Cafe Bel Ami

We are very picky about where we eat. We want great service and great food. Bel Ami delivers both!

I ordered the salmon special, and my husband ordered the steak special.

We were not disappointed.

The steak was cooked to perfection and the side of veggies was a wonderful compliment to the dish.

The salmon was cooked how I like it and was topped with shrimp.

Our server was kind and courteous. He was never too far away. We were taken care of and felt like we could ask any question or make a request without feeling like we were bothering or upsetting our server.

We will be back.

This was our first time trying out Cafe Bel Ami.

It was a Friday night and we didn’t have a reservation but it was just two of us and we were seated immediately. Unfortunately it did take a bit of time before our server made it to the table, but not completely to the point of being upsetting.

With that said the service was great from that point on. No complaints.

Appetizer: We had the Halloumi cheese to start. It was delicious as well as the spinach & tomatoes w/balsamic drizzle on top that came with it. One funny thing to note was when chewing it literally sounded like wet sneakers on a hard floor. lol

Salad: My husband had the Viennese salad and I ended up sneaking some bites as well. It was one of the best salads I’ve had in a while. The dressing was so yummy! The cucumbers on it tasted really fresh as well.

Dinner: I requested the A La Nabil Shrimp And Chicken Pasta but with the meat on a separate plate. 10/10 dish. The flavor of this meal was **chefs kiss**. Just the right amount of spice to enjoy but not be too overpowering.
•My husband had the Lemon Herb Salmon. He as well loved his. Said his salmon was seasoned and cooked perfectly.

Drinks: We tried a couple of martinis and liked them. My favorite cocktail of the night was the Golden Cadillac tho.

The Atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. We sat at a table to the left of the restaurant which was a small, but cute room.

We will definitely be back.

We have enjoyed Cafe Bel Ami for over 30 years. It is our favorite place to dine in Wichita. Not only is the food wonderful, but the dining room is quiet and romantic. It is aging, but we can call that "shabby chic". On our most recent visit, a newer server did not possess the same graciousness that most of the others have had, and displayed her frustration, which I reflect in the service rating. We had the impression that she did not think she should be assigned our table and initially let it show. The remaining service was fine. I hope the new chosen location is centrally located as well.

If you're in downtown Wichita around lunchtime, get yourself to Cafe Bel Ami on William Street!! Matter of fact, even if you aren't downtown, go to Cafe Bel Ami anyway. This place kills it. Ambience is reserved, a little upscale - linen tablecloths and napkins, soft piano music. Taste is spectacular. Service is good. Prices are reasonable. Portions are generous. Chef is remarkable. Everything was prepared just right. Presentations were professional. Can't miss at Cafe Bel Ami. I'm a fan, and will be a regular. Photos of Seafood Pescatore, Beef Medallions and Hummus appetizer attached. Excellent!
Highly recommended.

The staff were very attentive and kind. It's very fancy with lovely white tablecloths, beautiful decor, and classical music. The food was superb! I had the lunch special and it was seasoned perfectly. I got the custard dessert and it was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place.

Wonderful restaurant and great service. The menu was plentiful of selection. The venue is beautiful with its historic look and feel. The hummus plate was a nice appetizer. The meal was the trio of steak, shrimp and chicken. The steak was my favorite. Cooked perfectly to medium and very tender. The three sauces on all the various meat dishes were paired perfectly. The wine selection was great too. The cream custard dessert was delightful. I highly recommend this for a nice dinner.

I don't know why I waited so long to try this place out. The food was great and perfectly prepared.

I had a blackened chicken sandwich and it was flavorful, juicy, and just the right size. The pasta salad was excellent and I appreciate the use of cavatappi pasta

This place is beautiful inside as well and the service was top notch.

