Reviews for Belle Harlem in New York, NY
Fantastic, intimate dining experience in the heart of Harlem. We were so lucky to share our meal with other wonderful and... interesting guests, a truly unique experience. We loved the foie gras macaron, cod with merguez, and braised pork cheek. Producefrom the farmer's market compliments a seven course progressive menu. Finally, the eclectic wine list is also fantastic. Read more
A thrilling dinner in the most intimate surroundings possible. Belle Harlem brings a la carte dining to a chef's table... experience, safe in the knowledge that chef is not distracted by the rest of the restaurant. Excellent, imaginative food, and awell- chosen compact menu that suggests the options change regularly to more with the seasons ...and what's good right now. Wechose nearly everything on the menu, and everything delighted our party of three. Definitely worth the short ride on the 2 or 3line from mid town. If you're left wondering, what other jewels are there in Harlem, the answer is: plenty! Though Belle isdefinitely one of the best... TAKE 2: A quick update - I sent back to Belle Harlem earlier this week... Everyone once in awhile you have a fabulous experience, but it turns out to be a one dinner wonder. Very happy to say, not Belle Harlem! Anotherfabulous dinner, which delighted both me and my guest from the UK. And it reminded me that one thing I missed above was tocomment on the people behind the restaurant. Chef Darryl Burnette and his partner Melissa are wonderful warm hosts, making fora fabulous evening. Highly recommended! Read more

Belle Harlem is a lovely single-table restaurant in a little nook next to Harlem Nights. You'll be eating literally inside the... kitchen, so you'll be able to watch everything being made. The owners are a wonderful couple that live and breathe BelleHarlem, and they're super friendly. Great date location or nice night out for a small group. Reservations absolutelynecessary! You can check on opentable or call the restaurant directly. Good wine selection, and creative soul-inspired dishes. Go for the grilled asparagus with crab (surprisingly generous with the crab), the chicken and waffles (with a light jalapenomarmalade sauce). I didn't end up getting it, but the filet mignon dishes looked delicious. Portions are not huge, but asmentioned, the dishes don't skimp on the good stuff in favor of filler ingredients. I was expecting to see the crustini withonly a tiny bit of filet - I was pleasantly surprised to see the meat stacked on top! Read more
12 seats restaurant providing unique experience. Great food, really great. One waiter, one cook, and 2 owners- beautiful couple-... chief and hostess. The room is small so smell of cooking food and some smoke is should be expected. Read more

Such a unique and exceptional dining experience. It feels like one is being served a gourmet meal at a private dinner party.... Every course was well thought out and full of flavor. The presentation was truly appealing. I look forward to returning. Read more
