Great spot for a celebration, date night, girls night, or to sit at the bar. The cocktails are fantastic (try the orange blossom) and they have amazing zero proof options as well. Food is delicious, always love trying the new menu items. Everyone is friendly and personable. Overall such a great vibe here.

Omg this is 1 of 2 of the best restaurants in downtown Kamloops 🥂 The from scratch sister restaurants! The owners & staff are 2nd to none! We were treated like absolute gold!

Excellent, yummy food! We stopped in Kamloops as part of our Canadian Rail trip. Their food and service was some of the best we had while in Canada. I wish I could have some of their Adult Lunchables right now. Pictures don’t do it justice. But I guess you could say that about all of Canada!🇨🇦❤️

Lovely place for a nicer dinner. I had the Nicoise Salad which tasted ok and was a very small portion. My company had Fettucine Scampi which were excellent and a lot more generous of a portion. We shared the Tres Leches desert which was very yummy and enough for two. Great beers from the Noble Pig on tap as well. If only they were open for lunch...

In town from Vancouver for a golf trip and we googled top restaurants by us and this one came up. We decided to go here because it was walking distance from Sandman. I am not exaggerating when I say the Ponzu Steak Salad was phenomenal, as well as the pizza special (we typically don’t order specials but this pizza sounded amazing as did the bourbon sour special and they both were outstanding). The pizza special was Moroccan and the combined flavours were hard to believe that someone could create a masterpiece like that - pine nuts for the crunch, green olives, pork belly…sounds strange but was unreal. I hope they put it on their menu. To top it off, we had to see if the desserts matched the meals so we chose the blueberry basil cheesecake. Holy. Cow. The blueberry sorbet that was served with that cheesecake was the most juicy, sweet, mouth puckering taste of heaven. You could really tell the chefs care about what they put on the table. Hailey was our server and she was so sweet, perfect timing, gave suggestions and added just what we needed to make it 3/3 with the food, ambience, and service. It’s hard now a days to have all 3 be excellent, but this restaurant does it well. We will be back for sure and I will absolutely be telling people I know who visit Kamloops to stop in.

We moved back to Kamloops and have been trying to find “our” restaurant. Well I think we most definitely did with Under Belly. From our starter Kale salad, warm focaccia bread (w the added dip of of whipped ricotta and feta) to our entrees carbonara and the beef bourguignon. We couldn’t stop saying how delicious everything was. We had a nice local bottle of Chardonnay from Monte Creek. Our server Lindsay (Lyndsay) showed us just the right amount attention without being overly intrusive. Thank you!

Went here for a mid-week supper. When you enter the restaurant, you get the vibe of this place right away — casual and trendy. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and quite busy. The staff are laid back, super friendly, and attentive. I had the Portuguese-style chicken sandwich with a side of parmesan potatoes. The sandwich was phenomenally good — great flavours on the marinated chicken with a fresh bun with fixings. The side of potatoes came in a generous portion and had great flavour. I also ordered a non-alcoholic cocktail that was fantastic. The server was a huge part of our excellent experience here. She was super attentive without being overbearing and genuinely friendly. She made us feel right at home with her good nature and easy style. Honestly, I’d go back to this place in a heartbeat. It’s a fantastic place and if you find yourself in Kamloops, it is totally worth checking out.

This is one of the best restaurants we've eaten in Kamloops. The service was friendly and attentive and the food was delicious, artistic, flavorful, and memorable. Beautiful plating.

Absolutely amazing dinner 10/10 every single time we come, my partner and I enjoyed a beautiful setting of the restaurant , I LOVED the short rib and my partner had the underbelly and both just melted in your mouth- was absolutely delicious I had the peach bourbon sangria and it was also beyond tasty and the beer was perfect / perfect taste and foam. THE BLUEBERRY BASIL CHEESECAKE made our night ! It was so good, I ve never ate a cheesecake that slow and the reason was I wanted to take in every bite. Jordan helped us with our meal selection and he was beyond kind, professional and welcoming , he is a fantastic server and suits the company beautifully ! Thanks underbelly and Jordan for the fabulous date night out

We celebrated an anniversary and were very appreciative of the overall experience in a casual atmosphere. Really enjoyed the quality and flavors shared featured flatbread with smoked salmon followed by featured lamb and a carbonara with prawns and mushrooms, and a lovely shared ginger cake with ice cream. Locally sourced ingredients and imaginative sauces were great! Our server was very engaging, informative and helpful! We will be back!

May 5th. Simple and wonderful. The underbelly: the pork having Moroccan spices danced on my tongue, it was crispy and succulent full of texture the plating was fun. The side s complimenting the dish, solid. The restaurant has a great cocktail list, solid little wine list and my server was attentive, fun and knowledgeable. Sitting at the bar i could overhear the kitchen, professional and a little playful. As 15+yr vet in the service industry, this was as solid an experience as anywhere.

