Review from Nathalie R.

I have only ever tried the poutine here. It is decent enough and the portions are more than enough to share with someone. They offer one of the only vegetarian poutines in the city so it is worthy a try if you are vegetarian.
This palce is a chain and has many locations across the city and offers typical dinner foods. -

I normally wouldn't review a chain but this needs to be said.
You need to understand something about La Belle Province; it's a franchised restaurant chain. The chain is owned by Greeks and they sell franchises only to other Greeks. If a non-greek wants a franchise he can purchase it, but the price is likely to be tenfold. Furthermore, once LBP to another the menu can change a little, there are no standards followed so from one LBP to another, quality, product and experience can vary. It can suck or be awesome or anything in between.
This La Belle Province is not owned by Greeks. This La Belle Province is franchise that just doesn't care. You see they managed to get a counter space in Québec's largest food court, in the basement of the Eaton's Center in downtown Montreal. Just having this location guarantees a franchise owner the right to print money.
The owners are obviously in it for the easy money because the food is fucking horrible. Yeah they fucked up hot-dogs, burger and fries.
I went with a friend for a quick meal after work. She had Combo #2, which is 2 dogs, a poutine and a soft drink. I had the cheeseburger combo, with a poutine and a soft drink.
It was during the supper-time rush. My burger patty was a pre-cooked patty warmed over rapidly on the grill; the bun was not toasted, grilled or even steamed. How warm was my burger? By the time I was seated with my tray, the cheese was still cold and un-melted. The slaw had a weird taste. The poutine, a staple food for any self-respecting Québecois, was somewhat warm and tasted bland. The 7up was warm and tasted metallic.
But here's the kicker...
My friend had some dogs remember? Well first of all the buns were not steamed. When I order steamers, I want steamed buns. But then it gets worse... much, much worse. For some reason, my friend's dog flipped over to expose MOLD, FUCKING MOLD on the buns...
So you know it, STAY AWAY FROM THIS RESTAURANT. They don't care about quality, service, their clients, they only care about their profit margin. -

A chain though La Belle Province may be, they're a good spot for a late night fix. Portions are generous enough, though the price is a bit higher than some may like out of a restaurant where the big and greasy are king.

I ordered the corn beed sandwich with a side of poutine. For those who don't know what poutine is, it is fries with cheese curds with gravy on top. IT'S AMAZING!
The sandwich was delicious. I know I said I would never have corn beef again but I couldn't understand the girl since she was speaking in French. I pointed at the picture and asked for poutine on the side.
Awesome combo!
Overall, I give it a corn beef high kick!
