bistro. It's important. read more

It pains me to write this review. I'm a big proponent of Bellevue. Heck, I live there so why not? I use to hit the Bistro all the time under prior owners. It was a great coffee shop. Regulars gathered in the morning. There was always a guy quietly playing guitar. But that owner sold it to her son I think who then sold it to some guy that the last time I was there was decked out in sports regalia, playing music too loud, and offered just plain bad service. But that was then and today I thought I'd give it another chance. I had a meeting and the other guy suggested the Bistro. Sure I said. Why not? The meeting was set for 8. I showed up at 7:55 and while the OPEN sign was lite the door was locked. The sign said they opened at 8. I peered inside. Dark. So even if they did open at 8 would they be able to serve us, I thought. Isn't 8 a bit late for a morning place on a weekday? So I texted my guy to meet at the place across the street. I'll review that later. As I sat down I did see people heading into the Bellevue Bistro. But mostly what I saw was a Pabst Blue Ribbon sign on the window. How's this fit? A breakfast place with a beer sign? It doesn't. It's cheesy. I'm guessing free from a beer seller. Also, it makes Bellevue's main street look crappy to have a neon beer sign up in a place that isn't even a bar. Is it fair to review I place I didn't get into? Maybe not. The food may be great. The service may be great, but I won't be heading back anytime soon. read more

I've heard great things about this local brunch spot and was excited to try it with my husband. Needless to say, I don't think we'll be back. I ordered the Brie Grilled Cheese. It sounded yummy in the description: Brie, green apples, bacon on French bread. I guess in my imagination I pictured a warm, toasty, melty grilled cheese. I was sorely disappointed when I received a massive cold french loaf, a tiny bit of barely warm Brie, a couple of apple slices and what appeared to be microwaved bacon strips. It was barely edible, I took the top half of bread off and tried it open faced. Still not worth eating. I wouldn't write off a restaurant based on one dish. Everyone has different tastes. However, I tried several bites of my husbands Chicken Chiquilles and while at least they were warm, they were still lacking any wow factor. The one positive note was the coffee. It was delicious. If we decide to give BB another try, I'll have coffee and maybe try one of the sweet breakfast options. read more

This is my favorite brunch place in Cincinnati. The food is amazing and well priced. It is a small cafe that seats about 25 people, so on the weekends you may have to wait for a table. The atmosphere is cozy and quaint, and the staff is always friendly. I originally discovered this place after trying to go to Virgil's for brunch on a Saturday (they weren't open), and Bellevue Bistro is now hands down my favorite place for brunch. I usually get the surf and turf bake - it is AMAZING and the portions are really big (which could be a pro or a con), but everything I've had on the menu is fabulous. The prices are great with most breakfast items between $6 - $9. Another plus for me is that they have Highland Grogg coffe (my favorite) which I believe is roasted locally. Everything about this place is great - I've been coming for a few years now and I love it! read more

My goal is to try everything on Bellevue Bistro's menu :) Weekend brunch is my favorite meal of the week and this place over delivers. Each hearty breakfast meal will leave you full for the rest of the day at the right value. One of my favorites is the pb&j French toast with bacon jam and skillet potatoes. #todiefor Support local businesses and give Bellevue Bistro a try! read more

If you're scratching your head thinking the pictures of the breakfast bakes don't look particularly appetizing, you are right. Food looks and tastes mediocre. Came here with a friend to try a new brunch place. Small cafe on a cute, historic street. They take their fine time preparing the food and what comes out is nothing special. I got the Mediterranean breakfast bake, and he got one of the benedicts, which aren't your typical "benedicts": the egg is fried, not poached. My skillet was a jumble of potatoes, a huge slab of two fried eggs, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, basil (supposedly) and red onions with mozzarella and feta (somewhere in there). I tried (but couldn't) ignore the gigantic chunk of potato and other bits and pieces of more... potato. Hot, ugly mess that a half-asleep college kid could throw together. If there's ever a next time, I'll try the PB&J French Toast. Prices are cheap and worth checking out if you're curious, but I wouldn't roll out of bed to come here again. read more

Their butterscotch coffee was good without cream or sugar. That's when you know. Also my group tried a bit of everyone's- so while I got the Veggie Bake (winner), the French toast and Goetta Grilled Cheese were also must-have's! read more

Bellevue Bistro has some good things going for it...and some bad. The boyfriend and I arrived on a Saturday around 10:15. Almost all the seats were filled--only one or two were open. We had to asked to be seated, which I'm never a big fan of. But the waitress cleaned off our table quickly and we were ready to go. And then we waited. And waited. About 10 minutes later, after helping almost every other table in the small restaurant, the waitress returned. She did apologize for the wait and it was clear she was the only waitress. But later on during our meal three additional waitresses came in and our service never improved. Others who had arrived long after us had their food before us, and our check would never have arrived without us asking for it. On the plus side, their food is great. I had a spicy potato scramble and the boyfriend had a turkey conquistador bake (his was much better--definitely go for a skillet bake). Both were hot, and the portions were large. My presentation was a little lacking, but that's not a huge problem in my book. The coffee is outstanding! And the prices are perfect. I'd head back to Bellevue Bistro just to try some of their other food choices. Honestly, all their options sound amazing. I'll just hope the service this time was a one-time-thing. read more

