Belgravia Hub

Absolutely love this little spot. Their Corn fritters with the strawberry jam was super good. Not greasy, just good. I’ve been their twice and both times the food was fantastic and the service equally as good. Very friendly and an attentive staff. I remember this spot when it was the old bookstore.

Cute spot for a cozy restaurant. The interior is all leather and wood, dimly lit and oddly humid. We came in for a snack since we needed to be somewhere by 6, needed to eat but weren’t super hungry.
The only staff working the FOH offered us a table by the window but said she would needed it back by 6:30 since we had come in without a reservation. We knew we would be quick so that was fine.
This place specializes in comfort food and you can tell by looking at the menu. Mac and cheese, shepherds pie, meatloaf, etc. The menu really made me want to come back again but much hungrier.
We settled on everything cheese ball and the lemongrass pork meatballs.
Everyone, you have to try the meatballs! They are delightfully flavoured with ginger, garlic and lemongrass and topped with a lightened sweet chilli sauce and crunchy wonton wrappers. The sweet chilli sauce appears and tasted like the bottled variety but it had been doctored up a little. I didn’t care much for it but my husband liked it. It was nice to dip the wonton wrappers in.
The everything cheese all was decidedly ok. Not amazing and not bad so just ok. The bacon flavour in it didn’t really come through as much as I had hoped and it was rolled in poppy seed which was overpowering in the texture department.
Our server was friendly and attentive even though it was starting to get busy in the restaurant and she was the only one working.
I’ll be back for sure and ready to try the entrees.

Great Value at this cozy little neighbourhood restaurant. The food and the décor seem like you’re eating at an expensive new age restaurant, but the price doesn’t match the experience. Everything is made in house with lots of flavour. Perfect place to go for a quiet little night.

I came here for lunch with some co-​workers. This is one of those places where I really wish I could review the food and service separately (I mean give them separate star ratings). In lieu of that, I’ve gone with a 3 star rating for their 4 – 5 star food and their 1 – 2 star service…
My table got a couple appetizers to share — the artichoke crab dip and the corn fritters. I didn’t try the dip but I did have half a fritter. While my entire table loved both of things things, I found the fritter to be too deep fried tasting… and not in a delicious donut-​ey way… more in a stale oil hasn’t been changed in way too long kind of way.
But my sandwich… oh my goodness my sandwich. I got the Pesto Chicken Flatbread sandwich with soup, and I really didn’t have high expectations. Even when it came, it didn’t look THAT great (picture). But it was delicious. The flatbread was so soft and chewy it was actually one of my new favourite sandwich breads. And the chicken/​prosciutto/​pesto were all flavourful and complimented each other perfectly. I got the cauliflower/​potato soup (of the day) and it was an insanely generous portion for a side dish… and it was very nice and creamy and almost tasted cheese if anything. Anyways, it was very good.
But the service… First off, there wasn’t much of it. There were maybe 5 tables (so it was pretty full) but there only seemed to be one server. I had to ask the cook to bring me more water when she came with the food because our server was nowhere to be found with a jug. When our server did come the once, and when she came to bring items, she kept leaning over me and almost touching my glass, which I found kind of unsanitary. She also grabbed my shoulder on a couple occasions. When bringing the bill and saying ‘thank you, bye’, she grabbed it and squeezed a little — I was SO uncomfortable. She didn’t even apologize when I kind of jerked away from her hand. She also only brought us one bill for a group of 6. At this point (we waited for the bill for probably 10 minutes), we just gave up and one girl paid and we agreed to pay her back. But seriously, you think that 6 people want a single bill? Ugh, overall, I kind of hated the service. If it wasn’t for that perfect sandwich, I’d never go back. But that sandwich was good enough that I probably will.

This restaurant is an incredible neighbourhood jewel.
The food was great, the service was decent, especially because they were missing a server (about 25% of the staff, by the looks of things).
My only real complaint was the noise level. While the restaurant can’t really choose their patrons (the six women in the corner sounded like about 15), they could have some acoustical treatments applied to the ceiling, etc., to dampen the noise.
We’ve returned for a second visit at lunch (at about 1:45), and we were the only ones in there. Despite that, the food was still fresh, excellent and the server friendly and prompt!
Totally recommend this place, especially if you’re in the neighbourhood.

