Unsuspected place because it is well hidden but which allowed us a very nice evening with friends and children. The service was very efficient, good advice and fast. The calm of the terrace in the late afternoon sun, ideal for a beautiful weekday evening. Tuesday tartars: wonderful ?

Last Wednesday, June 26, 2024, me, my wife and one of my sons went to Bistro V for the blind menu that we love so much! However, not only did the incomparable former butler, Martin, leave there less than a year ago, but the one with an always welcoming smile, who had replaced her (Audrey) also left recently. A young man with bandages on his hands told us that he was taking Audrey's place. I prefer not to mention his name. In summary, here is our evening: 3 hours in total during the week between my arrival and the end of the meal. I told this waiter and maître d' that I wanted dessert quickly, because I had to leave because I was getting up early for a contract the next day and he said he didn't believe me! During a conversation between me, my wife and my son, the waiter lingered for a very long time. While bringing the dessert platter to share, a glass jar fell into my expensive red wine glass, shattering the glass and splashing me! However, the waiter only offered me a slightly larger dessert to replace the broken dessert and I had to persist in getting 3 shooters to replace the expensive wine glass and they saved money in the process. the price of the wine glass versus the cost of the 3 shooters and nothing was offered to me to compensate for the red wine stained pants. Then when he left with the empty desserts he almost broke everything and dropped it all on the ground. A nearby employee above him took the opportunity to frankly belittle him in front of his large table who laughed loudly, crushing the morale of the young novice already at its lowest. The next day I contacted the restaurant and spoke with the one who now manages the catering part and she told me to look into it and make sure that Benoit the owner was there to call me back quickly on this subject. 3 days later it still wasn't done. Never in my life have I experienced such poor and pitiful service in a restaurant and if it wasn't for the fact that the food was impeccable as always, I would obviously have given it 1 star.
To demonstrate how different it was before, I leave below the text of the 5-star review that I wrote for this restaurant 5 years ago: 2019: Me and my wife have tried most of the great restaurants on the south shore and without hesitation their 5-course blind discovery menu (that is to say that it is the outstanding chef who decides what is you are going to eat) is in my opinion the best restaurant available on the south shore of Montreal. And if you go on Wednesday evening, you will also have 40% off your bottle of wine and this extraordinary gourmet meal is also discounted on Wednesday evening. In addition, all the staff are great, Martin the head waiter in the lead! So even if this great restaurant is a little isolated, almost in the fields and in the heart of the booming industrial district of Varennes, don't stop there. Because once there it’s very beautiful. I end by saying thank you for the big royal party they had last Wednesday for their 3rd anniversary. They and the Méchante Virée then received their numerous guests like kings. Drink extras, cold meats, tacos, oysters etc... Long live this restaurant which I can no longer do without!!!

If I could have given more stars I would have! The service is more than impeccable, it's a small restaurant but chic and cozy at the same time! And the food... go for it, there is a most surprising blind menu!

Passing through for a business trip for 10 days in March, I found this restaurant rather by chance.After a very convincing evening, I decided to come back for the “tartare” evening.Excellent. I also discovered maple pie, a must if you've never tried it. The cellar is magnificent.Thanks to Martin with whom we had a great evening chatting ?
