Best Dinner Places to Eat in Bel Air

"Located on W 36th Street in the heart of Hampden, The Food Market is a smartly designed industrial-modern space that focuses on simple, serious comfort food, providing an unparalleled dining experience. Headed up by award-winning Chef Chad Gauss, the restaurant presents value-driven menus for dinner during the week and for brunch over the weekends, focusing on serving sustainable cuisine produced from locally sourced and farm-fresh ingredients. Brunch menus feature delights such as Amish soft pretzels, French toast dippers, red quinoa oatmeal, fried oysters carbonara, avocado and smoked salmon toast, and blueberry pancakes."

"My routine during quarantine has been for every 2-3 dinners that I cook, I grab carryout from one of my favorite spots, and that includes, of course, The Food Market. Their menu has been changing almost daily, but I can always expect to see some of my favorite dishes including the Amish Soft Pretzels, Roasted Beef Short Ribs, and Buffalo Pickles. Chef Chad and the team have also been throwing in some surprises with the occasional dinner special (last week there was a $20 crab cake)."

"I was visiting from out of town recently, and found this fresh and delicious place!. A seafood restaurant with a southern twist!. I had the best whiskey drink..."

"If you’re an art fan, make sure to check out Gertrude’s, a classic little restaurant located inside the Baltimore Museum of Art. Enjoy house-made soda flavours, such as blood orange or ruby red grapefruit, while enjoying an internationally renowned collection of 19th century sculpture on a serenely elegant patio. Charming décor and a relaxing ambiance provides the perfect backdrop for upscale Chesapeake cuisine, such as oysters on a half-shell or their renowned cream of crab soup."

"The Eastern Shore inspired Gertrude’sis named after owner and “chief cook and bottle washer” John Shields’s granny (do we see a trend here?). The beautiful patio is on the edge of the BMA’s Wurtzburger Sculpture Garden. The outdoor patio at Gertrude’s sits on the edge of The Wurtzburger Sculpture Garden at the BMA, shown above."

"Gertrude’s, in the Baltimore Museum of Art, has served as a bastion of local, farm-fresh Chesapeake Bay cuisine for more than two decades. Diners here rave about consistently good ..."

"Whether for a boozy lunch or starting a night out, Clavel’s combination of tacos, ceviches, and agave-based cocktails provides the perfect backdrop to catching up with friends. Founded by the person behind treasured Baltimore speakeasy, W.C. Harlan, this family-owned taqueria and mezcaleria takes pride in its Sinaloan heritage, handmade tortillas, and bartenders trained in mezcal distilling."

"The Bygone is a bar and lounge located on the top floor of the Four Seasons Hotel in the Harbor East neighborhood. It’s Instagrammable not only for its 1920’s-style, glitzy decor, but for its beautiful view of the city from its patio and floor-to-ceiling windows. The Bygone also has some strong cocktails with nice presentation, made to be photographed before they’re enjoyed."

"Bygone, located on International Drive in the Harbor East neighborhood, offers an eclectic mix of old Baltimore with a modern edge. It is an American gastro bistro that blends hip,..."

"Although the city’s harbor location and access to the Chesapeake Bay make it a prime spot for fresh seafood, many of Baltimore’s restaurants are vegetarian-friendly. You wouldn’t necessarily expect an Afghan restaurant to be a top recommendation in that department, but Helmand’s menu is evenly balanced between roasted meats and vegetables, and the stand-out dishes are on the vegetarian side. Don’t miss the kaddo borwani (baked baby pumpkin with sugar and garlic sauce), the aushak (Afghan ravioli with leeks), and the fluffy naan."

"Baltimore is not one of your more cosmopolitan cities, so we like to point out that the Helmand is owned by the brother of the president of Afghanistan. Everyone comes to this Mount Vernon storefront restaurant for its sautéed baby pumpkin starter, kaddo borawni, that could get itself elected mayor, but there are any number of succulent lamb-based entrees. I took a look at the prices recently – they've barely budged in 25 years."

"But we also have vegetarian and vegan-friendly options that are just as delicious and well-loved. We’ve selected a few of our favorite restaurants with plant-based and meatless dishes for you to check out. And don’t miss Maryland Vegan Restaurant Week each year when even more restaurants are challenged to promote healthier diets, reduce animal cruelty and save the environment."

