We had a table upstairs where the atmosphere and service were exceptional. Beyond the excellent fresh baked Baguette at the get-go, Chez Lévêque's rich Lobster Bisque with cognac and Snail Puff Pastry à la Chamblisienne, (with shallots, white wine and cream,) made an amazing start. Sublime describes my entrée, Veal with Morels Sauce and Noodles. Will never forget that wonderful meal! Wouldn't have to think twice about returning to Brasserie Chez Lévêque! If you have the opportunity to dine here, recommend you do the same!

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. Je vais sûrement y retourner, je le recommande grandement. Ah these small restaurant in non touristic area, sometimes you can find neighborghood gem. And it was the case of this restaurant La menthe Poivrée. I succombed to this excellent french restaurant, and i was pleasently surprised. The salmon tartar appetiser was one of the best one i tasted. My main meal was Island cod filet with pesto sauce and it was veryvery good. It was as good as some expensive restaurants i tried before. My wife like her scallops plate with veggies a lot. To resume an excellent quality at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this restaurant.

However, it was worth the detour, as it feels wonderfully unpretentious and has some nicely done classic French dishes. Everything was priced reasonably, and all the main dishes include the choice of either a soup or salad, plus coffee or tea/herbal tea at the end of the meal. The food and service was great, and it's clear that it's a neighbourhood favourite, as most of the tables were full when we came for our reservation. Definitely recommend. // Ce bistrot familial et chaleureux est situé dans le quartier de Rosemont, dans un endroit plutôt inattendu et derrière une façade plutôt discrète. Cependant, le détour en valait la peine, car il est merveilleusement sans prétention et propose des plats français classiques bien préparés. Tout était à un prix raisonnable et tous les plats principaux comprennent le choix entre une soupe ou une salade, ainsi qu'un café ou un thé/une tisane à la fin du repas. La nourriture et le service étaient excellents, et il est clair que c'est un favori du quartier, car la plupart des tables étaient pleines lorsque nous sommes venus pour notre réservation. Je le recommande vivement.

I came here last night with my boyfriend. I was excited for this restaurant because of all the good…read morereviews here on yelp and also because it's a french BYOB. I love french food and boy did I feel like drinking that night! We got there and we were seated at the back close to the washrooms. It's a small restaurant and there were only two seats left so its no wonder we didn't get good seats. What I didn't appreciate was that it took the waiter 15 min for him to bring over some water and then another five min to open up our wine bottle. I told the waiter that I thought he forgot about us and he apologized and said that he thought his colleague was going to bring us some water but she never did. We shared the oyster entree. It was basically a fancy tiny sandwich with three crispy oysters inside, lemon aioli, a garlic gel and a champagne foam on top. For me it was too lemony but my boyfriend enjoyed it. The waiter brought out some warm bread with butter made with beets. It didn't taste like beets to me but it was very good. We finished the bread and butter and asked for a refill. I got the beef tartare as a main. It was supposed to be bison tartare but they ran out. It's too bad because I really enjoy bison tartare. The beef tartare was good but not amazing. It had a creamy anchovy sauce but thankfully it didn't taste like anchovies which I liked because i don't like anchovies. The tartare was served with julienne fries and crispy fried onions. The fries were good but the mayo it came with tasted so weird and I didn't like it at all. I actually ate my fries with ketchup and I never do that. My boyfriend got the poultry ballotine. It's basically chicken stuffed with truffle, pancetta, onions, mushrooms with a cauliflower sauce and mustard seeds on top. This dish was very good! If you go definitely get this dish! The waiter recommended it as well. Unfortunately, I wouldn't come back and there's other french BYOBs that I like way more.

Although the little crackers they gave us to accompany the foie gras were VERY salty. I felt like I was eating just pure salt.

It was a good portion of bacon,sausage, 1 duck leg and the bottom of the skillet was filled with beans. The bacon had a nice fix of sweetness and saltiness. While the duck meat easily fell off the bone. And the sausage with juicy with a hint of spiciness. Overall a good place to go for dinner.

The service was friendly and prompt and I liked the trendy but relaxing atmosphere of the restaurant. We got the burrata appetizer which tasted super fresh and light. For the mains, I got the saffron cavatelli with scallop and veal with chanterelles and truffles. The flavour for the cavatelli could have been stronger as I didn't really taste any saffron at all and the veal was chewy, however the mushrooms that came with it tasted great. Dessert was really the star of the night. We got the beignets which came with caramel dipping sauce and it was such an amazing texture. Fluffy on the inside but crispy on the outside. I could've easily eaten another one. The caramel dipping sauce wasn't too overpowering or sweet and complimented the beignets wonderfully.

Sat down: 9:00pm First course - 9:12pm: Scallops. Usually one of my favorite appetizers, but these were slimy and way too fishy. Second course - 9:50pm: Seal. First time trying it, so I can't say if it was the prep or just not for me. It tasted like raw tuna (which I love), but had the chew of a tough steak -- nothing like the melt-in-your-mouth texture I was hoping for. Exception: the bread was good! Third course - 10:30pm: Duck. Not terrible, not great. I love duck when it's cooked right, but the fat wasn't rendered enough -- it tasted like it had cooled and started congealing. Everything was chewier than it should've been. Maybe it was an off night. I know French dining is slower paced, but usually the food is better. For me, as a solo diner, nearly 40 minutes between courses was rough, and the food didn't make up for it. Cute atmosphere, great service, but the food fell flat and I still walked out having spent nearly $140 CAN. Can't recommend.
