Located in Verdun, la Bêtise is the result of four friends who were wondering how to enhance food and wine pleasures. The tapas lounge-bar formula was created to offer an extraordinary evening to enthusiasts of culinary experiences: explosive tapas for all pallets, inventive main dishes, elaborate and original wine and cocktail list. 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.

La Bêtise welcomes guests with a warm, cozy atmosphere that many reviews describe as inviting and vibrant. The food gets frequent praise, from fresh oysters and tapas-style bites to well-executed mains and standout seafood. Service is consistently noted as friendly, attentive, and helpful, with a good wine and cocktail selection to complement the meals. Some comments mention a higher price point or occasional slower service, but portions and overall quality are repeatedly highlighted as strong points. The venue's charm, whether on the terrace or inside, makes it a popular spot for gatherings or a romantic evening, and visitors often say they would return.
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.
Nous sommes allés au restaurant La Bêtise vendredi dernier. L'ambiance était chaleureuse, l'accueil impeccable & nous avons très bien mangé. J'ai d'ailleurs décidé d'y organiser mon party d'employés pour Noël. Merci à Nam pour ses excellents conseils & pour nous avoir fait découvrir le meilleur du menu.

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
I was there during MTL à la table, so understandably it is not the showcase opportunity of what a restaurant can offer. Value was acceptable under these circumstances.
Food: nothing special; fois gras in the beef cheek dish felt like rubber, plate was served lukewarm to cold. Beer salad missed flavour.
Service: decent, polite & friendly personnel
Atmosphere: slightly noisy, loud music, difficult to maintain a conversation.
La Bétise in Verdun in a lovely place. The service is always nice, & the food is always delicious. We're a big fan of the scallop & crab bites as they are some of our favourites, but everyone will find something they like in the menu.
Thank you again to the La Bétise team for another great evening!
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 !
Stopped by to watch the hockey game with my friends during mtl a la table! Had the tagliatelle's, & it did not disappoint! & if you're looking for a real upper with this nasty weather get the French onion soup!
Overall great experience, cocktails were nice & so was wine selection!
Sincerement je fais rarement des reviews, mais je dois prendre le temps decrire que le service recu ce soir etait tres ordinaire. Aucun sourire de la part du serveur, semblait ne pas aimer son travail, a puncher un item quon avait pas commandé & sostinait avec nous que nous l'avions commander....sincerement possiblement quil avait une mauvaise journee mais tres decu du service.

Service de qualité , souriant & à l'écoute des besoins des clients! Un gros coup de coeur ❤?. J'habite à Granby, & je reviendrai assurément, je recommande. Les cocktails sans alcool sont incroyables
Dans une petite portion de la rue Wellington que je fréquente rarement, plusieurs restaurants attrayants sont regroupés & j'y ai testé celui-ci avec 2 amies & nous avons vraiment beaucoup aimé.
Les plats style tapas offre des portions généreuses (hors produits de la mer) & goûteuses. 2 tapas à partager par personne étaient suffisants. En plus des huîtres à 1$ ce soir là, nous avons testé les choux-fleurs frits, les crevettes à l'ail, le Mac N Cheese, les champignons, les frites & les grilled cheese. On final on avait chacun nos favoris différents & tout le monde était ravi.
