What La Belle Patate is known for
Montreal-style poutinerie at 1215 Davie Street in Vancouver's Davie Village, opened by transplanted Montrealers. The menu runs to more than 40 poutine variations plus steamies and Montreal smoked meat sandwiches, with recurring specials like Sunday's ham-bacon-maple poutine.
La Belle Patate is a counter-service poutine shop at 1215 Davie Street in Vancouver's Davie Village, opened by owners originally from Montreal who brought the province's poutine culture west. True to its Quebec roots, the shop makes each order fresh — hand-cut fries, fresh cheese curds, and a vegetarian gravy base — rather than working from one fixed recipe, letting the menu run past forty distinct poutine combinations instead of a single classic version. Beyond poutine, the menu keeps other Quebec diner staples: the 'steamie,' a steamed hot dog dressed with mustard, onion and relish, and a Montreal smoked-meat sandwich. Daily specials rotate through themes such as Philly cheesesteak poutine on Fridays and a ham, bacon and maple syrup version on Sundays. The interior leans into hockey fandom, with memorabilia on the walls and games running on the televisions, giving the small counter a sports-bar energy despite tight seating.
