I don’t understand how this place has good reviews either. Sure the flowers are nice, but the prices are way too high and the service is bad. I’m newly into my plant hobby and when visiting the store for the first time, the lady working was unwelcoming and condescending. Don’t expect genuine help when you come here. Save yourself from this store’s pretentiousness and go somewhere else.
I was looking for a bouquet to surprise my partner with and Winona was so helpful in choosing an arrangement perfect for him and our home. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend this florist. Minoo helped my wife and I choose our flowers for our wedding, and we have been coming back ever since. Every time you walk in you are treated like her most important customer.
I found Bel Fiore when I was looking for a place to buy my wedding flowers. Minoo is really nice and welcoming, I always like to chat with her. She does great and original compositions and makes a point to meet your requests and budget. I definitely recommend going there for any flowers or greenery you would need.
We had stated we wanted a $50 arrangement and she rang us up at $70. I had commented on this twice and she made no effort to address it. Very disappointed. The quality of the bouquet in my opinion was 30$.
Amazing service. Highly recommend. My mother was quite happy
Great, friendly, lovely service
The succulents are pretty cheap but contain such little soil that they constantly fall right out of their pots. They're super tiny (cute) but the pots are so small the succulents barely fit!
I went in today looking for a specific plant as a gift, walked in the store and the woman was dealing with another customer but didn't even acknowledge me. I noticed the plant I was looking for right by the door so I went to look at it and the woman yelled at me saying I wasn't allowed to touch anything then went back to the other customer without asking me to wait a minute until she could get to me. I left and found what I wanted at House of Plants just down the street.
Amazing service
Wonderful locally owned shop. You can tell the owners really care about their work. They helped me pick out the perfect arrangement within my budget, which was completely beautiful, and were great to work with. Would highly recommend!
An excellent shop! I am recognized every time I walk in the door, and always receive friendly service. The variety of available flowers is constantly changing, and they can create a beautiful arrangement at any price point.
Thank you Bel Fiore for your prompt and beautiful gift. The flowers I received are so colourful!
I've been a customer at Bel Fiore's for a couple years now. It is my preferred flower shop and in my opinion is by far the best in quality, selection and customer service. Even with my student budget, I've always left with flowers and plants that look amazing and last for a long time. The banana flower pictured is still in my windowsill and was given to me at Valentine's day over a month ago. Minoo is an amazing shop owner that delivers friendly customer service far beyond typical small talk, inquiring about your life and then actually remembering it when next you come in. She is always looking to add new and interesting flowers beyond the classics, which is something I appreciate. My partner and I around anniversaries, birthdays, and valentine's day have to time our visits so that we don't bump into each other and ruin the surprise since both of us always go to Bel Fiore for special occasions. I've also been impressed with the shops rotating selection of indoor plants. I have a sizeable collection of my own and am always looking to check more off my list and Minoo regularly manages to get some in (like the mistletoe cactus pictured) that I haven't seen any other shops carry and which are typically hard to find. In summation, Bel Fiore is the best!
Walked in on a whim the other day and got some soil. Such a pretty store. Great atmosphere. Tons of cute little plants for terrarium gardening!
One of the nicest flower shops in Ottawa: the owner is very knowledgeable when it comes to different types of plants and the variety of plants and flowers that she offers (especially when it comes to cacti) is amazing.
Love Bel Fiore Flowers best shop in the area. Has a great selection of potted plants and cut Bouquets and Minoo was a great.
My first experience with Bel Fiore was amazing! I was on a mission to buy Chinese lantern flowers for a family friend's 70th birthday. After calling many shops, I discovered that Bel Fiore was one of the few that had them this fall. So I …
This is a very distinctive flower shop. There are not only fresh flowers, but also unique dried flowers. Many of the dried flowers are handmade and creative by the owner. The price is affordable and I like the style of the owner very much. You can also DIY your favorite styles in the store. Highly recommended, a must-visit specialty flower shop in Ottawa. ????????????
