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 had an amazing experience at Terra Gaúcha in Stamford! From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed. The hostess seated me right away, Bryan and the other servers made me feel right at home. I started with a caipirinha, which was delicious, and then headed to the salad bar. There were so many fresh options to choose from! But the real highlight was the meat service. Honestly, it was phenomenal. They brought out so many different cuts, all cooked perfectly to my liking (medium rare). I just had to let them know how I wanted it, and it was delivered straight to my table. To top it off, I had the most amazing crème brûlée for dessert. I also had my infant with me, and the staff were really accommodating, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back to Terra Gaúcha for another incredible rodízio experience. Thanks for everything!

    We had a large group. The food was good and came at an appropriate rate. Beverage service could have been better- I think the restaurant could have doubled the number of drinks served. Al in all it was a good experience and we would go there again.
