Went for brunch to Beau Rivage Restaurant at Newstead in sep 2017,
the selection was very poor, presentation was ok, but quality was not even close to what you'd expect from the kitchen of an MOF.
-The bread rolls looked old and wrinkled, just like the ones forgotten in the freezer for a while.
-The appetizer side of the buffet had some leek mini tarts that looked like some leftovers from the night before, but definitely not made specially for this brunch.
- There was a duck confit salad that had big pieces of the skin , for those who don't know, the skin is very fatty and if not crisped up, it would be unpleasant. And that soft skin was in the salad, just ruined it.
- There were no cold cuts. Even the cheapest buffet in bda offers cold cuts, this one had only smoked salmon, but no sour cream ( creme fraiche) or cream cheese , no brown bread.
- The sushis were ok, but not one single item is kept on ice, sitting out for hours, raw fish, crab meat, shrimps.
- The cheese platter looked very small and had only 3 varieties and they were already sliced, Brie slices stuck together, fun times. no garnish, just a few STALE crackers. Shame.
-The hot selection was even poorer, wahoo and salmon in butter sauce with capers, the only fish dish, plus the traditional codfish bermudian breakfast.
- The ribs were nothing to rave about, the lamb curry was very basic, felt leftover lamb dumped in a cheap curry sauce.
- The only pasta dish was some ravioli, but they looked heavy and pasty, no doubt they were untouched.
- The chicken piccata was flavourless. bland.
- The prime rib looked good except that after some time you have to slice it yourself because the chef leaves his post.
-The braised brisket was sitting in a pool of fat, really thick, imagine 1 centimeter of grease on top of the gravy.
- The omelette mix is left out for hours, no ice.
- When you ask for an omelette or fried egg make sure to have a few napkins to absorb the load of oil spray the chef will put in the pan, makes you wonder why they are using non stick pans????
- The desserts selection let them down too, no fruit salad, chocolate fountain with a few skewers of melon and marshmallows, the whipped cream also is not kept on ice, neither is the chocolate mousse, no fresh berries, not one single fresh berry.
- The desserts were apparently home made, but they looked like the frozen ones that were only thawed out and sliced and served to us.

It was a very disappointing experience, the cold food didn't have any labels, the maitre d' was very present and active, thumbs up, beautiful setting, fantastic view of the harbour , so I guess we paid for that in fact and not really for the food. Other brunches in bda offer more at a better rate.

Possibly the best simply grilled local guinea chicks. A must order during the season, September to April.

My family stayed at the Belmont for four days and during our time had meals here everyday. The service provided was outstanding, and the staff went out of their way to accommodate our every request, which is what kept us coming back during our stay. They managed to make room for our group of 16 and a little one and provided excellent service. The food was delicious, and the desserts even better! Would love to come back again!

This is a nice restaurant. I have had breakfast, lunch, and Sunday brunch here. They have a pretty decent variety for Sunday brunch. The selection was impressive. The food was taste full and the staff were accommodating. Lunch for me was a little underwhelming as I was not too impressed by the selection.

Definitely a fine dining experience, with spectacular views of Hamilton Harbour. Whether you choose to eat on the patio or inside, the restaurant offers panoramic views of the the City of Hamilton, it's Harbour and without a doubt, one of the best sunsets in Bermuda. The menu is sophisticated European with an emphasis on the cuisine of France, and the service is polished and professional. All round impressive restaurant that has always pleased my guests when they visit Bermuda.
