Beautiful restaurant in the heart of old downtown Belleville. Sans Souci hosted a private group event for us and did a wonderful job. The food was fresh and delicious. The service, both the bar tenders and the food servers were excellent. The private space provided for us was tastefully decorated with what appeared to be local artists’ work and it was large enough for our musical entertainment to have their own stage. I would highly recommend Sans Souci.

Great spot in Belleville to enjoy a sandwich. I recommend the Rib Eye!

We just went for the mothers day brunch buffet. I've heard good things and thought it would be a good experience, but was very disappointed. We were set up in what looked like a conference room with horrible music playing. It was all fend for yourself. Cut your own bread at a buffet which is disgusting as everyone was touching it. The food looked and tasted terrible. Everything was cold and presentation was less than appetizing. I tried to eat a few bites of what I chose and couldn't continue, so I ate nothing and the server took a full plate of food away without even questioning if there was a problem. My fiance was told they would only take 50% off my "meal", even though I ate nothing. My daughter only ate some store bought 2 bite brownies and we were charged full price for her, even though that's all she ate. We went with my family and we were all less then impressed. My brother complained that it was terrible and food was cold and was told, sorry we still need to charge full price. All in all a terrible mother's day meal and bad first impression of this place. We obviously will not go back or recommend this restaurant based on this experience.

We hired Sans Souci for our wedding for a 3-course meal on June 18, 2022 in Prince Edward County. The food and service was AMAZING! Usually at weddings and other catered events, you don't receive decent sized portions but we were very impressed and the taste of everything was delicious. The servers were very tentative and dinner went very smoothly. Greg was very easy to work with leading up to our big day - we had to postpone last summer and he was extremely accommodating with that as well. You can tell he is a seasoned chef and caterer because the execution was flawless. I should mention the pricing was very reasonable as well. It was all around a great experience and we will definitely look to Greg and his team for future catering needs. Thank you!

The food here used to be fantastic! I'd always order the rib eye sandwich and it would always be so juicy that it would drip down my forearms and be full of flavour. Now, I receive dried out deli meat and get told it's rib eye. It wasn't even warm. You can seriously use this meat as kindling. It didn't even have even close to the correct toppings.

Always love grabbing lunch here! Update: I held my Mother's 75th birthday here a couple weeks ago. The venue, food and staff were excellent. Greg had lost his own Mother that same week and could of cancelled our event understandably, but did not. Even in a terrible time in his life he delivered exceptional service and made my Mother's birthday one to remember! Thank you so very much!

My wife and I hired Sans Souci to cater our wedding in Napanee and we were really happy with the experience and the food was delicious. We chose a buffet style and were able to choose the mains, salads, and desserts. Greg and his staff were very professional and Rachel answered all our questions as the wedding day approached. During the ceremony, Greg and his staff went out of their way to open all the wine bottles that we had placed on our tables which we really appreciated!

I was early before opening this past Thursday both ladies were welcoming and friendly and did not mind serving me early. I was craving the trio salad. Thank you M Garnier

December 22, 2023

My daughter was originally going to go ahead with Sans Souci for her wedding until the tasting. Chef Greg was rude and inappropriate. He did not prepare all the meals they were hoping to taste and when asked if the salad was supposed to have pine nuts, he replied with, Do you know how expensive pine nuts are?! He continued to complain about how his staff can not be expected to climb stairs at the venue. We ended up cancelling with Sans Souci and Greg had the audacity to charge us $300 for the tasting which was not good nor a complete meal for two.

December 22, 2022

Went there for a birthday and everybody ordered chicken or prime rib. I had the chicken and the outside was so hard and burnt, the inside was pretty good but for other people there apparently it was raw. Honestly I wasnt looking to judge the restaurant because thats just odd, but the waiters werent talking or smiling. I didnt care much about that, but when you said thanks or asked for something, they just nodded and walked away. Im not a waiter so I dont know how hard it is, but they could have at least talked back. Prime rib was good for everyone who had it, but coffee and tea was also ordered, and we didnt even get that. We had to ask around three times just for them to bring only coffee out. Again, the food really wasnt horrible, I just wouldnt go there again.

