Very much worth visiting. It is much less crowded than the main palace, you can actually breathe here. Also it is really beautiful and has an interesting history. I definitely recommend visiting the grand Trianon! Also the treaty of Trianon which partitioned Hungary after WW1 was signed here!

Definitely suggest coming out to see the Grand Trianon. The gardens were beautiful, especially the flower garden that was blooming like crazy still in October. The interior is also very pretty and since it’s on such a much smaller scale, it’s easier to get to really look at everything.

This place is so beautiful. Make sure to rent a bike if you can afford to so you can explore everything in one day. Best place to rent a bike is at the tourist office of versailles. Don't underestimate how massive this whole place is, walking from the Chateau to the Grand Trianon takes like 30 minutes if you walk it. Reserve one full day if you want to visit everything here.

A truly elegant and serene part of the Versailles estate. Le Grand Trianon feels like a completely different world compared to the main palace—quieter, lighter, and wonderfully refined. The pink marble colonnades, the long terraces, and the perfectly aligned gardens create a beautiful and calming atmosphere. Walking through the rooms is a pleasure: everything is airy, harmonious, and designed with a sense of intimacy that contrasts with the grandeur of the main château. A bit of history & curiosities: • Le Grand Trianon was built in 1687 by Louis XIV as a private retreat away from the strict etiquette of Versailles. • It is often called the “Marble Trianon” because of its pink marble columns and decorative stonework. • Unlike the main palace, this residence was meant for peace, privacy, and smaller gatherings. • Later, Napoleon Bonaparte restored and used it, and many of the interiors today reflect his taste and period. • The architecture by Jules Hardouin-Mansart is considered one of the purest examples of French classicism—balanced, elegant, and beautifully proportioned. A wonderful place to visit if you want to enjoy the quieter, more intimate side of Versailles. Absolutely worth seeing.

The Grand Trianon is a smaller palace located inside the Versailles estate, to the right of Grand Canal. It was built in 1687 by architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart for King Louis XIV, who wanted a quiet place away from the main court. The building is known for its pink marble columns, elegant design, and large windows that look out onto the gardens. Inside, you can visit several restored rooms, including the Mirror Room, Louis XIV’s bedroom, the Empress’s Apartment, and Napoleon’s rooms from the early 1800s. The furniture and decorations reflect both the 17th-century royal style and the later Empire style used by Napoleon. The gardens around the palace are beautiful and peaceful, with symmetrical flowerbeds and views over the Grand Canal. It’s much less crowded than the main Château, so you can take your time walking through. It takes about 20-30 minutes to walk from the main Versailles Palace, or you can take the petit train that runs through the park. The visit usually takes 30–45 minutes.It’s a great place to learn about how French kings and later Napoleon used Versailles not only for ceremony but also for private life.

IMPORTANT NOTE: AUDIO GUIDE ON APP WORKS HERE AS WELL. The pink marble goes crazy, such a pretty villa. A lot smaller than the Palace but still boasts a pretty garden. Definitely worth visiting, considering the nearby Petite Trianon as well, plus the villa has a much more homely feel compared to the main palace. It is also a lot less crowded, though the walk over can take more than half an hour.

Napoleon lived here (and did many others). It is will preserved and maintained. I highly recommend walking around the grounds as well.

We went to see Palace of Versailles as a group. The place is beautiful. The gardens are equally impressive and massive; renting a golf. We rented a golf cart, it was well worth the money to explore comfortably. We made reservations in advance, we waited around 20–30 minutes to get inside. Everything was impressive. The negative part is the crown inside. But once in the garden it was so much better.

This was one of the most impressive places I have seen with my own eyes! I have a landscape engineering degree and the palace gardens were often referred to in books, by teachers and were always a source of inspiration. I’m really glad I got to see them in real life. My partner proposed on a boat on the canal, it was all very romantic (I said yes!). The palace interior and expositions were also quite impressive, I was in awe the whole time.

