The owner/mixologist is super cool too. There's tons of space, seating (sunny & shaded), flowers, and lawn games! There's speciality cocktails & hot dogs you can order from the cocktail mobile truck. We tried their: -Flight Path cocktail (4/5, fun, fruity & will get you tipsy!) -Huli Huli hotdog (loved the pineapple salsa on the hot dog, just wishes the portion size was bigger!)

When my wife and I were going to be making a random stop in Belleville for a couple nights, I did…read moremy thing and looked up what to do and eat while in town. I'm from an even smaller town, so I'm used to short lists for those things, but I was glad when I randomly came across The Lark. It wasn't on one of the review sites or a travel blog, but just simply perusing the downtown landscape on Google Maps. Their space on Bridge Street is airy and spacious, but the small footprint keeps things intimate, with a stunning bar that beckons to slake your thirst. Although the restaurant's name isn't on-the-nose Italian, the menu is very much so. With a handful each of primi, secondi and dolci, chances are that you won't suffer from choice paralysis while ordering, but what they have is nonetheless quite enticing. Burrata is always an easy choice, especially at a restaurant like The Lark where you know you're going to get good quality cheese and accoutrements. They didn't disappoint! The milky, semi-solid cheese paired well with tender hunks of sweet butternut squash and the crisp savouriness of fried sage. Pomegranate seeds and hazelnuts brought some sweetness and crunch, while house-made sourdough was good enough to be eaten on its own. For my main, I went with the beef cheek pappardelle. The succulent shreds of cheek took the place of ground beef in the rich Bolognese, and my taste buds were all the better for it. The fresh pappardelle was luxuriously tender, with its delicate folds sopping up all that delicious sauce. Rounded out with parm and basil, it shows that you don't have to recreate the wheel to make an excellent dish. My wife's brown butter gnocchi was no slouch either, with a decadent cream sauce, and nice hint of char to the lovely and light pasta pillows. Not to be beaten, the apple cobbler was absolutely amazing. Definitely sized for two, but no judgment if you solo it, every part was fall dessert perfection. Service was wonderfully knowledgeable on the food and drink side, as well as friendly and easygoing. I was getting strong owner-vibes, but I'm too lazy to do the amount of Googling required for a confirm. The Lark is getting done dirty by the algorithm on the major review sites and if they won't loudly announce their possession of the title as "best restaurant in Belleville", I sure will.

My favourite place in all of Belleville! The food is amazing as are the cocktails. There's a good…read morevariety to choose from for different tastes. I've gone back again since my first time visiting to try a few more things. The Beef Cheek Pappardelle was my overall favourite, but the Beef short rib was a close second. It's a cute little spot in downtown Belleville with a nice ambience. There's lots of street parking available nearby or there's a big lot that's very walkable. Service was great, we even got the bartenders choice for the drinks and it was really well done. If you're ever in the Belleville area and are looking for a spot to have dinner, this is definitely the place.

Got takeout, but still enjoyed our meal a lot. We got the jamon croquette, octopus appetizer and…read moreseafood paella. All were delicious! The croquette was perfectly crunchy on the outside and smooth on the inside. It was a lot better than other croquettes I've had in Canada. The octopus was also really good, it was perfectly flavoured and the texture was not too chewy. The star of the show was the paella. The paella was super good, a little on the saltier side. The mussels were delicious, but it was a bit sandy inside, I felt it could be cleaned a bit better. Overall love this restaurant and would come back!

Bocado is a wonderful Spanish tapas restaurant in the heart of downtown Picton and Prince Edward…read moreCounty. I booked this place for my 12 year wedding anniversary. I recommend making a reservation to avoid disappointment. We were early for our reservation and the hostess was able to give us a table. There are 2 dining rooms with different themes. The front room has a beautiful bar beside the open air kitchen. The dining area has a nice bright rustic ambiance. Definitely, a great place for date night. The rear dining room has a lounge feel. The light is dimmed and tables have candlelights. There's nice lounge music playing here as well. Now for the food. The menu is divided into 3 sections: Tapas del bar - small dishes to share and sample some curated Spanish delicacies. Grande provides a selection of main course entrees. Paella is a Valencian rice dish that is great for sharing and served on a large cast iron skillet. We ordered the jamon croquetas. The croquetas were served with pickles and garlic aioli. They are delicate and packed with flavor. The second tapas we ordered was the Albacore tuna served with bulgur cracker. The dish was esthetically pleasing and we really enjoying the green liquid sauce. Very impressive dish. For our main we decided to share the seafood paella which consisted of Argentina red shrimps, organic salmon, and mussels. The rice was flavorful and we love the crispy rice on the bottom of the skillet. This dish checked all the boxes in flavor, presentation, and texture. We finished our meal with the grand finale: Spanish Churro. This is not your regular churro. This was shaped like a cinamon bun and you have two delightful dipping sauces - dolce de leche and dark chocolate. This was by far the best churro I've ever had. Overall, the experience was exceptional and I recommend this place if yoi are looking to try some elevated Spanish cuisine. The server was attentive and provided advice on how to eat each dish. The prices are on the higher-end so plan on spending about $50-$75 per person.

If youre looking for a sificated man cave this is the place. Lady food got a fish taco, which were bomb, lady food did not eat the whole thing as she hates food consumption but was pleasantly surprised.

Instead of lobster, the dish was made with imitation crab. The waitress denied it. As an avid lobster enjoyer, this was straight up imitation crab. I am not sure why they are trying to cover it up by denying the use to paying customers. If it says lobster and is an $11 soup, I expect chunks of real lobster. The soup contained stringy unchewable pieces of stewed imitation crab. Would not recommend this place, untruthful about their ingredients.

They've pivoted their business a bit (assuming due to the panorama lol) and now are more of a market inside with lots of local, housemade fresh and frozen food offerings to choose from. You can also grab beer and wine to go as well here. The espresso based coffee here is great and so are their sandwiches as well. I've tried their breakky sam with ham, egg and aioli - delish. Their muffaleta sandwich on freshly baked foccacia was also super tasty (and ginormous!). If you stop in, be sure to get some of their housemade chocolate chip cookies - they are so darn good. Seriously top 3 cookies of all time in my books. See you next time, Bloomfield Public House!