My son and I go out for supper every week to different restaurants. Surprisingly yesterday at Underbelly we found 2 very uncommon things together: great food and an outstanding Waiter, who really knows what costumer service means. His name is Cory and he made us have a great experience. I wish there were more Corys in other restaurants as many of them have good food but not very good costumer service. Thanks Cory for your great service, you made our supper even better than what it already was.

No one had been to this restaurant and I made a reservation to give it a try. It was a resounding success and I think everyone will return.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding reception at Underbelly - By the Pig in Kamloops, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. With 68 guests in attendance, we couldnt have asked for a better venue. From the moment we stepped into the space, we fell in love with its unique and inviting ambiance. It provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration. What truly set Underbelly apart, though, was its exceptional staff. The cocktails served at Underbelly were nothing short of perfection. Each sip was a delightful journey of flavors, and our guests couldnt stop raving about them. The bartenders and serving staff were incredible. They not only served with expertise but did so with genuine warmth and enthusiasm, adding a special touch to our evening. A particular shout-out goes to Sarah, who played a pivotal role in making our event unforgettable. She worked closely with us to organize and create a custom menu and drinks that perfectly matched our vision for the reception. Her dedication and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of our dining experience. Underbelly also impressed us with their flexibility. They allowed us ample time to set up and tear down our event, which alleviated a significant amount of stress on our big day. Their support made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. In sum, our experience at Underbelly - By the Pig was exceptional. Its a place where culinary expertise, outstanding service, and a commitment to creating memorable moments all come together. We are profoundly grateful to Sarah and the entire team for making our wedding reception an unforgettable, delicious, and truly special event.

We were surprised that there was only one pork dish on the dinner menu. We went for the sole item; the pork belly. Of course we appreciate that pork belly is not lean, however, our portions were almost entirely fat. Another person in our party had the burger and it was acceptable. Alas no fries here and other sides are pricey. Very poor value for our dollar.

Went here for my birthday. We waited a very long time for service and we re then apologized to for being forgotten about. The food was mostly good but a bit pricey. Drinks were $14 each and we weren t told a price until the bill came, so that wasn t a great surprise. I received a complimentary desert for my birthday, which was a nice touch. For a one time event it was fine, but due to the service, I will likely choose a different restaurant next time.

Ill start out by saying that the food is excellent and I am a long time customer of both the Noble Pig and Underbelly when it was called Forno on Fifth. I also praise both these restaurants for their good quality local food and freshly made food. Since the Underbelly has opened I have visited twice, and was overall happy with the new menu, but found myself missing some plates from Forno, like the Meza platter and the cast iron focaccia which filled the entire cast iron pan it was served in; as opposed to the small pieces served in the same dish as a part of the Satay Hummus dish. The portion sizes are also just a little light and if your hungry you should order an appetizer with your meal. I am also happy to see a few more vegetarian dishes, especially since the Noble Pig has had fewer and fewer vegetarian options on their menu. Overall the service is excellent and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The food is great quality and flavours are excellent. The Underbelly is definitely worth the price!

Not impressed. Our Server was not very present ie slipped the bill on our table without a word. I was asked which side I wanted with the burger? I asked what comes with it? But it turned out the potatoes were an extra $7 (server said she could go get the manager to delete the charge but I passed. Not wanting a scene) My partner had the lamb tagine which was very tangy and salty. My burger was very tasty which is why I gave 3 stars.

The food and drink was good, albeit pricey. Unfortunately we had a table next to the door, and therefore a constant draft of cold air. Hostesses and people waiting in the foyer were right next to us, so the bright lights, their conversations, the cool air (it was winter) made the whole experience unfavourable. Our server noticed all this, and we chatted about it, but there was no change offered. We would return to give it a second chance though. Just request a table away from the door!

Last night I was finally able to make my way into Underbelly by the Pig. I must say, I was sceptical to try version 2.0 as I was a little confused by the over all concept of Forno on 5th. The Food- Very tasty. (I was dragging my finger through the sauce left on my plate) The service- (Jordan) Perfect, quirky, knowledgeable, and accommodating. To Start: Roasted Cast Iron Potatoes Whipped Feta Mains: Roasted Chicken Porchetta x 2 Lamb Tagine Drink: Empress Sour Privato Pinot Noir It took a pandemic, the various shut downs, the strange street fires, and some time to reflect but I think Team Summers got this one right. It was simply outstanding. Really great job team

Was so excited to finally go. Not nearly enough pork on the menu, based on the name. Pasta was very lacking in flavor as well as the.....what?!....porchettta! When the salad is better than the mains, I have concerns. Service was great, but wont be back for the menu

If not the best, one of the best restaurants in Kamloops. Great service. Great food. Unique twists. The appetizers can be eaten as a main course on their own. You have to try them.