Absolutely stunning palace with a fascinating history. Highly recommend Stephanie from Paris to versailles. We booked via Viator. She was amazing, amusing and speaks multiple languages. Also recommended getting a golf cart to see the gardens and time it to see a fountain operating. Times are on Versailles site but Stephanie organised it perfectly. The fountains do not operate during colder months due to freezing pipes. Gardens close too. See my photos for golf cart hire location. The gardens would look better in spring but that’s the joy of the first ever formal garden- stunning all year round. Take your license. The most amusing part of our visit was all of the TikTokers and Instagramers. So self indulgent and very very funny.

The castle itself is amazing too, but this time it was the Versailles Opera. Small venue, but that makes it cozy and beautiful. The services in terms of infrastructure, such as the cloakroom and buffet, are minimal, only one of each. Not too good for the crowd; expect lines and queues. The rest is wonderful and beautiful as expected.

This Palace was truely beautiful and I highly recommend. As a group of four we did the tour and saw 12 rooms out of the 2,300 and a bit of history with the tour. They were very good with safety and supportive to English. You could get the tour in several languages and the rooms were amazing. Very beautiful, only downside is its huge populatarity so it was quite overcrowded considering it's Autum/Winter here in France. Good option for a tourist. Very pretty. Merci beaucoup.

We spent about a day and a half exploring Versailles and absolutely loved it. Here are a few tips that might make your visit smoother: The Passport ticket is the best value since it gives you access to everything — the main palace, gardens, and both the Grand and Petit Trianon. I had originally bought tickets just for the Trianons, but discovered you also need Musical Gardens tickets to walk through the gardens to get there. Otherwise, you’d have to walk all the way around the perimeter and hope to find an open gate. Get an audio guide or download one on your phone since the signs are in French. The guided tours start around 9:30 a.m. — just check the language. I mistakenly booked the Private Apartments tour in French but used the Google Translate app to follow along (it worked surprisingly well, though it uses a lot of data). The tour meets in the Ministers’ Building to the right of the main entrance, up the stairs. After our tour, the audio guide line was over 30 minutes long, so get it first thing in the morning. Later in the day, around 4 p.m., the crowds thinned out and there was no line. If you have limited time, start with the Grand Trianon and Petit Trianon. They’re smaller, more personal, and give you a sense of royal life away from the main palace. The Grand Trianon was the king’s retreat; the Petit Trianon, Marie Antoinette’s, is charmingly modest. It’s about a 30–45 minute walk through the gardens, or you can take the tram for a small fee. The gardens are enormous — we walked about 6 to 9 miles. You’ll see manicured trees, fountains, statues, and even a lake with boats. On certain days, the Musical Gardens feature classical music playing from hidden speakers, adding a lovely atmosphere. Bring a hat and water. There are some restaurants and a bathroom, but there can be a very long line. If possible, take a guided tour — it gives you access to areas not open to general visitors, like the King’s private study, reception rooms, and the beautiful royal chapel (where general admission visitors can only peek in from the doorway). Plan for a lot of walking and wear comfortable shoes. There are golf carts you can rent by the hour to cover more of the garden than by foot. Versailles is vast, breathtaking, and full of history — an unforgettable experience well worth taking the time to explore fully.

The Versailles Castle is a beautiful building with stunning views but if you only have a little time in Paris this is not a must see. The inside has some stunning rooms with beautiful furniture and paintings. The view of the garden from the second floor is exceptional. The gardens and lakes are a really good choice if you’re visiting with your family. The only downside of the palace are the giant crowds in the rooms and by the toilets, so you have to be patient. The tickets were about 60€ for adults and 0€ for children (Attention! The garden is not free for children, it’s 10€)

The gardens surrounding the site are well-maintained and add significant aesthetic value to the environment. The buildings themselves complement the landscaped areas, contributing to an overall pleasant and inviting atmosphere. One notable issue observed is that the fountains are currently not operational. This represents a significant lapse, as the absence of functioning water features detracts from the intended experience and diminishes the visual appeal of the grounds.

A very nice place to visit. Grand Trianon and Petit Trianon are next to each other. I walk from the Versailles Palace all the way to them took me 45 minutes but there is a shuttle also that you can take it's on the tight side of the Palace. 5€ one way and you wait around 10, 15 minutes to come.

