Our first time at this little gem restaurant in Niantic, CT. We celebrated Jim’s birthday. The shrimp over rice and kale I had was so fine and so tasty. My husband loved octopus dish he had and the light white fish my friend had was also a perfect combination of spices on it. Going to order that next time. We drank Bosnian red wine Plavac Mali. The wine was great. However next time I will order Bosnian white with my seafood or rose.
EVERY time I've eaten here, I've loved the food. I had the scallops this time, and they were delicious!! Cooked perfectly!! Highly recommend!!
Be sure to call for a reservation to ensure you get a table. Oh, and check their website for hours and the menu. Google has the wrong hours listed.
Had the eggs Benedict and squash blossom omelette. Both were outstanding. The coffee is great, and their cold brew is especially good. This is a must-visit brunch stop if you're in the area!
Every time I come the food is spectacular always so nice and cozy inside. Service is usually a little slow but the quality of food more than makes up for it.
We hosted my sister’s bridal shower here and it was fantastic. Perfect for about 30 people, great food and drinks. And most importantly, Dawn was incredibly easy for us to work with, and she was so accommodating.
After attending a baby shower at La Belle Aurore, I had reached out to them to have my rehearsal dinner for my wedding at their restaurant. The process from start to finish was impeccable. Dawn was so responsive and accommodating to the needs of my guests and budget while holding up to the best quality in food and service. She helped come up with a menu that everyone loved and created a beautiful atmosphere for our dinner. It was truly a collaborative process and Dawn was highly professional and organized throughout. She was also welcoming to my nephews who were the ring bearers and made them a kids menu item that kept everyone happy. The food was incredible with fresh vegetables, responsibly sourced meats and tasty desserts(their chocolate mousse is to die for!). We can’t wait to visit this restaurant again. Thank you Dawn and the staff at La Belle Aurore!
Great food and service. The Mexican corn salad and duck were both amazing.
Food was delicious and well presented!! Service was great too.
Had dinner for 5 people. Everything was cooked to perfection. Incredibly fresh. Is there is something I don’t like or can’t eat, usually can alter for me because everything is cooked to order. Peach burrata appetizer was incredible. Scallops cooked to perfection. French Mac and cheese was an adult twist on a classic. Yum.
Spectacular! My wife and I enjoyed this little place immensely. The service was friendly, charming, attentive, and real. It was like eating at a friend's house. And then the food: My wife had the sautéed veggies, shitake mushrooms, and tofu over rice. Outstanding and I was happy she shared it with me. I had the duck over swiss chard and the thinnest, crispiest, most flavorful fried potatoes ever in the history of potato cooking. We also loved the mussels which were left to simmer in a garlic broth to bring out their natural taste instead of smothering them in some sauce. The buttery toast that went with them was pure delicious sin when dipped in the broth. The chocolate mousse was as good as we have ever had. So happy that an eatery featuring such natural goodness exists.
