You can share and explore classics that are adapted to fine cuisine in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. La Bêtise is the ideal place for a good time.

The service was excellent, nice atmosphere, beautiful design, the food was good, not exceptional but good & worth it. I highly recommend the Short Ribs. It was delicious. Will definitely come back.

WoW!!! Quelle magnifique surprise ce restaurant. Service exceptionnel, ambiance décontractée mais festive, & tous les plates étaient franchement délicieux & pleins de saveurs. Je vous recommande chaudement.
Souper entre amis dans le respect des mesures sanitaires. Maudit que ca fait du bien de sortir de chez soi. Bouffe excellente & services des plus agréables. Nous avons pris: Chou-fleur frit, tartare de saumon, dumpling à l'agneau, bouchées de crabe. Tout était délicieux. Je vous le recommande chaudement.

Super service! De l'hôtesse au busboy, leur experience client surpassait mes attentes. La nourriture était aussi bonne, de plus que leur promotion d'huître est en vigueur à tous les jours. Un service très personnalisé qui a rendu la soirée encore plus agréable. 100% j'y retourne & je recommande.
We came for the $1 oysters & the fabulous cocktails! We were not disappointed. I had been here myself a couple times before & decided to bring some new peeps this time 'round. They were pleased with the food, the service (Dany our waiter, was great!), the drinks & the overall ambiance of the place. I definitely recommend La Betise - Verdun if you're looking for a cozy, relaxed vibe with amazing cocktails & great food (The fried Calamaris, the Edemames their Tuna & Beef Tataki & the Crab bites are my top choices) *On a side note, I tend to book a reservation for when they open up as it does get quite busy later on. Do take it into account if you go in after 7pm as there will be some delays getting the drinks out (they are worth the wait but all hand-shaken at the time of order, all is super fresh & nothing is pre-mixed). Hope you enjoy it as much as we did ;-)
Bonjour,
Mes amies & moi avons passé une agréable soirée à votre restaurant hier, 3 octobre. L'ambiance était agréable & le service excellent.
Toutefois, pendant la nuit, nous avons (les quatres ) souffert de diaharrée, de crampes abdominales & de maux de coeur. Clairement, la nourriture servie nous a causé une intoxication alimentaire.
Nous sommes très déçues d'avoir déboursé une somme importante pour des produits que nous croyions de qualité supérieure pour souffrir par la suite de malaises.
Nous ne recommanderons en aucun cas votre restaurant & nous aviserons sérieusement notre entourage de
En espérant que vous prendrez les mesures nécessaires afin que ceci ne se reproduise plus
