Belon is a good restaurant. No doubt. But the only thing amazing about it are the prices. So first things first - the comte cheese amuse was lovely. Delicious even. The oysters were at the right temperature and perfectly shucked - no annoying bits of shell in the good stuff - and the champagne vinaigrette was divine. The Hokkaido scallop was nicely executed.

So first things first - the comte cheese amuse was lovely. Delicious even. The oysters were at the right temperature and perfectly shucked - no annoying bits of shell in the good stuff - and the champagne vinaigrette was divine. The Hokkaido scallop was nicely executed. The pigeon was very nicely cooked. The Wagyu striploin was delicious (but they served it with vegetables straight from the fridge - stone cold - so that went back. Very upsetting. The cheese plate was poor and the Milliefullie was lovely.
So some of the food was lovely, some great, so very poorly done. But all of the food was over priced. The Wagyu was $800 and less than 150grms! It was tiny!!!! I asked the server what was the Wagyu’s grade. He said “top grade.” Hilarious!!!! The pigeon was something similar in price. Six oysters were $428! They were nice but not that nice! The Comte cheese desert was 5 thin slices of cheese on a plate with some bread on the side. Cost $148! Boring! And finally, the corkage was $498! That’s more than the corkage at Caprice!
The waiting staff were good when we complained about the fridge-cold vegetables and didn’t hesitate to remove the meal from the bill and comp us the two deserts so that saved us $1000. But seriously, this place won’t be able to survive with those prices. No wonder I was able to book a Saturday night just 5 days before.
Also, when your spending this type of money on food you kind of expect the meal to be explained to you. Not in this place. One word descriptions were used. A bit disappointing.
The meal cost $3500 for two including the corkage. It’s simply wasn’t worth it. When I think you can go to David Lai’s Neighbourhood and have better food at literally half the cost or go to Amber where they present the food similarly but it’s better. I won’t be returning to Belon.