Spectacular flower and plant selection. Hands down the prettiest flowers I've seen anywhere in Ottawa. You'll be known among friends as the person with the most unique flower bouquets.
Need flowers, friendly staff
Such a bad experience! Both member of the personnel were condescending and rude. The woman told me I was wasting her time because I was wondering if they kept a type of plant in stock I wanted to buy in a few weeks. They lost a potential customer.
Everything you buy from Bel Fiore looks amazing. Just stepping into the shop, you can tell the owner puts a lot of effort into her work. Her arrangements are well-made and beautiful, but most importantly, they're creative! These aren't your standard bouquets and potted plants. From floor to ceiling, there are stunning displays made with the most unique materials --like ostrich eggs, to name one example. Nowhere else in Ottawa can you find such an incredible collection. Best of all, the owner is a wonderful, kind woman. When I made my first terrarium, she gave me all the advice and materials to keep it growing for years to come. A passionate horticulturalist, she truly cares about the arrangements she's selling, and about the people she sells to. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
The owner, Minoo, is simply amazing! Did my wedding flowers 6 years ago and remembered me as soon as I walked in! Her stock is always changing and has gems you won't find anywhere. Such unique flowers and creative concepts. She personalizes every bouquet, unique and gorgeous. I love the quality of her work. She's a staple in the community, a small hidden gem shop. You can call to order but I love the personal experience in going in and taking a look. Completely recommend their services for small and large scale orders, especially if looking for something amazing.
Elgin street would not be the same without its independently owned small businesses and Bel Fiore is the most charming one. The owner and her husband design unique creations and really care about their flowers. I even brought one of their creations with me when I relocated to Europe and I never miss visiting their shop when I come back to Ottawa. You won't get better service and advice than at Bel Fiore.
Mínoo is an amazing person and her flower shop, truly awe-inspiring. Everything, to the tiniest detail, is perfectly curated. A must see in Ottawa
I had a great experience and chat with Minoo today while buying a few gifts for the holidays. As a creator myself, I can really tell that she cares about her flowers and work. Hope that you will get the chance to visit the Charlevoix area in Quebec, Minoo!
Minoo and the team are incredible - our favourite flower shop in town. Creative, tasteful, great variety and the experience can not be beat!
The owner is very personable and you can tell they love what they do. Very knowledgeable of the plant varieties. The arrangements themselves are cute and creative and the selection is great for a shop this size. The plants are reasonably priced, with a range of smaller, affordable options and larger, pricier ones.
Bel Fiore's arrangements are quite unique. This is my favourite flower shop in the city.
We just love Minoo and Bel Fiore! She puts together the most wonderful arrangements!
This store is the best, such an interested and unique collection of flowers and plants. Minoo is an awesome store owner and always super helpful with selection. I just let her pick my purchases for me now.
Minoo makes this shop unique and very special. She has put together some of the most beautiful bouquets for us to present to dear friends during this time! Not only is her service impeccable but her shop is truly a gem in our neighborhood! Support local and you will be very pleased! She is an amazing florist with a personal touch. Highly recommended
An absolutely beautiful arrangement for my mother on her birthday. The storefront is inviting and lush. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to fill a room or a loved one with joy:)
I have been a client of Bel Fiore for a few years now. What started off as a professional contact has changed over that time to a personal one. Most recently Minoo was there to help me make an arrangement for a couple close to me who were going through a personal loss. The arrangement that arrived was a beautiful mix of cut flowers and living plants. The arrangements I see in her window always catch my eye, and I have learned a lot from her as we discuss arrangements for various occasions. She listens to my wishes & then helps me figure out a way to fit it in my budget. Bel Fiore is a small shop but they have a lot of unique arrangements and flowers. We’ll worth the visit!
The flowers and plants here are gorgeous. I highly recommend them! The owner is lovely and full of great decorating ideas. The flowers last for ages and the owner will explain how to make sure everything stays fresh for as long as possible.
