Does anyone remember Belle Isles ?

It was a restaurant down Harbour, on the right just passed Orangewood. Strange pink building.
It had Fred Flintstone size ribs. A breakfast with a dozen eggs and a pound of bacon. A desert case with cream pies and puffs with 5 inches or more of cream. I remember going there early 80's. I'm not sure how much longer it was around.
Just thinking about the good old days.

was the restaurant sort of famous for having HUGE portions of everything?
and had pictures of famous actors (those who have eaten there) on the wall?

I think John Candy was one of them ? if so, then yup I remember that place.

I went there on a Disneyland trip back in 1991

I believe the actual name of it was "Belisle's".

Your probably right. I don't remember it being two words.

I found this old DIS thread on Belisle's it says Walt and the imagineers use to eat there back in the day.

LOVED that place! I grew up in Stanton and we would go there after visiting DL for the day. Wish I could take me kids there now. They would be amazed by the desserts!

I think I must be the only person in the world that did not like that restaurant. Every time we went to DL, my husband insisted we eat there.
I did not shed any tears when it was gone.
But to each his own.
