Overall, these reviews describe La Belle Patate as a reliable spot known for generous portions, standout poutine, and delicious smoked meat sandwiches, with a family owned and proudly run vibe and staff who are friendly, attentive, and welcoming; breakfast, lunch, and dinner are well regarded, with many praising the regular value, casual retro vibe, and variety of Quebecois specialties, though a few note cleanliness issues in the washrooms or occasional uneven service at the counter, reminding that high quality and good portions can coexist with opportunities for improvement.
Okay, I absolutely love this place! We decided to try it out randomly, & everything about it has made it our new favourite breakfast spot. The service is great, the waitresses are on the ball & come by at the perfect times (not bothering you mid bite constantly, but also not forgetting you). The atmosphere is very much a greasy breakfast spot vibe, & has a family business vibe as well. Whereas other restaurants I find way too loud, this was perfect. Definitely always has customers, but it's not distractingly loud like some of the other breakfast places nearby. The food is delicious! I keep going back for their breakfast poutines with hollandaise. The prices are not bad at all & you get such big portions! & for the kids, there's a few of those coin machines that have toys, so my son loves it for that reason. He's also extremely picky with food, so it's hard to find something for him to eat at a breakfast place, & we are able to get him potatoes there, & he will eat them! A win in my books, & I will continue to frequent this restaurant.
finding a restaurant that consistently goes above & beyond for their clients is rare these days but that's exactly what you'll get at La Belle Patate! It's a family owned & proudly run business. I've been going there for as long as I can remember. If you're close by, try it out! The staff is friendly, clean & social. Thanks to the staff for always treating me very well! You guys are the best & the food is just phenomenal!
My son & I visited La Belle Patate for the first time & we will definitely be coming back!!!
Where from Ontario & visit Montreal once or twice a year to see family.
When you each got a smoked meat sandwich & shared a medium poutine.
A smoked meat sandwich was absolutely incredible & the poutine was probably the best we've ever had. To say that we were impressed would be a huge understatement!!!
Both Junior & Andy were so incredibly kind & fun to chat with & clearly take pride in the food they prepare. The hostess when we arrived was also very welcoming.
Already looking forward to our next visit!!!

La belle patate never fails to give good quality food & great portions. Ever since I moved here this place has been my go to for poutine ( you have to try Philly steak poutine) the best ! & the subs are great too .
Some would call this type of breakfast spot as a'greasy spoon', but be aware, this is NO greasy spoon. The bench seating is neat & generous, the lighting bright & the food portions generous. A basic breakfast plate consists of two eggs, home fries, bacon & toast. Also, a bottomless cup of coffee.
Unassuming strip mall appearance from the outside, but step inside & you're greeted by a retro lunch counter style restaurant vibe with friendly staff & broad selection of traditional fast food & Québécois specialties.
The quality of the food is high the flavours very good…& the best part?! Real plastic straws!!
Washrooms could use some work.