"A photo posted by Emily Hu (@emily_whooo) on May 9, 2015 at 4:59pm PDT. Ejji Ramen may be the new kid on the block at Belvedere Market, but it’s quickly become THE place for ramen in Baltimore. Ejji uses super fresh and high quality ingredients, and allows you to customize your bowls however you like it."

"At Ejji Ramen in Belvedere Square, go for the tonkatsu ramen, a hearty and flavorful bowl of pulled pork, scallions and noodles, served with a miso-marinated soft-boiled egg, in rich pork broth. Belvedere Square, 529 E. Belvedere Ave., Govans."

"Pitango Fells Point has been churning gelato and sorbet on location since 2007. It was the first of six Pitango locations to open, and sources fresh milk, cream and eggs from an organic farm in Pennsylvania. Pitango focuses on simple flavors and high-quality ingredients, favoring single-origin chocolate and real fresh fruit over artificial colors and flavorings."

"A photo posted by Spoon University Loyola (@spoonuniversity_loyola) on Sep 27, 2015 at 11:14am PDT. While Pitango Gelato’s flavors are more classic and tame, that doesn’t mean their quality is any less. This healthier alternative to ice cream is creamy and delicious, and will no doubt have you coming back for more."

"Every batch of gelato and sorbet from this Fell’s Point shop is churched fresh every day. Google Map Directions here."

"Sabina-Mattfeldt’s Jupiter’s Ice Cream, located at 1405 Forge Ave., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the spot to score ice cream, frozen yogurt and more 4.5 stars out of 56 reviews."

"Speaking of Taharka Brothers, this ice cream shop near the Cylburn Arboretum serves their ice cream year round!. (This is the former location of Uncle Wiggly’s). Google Map Directions here."

"Another one of my favorite lists of cafés in the Baltimore area, this café specializes in desserts. They sell pastries, coffee, bubble tea, and frozen yogurt. The service here is really quick, but the seating is minimal, a few couches and a few two people tables."

"A photo posted by Megan (@soupppyyy) on Mar 11, 2015 at 5:45pm PDT. This modern, family-friendly froyo shop serves up six delicious flavors and a LOT of toppings. (49 different types to be exact) If froyo isn’t your thing, don’t panic."

"While cafes half as popular as this Reservoir Hill fixture discourage lingering in hopes of turning your table, the Dovecote crew goes out of its way to make sure you don't skedaddle. But the warm family vibe extends well past the hospitality into the eats. The baked goods are especially appealing, including all manner of sticky buns and muffins and the sought-after peach upside-down cake (co-owner Gilda Pew's secret recipe)."

"Located in the historically Black neighborhood of Reservoir Hill, this shop runs itself as a community-focused third space first and a cafe second. A standout in the local coffee scene, Dovecote Cafe is high-energy, one of the great cultural hub cafes in America today. From the outside the space is instantly striking, with former display windows from the building’s pharmacy days now forming an alcove entryway."

"Discover local personalities, learn from in-house workshops and taste hand-crafted food and drink offerings at Dovecote Café. This Black-owned business near Druid Hill Park typically serves as a gathering place for creatives and makers alike. Sit down, try upside down cake or a breakfast burger and endure the welcoming space full of colorful murals made by Baltimoreans."

"The lime green exterior of Spring Cafe signals a new arrival to the Avenue. Inside, owner Rose Ebadi and her parents, former physicians, are serving up tea and cuisine from their native Afghanistan. “In Afghanistan, green tea is really big,” Ebadi said."

"And while you're there, visit the Walters Art Museum; admission is free and the art spans the ages, from the third millennium B.C.E. to the early 20th century. Once you get hungry, hit Charles Street:There's Afghani food like sweet, pan-fried baby pumpkin at The Helmand (also the very historic site of my very first date) and the pillow-iest gnocchi ever at Sotto Sopra. The restaurant hosts opera nights, where you'll be serenaded with live performances as you eat a multi-course dinner."

"Visitors to the Baltimore Museum of Art will be pleased to find a museum full of works from the 19th century to contemporary times.

Don't forget to take a stroll through the sculpture garden, which is set on nearly three landscaped acres."

"Editors’ note: Closed in 2018… This museum of pop culture is oozing with Americana. Parents can stroll down memory lane as they get up-close with childhood favorites from their toy box. School-aged kids should go nuts for the collection of vintage comic books and super hero memorabilia."

"Camden Street Baltimore, MD 21201 (410) 625-7060http://www.geppismuseum.com/. Geppi’s Entertainment Museum has changing exhibitions. Until the end of 2010, you can see an exhibit on zombies, for example."
