From the tasty Mexican dishes at Chilangos to the comforting meals of Capers, there’s always something new to try just a walk away from the waterfront.
For those who like to enjoy a locally made glass of wine with their meal, Norman Hardie Winery in Prince Edward County specializes in delicious, wood-fired pizzas, fresh PEI oysters and organic seasonal dishes that beautifully complement locally made Chardonnays, Pinots, and more.
For those that like to explore the natural world, Belleville is perfectly poised amongst some of Ontario’s most beautiful greenspaces. H.R. Frink Conservation Area has many trails you can walk, as well as an educational centre for the outdoor enthusiast. There are many parks by the waterfront, like Riverside Park (which just got a new Disc Golf course), Jane Forrester Park and Zwick’s Centennial Park, home to many fantastic events like the Belleville Waterfront and Multicultural Festival every July.
Belleville’s Downtown Core is full of wonderful opportunities to explore and play. Find your new favourite outfit at Pure Honey Boutique, catch a show at the Empire Theatre, or visit the historic Glanmore House—and if you’d prefer to catch an open mic, lively event or a free yoga class, the Belleville Business Improvement Association will send updates on events directly to your inbox.
