Last inspected: Dec 4, 2024
67
Score
The health department has logged six inspections at La Belle, the earliest from 2022. The most recent visit was on Dec 4, 2024. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near 12 violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “bathroom located inside establishment not completely enclosed” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.
That's lower than the typical Orlando restaurant, which scores around 79. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