Paid $56 for 6 roses on valentines day and were completely dead within 3 days
The ONLY place, when in Ottawa, I get flowers! Beautiful and unique!
Beautiful flowers
Very charming, rustic-looking shop, but unfortunately *very* poor customer service. I visited the shop for the first time a few weeks ago and was greeted by a woman who I believe to be the owner. When I asked about the pricing of some of the succulents she barked "No pricing! No prices listed. You ask me for the prices." When I inquired about a small succulent, I learned the price was $40 (I have recently paid $7 for the same plant at Herb and Spice!) This lady was very abrupt in her manner and I felt rushed and shooed out of the shop after purchasing one of the few more reasonably priced plants that were on sale. I understand that this very small shop only admits entry of one customer at a time (due to Covid-19 restrictions) but this is not an excuse for brash, ill-mannered behavior. I spent a total of 5 minutes in this shop and will not be going back!
Love visiting Minoo at Bel Fiore for any occasion! She comes up with the most stunning arrangements every time - one of a kind! I also love how involved she is in our Golden Triangle/Ottawa community. Support local businesses! Side note- her wonderful husband makes many of the vases that she sells in her shop, he too is extremely artistic and crafty!! (see photo!)
Wow! Such quick delivery of a lovely bouquet for my best friend. The staff is so friendly and helpful and the arrangements are unique, tasteful and reasonably priced. Thanks!
Phenomenally creative and wonderfully long-lasting flower arrangements. Minoo is not just a florist, she's an artist!
Bel Fiore is unlike any other flower shop in Ottawa. The shop is warm, inviting and has real heart, and this is a direct reflection of the wonderful owner, Minoo. I have been going to Bel Fiore for 4 years now, and Minoo always puts together arrangements that are beautiful, unique, thoughtful, and within budget. You can also find antiques and charming ornaments here, and each piece has been sourced locally or crafted by hand. Compassionate and incredibly caring, Minoo will take the time to get to know you as a customer. This kind of service is incredibly rare, and I would recommend Bel Fiore to everyone!
If in doubt, buy her some flowers.
An excellent assortment of plants! One of the best sources of succulents in Ottawa, and the owner's extremely helpful service makes my visits even better!
A plant & flower shop in a very nice location. The place is nice & large. The price is reasonable there. A good collection. The staff is very friendly & helpful.
Beautiful flowers with outstanding customer service and delivery. Patti S.
The iris terrarium is beautiful!
Independent and enthusiastic owner, very cozy store and atmosphere, wide selection of plants, flowers, and unique vases. There's always something new when I walk in.
Lovely florist. She is open Sundays (only one around that I could see when i needed a gift last minute on a Sunday). She helped me pick something in my price range ($30) and wrapped it lovely for the cold weather. I'll be back next time i am in town. I bought a bouquet but her succulent plants are amazing and tiny and beautiful!!
The owner was very generous in helping me buy an arrangement for my boss. She made a beautiful arrangement with her favourite flyers and made sure it was to my budget. I will be back again!
Bel Fiore has very fresh, good quality flowers that last for weeks! Selection is great, with unique things not found elsewhere. Customer service is always stellar too! My favorite flower shop for sure, highly recommended.
Minoo (owner) has a way with her craft. She is attentive to her clients and always, always kind. Bel Fiore has been my favourite flower shop for the last decade! The bouquets are creative and tailored to the occasion. Keep this gem alive and pay her a visit!
Minoo is lovely, pleasant and helpful! Twice I've ordered online to send gifts to friends. She wants her customers to be happy and I felt as though she went out of her way to make sure my plant needs were met. The plants were delivered the same day or next day and my friends loved them! 10/10 would recommend.
