One good thing about memories, they never died nor get torn down. Are you all aware of the fact that there is actually a paperback book out all about Belisle's? With pictures too if you really get hungry!
Thank You again for all the kind words, may the pink restaurant live on!!

yes...if you are referring to the one Charlotte wrote? I have the copy I bought for my mom before she passed away... signed to my mom... may I ask which Belisle you are?

I remember Belisle's very well i use to work there in the middle 80's until they closed. I made many great friends who i still see on a regular basis. A friend emailed me this and i am glad he did.

We loved Belisle's! Huge portions, but more importantly the food was delicious.
We were very sad to see it replaced by a chain restaurant.

It broke my heart to see Belisle's torn down I spent a lot of time there my Dad was the head chef there for quite a while (Don Boyd)for those of you who remember him he is still alive and kicking he and my mom now live in Auburn Ca. He was also the pastry chef till he retired yea he made all those monster pies and cakes and whatnot it was a miracle that i didnot weigh 300lbs eating all that stuff over the years.Eyore who is your mom ?? I've prbobly met her before

One of their old chefs or cooks or something now owns/runs a small restaurant in Santa Ana.

I wrote a review about it today on my website. I'd post a link but since I'm a new member I can't. Just do a google search for Eat in OC and look for my review of Mini Cafe.

Chef Mario is 1 of the many cooks/chefs that my dad trained in his many years at Belisle's.I have eaten at the Mini Cafe during 1 of my trips back to socal and the food there is great

I haven't been to So Cal in forever, my grandparanets live in Placentia. I was so excited about taking my new husband this weekend on our trip, all this time I think my grandparents just thought that Belisle's relocated and I was trying to find where they moved! I live close to Auburn, CA, and saw someone from the restuarant is there. Is there somewhere to eat in Auburn even close? I am so distraught!