The Petit Trianon is one of the most interesting places to visit at Versailles. It’s smaller and more personal than the main palace or even the Grand Trianon, and it has a very special atmosphere. The building was originally constructed in the 1760s for Madame de Pompadour, the favorite of King Louis XV, but it’s most famous for being later used by Queen Marie Antoinette. Marie Antoinette made the Petit Trianon her private retreat. She came here to escape the strict life of the royal court and to spend time with a small circle of friends. Inside, you can see beautifully restored rooms — the bedroom of the Queen, dining room, music salon, and other private chambers. The decoration is elegant but much simpler than in the main palace, with delicate furniture, light colors, and floral motifs that reflect the queen’s taste. Outside, the gardens are one of the highlights. Marie Antoinette had them redesigned in the English style, very different from the formal French gardens of Versailles. There are winding paths, small bridges, streams, and the famous Hameau de la Reine — a small “village” built to look like a rustic countryside hamlet. It’s fascinating to see how much effort went into creating a place that felt natural and simple, even though it was made for royalty. The Petit Trianon is about a 20 minute walk from the Grand Trianon, or you can reach it by the petit train that runs through the park. The visit takes around 45 minutes to an hour, especially if you explore the gardens and the hamlet nearby. I found the Petit Trianon to be one of the most peaceful and human parts of Versailles. It gives a real sense of who Marie Antoinette was beyond the image of a queen — someone who wanted a bit of privacy, nature, and beauty in her own space.

Famously known as Marie Antoinette’s residence, the place has since been owned by various French aristocrats, though Marie’s own touch still permeates the house. The stairway prominently features an intertwining pattern that combines her initials. Now that I sound like an audio guide, let me not. the place is quite small, hence the name, and shaped like a cube. we got chased out pretty quick due to closing time (this seems to be a running theme for us) but we were able to glimpse some of Marie’s quarters, as well as the gardens, which were beautiful. the walk over from POV is about half an hour, though I feel that the gardens alone is worth the walk. Marie’s obsession with romance and love is easily discernible through her various commissioned structures (a little pagoda with Cupid and Venus), and her penchant for soft pastels, while not exceedingly obvious, can be picked out. just a really gorgeous, somehow both modest and grand, area to visit.

There isn't a whole lot to see in the actual building here but it's really the gardens and everything outside that is worth it. There's many walking trails and easy to get lost but don't give up. Going to the Queen's hamlet is definitely worth it as is the Temple de l'amour. There's some very large trees nearby that are just epic as well.

So interesting to see where Marie Antoinette actually lived away from all the hustle and bustle of Versailles. It’s very small and easy to tour and I felt like you could really take your time here and look at the room thoroughly without feeling like you were rushed.

The Petit Trianon is a small neoclassical palace on the grounds of Versailles, built in the 18th century for King Louis XV. It later became closely associated with Marie-Antoinette, who used it as a private retreat away from the formal life of the main court. To visit the Trianon area , you should book for a separate day if you're already visiting the Castle ; you'll most probably not have enough time to visit both . Keep in mind the Trianon is 30 minutes from the main Castle area

An excellent example of art of opulence, and how it's blending of the paintings, frescoes, sculptures, and mirrors makes this a grand section of the palace. Word of advice, go to the far end of the hall to get a better photo opportunity

It was magnificent. I didn't know where to look because each part was breathtaking. It was the most crowded room after the king's chamber.

An absolutely breathtaking masterpiece and one of the highlights of the entire Palace of Versailles. The Galerie des Glaces is even more impressive in person than in photos: the sparkling chandeliers, the endless mirrors, the gilded decorations, and the light pouring in from the gardens create a truly unforgettable atmosphere. Walking through the hall feels like stepping straight into the heart of French royal history. A bit of history & curiosities: • The Hall of Mirrors was completed in 1684 under Louis XIV, the Sun King. • It was designed by architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart and decorated by Charles Le Brun, the king’s favorite artist. • At the time, mirrors were extremely rare and expensive. Filling an entire hall with them was both a political message and a symbol of France’s economic power, proving that French craftsmanship could rival and surpass Venice, the world’s leading mirror producer. • The hall served as the main stage for royal ceremonies, diplomatic receptions, and major court events. • One of the most important events in world history took place here: the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, which ended World War I. • The hall is 73 meters long and reflects the gardens through its 17 windows, creating a unique play of light that was revolutionary for its time.

