We had seen The Belle's Bistro every time we went to the grocery store in Belle Plaine and always…read morewondered what the food was like. Last night, we happened to be in the area and wanted dinner, so we decided to pop in and see what it was about. It was GREAT. It's hard to believe that the building is a former McDonald's - you walk in and there are white linen tablecloths, fine glassware, candles, and little flower vases. It is definitely a fine dining experience. And then we had the food. My husband had the Smoky Porkchop with the citrus rice. The pork chop was perfectly cooked and the citrus rice was incredibly tasty (I stole a mouthful!). I had the chimichurri steak with the garlic mashed potatoes. The chimichurri is a little sweeter than a traditional Argentine chimichurri, but that was a good thing. It was different and unexpected, but it completely worked. Service was attentive and our waiter was very good. It is a family-owned business, and it's great to see the generations working together to make the restaurant run. Thank you to The Belle's Bistro for a wonderful weeknight dinner. We will be back for date night!

Suzette's is probably the best restaurant that you've never visited. That should change…read more Suzette's is a quiet, modest looking stop off of 169 just south of Jordan, and easily missed as drive between the Cities and Mankato. My recommendation: plan to enjoy a delicious dinner at make plans to stop. Suzette's is a family owned restaurant serving up high quality cuisine with a focus on surf, turf, and exquisite pasta dishes with an European flair. Suzette's owner and chef is Banrith Yong, who has quite the heartbreaking and resilient story of emigrating from Cambodia. It's worth the read on their website, trust me (suzettesrestaurantmn.com). Short story is that he is classically trained and you can tell from the food and presentation. Back to the food... Banrith makes homemade soups and salad dressings and seeks out fresh veggies for his dishes. AND, can't forget to praise the desserts - made in house by their daughter Lena, who owns her own business (Lemon & Von), specializing in crepe cakes. It's not a cheap night out, but it's also not expensive for food of this quality. I find the prices are approachable and good value for the tastes and treats of the meal you'll receive. I've read some of the negative reviews that keeps this from being 5 stars overall. Those reviews frustrate me. No, it's not a glitzy pretentious French restaurant. But this is an emigrant, family owned, heart forward, delish and tasty treasure for the SW metro. We have been patrons for the past few years after finally making a stop... so glad we did! We hope this family business thrives - visit and enjoy on your next dinner out in the SW Metro area!

The food was bad but he suffered through it because I was nagging him to eat more. I ate my dinner because I thought it would encourage him to eat. The seafood tasted old, the steak was cold and slimy. We both ate our food thinking the other person was enjoying their food. We should have said something to each other at the time. This morning my husband was nauseous and almost vomited when we were talking about the meal. I'm not the sort of person that complains about a bad meal, but this was one of the worst I've eaten. On top of all this, we did not feel welcomed. We will not go back.

Best Asian food in Belle Plaine!!…read more Discovered this gem a couple months back with my boyfriend who lives in town and we get it once a week now! My favorites are the barbecue pork bahn mi (it's so good) and the chicken fried rice! Ruben sandwich is also very good. Small business right in downtown and owned by a kind woman who is always there and cooks everything herself to order. Has seating room but we typically take to go. Bathroom is clean and tidy. But seriously try the bahn mi!!! It comes w the delicious pork, sliced cucumber and jalapeños, yummy garlic Mayo on a very crisp bun and a side of pickled carrot/radish that is amazing on the sandwich!! She also has siracha and chili oil self serve that are great additions.

Boxes stacked against the wall, some partially opened and haphazard. The bathroom was cold and dirty. What really p*issed me off is I bought a bottle of pop from the cooler. When I opened it later, down the road, in the car, it was FLAT. A brand new bottle of pop, flat. I checked the date on the bottle and it said 2022. Seriously?? I wasted a few dollars on a flat bottle of pop from two years ago. GROSS. So, how old was the bacon I ate?

The bad: Beware of what you're ordering. We walked in for lunch and it looked like we were inconveniencing them. One of the staff literally sat at the bar for a few minutes staring at us before going on the other side to serve us. They clearly didn't want people in the bar area even though it was open. I ordered a bloody and it came in a small cocktail glass, not a pint glass like pictured, with an olive and a pickle. Which wasn't a big deal since I didn't order a done up one, but when I noticed it was $8.50 due to an up charge for Tito's (which makes sense) I felt like I was in the city. I then ordered a Windsor 7 and it was served in a pint glass. I was happily surprised it came in a larger glass and felt they had redeemed themselves.... until the bill came. Without ordering it "tall" or a double I was uncharged $1.50 for it being tall. All I'll say is if you order drinks here make sure you are specific or the staff will take advantage and up-charge you.

Here's my review of the food we ordered: Cocktail of the hour - aka "Golden Hour" - 8.5/10 Reminded me of mulled cider, notes of honey, very refreshing Pork Belly Steam Buns - 8.1/10 Nice texture, very tender and flavorful Mini Banh Mi - 7/10 Not bad, would have preferred the more traditional pork filling Crispy Chicken- 8.7/10 This really surprised me, from appearance the chicken didn't look that special but it was well seasoned and the sweet chili glaze really stole the show and elevated this dish! Mirabelle Smash Burger - 8.9/10 I'm a sucker for smash burgers and this one did not disappoint. Nice crispy bun and a special mustard sauce that we enjoyed and a different flavor I don't usually have on my burger Sticky Ribs - 5/10 Unfortunately these were quite dry and was comparing to sticky ribs I had last week at CoV that were fall off the bone Overall good spot, service, atmosphere, and would be happy to return. Prices were also great for happy hour.

Very close to the lake(walking distance) There is a free parking ramp right behind the building. The decor of this place is cute! The details seem like they were well thought out! It feels upscale and cozy! I saw a video of this place and that was what originally drew me in! The seating here is also comfortable and not over crowded. Our server was ok. I saw so many raves about the "amazing service." She did refill our water glasses, which was good because I needed it with the salty steak! Obviously the most important piece is the food. We started with the popovers. The taste was fine but the texture was almost over done. The honey butter was lacking honey flavor. Cinnamon would have really elevated the butter! I got the steak frites and my sister got the spaghetti. My fries were average. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium all the way through! I was impressed. However, it was drowning in a VERY salty sauce! I had push a lot of it off. This should be served on the side, not covering the whole steak. My sister got the spaghetti, which our waitress explained was not a regular spaghetti. I feel she has probably had to do that multiple times and honestly, it should just be renamed. It's confusing for the customer. My sister did say she enjoyed the dish and that the shrimp was ere done well. For dessert I got "Aunties iced latte" which is their version of like an espresso martini. It was just ok. Would not get again. We got the carrot cake which was good!! But then they ruined it by putting fake whipped cream.... This is supposed to be a higher end restaurant and that made the dessert feel so cheap. We also got the creme brûlée. DO NOT ORDER THAT! It is an absolute waste of money! The sugar top was so thick we couldn't eat it! The dessert had the consistency of scrambled eggs, not a smooth custard. The taste seemed ok, but whoever made this does not know what they are doing! Overall, the food was not memorable and a lot of it was done poorly. There are definitely better restaurants in the area.