December 22, 2022

My father s 70th birthday was held at San Souci, and I could not have been more disappointed. First, the food was terrible. Everyone I spoke to echoed my experience with the chicken: it was so dry it was inedible. It had obviously been cooked earlier and reheated for too long in the oven (probably left over from an event earlier in the week), and I couldn t even cut it with a steak knife. The vegetables were way undercooked and not seasoned, and the prime rib was nearly raw. When I spoke to the chef after, he seemed angry, but agreed to make some accommodation for the poor quality (they took half the price off the 10 chicken plates). There was a nice selection of teas on the dessert table, but no hot water to make them. I expected a carafe of coffee and boiling water for tea, and when we asked, they brought out a couple individual cups of tepid water. The servers were sweet but clearly not prepared for a group. And 14 of our guests cancelled at the last minute due to a blizzard. My mother (who lives on a government pension and saved for a year for this) knew she would have to pay for those plates, but when she asked if she could take some of the leftovers home, she was told no. I would never go to this restaurant again, and would strongly advise people looking for a place to host an event look elsewhere.

I want to start by saying amazing service, the girls were great, helpful and friendly. I got the ham and genoa sandwich, which was really good. The cappuccino was burnt, with barely enough milk foam. The soups: apple and squash, which tasted like apple sauce and honestly just had a pure applesauce feel/texture to it. The beef was mostly just meat in brine. Luckily I like salty things, so I may be able to eat the beef on some bread or something later, but had to go elsewhere else for lunch. Truly disappointed as it is close to home and was hoping to have found my little spot. Will not be returning here, mostly money spent to the trash.

I had my wedding here back in October of 2019. The food was amazing!!! The staff were wonderful. I felt very secure in leaving things in their very capable hands. The venue was perfect for my 60 guests. We had the ceremony at the front and with the wall feature it was the perfect backdrop to our ceremony. We had a surprise wedding ( people thought it was an engagement party) amd we pulled it off by them closing off the front and having the guests enter the back. If I had to do it over again I would not change anything. It was so uncomplicated and just fantastic!

This is a hidden gem in downtown district of Belleville. I was looking to eat soup on a cold winter afternoon and I was suggested to go to Sans-Souci as they have more options for soup. I went in just to get soup and ordered their On the Grill Chicken Salad. I loved it and my husband was not gonna have lunch and after tasting my salad he ordered one for himself. We have made this our Go To spot from now on anytime we go to Ottawa on our way. We are happy to take a little detour for this place. Will be coming here again when we are in Belleville. Must go.

Went there for a local concert. Not impressed at all. The. Place itself was unkempt. Looked dirty. You had to walk through the immediate eating area to get to the room for the n small(100) people concert. Table numbers repeated themselves, so staff were constantly looking for who the food belonged to (eg, table A in front or table A in the back. Whats wrong with numbered tables? Receiving food that should have been hot and was rapidly cooling, did not sit well. After seeing that, we didnt order any food. For drinks, you had to walk back to the regular eating area. Strange. Unless I win tickets for an event I wouldnt want to eat there, so I will not return.

Greg & Sans Souci staff just recently catered our wedding of over 100 at the Crystal Palace Picton. It went beyond every expectation we had. Not only did he customize a menu for us, work in a heritage building with no kitchen, and provided a hot delicious spread, but he made my family recipes that I provided to him, for an army of people! There was spëtzel, perogies, sausage, schnitzel, chicken paprikash, braised cabbage, salads and veggies!!!! All amazing! He made sure every table was happy and our guests have been talking about it since! Thank you so much for the best wedding food I have ever had! (Not just saying that because it s my own wedding!!)

Dissapointed with main dish, duck was hard and chewy and somewhat smelling foul as opposed to fresh duck meat odour as Ive had many duck meals (asked before ordering whether to go with lamb or duck and was suggested duck for tender meat). The chese pie was extremely sweet but the waiter said it wasnt sweet. Was charged all the same for a 2 course menu for a good soup and anot ok psmall salad. The waiter was understanding but overall would not recommend. Nice decor and music