Nothing prepares you for the Hall of Mirrors. You step in and it’s pure gold, light, and grandeur — a place so over-the-top it almost feels unreal. The chandeliers catch the daylight pouring in from the arched windows, reflecting across 357 mirrors. And that ceiling? A heavenly opera of painted glory and divine ego. I had seen a million photos of it before visiting, but standing inside it hits different. It’s not just a room, it’s a statement — about wealth, power, ambition, and the sheer audacity of French Baroque.

Nice mirrors, terrible hospitality — they made my buddies (Müller and Bell) sign some papers here...another friend of them with cute mustache didn't like it and joined politics in Germany..!

The Hall of Mirrors has seen so much. It was where the Treaty of Versailles, that ended WWI and arguably started WWII was signed. It was where the German Empire started in 1871. It was where Kim and Kanye hosted their rehearsal dinner here back in 2014, arguably the most important historical event that took place here to date. The thing that stuck with me the most though on the tour here, was when the mob of peasants marched on the Palace of Versailles in 1789 and saw themselves for the first time in these mirrors. Obviously they had seen their reflections in bodies of water here and there, but this had to be the first time they’d really got a good look at themselves. That just completely blew my mind. It sent me into a full existential crisis. It got me thinking about life back then compared to now. What would life be like if we could never see ourselves? Probably much better. We’d never really worry about whether we look good or not. I’d get so much time back in the day. Could be way more productive. But then I realized I’d more than likely be a peasant, getting shafted by the French government left and right. You’d only know what they want you to know. You’d just be busting your ass on the farm all day, giving loot to the government and getting damn near nothing in return. But maybe I’d be happier? Life was so much simpler… and I am happiest in the simple times, when I’m not worried about what I could be doing to push my tech sales career forward. Who knows. I go back and forth all day. I’m eternally grateful to be born at the time I am, but maybe I’d be happier with life being so much simpler? Everything involves some sort of sacrifice. See what the Hall of Mirrors did to me? Sent me down this crazy spiral smh. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

Absolutely breathtaking . The whole room feels surreal...

Beautiful gardens with a very easy to understand map to get around! We were disappointed to see most fountains were off, aside from the 3 that are part of the Musical Gardens display, but the beauty of the well-kempt grounds made up for that! A nice plus was being able to being our supplies to have a picnic spread in a designated area.

Visiting the Gardens of Versailles and the Grand Canal was an amazing experience. The scale and beauty of the gardens are truly stunning. Designed by André Le Nôtre in the 17th century for Louis XIV, they show the king’s wish for order, balance, and perfection. Every path, tree, and fountain is carefully planned, making the entire space look 1st-class and top-class amazing from every angle. Walking through the gardens, you can really feel their history. This is where kings, queens, and courtiers once strolled, surrounded by sculptures, flowerbeds, and water features. The fountains, some of which still use the original water system, are breath-taking when they are running. The symmetry and precision of the layout make the gardens one of the most impressive examples of classical French design ever created. The Grand Canal, stretching more than a kilometer, is one of the most superb parts of Versailles. It was used for boating and royal events, and even now, you can rent a small boat to enjoy the calm water and perfect views of the palace. Standing there, looking back toward the palace, you understand why the Gardens of Versailles are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The combination of the gardens and the Grand Canal makes Versailles not only one of the most beautiful palaces in the world but also home to one of the most remarkable landscapes ever designed. It’s a place of harmony, history, and elegance—truly breath-taking to visit. Mame sure you have a suitablr footwear on as there is a lot of walking around through the grounds.

