Applications for Quintelicious Belleville 2026 Now Open

Discover Belleville in partnership with the Downtown Belleville Improvement Association (DBIA) is pleased to announce that applications are now open for Quintelicious Belleville 2026, which will run from Monday, March 23 to Sunday, April 19.

Local dine‑in restaurants are invited to take part in this prix-fixe culinary program showcasing the creativity, talent, and flavours of Belleville’s thriving food scene.

This Spring, Quintelicious will inspire residents and visitors to explore seasonal dishes crafted by restaurants across the city. With major events such as the Quinte Home & Cottage Show, multiple sporting tournaments and a full schedule of Belleville Senators home games taking place during this period, participating restaurants will benefit from increased visitation and a timely opportunity to highlight their curated fixed‑price menus.

Discover Belleville, the City's tourism brand is also pleased to welcome the Culinary Tourism Alliance and Regional Tourism Organization 9 – South Eastern Ontario as marketing partners. Their support includes a special promotional contest designed to promote the event across the province and attract "foodies" to Belleville.

“While this time of year is typically quieter for restaurants, Quintelicious Belleville provides a meaningful opportunity to boost dining traffic and spotlight our culinary community,” said Michelle Lochan, Tourism Specialist, Belleville Economic Development. “With thousands of visitors expected for tournaments, expos, and Belleville Senators home games, it’s the perfect moment for restaurants to shine. Success is a team effort and we’re excited to work with local restaurateurs to bring this years’ experience to life.”
