Belleville's top-rated waterfront seafood spot on Victoria Harbour, 26+ years a Reader's Choice winner.
Perched on Victoria Harbour at 32 South Front Street in downtown Belleville, The Boathouse has been a fixture on the Bay of Quinte waterfront for over 26 years, earning consistent Reader's Choice recognition along the way.
The kitchen focuses on fresh fish and seafood, with fish and chips widely regarded as a house signature. Nightly changing specials keep the menu seasonal and worth checking before arrival. Inside, panoramic harbour-facing windows, cozy booths, and fireplaces give the dining room a relaxed, comfortable feel — neither stiffly formal nor a rowdy pub. When the weather cooperates, the seasonal patio overlooking the Bay of Quinte is among the more coveted outdoor seats in the area.
For golfers making their way through the Quinte region, Belleville sits at a practical midpoint along Highway 401 with several courses within easy driving distance. The Boathouse makes a natural stop for a post-round meal, and the waterfront setting offers a change of scenery from the clubhouse. Guests arriving by boat will find docking available directly at the property.