We spent nearly two hours strolling through the garden, and it was a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of Paris. Despite the summer heat, the shade from the trees, the coolness of the water features, and the lush greenery made the experience thoroughly enjoyable. The fountains, each uniquely designed, added unparalleled elegance, while intricately carved marble statues dotted the landscape. Some sections of the garden feature patterned lawns that create breathtaking views from the tops of wide staircases. As you walk along the path, the distant view of the palace adds to the grandeur. Overall, it was a lovely and leisurely walk through an opulent garden, beautifully maintained and rich in detail.

These Gardens are absolutely spectacular, but make sure you wear comfy shoes as they literally go on for miles. Thankfully, we took the train that took us around and dropped us off at different places. Otherwise I can’t even imagine. I will say we spent a whole day here at the palace in the gardens and I would definitely come back to explore the gardens anymore because I feel like we didn’t see half of it.

Gorgeous manicured gardens, with sprawling mazes and beautiful fountains and statuary. You can blissfully wander for hours, finding new alcoves and statuary. It can get very hot with limited shade in some areas. I recommend bringing a hat or umbrella for shade. The fountains only run on the weekends, and the crowds were about the same when we were there on a Thursday and then the following Saturday.

Here's the deal: If you are doing the ride all the way to Versailles, just pay to see the gardens as well. The palace is gorgeous, but it is only made more impressive thanks to it's MASSIVE gardens. Take into consideration that if you do see the gardens, Versailles will basically be a full day trip for you, so if you really are running around trying to see everything in Paris and are dying to see Versailles, I would say to skip Versailles entirely and just come on a second trip, since the gardens are actually worth it. Think this: if you do both the palace and the gardens, your time will go up to 3-4 hours total in Versailles, maybe more if you walk all the way to Marie Antoinette's residence. Considering the ride there and back, you will end up using around 6 hours, instead of 3, if you only did the castle. Long story short: the ride there alone makes the gardens worth it.

The Gardens of Versailles are an expansive masterpiece of formal French landscaping, designed by André Le Nôtre in the 17th century. Their geometric lawns, grand fountains, and ornamental groves were intended to reflect the power and order of Louis XIV’s reign

They only have two options - 4-courses and 7-courses. Given the small portion, I’d recommend the 7-course one if you’re hungry. They have wine pairing too. Food is awesome and impressive! Love the sweetbread and the dessert. I’ll come again if I visit the city.

Exceptional food and service. One of the best restaurants I've been in France. Well worth the Michelin Star. I had the 4 course meal at lunch and for me thought it was about right. But if you are hungry, might choose the 7 course.

Not only the best restaurant we’ve eaten at in France, but the best restaurant we’ve ever eaten at. First off, the staff and service were phenomenal. They were on point. Loved the minimalistic environment and the small details like the plate ware. Presentation of the dishes were all beautiful. We did the tasting menu. Every single dish was amazing. We were always excited to see what the next dish would be. We also had a hard time picking a favorite! Also the wasabi butter? I hate wasabi and that was the best damn butter I’ve ever had hahaha. They were very accommodating to our English speaking as well. I would hands down go back here. Absolutely worth every penny. Thank you! And sorry for rushing out so fast, we had to catch a train!

The dish was extremely delicious. I’m always depressed about how normal chef cooks fish, because I come from where fish are delicately and deliciously cooked. At this restaurant the fish was surprisingly deliciously cooked . I wondered why this restaurant stays bib groumand, not michellin star. The interior and every small items are all chic. Maybe this is because of the staff? Though I enjoyed the meals very much but I didn’t feel as comfortable as in the other luxurious restaurants. This is a shame. The price is rather generous than michellin star restaurants.

We stumbled upon this place on the way to get coffee, we took a chance and asked if they had any spots for lunch and they did! We were shocked a Michelin star restaurant was willing to seat us without reservation. Food was incredible, service was good (not great - they are not personable and only come around to grab plates). They add an amuse bouche and chocolate truffle to every meal. PS if you don’t specifically go out of the way and ask for your bill you will never got it

As someone new to this kind of dining let me just say, don't be intimidated! The staff here were incredibly helpful and nice. The menu has only a few things each day including vegetables and herbs from the garden of the chef. Our experience was either a 3 or 5 course meal to select from and you can choose a wine pairing to go with it. The prices were incredibly reasonable for this type of establishment and the food was insanely good. Every detail is thought of and the wait staff ensures a top notch dining experience. Make sure you get a reservation because this place can book up fast! We even got to shake hands with the chef after our meal. I highly recommend this place!

