Richmond has become the ultimate foodie city over the past couple of years and we are excited to tell you that yet another remarkable restaurant has opened in Richmond, Va called Belle & James. We had a chance to try the menu before it opened to the public earlier this week and let it be known that we had a wonderful evening full of yummy libations and delectable food. Belle & James is a French-American restaurant with enticing creations that sat nicely on our palate such as Pimento Cheese Beignets & lavender infused cocktails. Not only do we love the juxtaposition between the feminine and masculine names used in this restaurant’s title (think Belle Isle & James River), but we also enjoy how the interior decor will make you want to stay awhile.

Check out Belle & James this weekend between all of your Halloween fun for a meal before the festivities or a cocktail at their instagrammable bar. Thank you Belle & James for a wonderful evening, we can’t wait for many more!

P.S If you ever get lonely, you can always go visit Brigitte Bardot while enjoying a glass of champagne at Belle & James.