Belgravia Hub is such a delightful lil Edmonton eatery! I’ve been a couple of times and both were fantastic!
Last time I was there I had the Miso glazed salmon and it was so delish!
The ambience is nice, it’s definitely got a wine bar vibe. With that said, it’s got a great wine list and local brews on tap!
Last time we went we took a walk around the neighbourhood after our meal! Such a great locale! So many unique houses. All in all great experience!

It’s been a while that I haven’t written any reviews, so today I hope to catch up on a few since I have a block of time. I am starting with BH because despite how long ago I went with a friend, the memory still persists and I am very sorry to say it isn’t a good one. I went with a friend on Nov. 1^st, a Thursday evening (I made reservations for 6:30) and expected from the hubbub about this place that it would be busy. I got there on time, as did my friend and it was relatively quite with perhaps 5 – 7 occupied (mind you, I am being prudent because it was NOT noticeably AT ALL).
The server came over after a few minutes to greet us and also give us menus and tell us the specials. Once she returned (I would say about 15 minutes later) our orders were ready to be given: one order of fritters to share (5 of them), for my friend, the schnitzel and I ordered ordered the meatloaf on a chilly beginning of November. we ordered no drinks as we didn’t feel like it, so you would think it wouldn’t have been too complicated, nor too time consuming… Our waitress came back within a reasonable time to bring the fritters… and quickly asked my friend’s order again. At this point, it’s 7:30, we have well finished our appetizer (after all, how long does it take anyone to eat 5 fritters divided by 2?). We finally get the server’s attention to ask about our entrees (by now it is 7:45) and I am sorry but the correct response to such a query is NOT, «well, what time did you have your appetizer?» –I am paraphrasing but I ASSURE you all this is how the scene went. At this response my friend was obviously upset and myself? Well, I was stunned. From this point, we finally got our entrees at a little before 8pm. Did I mention that the place was NOT crowded? Our server spent most of her evening casually going from table to table when it seemed the urge moved her.
Oh, I guess I should mention the quality of the food. It wasn’t bad… And NOT memorable. The fritters were the most gastronomically interesting part of our meal to be sure.
I’ll include her comments to substantiate as she wrote her critique on Facebook:
That I went to the Belgravia Hub restaurant for dinner and it was the worst experience of my life… Worst service ever!!!
I went with my friend for dinner on a not too busy Thursday night, after taking our seats we ordered our food, only the waiter came back 10 minutes later to tell me that she had gotten distracted and had completely forgotten what I had ordered. We had our measly appetizer of tiny corn fritters to share (2 ½ each) and 20 minutes after that the waitress removed our plates an did not even ask us whether we needed water or anything else. Dinner finally came when we quietly protested… an HOUR later. The waiter replied with a question, When did you finish eating your appetizer? of course then I told her that I would not be coming back, and as a long time neighbour I was really dissappointed I was not going to be able to refer this restaurant to anyone.
As a Belgravia neighbour, this treatment is inexcusable, I felt utterly mistreated, no apologies on her part whatsoever, I am NEVER setting a foot in this place again.
And there you have it… Do I even have to state the likelihood of going back? Didn’t think so ;-)

Really enjoyed the food and ambiance at this place on Friday night. A small but excellent menu.

Talk about making an impression!
Belgravia Hub is a sleek and classy space with a very suave soundtrack. Solid culinary chops run the kitchen.
Shortrib sliders are juicy mouthfuls that burst with fennel slaw and tender beef. Veggie flatbread is lightly covered in pesto, roasted peppers, goat cheese, and greens. Shrimp bruschetta is spicy-​sweet, though a few more slices of bread are needed.
For mains, mushroom risotto is a riot of mushrooms, asiago, and balsamic drizzle. I’ve never seen balsamic on risotto, but it adds a brand new element of zip and zing. Beef shortrib is juicy and marbled in all the right places. Potato leek mash has been pan-​fried to add texture — the afternotes of leek really make it different.
The dessert menu is brief, but cornmeal berry cake mustn’t be overlooked. Moist and studded with blueberries, this one befits a late night snack but would be welcome at any time of day.
For a restaurant that has been open little more than a week, Belgravia Hub has already found its feet.