Great experience and food. The crème Camembert is incredible

On a crisp grey late Saturday afternoon, people filed in for afternoon tea, drinks or bites to eat. It looked like they were returning from time spend in the Gardens. We did the same. The pastries were exquisite and the Gordon Ramsey take on a burger the French style was very good although maybe a bit rich.

Chef Gabriele and his team, and the maître d’hote were amazing. Extremely refined and rehearsed team. It was like a dance and we couldn’t hear the footsteps of the service team. There was always French baguette on our plates and water at the perfect amount. It was so nice to visit the kitchen. We loved our sommelier Alexis who passionately explained every wine and we enjoyed Amandine who is a cheese expert also. We will be back to dine here, and we felt very well fed here. A beautiful view and a great celebration of our marriage. Eating like Kings and Queens here at Trianon Palace is a historical transport in time like no other.

Visiting a Gordon Ramsay establishment is always a culinary experience, and so it was. Creative dishes presented in the most beautiful way. It’s a buck, but worth it for a good memory!

Excellent service and food. We chose the 7 courses menu dégustation, and there were three complementary finger food which goes with the apéritif that we ordered! What a surprise and they were really good! I put what we liked the most in the photos. Reasonable price for what we experienced last night. We will come back in the summer because I guess there will be a nicer view!

We booked this restaurant as we were staying in the hotel for a few days on our visit to Versaille. The hotel and restaurant are beautiful. Staff are friendly but for a restaurant of this calibre, very understaffed. Understaffing is a general theme of many businesses around the world, however, it shouldn’t be an issue in a restaurant in this class. That being said with the service as is, it limits its ability to achieve those coveted Michelin stars. Wine/champagne services was slow. On many occasions customers either poured their own or had to be prompted to refill their glasses. When it was poured they poured too much which caused it to be warm by the time it was consumed. We chose the Prestige tasting menu which was a 9 course tasting menu. I’ll point out only a few courses. Abnormally long waits between courses. Almost uncomfortably long. Might be short staffed (UPDATE: confirmed staffing shortage with the chef) We waited 30 min between course 4 and 5 out of 9 courses. We had to prompt the waitress who said she would go ask with the chef. The 5th course - that we waited for, was not worth the wait as they rushed presentation. The artichoke with the ricotta cheese again felt out of place with the sour berries and barley. The beef itself was flavourful, cooked to a perfect medium rare and went well with the sauce of cardamom and barley. Main waitress who served us agreed that too many flavours were added in the main course of beef. Also agreed with too much time between the courses. We asked them to speed up, which is not something I have ever had to do for a tasting menu. This was probably my 40th tasting menu and so I’ve never experienced it before. We got to meet the chef Gabriele Raviosa, a 35 year old chef with lots of energy and passion. He was really nice and will certainly go places. It’s not easy running a restaurant without all the staff that you need to provide the experience. So kudos to him for keeping it together as much as he did without the staff required. With better service and working on some of those flavour combinations this could easily be a 5/5

I will start with just a little criticism. And that is about the seafood mousse. There were too many flavors on the plate and I couldn’t focus on a few. The flavors competed with each other and it wasn’t savory. It was confusing because the vanilla and sweet taste did not complement the dish. Now the rest of the food was absolutely to die for. When I googled Michelin star restaurants and saw Gordon Ramsay, I was apprehensive. I expected a lot of hype due to a celebrity owned restaurant. However, the first course canapés would make anyone weep. The baguette and butter was divine also. Normally I hate Chardonnay and I call it Karen’s gasoline but the wine pairing with the bread and butter starter was absolutely amazing. I was also apprehensive about eating beef tongue but again I was shocked. The Pinot noir pairing was diving and the mixture of raspberries was complete genius. The bruschetta/olive/peeled grape plate was so fresh and savory. I also never thought I would try pigeon in my life and I found it’s one of my favorite dishes. The chef prepares it medium rare with red wine and it was heavenly. We ended with honeyed wine and a basil sorbet. This entire experience has inspired me to take up cooking and exploring new foods again. I appreciated every moment and especially the service. Our host from Colombia was extremely genial and attentive. I obviously recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling to Versailles. Also, get the cheese platter it is completely worth the €22. Again, when I get home I am researching the wine list and finding every type of cheese I tried.

