Tried this restaurant through Montreal à la table. Set menu for $65. Appetizer salmon crudo was excellent 5 stars for sure. Main dish of octopus was plentiful & grilled to perfection. Also 5 stars. Others in my group had beef cheeks & pasta & said they were underseasoned & just ok. Service was good. Drinks took a long time to arrive but were delicious. Dessert was ok. Charming decor & restaurant was very busy. Overall a great night.
We were warmly welcomed. The restaurant is nice & clean. My first course was onion soup gratiné & it was one of the best ones I've ever had my second course was beef cheek with a piece of foie gras on top. It was served with vegetables, mashed potatoes, & the best gravy I've ever had in my life. That meal was fantastic for dessert, although the portions were a little small it was delicious. 10/10 😍 Highly recommend
Première visite chez La Bêtise & pas la dernière! Nous sommes arrivés en retard à cause du trafic, nous avons été très bien accueillis malgré notre retard.
Beau menu Montréal à table , joue de boeuf & foie gras menoum! Délicieux , gourmand, excellente portion. Credo de saumon très relevé, excellent! & un dessert à se coucher par terre, tarte déconstruite aux pacanes, sucré ,sucré & combien satisfaisante pour une gourmande comme moi .
Le service gentil de tous, traité comme si nous étions des bons amis à table , j'ai beaucoup apprécié!
Oui, j'y retourne bientôt c'est certain !
What a gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a cozy atmosphere & friendly smiles. The appetizers were fresh & flavorful, the main courses were perfectly cooked, & the desserts were the perfect ending to our meal. Service was attentive without being overwhelming. A true five-star experience
Petit restaurant intime de tapas! L'endroit propose une ambiance conviviale & de beaux repas à partager. La pieuvre était délicieuse, les légumes qui l'accompagnaient étaient croustillants & savoureux. La sélection de dessert était plutôt maigre, mais pour compenser j'ai pu profiter des huîtres à 1$ en y allant un mardi. Merci pour la belle soirée ❤️
I usually go to Betise Rosemont but wanted to try the MTL a Table menu here. The tuna app & octopus were both very good & the meat options were decent but I felt like they were really missing the wine pairing to be better. However, I was disappointed with the service. Our waiter just really seemed like he didn't want to be there. He was very slow to come around & never asked us if we wanted more drinks or anything so all we had to drink other than water were the cocktails we ordered at the beginning. I guess we saved money, but I would have liked some wine with dinner. We asked to split everything but no small plates were brought & he completely forgot about our coffee with dessert too. When we brought up the fact that we'll forget about the coffee he didn't even apologize or seem sorry he just said yes it's too late. I will say that the table beside us was loud & obnoxious & seemed to have had an argument with him at some point but he was still slow & inattentive before the argument so I don't think that's the whole story. Anyways, I'll probably continue going to La Betise Rosemont instead of Verdun.
I thought the food was alright, nothing amazing. I started with the tuna, which was excellent, but my main course, the vol-au-vent, was mediocre. It was served on a small plate, which was inconvenient given the amount of sauce, causing it to spill every time I tried to cut into it. Additionally, it was cold. The dessert-a blondie with ice cream-was just okay & not particularly memorable. The service was good, but the restaurant was extremely loud, making it necessary to yell to have a conversation.
La nourriture & le service était bien, mais on n'a pas été capable de rester jusqu'au dessert tellement il faisait chaud & que la musique était forte, on devait pratiquement crier pour s'entendre autour de la table. J'ai aussi trouvé qu'il manquait de choix pour les végétariens, on annonçait un pad thaï à la courge sur le site web, mais il n'était pas sur le menu, ce qui a raccourci la liste des options végés disponible.
