The team at Bistro V (formerly known as Versailles) has been proud to serve the Greenwich community since 1994 at Méli-Mélo, but the story in town actually began in 1990 at the original Versailles café location a few doors up from our current location on Greenwich Avenue. The beloved Avenue has seen many changes over the years and when the current owner spotted the “for sale” sign posted on Versailles’ front door, nostalgia kicked in and could not let another Greenwich institution go! A facelift, a menu shift, and Versailles was reborn as Bistro V. Inspired by the classic bistro in France, the team at Bistro V is excited to share another cozy local hangout with their loyal patrons from Méli-Mélo and newcomers alike. Located in the heart of Greenwich, Bistro V is an all-day restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everyone’s favorite meal – weekend brunch.

    i hesitate to write this review because i selfishly don't want this place to be discovered. Actually it's been there for decades but i was just introduced to it a few months ago, have been 7 times and can't wait to go back again - next time for brunch which i hear is a treat. Cafe V is a truly welcoming spot, wonderful European ambiance and the most gracious efficient staff you will find anywhere. I've been for lunch and dinner and it never seems crowded or rushed therefore the noise level is subdued esp compared to other places on a Sat night. The menus has a wide selection of uniformly delicious apps and entrees; everything my friends and i have ordered has been yummy. I especially love the blackened salmon salad; i could easily eat it every day but the buddha salad, the burgers and the other seafood is equally praiseworthy. And save room for dessert where Cafe V really excels- there is a huge selection of cakes, tarts and pastries all of it irresistible, esp the fruit tarts. The prices are quite reasonable esp for Greenwich and considering the caliber of the food and the overall wonderful experience I hope im not my own worst enemy in posting this review but Cafe V deserves to be singled out.