We have purchased our flowers from Bel Fiore for... Forever! Best customer service and product in all of Ottawa
My friend ordered me flowers from here recently because I was going through a tough time, and the woman working there was so sweet to me when I went to pick them up that I swore I would only give my business to this flower shop in Ottawa in the future! She was very talented - my arrangement was absolutely beautiful. Not sure what my friend paid, but she swears by this place too. I would highly recommend it!
The owner is very helpful and passionate about the plants and her store. She is very friendly every time I go in and always helps me find the perfect plant. She helped me find a gift for my father that fit exactly what I was looking for, even when I wasn't sure what I initially wanted to get him. The prices can be a bit high but not unreasonable for a local shop so it is worth the price. I always go back here.
Bel Fiore has been my local florist for almost 10 years. They are magical, unusual and beautiful arrangements.
I've received a white rose arrangement, they were beautiful and smelled good and lasted a long time. Very satisfied with them.
The most lovely little shop on elgin with amazing service and wonderful flowers. Like the previous review says, they really make you feel like family.
A wonderful shop with a wonderful fleuriste to help you design a wonderful arrangement. I can fully recommend! My bouquets are always impressive, and my centrepieces are always the centre of attention! Thank you.
Beautiful arrangement every time we order. Fresh flowers beautifully arranged. Thank you Bel Fiore for help making my Mothers Birthday special
thanks for the beautiful tulips and keeping my space fresh with your flowers every week. You are a true artist.
Thank you Minoo once again for another lovely arrangement!
This is a great place to get truly unique flowers and plants in Ottawa, every time I go I find something I’ve never seen before! The owner is very knowledgeable and all the arrangements I’ve gotten have been so beautiful!
Lovely store with lovely and passionate owners.
Simply the best. Caring, inventive, local....you just couldn't ask for a better experience.
Minoo has been our florist for the last 16 years. We first met her when we were consulting with her about the floral arrangements for our wedding. Minoo exceeded our expectations as she created beautifully elegant bouquets and centrepieces. Since our wedding Minoo has really become part of our lives and every celebration. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of plants and flowers. She is a talented artist who puts together original floral arrangements that engage all the senses. We love visiting Minoo and admiring the fanciful and creative window displays and arrangement in her charming shop. She is the only florist we recommend to our friends and family.
Unique designs, good value and always a great experience. A small business owner that truly the customer experience. Let Bel Fiore bring some floral creations into your home!
I always walk out happy every time! The owner is a sassy lady full of character!
Bel Fiore is an absolute neighbourhood gem! An independent, creative and friendly florist shop downtown on Elgin Street. If you are looking for top quality flowers in a very wide variety this is the place for you. I buy regularly from this charming shop and I have never been disappointed. I bought a stunning bunch of lilies over a week ago and they are still looking gorgeous with a few buds still to open.
Extremely abrasive service.
Great little flower shop!
The first time I was drawn into Bel Fiore (years ago) was because of a stunning artistic understated yet dramatic floral arrangement. It was a piece of art. Since then I return again and again…often at the last minute for personal arrangements for our home entertaining. I also collaborate often with Minoo for dramatic arrangements for my design client photo shoots or arrangements for special occasions. Minoo has personality, flair and passion and truly listens to your needs….I applaud her artistic gift. I am especially thankful that such a blessing to ottawa has survived through very difficult years due to Elgin Street renovations followed by Covid closures. Let’s support the best of Ottawa. Kim Teron
I have bought flowers from here for many years, The variety of flowers and their quality is always great.
My go-to florist. Always unique and interesting flowers and plants. Greatly appreciate Owner's Covid safety procedures since this is a small shop. Your patience will be rewarded with excellent customer service and a beautiful floral arrangement to enjoy.
Stunning, as usual!! Thank you Minoo for your beautiful work.
Minoo is an excellent florist, both in terms of quality and service. Every time I need flowers for a special occasion I go to see her. She always prepares a custom arrangement based on what I am looking for. She also has an uncanny ability to remember details about her customers, which truly makes Bel Fiore feel like a neighbourhood flower shop. Could not recommend her more!
