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.

Luckily, others in our group arrived earlier since they live closer so we had a table. However, I would definitely recommend making a reservation or arrive MUCH earlier/prepare to wait for a seat. There's a "busy" vibe inside but it's more like a bustling, happy, welcoming, and great overall addition to the environment. With how packed it was, it understandably took a while to be tended to but they did the best they can and were extremely polite. We were seated at a table in the middle area of the restaurant between the booths and surrounded by other tables/next to the bar area. It can feel like a tight squeeze at times but there was adequate space to dine without feeling suffocated or bumping elbows with other diners. I just don't know how the servers do it! I give the entire staff a large kudos for juggling so many plates in such little space. There are 2-3 individual washrooms, so if it's packed there may be a bit of a wait but they're kept clean and are quite nice nonetheless. The portions are quite large and are great for the price considering how delicious everything is. The banana, strawberry and Nutella crepe is so good and their assortment of fruit is quite nice! Dragon fruit, oranges, cantaloupe, melon.... They don't skimp! I got scrambled eggs for my egg side and they were really tasty. Overall, I really enjoyed dining here. I can completely understand why it can get so busy. (It also calmed down as we were leaving after the brunch rush). I would definitely come back.

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.

Tout le monde a vu que j'ai travaillé fort et que j'ai aidé à sauver le service. À la fin de mon quart, j'ai attendu calmement pour parler avec le propriétaire au sujet du salaire. Je voulais simplement vérifier si la structure proposée faisait du sens.
