My bride ordered the Mexicaine Omelet but swapped the cheese for feta and loved it. I went with the Smoked Salmon Omelet and it was excellent. The serving is so generous with all the sides like sausage, ham, potatoes, baguette and fruit. We both loved the baguette and the fruit bowl had 8 different varieties of fruit. Who does that? We really enjoyed it and left very satisfied. If breakfast is your thing, you need to try this place.

I came here on my last morning in Montreal, and even though it was a holiday and there was a long wait, including for solo diners at the counter, it was absolutely worth it. The service was friendly, and honestly, this was one of the best breakfasts of my life. The French toast was incredible, the sausage was great, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. They also give you a lot of food for the price. It did take multiple attempts to ask them for me to get more syrup, which was frustrating. But outside of that, everything was excellent. I hope to come back one day to enjoy it again.

Je me suis laissé tenter par ce restaurant français, qui m'a vraiment surpris. Le tartare de saumon en entrée était un des meilleur que j'ai mangé. Et que dire de mon plat principal : Filet de morue de l'islande et son pesto de tomates séchées, c'était digne de bien des tables de grand restaurant, et ce à un prix raisonnable. Ma femme as bien aimée son assiette de pétoncles poélée avec légumes. Pour résumé : un trés bon rapport qualité/prix pour la qualité de la nourriture.

And it was the case of this restaurant La menthe Poivrée. I succombed to this excellent french restaurant, and i was pleasently surprised.

My wife like her scallops plate with veggies a lot. To resume an excellent quality at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this restaurant.

BEST "BYOB" FRENCH BISTRO DURING RECENT TRIP…read more This is the best dining experience in our recent Montreal trip. I'm glad we made reservation since the place was quite packed when we arrived. To be honest, our first impression wasn't too great. We were seated in their main indoor dining area which was a bit too warm. We asked if we can be moved to their fully covered / heated patio area, but unfortunately the restaurant was full. Fast forward 15 minutes, we have placed our order and were enjoying our bottle of wine and a basket of bread. Our server came over and offered to move us to the patio area since a table had opened up. We were pleasantly surprised because (1) we didn't ask again and (2) most restaurants wouldn't change tables once customers started eating/drinking. The restaurant setting is unpretentious with a casual and cozy vibes. The staff are so friendly that we feel like having a family dinner! They offer a pre-fixe menu in which we thoroughly enjoyed! For appetizers, the escargot dish gave us a pleasant surprise. They wrapped the escargots and blue cheese sauce in a thin crispy crust! It's hard to describe, but it's sort of like having an escargot "crepe"! The few main courses we chose were excellent, and the rack of lamb was probably our favorite - tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked. As for dessert, their creme brulee was one of the best I've had - creamy custard topped with a perfect, crisp caramel top. I'd highly recommend this place, and will certainly visit again when I'm in town next time!

The appetizers were very different from each other but the bison and lamb had similar construction/sauces. Overall a wonderful experience! As tourists, it was fun to try some local wines during the day and buying a bottle to enjoy with dinner here. There was a range of drinks that people brought. We stuck with a light red wine that we got from SAQ down the street that offered a tasting of some local wines.

A delightful breakfast on a weekday morning!…read more We were lucky enough that Renoir opened as early as 7 AM and so seeing the glowing reviews, we had to stop by. The first thing I noticed right off the bat was the beautiful layout of the restaurant. They had plenty of seating, and I love that there was a variety from booth to traditional tables to couches! This restaurant was truly elegant. For someone who always gets overwhelmed with choices, I really appreciated that their breakfast menu was straight to the point, and while there were still many offerings, it was succinct. Our table started off with some juices and coffee - I decided on the grapefruit juice, but I really wish I had tried the orange juice because it was definitely freshly squeeze and I was told that it was so sweet and delicious! The grapefruit juice was good too, but I forgotten how bitter grapefruit can be :,) for my entrée I got the eggs Benedict with a side of potatoes, and this was cooked to perfection. The eggs Benedict still had that runny yolk with a savory hollandaise sauce while the potatoes were one of best breakfast potatoes I've ever had. The flavor was Herby and potato was firm enough to still have that crispy exterior but soft enough that I could break the potato in half with my fork. Another thing I have to brave about this restaurant was the service. Our waiter was so kind and funny and he was always coming back to attend to us and make sure that we had everything we needed. Really love this place and hopefully I can come back again for breakfast in Montreal!

Their continental breakfast was so good we didn't bother ordering anything off the regular menu. Each breakfast came with a pastry of choice, and I got the (very large but delicious) croissant. There was also a yogurt parfait with berries and granola that was a perfect compliment to the carbs of my croissant. I didn't really get my coffee refilled so I'm not sure if that's all you get, but it was still a lovely coffee and I enjoyed dining here. They also have a really lovely outdoor patio that we finally got a moment to visit. I would have come for the patio alone, it was so lovely and everything I needed on a warm summer afternoon. Sometimes it took awhile for our server to come out and check on us, but we had the time so it didn't really matter. He was super nice and knowledgeable about the menu.
