Versailles

The Versailles Restaurant is typically a must-visit in Miami; it's an iconic spot located in the heart of the city. It features a traditional coffee shop and its distinctive walk-up window where they serve Cuban coffee and the classic Cuban toast. It's a traditional restaurant that preserves its Cuban roots, maintaining a completely Latin and welcoming atmosphere. It's evident that people from diverse cultures frequent the restaurant to experience what Miami is all about. The food they offer has an exquisite flavor, complemented by their exceptional pastries. As a historic establishment, they have a great opportunity to continue growing and reaching even higher standards.

We went to Versailles for the Cuban Sunday breakfast buffet, and we were pleasantly surprised. The flavors were very well balanced—nothing was overly salty, which we really appreciated. Even the fried chicken was perfectly seasoned and honestly one of the best I’ve had. The service was good, attentive and friendly. The croquettes and picadillo were especially tasty, and of course we ordered café con leche, which was just right. My last visit was back in 2023, and I can definitely say there’s been an improvement. There was more variety of desserts this time, and the Quin dim was the best—absolutely delicious

Absolutely phenomenal. A good friend of ours that’s a local in Miami suggested this location. Indeed it is magical. The bar staff outside on the patio was wonderful and the drinks were spectacular. Once inside, Nelson was an amazing server, and he guided us through a very extensive menu to point out some of the best sampler dishes to try. Each of them were spectacular. I wish I would’ve taken more photos of everything we ordered, but it was all 100% perfect. I was absolutely moved to see the Cuban community come together in such a unique display. To see the local community, and world arrive at the doorstep at this location was really a sight to see. They might have amazing food, but the culture and feel, an overall vibe of the staff was something I have rarely seen in the United States. Truly a community restaurant to every definition. Highly worth attending, and we will absolutely make this a stop every time we come to Miami for a cruise. We headed over to the bakery for dinner and had an exceptional time there. Don’t miss both locations since they’re adjacent.

YUP! Versailles lives up to allllll the hype! 🔥 Amazing cuban sandwich. Empanadas were super flavorful and extra crispy. 😋 OF COURSE we had to get the cafe con leche. Make sure to get it with evaporated milk; it gives it an extra richness and creaminess. We visited La Ventanita to get some drinks to go as well! On our last day in Miami, we went back again for one last round of Cafe con Leches and empanadas. We also tried the Media Noche that time and it was SO delicious. 🔥 With all the popularity, definitely expect a wait. We waited 30 mins but it felt like less than that. Service was pretty good. Our waitress was sweet and kind to the whole family, but she didn’t come around much to see if we needed anything. Might’ve been covering too many tables. Not sure but it was still a great time.

BEYOND!!! Vaca frita was out of this world. Perfect combination of juicy and crispy, not to mention ultra flavorful. Stuffed plantain appetizer and ceviche were nothing special. I adored the ham cheese croquettes. The service is fast and friendly. The decor is fabulous. It has the same welcoming feeling as a diner while still having a bit of “special occasion” edge. The prices are approachable. I will be back!