Best flower shop in Ottawa. I have been buying flowers here for over a decade and have never been disappointed. Minoo (The owner) is incredibly passionate about her shop and providing a wonderful experience and it shows. It always feels great to support this great locally owned business and the quality is beyond reproach!
Great local shop with a wide selection of fresh flowers. Minoo is very caring and super helpful in picking out a bouquet for any occasion!
Beautiful shop but HORRIBLE service. I couldn't believe how rude the owner was, for no apparent reason.
Beautiful arrangements very unique and creative, Minoo is very kind and understanding and we always have a good laugh. Amazing customer service, always friendly and polite... Keep up the great work, Linda
If your looking for that unique arrangement that will be the "talk of the office" or "just want to make someone feel extra special" - then Bel Fiore is the place that your looking for !!!! You will not be disappointed, flowers will be fresh and the arrangement will be exceptional :)
Please do not bother with this flower shop, there are better ones in Ottawa *cough* nectar flowers *cough* The lady is very stuck up and rude. If you don’t look rich she will speak down to you. Asked for a simple bouquet of flowers and she kept discouraging me from making the bouquet bigger. I threw my clothing together in the dark so I knew I was not dressed nice enough but to this extent? Imagine walking into any fancy clothing store and the store employees looking down on your and assuming you can’t afford anything? Its that but for a flower store. By the way I am a young adult and people love to make assumptions about different generations.
Ordered the hand tied bouquet. Flowers were beautiful and delivered on a very timely basis.
Me: Enters store Lady while staring at the wall and not making eye contact: What are you looking for? (No hi, no welcome, no good day, nothing) Me: not sure yet, let me take a look around Lady: .... Me: do you have any plants that kids can take care of? Lady: How much light does the room have ? Me: very bright room Lady: How old ? Me: 6 Lady pointing to a corner - pick what you want from the three types of prickly cactuses I have. The shop was so welcoming and unbelievably friendly that I will never return. Not to mention they are also so well in tune with needs of customers of all ages - cactuses for 6 yr olds.
A quick word to express my gratitude to Bel Fiore's owner, Minoo, for her incredible creativity, her artistry and her ability to translate my not-so-well-formulated ideas into pieces of beauty. I have been a regular for more than 13 years and I highly recommend her as a florist. She is a gem.
Best flowers and arrangements! The owner is fantastic, she always gives great recommendations and is an amazing designer!
The staff at Bel Fiore flowers were lovely and they even sent me a thank you email after I picked up my order! I bought eucalyptus from them for my shower, and have been loving it - I can't wait to shop with them again soon. Highly recommend for any of your flower or plant needs!
Beautiful flowers and arrangements delivered as promised, on time, and with love and care. I can't say enough good things about Bel Fiore, not to mention their extremely user-friendly webpage -- even an old man like me can figure out how to use it!
Lots of knowledge and willing to share.
Bel Fiore has the most exquisite range of unique floral treasures that no other floral boutique could come close to. I am based in Australia, and have been privileged to get Minoo's help on multiple occasions with the seamless facilitation …
Lovely arrangement for my daughter's first birthday. Minoo always comes up with amazing creations to compliment her great service.
Wonderful and personalized experience. Flowers were beautiful lasted close to a month! Delivery was timely and Minoo was incredibly friendly. Thanks!
I absolutely love going to Bel Fiore. The owner is incredibly welcoming and wants you to walk out of her shop with exactly what you’re looking for. She never ceases to amaze me with her creations. Thank you so much for all your amazing work! See you soon!
Fantastic service, beautiful arrangements, and very fresh flowers. We had some special requests that Bel Fiore managed perfectly. Adore this shop!
My favourite place to go to for plant/flower shopping. Have only been in a hand full of times but I feel like they treat me like a regular! They were out of a product I purchased online, and not only did they apologize and provide several other options, but they also gave me a discount due to the situation. If you're looking for the most unique cacti in Ottawa or for some friendly customer service, this is the spot for you.
