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.

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!

We stuck with a light red wine that we got from SAQ down the street that offered a tasting of some local wines.

The bad: First and…read morefore most, what is the point on making reservations if you have to wait an hour before getting a table? They tried to be nice and all, but in the end my patience was tested. They added tables to a walk in and that seems to be the reason why we waited so long. Now why did we just not leave? Because they said that it would only be a 15 minutes wait and suggested we open our wine bottle to which we have agreed to. The good: The waitresses were more then nice! They felt really bad and even stayed patient with us. Especially after seeing my patience and my temper getting tested. It quickly calmed me down and put a smile back on my face. The menu is simple but refined as well for a bistro. We didn't get the table d'hôte because we usually never get to the desserts :) I got the salmon escabeche. Tasty, fresh, well seasoned with creamed corn and fried shallots. Hubby got the parfait the volaille. Creamy and so decadent! For the main, i got the hanger steak with vegetables. Cooked to perfection! Everything!!! Felix got the catch of the day which was a crusted cod filet with barley and some sort of smokey reduction. Flaky, tender, perfect! The portions were so generous that we couldn't take anymore in! Ok... So i got irritated, even annoyed at first for waiting 45 minutes for a table (with reservations). But the superb service and delicious food made my husband and i a little happier in the end:)

I had been looking forward to dining here, as this place is widely considered to be, as my friend…read moreput it, a ''classic'' neighbourhood restaurant. The overall experience for my girlfriend, our guest and I was unfortunately very disappointing. Our food was served with several mix-ups. First, my girlfriend had ordered the octopus with patatas bravas, informing the waiter that she is lactose intolerant and therefore can't have any cheese or cream. Sure enough, when she was served her dish, there was cheese on the potatoes. Next, our friend had ordered the beef tartare with fries. The waitress came back instead with fish tartare and she forgot the fries. We were told that the errors would be corrected in ''a few minutes'', but a full 30min passed before the three of us were able to eat the dishes we had asked for. This is on top of the 20min since the waitress initially took our order. Although I received the exact meal I had asked for, it was cold before I could enjoy it. Apart from apologies, we were not offered any compensation for the errors and time wasted. A discount or item free of charge would have been greatly appreciated. Regarding the ambiance, it was crowded and loud, but I suppose this is to be expected for a Saturday evening. The ambiance was fine. The service, on the other hand, was far from what I would consider good. We are unlikely to ever go back to this ''classic'' joint, nor are we likely to recommend it.

Super big shout out to our host - she was absolutely superb in introducing the menu and making us feel welcomed. There is parking to the right of the building - which was super convenient. I decided to go with the tasting menu (menu dégustation). It is a ton of food. Started with a light corn cream - flavor was delicate and smoky. The bouillabaisse was perfect - scallop beautifully done. The roasted quail was also very good. All the garnishes and sauces complement perfectly. The foie gras with the super crispy bread was excellent. Even the sherbet for palette cleansing was superb. The scallop main course in mushroom sauce was an art. I honestly was super full by the time I got to the raclette and the panna cotta but they were both amazing. Would have given them an extra star if I could!
