This was an amazing spot and it’s in the Michelin Guide! Super cute, rustic vibes with outdoor and indoor seating. We split the sardines as an appetizer. The tin is from Spain and came with cultured butter and hot sauce. My boyfriend ordered the steak tartare which he really enjoyed. My dad had the mole frites, my mon had the summer vegetable salad, and I got Chicken Paillard. My mom isn’t usually a salad person but this was incredibly well done - bursting with freshness and vibrancy. My chicken paillard came with a delicious sauce and had fresh greens and cherry tomatoes. For dessert, we had both the Gateau Breton butter cake as well as the Creme caramel (flan). We’re glad e tried both but the favorite was the butter cookie - simple yet rich and decadent. Parking was easy and credit cards accepted. We walked around the small town afterwards to digest. Overall, well worth a stop from a delicious meal!

Love this place! Erica was our waitress and she was warm, welcoming (as was everyone!), and very knowledgeable. A must go if in the area!

We visited Bell’s in Los Alamos for a special dinner, and it was an incredible experience. The restaurant has earned its Michelin recognition, and it shows. The set menu is a thoughtful five or six courses with options, and each dish was unique, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor.
From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted and seated at a great table. The restaurant was bustling with energy, and it’s clear why reservations are a must. Our meal lasted close to two hours, but the time flew by thanks to the atmosphere and the way each course flowed into the next.
Bell’s truly makes dining an experience, not just a meal. Highly recommended for a memorable night out

My review of Bell’s is long overdue! I’ve been to Bell’s around 6 times now for either the prix fixe dinner menu or stopped in for lunch. I would highly recommend both experiences as they are unique to one another and well worth the drive up from Santa Barbara.
My most recent visit was for lunch- I ordered the steak and frites and my partner ordered the mussels and frites. The staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly and attentive ensuring that all guests have the best all around experience.
The food itself is always cooked and seasoned to perfection and our steak and mussels yesterday afternoon were no exception.
I’ve also had the egg salad sandwich and the steak tartar off of the lunch menu and can’t recommend either of those enough! Both delicious choices.
For dessert we had the gateau and the caramel crème.
Everything at Bell’s is priced incredibly well, the value is amazing given the quality of both the food and the service. I will be back more times in the future I am sure! Always happy to sample new menu options as they seasonally come available. If you’re driving through Los Alamos- definitely stop in for a visit, you won’t be disappointed (unless they’re booked and you didn’t make a reservation ;)!

Patio sitting in 100+ weather isn’t worth it. Food isn’t enjoyable at that temperature outside. No fans or any cooling system.

This was one of the best prixe fixe menu’s ive had the opportunity to enjoy. Each dish is thoughtful & flavorful. The desserts were to die for. Bottles are 50% off on Monday… We ordered a nice champagne 🍾

Had reservations,were sat outside, smelled funky. no option to sit in AC about 100+ degrees at 1pm.they sat us in a different area outside still. 1 all gender toilet, waited 15-20 min to use it. I don’t know how I can enjoy lunch at +100 degrees, no mist system. It doesn’t matter if Gordon ramsey cooked the meal himself. Sorry but no, this shouldn’t be Michelin star or even approved. Menu had typo on beer description not a big deal but I thought should mention. Waitress was professional and enthusiastic but she doesn’t have much to work with. Nope! Bar Le Cote is 1000x better 12miles away, it is their sister restaurant, no Michelin star. Stake frites was good. Scallop crudo is better at bar le cote. Bell salad was good. Overall good food (not amazing) maybe take it To go? IDK it’s not enjoyable outside in late summer lunchtime. Totally not worth it.

Had a nice lunch here - BLT and tomato gazpacho soup. Nice decor and vibe - just seemed a bit pricey $21 for a sandwich and bag of chips and 20% service charge (in lieu of a tip).
Five stars isn’t enough. I almost did the prefix dinner but then decided to try lunch so I could pick and choose what I wanted. Every dish was absolutely incredible. The sea urchin Panna cotta was extremely unique and ridiculously buttery and balanced. The buckwheat crêpe was again so so unusual but absolutely perfect. The gazpacho was fresh and delightful and exactly how summer tomatoes should taste.
Everything was gorgeous from the bathroom, to the back patio, to the towels hanging on the wall, to the ice bucket for chilling wine. The service was excellent and attentive but not overwhelming. The wines are ere fantastic.
The prices were extremely reasonable… then again I am coming from Los Angeles but I would pay double considering the quality and excellence of every single dish & the experience. I will absolutely be going back as soon as possible (Also, can I say I love that the head chef is a woman🙌…)

What a fabulous first meal. Not just for the food but the wonderful customer service. The moment you walk in, there is a warm greeting followed by the Fresh greenery display inside. Waiting staff helped one another and we’re very nice. We will return!

bell’s definitely leans toward cozy charm. It’s this rustic, French-ranch or ‘Franch’ thing. The place has personality, and the staff is friendly enough. The food is pleasant, not fancy, and the prices add up. Good for a casual splurge but don't come expecting fireworks

I’ve only been for their lunch service, but I got Paris syndrome here (e.g. too much hype left me feeling a little disappointed). The Gateau Breton due to its dense, crumbly nature should be accompanied by cream or preserves, Steak Frites was alright, and the egg salad sandwich had a nice touch!
The food and the service were incredible!