Excellent take-out experience. Staff was accommodating to my dairy allergy and made a meal that tasted great. Awesome steak, perfectly cooked, and the short ribs were excellent as well. Killer potatoes and brussel sprouts. Best meal we ve had in Kamloops.

Went out for a birthday dinner only 3 of us but they couldn t even bother to take our drink order. Walked out after waiting over 15min with not even a check in from anyone or even water, feeling super let down after reading positive reviews. What a disappointment.

We were excited to try this new restaurant and were definitely not disappointed. My husband had the linguine and I had the tuna. Both were outstanding. I really enjoyed the flavor of the harissa sauce and the texture of the Israeli couscous which both paired beautiful with the perfectly seared tuna steak. It was one of the best meals Ive ever had. The service was also excellent. We will definitely be back!

Greatly disappointed at the food served. We ordered the crispy hoisin chicken (which came out not crispy and sadly undercooked), the pizza served to us was super bitter as the bottom was burned AF, the drinks were overly sour and almost undrinkable. Went there because of high and good reviews but actually the place was also very empty. Giving 2 star just for okay customer service.

This is easily my favourite place to eat out downtown Kamloops! The food is always fresh and healthy and the service is impeccable with knowledgeable staff. The ambiance is great for meetings and a girls night out. They are always switching up the menu seasonally to feature local and in season ingredients and I love that they support local farms & purveyors. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an overall amazing foodie / cocktail experience.

Date night on Halloween eve and we were blown away by the new menu. Every single dish was seasoned and cooked to perfection and I had to apologize that I needed a to go box because I didnt want ANYONE thinking I didnt enjoy my main course. But I needed to save some room for dessert and again, we were blown away. Definitely a fabulous experience made all the better by our knowledgeable and delightful server! Well be back for sure.

We booked a reservation for 25 ppl for our Christmas staff party and cannot sing Underbelly s praises enough. The booking process was ridiculously easy - Sara the manager was super accommodating and informative. They had the back room basically booked for us and the staff were all so friendly and engaging. We did the family style service, which was delicious as well as fun and interactive! It was 4 courses and 6 different dishes, and $45 per person. Very good value for quality! I would go back again and again. Vegetarian options: My friend is a vegetarian and had house made pasta, which she said was amazing Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating for allergies and vegetarian options!

Im from out of town and a friend has been wanting to take me to Underbelly since it opened. Last night we finally made it in and the overall experience was good, however my experience was overshadowed by a cold plate. Normally I would raise issue with the server however there had already been a mishap earlier and I didnt want to kill the vibe at our table. My pork belly if warm would have been fantastic, but it was refrigerator cold(not just prepared and left while the other plates are prepared cold). The ambience is great with well spaced out tables and mood lighting. The cocktail menu has good variety and the two I had were well made(bald and beautiful, and fifth ave). Service was ok, two servers for the whole place wasnt enough, although our server was very friendly, professional, and had good knowledge of the menu.

I have yet to dine inside, but from what I could see when I picked up my food, the vibe and decor are both dialed in. We hosted a small retirement party in our home and had the Underbelly cater the food. Zero room for improvement; our dishes were ready on time, the presentation was amazing and taste was even better. Crowd please and the perfect touch to our special evening. Thanks again!

Amazing food and incredible staff. I went in with an allergy that is notoriously difficult to accommodate and the expectation that I d be eating iceberg lettuce and some form of mediocre protein, as per protocol at most restaurants (which I m used to and have no problem with!) BUT, our server took it upon herself to see that I did not eat a sad little salad as she so eloquently put it. Between her and the kitchen, they came up with a mouthwatering meal and experience that I won t soon forget! Highly recommend to anyone and everyone :) PS, for you foodies without allergies, my boyfriend had the carbonara and was thoroughly impressed

Sorry, no photos! Tried it for the first time tonight with a group of 8. Excellent service, beautiful restaurant, food was wonderful. I personally tried the pork belly and shrimp appetizer, steak dinner, couscous salad with tuna, and apple cake dessert. Also had some wine and the gin sour cocktail. Some notes: pork belly in appetizer was slightly overcooked so had a tough/dry texture; the shrimp, however, was done to perfection - plump and juicy and JUST pink. Tuna and couscous had wonderful Mediterranean flavours, but severely under-seasoned. Cocktails were too sweet, entire table had to order half sweet for our second rounds. Overall, would highly recommend this place in Kamloops and we intend to return to try more menu items!

It only got better from there . The food was amazing . The food had full flavour showed up hot , well prepared in presentation and tasted amazing .