I have been shopping here for many years and the quality of the flowers and plants are second to none. I have learned so much as well from the owner about the flowers and plants. Her arrangements are so original and beautiful. Every time that I have sent one of her arraignments to friends, they have absolutely loved them. The last point is how long lasting the flowers are. I guess that is due to the quality and how fresh her cut flowers are. I can’t say enough about this store and the owner. Wonderful place and wonderful owner.
I regularly get flowers from Bel Fiore, and each and every time I go I am blow away by the arrangement. Minoo does an excellent job of tailoring the bouquet to my needs and the occasion. My expectations are surpassed each and every time. The arrangments are always original, creative and stunningly beautiful. I don't buy flowers anywhere else.
I love this store! Amazing selection of both flowers, plants, and accessories! And the prices are very fair. And the proprietor is friendly and knowledgeable!
Thanks for the beautiful bouquet and fast service.
Minoo is always so friendly and helpful when trying to plan something special for someone. Her bouquets and arrangements are never less than stunning. She is always my go to for any event needing something special.
The custom personalized arrangements are always creative and gorgeous. And the service is outstanding. I really can't recommend Bel Fiore highly enough.
Minoo designed our flowers for our wedding and they couldn't have been more perfect. She takes such care in everything she does -- all of the extra touches are so special!
I have had wonderful experiences every time I go to Bel Fiore the service is warm and loving and decorated beautifully and might I add my dog loves visiting as well now that he knows she keeps a jar of dog cookies in the back. I have bought several cactuses and airplants from Minoo and they are doing wonderfully. My airplant bloomed and became a beautiful bright red with absolutely stunning flowers. Now that it's cycle has ended it is producing two new baby air plants (pups) ! I love this place and will always come to Bel fiore for my flower/cactus/airplant needs :) Highly recommended!
It is no exaggeration to say that the personal expression of flowers is as satisfying as a good expresso or a fine wine. My choice is Bel Fiore where Minoo helps me assemble a bouquet from her wide variety of flowers, both pleasing and original. In her store, it is always a pleasure to peek into her glass case to check out the latest for new and different ideas.
Purchased the small $50 make your own arrangement and it was beautiful! Plenty of flowers! Highly recommend. I live outside of Ottawa so I contacted the store before purchase and the owner was very friendly, helpful and honest. I will definitely use this shop for all of my future Ottawa flower orders!
Always pleasant to go to Belf Fiore Flowers and brows the flowers, the plants and the bouquets. Each time I left the design to her, she surprised me. She is keeping it up while it's not the easiest time to run a small business. Kudos to all her hardwork.
Love this shop. Got a lovely plant this weekend and the service I got was excellent. Thank you for having the purple shamrock I have been wanting for so long.
The best, greenest florist in Ottawa. I will only buy my flowers here. Not only are the flowers beautiful, the service exceptional but the owners are ecologically-minded. Thank you, Bel Fiore! 5 Stars!
Bel Fiore offers unique flower arrangements that bring joy into any home. Minoo has a passion for plants and flowers - you can trust her to listen to what you are looking for, and she will bring forth something creative and magical for you to purchase!
Bel Fiore is the best flower shop in Ottawa, period. Every time I buy flowers there, I am amazed at how fresh and beautiful the flowers are. And the arrangements and bouquets are so artistic. These people are flower artists. Still, the bouquets are very reasonably priced. For every day flowers or for an event, don't hesitate to visit their shop on Elgin or simply call them.
Thank you Minoo for another gorgeous arrangement and excellent customer service!
Bel Fiore flowers are beautiful. After receiving some amazing flowers for my birthday I opted for the surprise option for some hand tied bouquets ????. They are so lovely and a way to introduce me to new color combinations and flowers. Thank you. The florist goes above and beyond to ensure the flowers arrive quickly and perfectly!
