Tucked away at the bottom of Broughton Street and the corner of London Street is the recently renovated Bellevue bar. Broughton Street has quite a selection of rustic pubs and the Bellevue is aiming for a slightly smarter look. The beer selection is not extensive, however adequate having the local Deuchers and West options on draught. Drink in hand we started perusing the menu!
Monday to Friday, the Bellevue have a competitively sounding two courses for £10 lunch deal. On first inspection, it is wee bit confusing as to what this actually entails, however, you essentially pick something from the left of the menu (snacks and small things) and the right (mains except steak). The menu has a good mixture of pub classics and slightly more elaborate options, trying to cater for all tastes. The snacks and small things sounded particularly interesting including courgettes with Isle of Mull cheddar and houmous with warm rolls. I decided on the courgettes and sea bream as a main, the others mainly opted for the ubiquitous burger option.
The quality of the food was really good. It was all freshly prepared on premises and very well executed. The starters were particularly good and quite big considering they were part of a deal. The hand cup chips looked big and fat, just the way you want them! It was good to see them being cut on premises as I past the kitchen on the way to get a drink at the bar. This is definitely much better than your average pub fair and the value for money was just outstanding!
The service was friendly however a wee bit slow considering we were the only people there. I was surprised we were actually the only people there the entire time we were there. Maybe the place is just slightly out of striking distance for a lot of office workers. However if you are in the area during the week and are looking for an excellent value lunch I would definitely recommend giving the Bellevue Bar a go!