By far one of the best restaurants and most incredible hidden gems in Wichita. Lies in a very unassuming building downtown. A restaurant of incredible taste and amazing french cuisine. Has an upscale atmosphere and very personal wait staff. All the food we ate, from appetizer to dessert was some of the best I've had. It's a little expensive but definitely the best place to go if you've got a special occasion. The wine list is expansive, ending up trying the house Pinot which was the best house wine I've probably ever had. Steak and lamb were cooked to perfection and paired perfectly with their accompanied sauces. If you need a nice place for dinner this is it.

What a fabulous place to go for date night! The food, service, and atmosphere were all amazing! The Scallops Bouchee was the perfect appetizer, and my husband loved his Salmon with Shrimp, Rice, and Mixed Vegetables while I enjoyed the Cheese Ravioli and Shrimp with Mixed Vegetables. I can't wait to go back and try something else!

Exceptional dining experience! Maybe one of the best kept secrets in Wichita. Of all of the steak restaurants I've tried, their's is the best quality and the best value. The staff are polite and very professional. Wonderful ambience

First time visit met with a couple that were regulars who made recommendations. We tried a little bit of everything. Appetizer, salad, soup, entrees and dessert. We were impressed. The braised lamb shank was amazing, I had the Bel Ami trio which was very good and a perfect portion. The bread pudding for dessert with the fruit compote was to die for.

We were in Wichita for only one night and staying at the Ambassador Hotel just down the street. We chose Bel Ami because it had an interesting menu, good reviews and was easy walking distance from the hotel. One of the best meals we have had in a long time. We travel a lot and are not unfamiliar with nice restaurants. In my opinion Bel Ami could hold it's own in New York, Paris, London, Dallas, virtually anywhere. It has a very European feel. My wife had the Seafood Melange and I had the Bel Ami Trio. Both were outstanding. We had house wines and they were quite good. We booked earlier than we would have liked because they were full at our preferred time. So we took our time and never felt rushed. The service was excellent and the prices we thought were very reasonable. I would give it more than five stars if available. If we're ever in Wichita we will absolutely return.

Food was delicious. I recommend the Filet Rousinni, steak was prepared exactly as requested.

The food is worth every penny! If your looking for a classic feel and an amazing meal, I would definitely suggest you give this place a try! I would recommend the Delmonico! Absolutely thee best steak in Wichita!

First time at Café Bel Ami and what a great experience it was. The food was delicious. The fantastic service and hospitality from Megan was exceptional. Café Bel Ami is a cosy place for a great dinning experience. Will surely visit again. Thank you Megan for making our experience a memorable one.

Cafe Bel Ami is an upscale restaurant in the heart of Wichita's downtown. Lunch is a great time for that business power lunch and dinner is the perfect companion for the Theatre or symphony. Tilapia and salmon are some of the best fish dishes in the city. The restaurant is well managed, professional, and courteous with a friendly and knowledgeable wait staff. It is no secret this is one of my favorites in the city. It is located in an Historic building with vaulted ceilings and old world French and Mediterranean design. Grab your significant other, enjoy Cafe Bel Ami and head out to see a show or band in the nearby, Old Town area.

I went in to this building on Williams Street expecting a small hole in the wall but found a very nice up town restaurant. The prices look a bit high but the quality of food was worth it. I'd suggest this place to anyone who is looking for a place to take a date, or for any special occasion.

I can't remember the name of the dish I had, but it was very tender pieces of steak on top of spaghetti in a lemon crème sauce. Was very good.

Always our favorite. It never disappoints! The service was so great and the food was fantastic. Love BelAmi will continue to come back.

Great food and even better service. We got the scallops for our appetizer, I got the 12oz special for my entrée and my husband got the 12oz KC Delmonico I believe is what its called. Everything was seasoned perfectly and the steaks were just the right temperature. The drinks we got were great as well. This is definitely a hidden gem downtown and we'll be back.

Absolutely can't wait to go again!! The food was amazing, the staff was excellent, and we didn't feel like we had to talk over any background noise to converse with each other.
