La Belle Tonki is all about family and good friends
We’re two childhood friends, both named Michel. In 2017, we took over Mitch’s mom’s restaurant, which she had run for 14 years, becoming a true neighborhood staple.

Mitch
To keep things simple, Miche is in the kitchen (on the left) and Mitch handles the service (on the right). Our restaurant, La Belle Tonki, is the little sister of the late Belle Tonkinoise, which sadly closed down due to the pandemic in 2020. But the heart and soul of that neighborhood spot still lives on here, staying true to its roots, flavors, and family spirit.
Here, we offer a unique blend of Asian and Montreal flavors. It’s the only place where you can order both poutine and pho under the same roof! We put all our heart into making sure every visit feels like a family dinner, even if you're just grabbing takeout.

FAQ

Who is the head chef?
Michel Lim is a chef with a unique background, passionate about food from all origins and the stories behind them. Born to Cambodian parents and raised in the Saint-Michel neighborhood of Montreal, he was exposed to many cultures, which he embraced through his curiosity and friendships. In his teens, Michel discovered hip-hop dance, and to this day, he is a prominent figure in the Canadian hip-hop scene. It was through this art form that Michel learned the importance of finding and developing his identity.

As a food lover and natural gatherer, Michel enjoyed cooking a variety of dishes from different cultures to share with friends. In 2014, he decided to take his passion for cooking to the next level and created a pop-up restaurant called MangeDansMonHood, a nod to his neighborhood, Saint-Michel. The success of this event was a turning point in his life, leading Michel to become a food entrepreneur. A few years later, he became the chef-owner of his restaurant, La Belle Tonki, where he develops fusion dishes and funky creations rooted in his heritage and reflective of his creativity. He also runs the snack bar MangeDansMonHood, a reference to his pop-ups!
What La Belle Tonki's mission?
We truly want everyone to be happy. To make that happen, changes in the industry are necessary, and we’re not afraid to take action!
What is La Belle Tonki’s vision?
Here’s what we picture when we close our eyes:
What are you doing for the environment?
We live in a world of overconsumption, and the current crisis doesn’t encourage waste reduction. Many people order online, and lots of containers aren’t compostable, ending up in the trash. We compost! Do you?
Do you have a container return program?
When you accumulate containers from five meals, we’ll give you two free spring rolls with your next order by mentioning it in the comments.
About containers, straws, and utensils:
If you mention that you’ll bring your own containers, please arrive early so we can take and use them. We reserve the right to prioritize smooth restaurant operations, so we may not always be able to accommodate or may need to use our containers instead.
Why aren’t you open more hours?
Providing top-quality food requires time and expertise to ensure the best quality for you. It’s not as easy as hiring just anyone for the job. We truly care about the quality of our food and service, as well as our quality of life—we’re both family men.
What comes with a pho?
All our pho soups are served with lime, Thai basil, onions, green onions, cilantro, and bean sprouts.
Is the poutine good?
Our poutines have won the “Best Poutine” award at Poutine Week three times—in 2019, 2021, and 2023. So, our poutine isn’t just good, it’s incredible!
Why don’t you use homemade fries?
We tried it for a short time, but the flavors didn’t do justice to our creations. It also makes us stand out from other diners.
Why are so many dishes spicy?
Just like in Asia, dishes are often spicy. We try to stay true to the original flavors without altering them too much. Eat it regularly, and you’ll gradually get used to it!
Do you take reservations?
It’s first come, first served, unless you’re a group of six or more. We recommend arriving before 6 PM or after 8 PM to avoid peak hours. Otherwise, we have a good reminder system and can text you when a spot opens up!
