"Try La Belle Province, a Montréal-based fast-food franchise that, like most other steamie spots, specializes in the twin pleasures of hot dogs and poutine."
"What I rediscovered was a thing of beauty. The fries seemed to be perfectly built to handle the cheese and gravy, while the curds retained their squeakiness even while melting in the gravy. The gravy itself played a perfect role, adding moisture and meaty flavor to the mix without being overly salty. It was all made even better because of the giant plate the poutine was served on, giving me the ability to eat the perfect balance in every bite."

"So we went looking for some poutine. I read this article from the McGill newspaper, and La Belle Province was the most convenient. For those that don't know, poutine is an order of fries with cheese curds and gravy on top... a supposed specialty around here. This was actually really good... Fries had a lot of potato flavor, cheese was melted all over. All the artery-clogging factors that make something good. Mmm."

"It's not a visit to Quebec without a poutine. Sinfully delicious."

"This classic needs to be mentioned – sitting at the intersection of Montreal’s nightlife central, it’s where Montreal-style hot dog was invented! Come taste history."
"In a city obsessed with elevating old-school comforts to ridiculous heights—$20 fried chicken, brie and duck confit grilled cheese—it’s refreshing to find a retro hot dog joint that honours the trashy simplicity of the ’50s staple: the Montreal-style steamed hot dog, affectionately known in La Belle Province as the steamie."
"And with EVERYTHING you might choose to do in Montréal this summer, be sure to top it off with an infamous steamie from La Belle Province. I swear those hot dogs are worth the trip alone."
"Ordering hot dogs here doesn't require much thought - always get at least two, all dressed (mustard, relish, onions and cabbage) with a poutine and a drink. Plain, simple, cheap and really, really delicious."
"We invite you to go on a road trip, to discover the best poutines at the Belle Province."

"The poutine was authentic and made right in front of you. Gooey gravy and chunky curds add some thick savoury flavour to the steaming hot fries. The decor is unassuming and emphasises that this is a genuine local eatery. There were quite a few poutine options with additional toppings."
"Authentic poutine, this is where locals gather after a night of drinking with friends to enjoy a real, authentic Quebec poutine"