probably the best meal of my life. all hits, no misses. every dish was familiar but the presentation, technique, and textures were inventive. can’t wait to return for other seasons.

Our recent dining experience, based on a pre-arranged set menu, showcased satisfactory food quality. The French fries were particularly well-prepared, exhibiting a desirable balance of crispness and texture. The fish and sausage dishes were acceptable. Service was adequate, and the restaurant accommodated a sizable number of patrons. The establishment's central location proved convenient.

We were able to walk in for lunch without a reservation but it was late after 13:30. We were seated on the patio which was lovely except for wasps. The food came out really quickly. I had the Onion Soup and it was great. My family had fish and chips and it was good. The bar inside is really beautiful. It was a nice relaxing lunch to break up our walk to the Trianon estates.

This is probably your best bet for dining at Versailles (aside from Angelina, which we didn't try, but at least it lives by some standards). We first popped into the quick service spot right outside the palace (Grand Cafe Orleans) and was very disappointed in the absolutely boring selection of sandwiches and prepared items. We decided to save our appetite until after we walked through the gardens and dine at La Flottille instead. This was a much better option. The food overall was satisfying and quite decent/good. It was crowded and quite loud, and our server was literally running around. He was very kind and did his best, but there was A LOT going on in there. That being said, I think it was still totally worth it to wait until we could sit down properly and eat some food cooked just for us. The prices were honestly fine in my opinion for a meal at Versailles. Although the food was good, it was still just average. Nothing to write home about but also satisfying enough that I would probably eat here again if I was visiting Versailles versus the other dining options.

Damn incredible vibe, food and staff. Unexpectedly high quality for inside a tourist attraction. Definitely come here for lunch on your Versailles visit you won’t regret it,

Excellent place for a delicious lunch near Versailles! Staff is friendly and service is quick. It can get extremely busy at lunch, so I recommend arriving earlier than 1 pm to secure a table if you don't have a reservation. There are tables inside and outside near the lake. Highly recommend sitting outside when weather permits!

What a gem! Considering the location, i wasn’t expecting much but i was so wrong!! Such a charming restaurant, the kindest waiters that despite the number of tables made sure we had all we needed, really tasty dishes and a marvelous dessert (the floating island). I’m definitely coming back! Highly recommended

The place seems interested only in the flow of tourists, not in their experience. The service is rushed, lacking professionalism and attention, and unfortunately, the food does not meet expectations. An experience focused more on quantity than on quality.

A great place to eat when visiting Versailles Palace. Beware that it is about a 15-20 minute walk from the Palace through the gardens. The food was excellent. The service was a little slow but this didn’t affect our enjoyment. The converted barn is charming with many of the original features. An expensive but satisfying experience.

I love it. We spent the whole day in Versailles so food option within the palace grounds is the best for us. Chose this place. It’s a bit more expensive but the food is spot on! The limoncello was also very delicious. It’s not overly sweet, it’s just right. I would recommend this place for lunch in Versailles.

We visited today since lunch was included with our passport et dejeuner ticket at Versailles. We had such a lovely meal! Our meal included an appetizer, two entrees and a dessert, as well as coffee or tea. We decided to add on a bottle of wine as well. I didn’t expect much from a restaurant at Versailles but we were soooo pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was beautiful. The presentation of the food was the best we’ve seen so far in Paris and not only did the food look amazing but it was also delicious. Service was wonderful, the best we’ve had in Paris area so far! Roxane was our waitress and she was amazing! She was so kind, attentive, and her work ethic was top notch and even though there were a lot of people dining she made sure everyone’s experience was great. The rest of the staff was also very sweet, willing to take our picture and greeting us and saying good bye. We had such a great experience. Merci beaucoup!

