“ I had an unreal time dining here at Underbelly. The food is delicious and the service was awesome. The carbonara and the pork belly were so good. I can't wait to come back again! ”
“ 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. ”

“ They have excellent and tasty foods in the menu. The pizza is great and also the pork belly. Its very tender and very good. ”
“ 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. We came here for our anniversary night and had an amazing evening. The food was timed well and we had a wonderful night. Will come back Thank you. ”
“ 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! ”
“ 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! ”
“ 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. ”
