Belles Hot Chicken Melbourne CBD

With a little wait of 4-6 minutes, my partner and I were seated. The interior resembled a 1950's american diner experience along with their layed back and polite staff. Whats special happened to be the food aswell as how fast it arrived, cheers to the chefs. We ordered the Nashville spicy sandwich (burger) + Southern 4 pc tenders, accompanied with fries, must I mentioned it didn't disappoint! I'd definitely come back to Belle's with friends.

The drinks were the absolute highlight of the experience. Mac and cheese bites were a surprising top contender, followed by the tenders. Slaw lacked any flavour and that familiar vinegar tang. Everything felt a little lacklustre compared to similar fried chicken options. Loved the diner style vibe initially but that left after the aircon was under the pump and provided minimal relief despite being in at open.

My friends and I came here for the first time, and the staff were super friendly and provided great service. We ordered the Belles Bucket with the Traveller flavor — it had a nice, balanced taste, not too spicy, and gave off a real American-style fried chicken vibe. I really liked the pickles on the side — they went perfectly to cut through the richness. The side dishes like salad, fries, mashed potatoes and corn cheese were the best! Everything tasted amazing together. We’ll definitely be coming back again!

A meal at Belles is undoubtedly quite a satisfying experience if you're craving hearty, tasty comfort food, The burgers are juicy and flavorful, with a perfect balance of toppings and a soft, bun. 🍔The wings are crispy and tender, coated in delicious spices that hit all the right notes—definitely a highlight of the menu! 😋😋The curly fries are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and seasoned just right. 👌👌 The staff are friendly and attentive, making sure our order was perfect. The atmosphere is casual and warm, perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or family. Prices are reasonable considering the generous portions. Belles, I’ll definitely be returning soon! 👍😀

Great little place with amazing food. It was hot at 43 and the fans just moved the hot air. There needs to be air con as we were sweating bullets the whole time.

We came here for a date night and it was so good we brought our friends back a few weeks later! The chicken is amazing (the nashville tenders are the best) and we LOVED the mac n cheese. The interior is really cool too and gives an American diner style of eating. Definitely will be coming back again. :)

Surprisingly, it felt like the food came out in less than five minutes after we ordered. Unfortunately, the chicken wasn’t hot, and the tenders on top of the fries were slightly cold as well. The prices aren’t exactly cheap, and as a Korean for whom fried chicken is basically soul food, it was a pretty disappointing experience. I feel like it would’ve tasted much better if the food had been served hot.

Popular place with vibey menu selection. Has a 1950s type diner feel about it with accompanying tunes. The food is quite good. I went for a buffalo chicken burger and side of chips. All went down quite nicely. Order by QR code at table and divered within ten minutes.

A lot of locals suggested this as thee chicken sandwich. The decor gave diner-type vibes. I ordered a chicken sandwich with fries and gravy -- The fries were ok but the gravy was lacking. Watery. Tasteless. As for the chicken sandwich... If you are reading this and you're from America let me put it like this: You can leave a Popeyes chicken sandwich outside for a week and it would still blow a fresh chicken sandwich from here out of the water. It was supposed to be hot but it wasn't. It was supposed to be good but it wasn't.

Strange combination (IMHO) of a full bar and a chicken joint. Well, maybe if I drank, I might find it to be complementary rather than strange. Some good grease to soak up the alcohol. The entrance directly off Elizabeth Street has three steps inside. Even with a railing, I struggled. There is an accessible entrance. Go through the mall doors to the left, up a slight incline, and you'll see the other Belle's entrance on the right. As you enter you'll see the corridor to the restrooms. There are booths and tables and a counter. They bring you a bottle of water to start you off. They don't call it "diet" soda here - it's "no sugar" soda. They have Pepsi Max. Of course there are all kinds of other non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks, too, including the "natural wine" they advertise. Now for the reason I came in: Bring me the chicken! You can get several pieces with a choice of one side, or you can build your meal. I chose three drumsticks, Southern style (salt and pepper), with Old Bay Seasoning fries. There are also sides like mac 'n cheese and greens. (These are not all the sides.) I also chose an ala carte chicken wing, medium (paprika). You can get the chicken in various levels of heat. You can pay for several different kinds of sauces and pickles. The chicken comes in tenders, drumsticks, or wings. Stuff is made to order, so give it a little time. It comes out hot and crispy. The pieces are meaty, even the chicken wings. The chicken comes on white bread to soak up the grease and is topped with chunky cuts of pickle. A good, filling meal. I got only halfway through and was happy to take the rest with me. There's also a bit of fish and mushrooms and ribs and salads, for those not into chicken or who want something a bit healthier.