Bellevue Bistro is a great breakfast/brunch option in Northern Kentucky. Just a short drive from Newport on the Levy I honestly hadn't seen much of Bellevue before going here. The area is full of local charm. Bellevue Bistro is known for their "Breakfast Bakes." They are served on a personal skillet on a bed of potatoes and two fried eggs. There are all sorts of flavor options. My favorite is the Turkey Conquistador. It combines all my favorite flavors! Sun dried tomatoes? Check! Turkey? Check! Goat Cheese? Check! I've also had some of their Benedict options which are also amazing and flavorful. Bellevue Bistro also has a brunch cocktail menu, beer list, and they usually have Highlander Grogg as a coffee option which is my all time fave. When I'm looking for a hearty brunch Bellevue Bistro is my top choice! read more

I used to frequent Bellevue Bistro a lot under its previous owners. It had great food, great coffee and a very nice atmosphere. Since changing owners, I've been back twice. The first time I think was shortly after the change because it wasn't very well organized and the service was kind of slow. Additionally, the tomato basil soup my mom ordered had been peppered like 20 times or something because it was so spicy she practically coughed up a lung. The second time, my husband and I went there for an early lunch and the experience was much better. The menu is actually pretty much the same from the previous owners. The food tastes a little better, though. As an added bonus, the current owner loves Star Wars so there is a lot of Star Wars memorabilia around - some of which is like a scavenger hunt to find, so that is fun to do while waiting for your order. I'm very happy that there doesn't seem to be a price change at all - every little Main Street area needs a middle-of-the-road cafe with good food and Bellevue Bistro fits that bill really nicely. It isn't pretentious, it has good food and it's a pretty relaxing time as well. On top of that, free wifi! read more

Went there last Friday because a friend's art is there for the month, they always have local artist's work hanging that you can buy which is cool. I got a Schlafly for 3.75, and they had many other great beers for that price so no complaints there. To eat I ordered the Cape Cod Reuben, which sounded a bit weird, but oh man did I make the right choice. The cut of Salmon was nice and big and prepared right, topped with hearty asian cole slaw and on a good pretzel bun (and of course 1000 island). There was a little acoustic act in the corner and the atmosphere was good. If you're looking for a small local coffee shop with good food and beer, this is your place! read more

This is a great place to start a Monday morning. The street parking was very convenient. The restaurant is very bright and spacious. The food was very good and the server was friendly and attentive. The Bellevue is a hearty cheese covered entre with sausage and bacon. Although it was not really what we ordered it was delicious. The Goetta Grilled Cheese that my dad ordered is a unique and tasty entre also. The decor is colorful and fun. I want to return here again. read more

The bakes are out of this world. We got here about 10 on a Saturday morning, no wait but it quickly filled up with brunchers and there was a wait when we left. Back to the bakes though! So much food, you could easily split it with someone you're fond of, if you're feeling generous! The Kentucky hot brown is what I had, my sister got the veggie. Either way, with the biscuits or the potatoes is amazing so don't be afraid to try both. We just moved to the neighborhood and are so happy to have this gem just right down the street! read more

I've heard of some talk of this restaurant but have yet to finally go. Well I finally did and it was definitely worth the jump to try it! Now it was a Wednesday morning so it wasn't busy but the place is small and I could see it getting busy on weekends. Server was great and attentive. My mom ordered the Surf and Turf Egg Bake and I got the Goetta Grilled Cheese. Surf and Turf was similar to an omelet and included bacon, crab, and avocado. My mom said it was delicious. My goetta grilled cheese was delish too and came with a grilled egg and a side of potatoes. It also had their own bacon jam, which I'm told people put on the sandwich. I passed but it would be great on just toast. Overall we spent 25 bucks with a coke and oj, food was yummy, and we had plenty of leftovers. We will be back! read more

Not good at all. Don't do it. Food was wrong. Fried eggs should still have a runny yolk. A pretzel bun sandwich should come on a pretzel bun. Coffee should taste like real coffee not coffee concentrate (which was what we were told it was). Hollandaise is not served cold. Service was not good. 2 sets of silverware is not enough for 3 people. Once ordered beverages like coffee arrive and don't need to be asked for again. Biscuits (2) asked for on the side should not need to asked for and then delivered (1). Seemed like we were annoying the waitresses like serving the guests wasn't their job. I'm all for giving the little and new a guy a chance but I will not be returning. First Watch is significantl better than this place. read more

I've been eating at the Bellevue Bistro since its inception several years ago. It's been through quite a few ownership changes, and unfortunately, the only thing that seems to be consistent with these changes, is mediocre service. The food: it was just ok. The menu looked enticing, lots of options, all things that I eat and would love to eat to get out of the "lunch meat sandwich" options around the courthouse, but my order, the Tuna Asparagus salad was just....odd. The portion was lovely, but there was a flavor...can't place it--maybe tarragon(?) that was just totally overwhelming and made the dish almost unbearable. Also, the "warm" and "cold" thing was offputting. I kept trying, but sadly, couldn't finish my lunch. The service was really chaotic--one server, who seemed to be frantic, but really, there weren't that many people. She was rushed when speaking to me, rushed when taking my order, rushed when giving me my food, but couldn't be found when I wanted to get my check and pay....then, when I did, couldn't figure out how to make the receipt tape work. read more

Cute little place in Bellevue that serves breakfast, lunch and brunch. I've been a few times and have always been happy, but today I met 2 others for lunch and none of us were very pleased. We all got salads - I got the Cleveland, one had the chicken salad, and the other had the salmon salad. Mine was ok, not great, but the salmon salad looked terrible. My friend who got it said it wasn't good at all. There were cooked potatoes on the salad which I thought was odd and the salmon was not pink... it was more white? I tasted it and it didn't taste or even look like salmon. I'm really not sure what kind of fish it was. My friend didn't eat much of it at all and the server didn't ask her how it was or anything. I am a Bellevue resident and love supporting the local businesses, but their salads need a little bit of help. read more
