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.

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.

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!

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

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.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a remarkable French-inspired Mediterranean restaurant that left an indelible mark on my taste buds and senses. This fine dining establishment has elevated the art of gastronomy to new heights, captivating diners with its exceptional cuisine and enchanting ambiance.

We had not been here for a couple of years. After dinner tonight it won’t be that long again! My wife had the shrimp ravioli and I had a filet. Both of our dishes were excellent and our server was so good.

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.

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!
