La Belle Patate

The poutine was delicious. One side note they do have a pay phone in case you need to call someone in 80’s.

AWESOME! One of the most interesting eating joints I've ever been to. Their poutine has one of the nicest flavors in the gravy I've ever had - on Wednesdays and Saturdays they have a BBQ version of the gravy that is very different; mildly BBQ, not full on BBQ sauce - definitely worth trying. I had one of their burgers too. Nicely toasted on the grill bun and some of the best grilled onions anywhere. A top notch place to have great experience with food you won't find anywhere else. (Don't forget to have a Spruce Beer!) Definitely two thumbs up for Matti and his crew!

I highly encourage supporting this local business! The poutine options are great. I personally enjoy the loaded steamie along with fries u0026 gravy. Make sure you get their in-house made Spruce Beer (a French Canadian pop). So yummy!! The owner has always been so welcoming to us :)

Best poutine in town. Fresh house made fries and real deal cheese curds. You can’t ask for anything more. The owner is a great guy and his staff are friendly and attentive.

Got a large smoked meat poutine, which was full of cubes of soft, juicy meat chunks. Got a photo of us taken and a Red Champagne for being the first customers of 2023!

A must for visitors (like us from Colorado) and locals alike. If you want delicious, authentic poutine look no further. Plus, the service was immaculate and the owner is so so friendly ! Definitely try the spruce beer (non-alcoholic, think ginger beer or root beer), and you won’t be disappointed. The poutine is the best and the steamie is a perfect little hot dog with all the toppings. Don’t miss this awesome place !

Thee best hamburgers and poutine délicieuse in the city!! Don't even mess with rest. Fresh local ingredients. Friendly, passionate staff/good positive vibes. 😇

I'd been meaning to try this place for longer than I can remember, and upon finally stopping in, I wish I'd done so much sooner. Having seen La Bella Patate recommended countless times, it lived up to the hype completely. The staff were quite friendly, creating a relaxed atmosphere, and the food was great. I ordered a small classic poutine and a spruce beer (if you're on the fence, try the beer) and look forward to returning in order to try a hotdog next. Overall this is a very fairly priced and tasty gem in Esquimalt. Solid 10/10.