I highly recommend making a reservation at this beautiful restaurant inside of the gardens at Versailles. The pasta with mushrooms and truffles was delicious, and the ambiance was perfect for discussing our day at the palace. The restaurant was full by 12:45 PM.

We had a wonderful time and we would absolutely visit and eat here again! The service was very professional. Give lots of time to get to the restaurant. The grounds are very large.

TLDR: If you have ~ 1.5 hrs to kill come here sip on a sprits eat good food and enjoy the calm cool atmosphere of this place. A beautiful hidden patio on the grounds of the palace. The food was above average but the wait was far below. We visited towards the tail end of the lunch service, just before 2 pm (14:00hr) , we waited ~30 min in line and another 15 before our order was placed. Was it worth the wait? Given the limited options around I guess so. For what it’s worth I did lick my bowl clean of its sauce. The truffle cream pasta did not disappoint and is a big recommendation!

This was part of the tickets for the palace. However, getting to this place by foot requires a bit of effort. Could use a few more signs for the foreign visitors like us. Though the ground staff were very helpful. They were plenty around and ready to assist. We were given a set meal option but were able to upgrade with just a few Euros. We opted for the orange apple ginger juice, the fish with bacon and fresh peas, and chicken with cabbage white sauce. I wasn't expecting something great, but the dishes were superb even though the service was a bit slow. The juice was refreshing. The ricotta and asparagus soup were delicious. Fish was perfectly cooked, flaky, and moist. Perfect with the crispy bacon with the peas. The chicken was seasoned well and tender.

The highlight of our trip to Paris! Wonderful and knowledgeable staff who made our experience so memorable. We were welcomed in from the rain and seated promptly, had wines and foods recommended appropriately and kindly, despite us not being wine experts! Small and cozy, but we never felt cramped. A true hidden gem! I'd give it 6 stars if I could!

Friendly staff, excellent traditional French food and beautiful wine selection. Truly awesome experience.

The food tasted delicious, the wine selection was great and the staff friendly and knowledgeable. Overall great experience !

Rustic Charm and Exceptional Cuisine at sept. in Versailles If you're looking for an authentic French dining experience in the heart of Versailles, look no further than sept. This rustic gem boasts amazing food, first-class service, and a cozy ambiance that will make you feel right at home. Upon arriving, we were warmly greeted by the host, Darius, who proved to be an absolute master of his trade. His wine suggestions were spot-on, perfectly complementing our meal at a reasonable 7 euros per glass. For starters, we opted for the lentils and herring - both were delightful and set the stage for the main course. My wife and I both ordered the bavette steak, and we were impressed with how perfectly they were cooked to our individual preferences. Mine was served "a point" (rare), while my wife's was a flawless medium-well. The cheese plate was a highlight of the evening, offering a generous selection of top-quality cheeses. We rounded out our meal with the decadent chocolate fondant, a dessert that left us utterly satisfied.

Don't spread the news: still absolutely the best place in Versailles, close to the castle and the bustling street of Montreuil It is true, I am not an occasional visitor of Le Sept. I go there at least once a week since four years now, and I never ever had a bad experience. It feels like a private dining room, the staff is like family ... the chef is exceptional and wears his smile wherever he goes. Darius and Nathanael are THE greatest wine experts you can imagine, and Edouard who joined recently as a second waiter has a great sense of service and does a great job. But again, don't spread the news, so that I still can get a table next time. When one day, you do not get a table here, go to La Buvette (38 rue Carnot in Versailles), which is the second Wine Bar which Le Sept opened recently. A great tip for the Olympic Games in summer, because it is even closer to the Versailles Castle

Very good food and friendly service! Certainly one of the best places that we have eaten in France.

Fantastic service, incredible range of vodkas and decent prices. Would definitely recommend
