Excellent Cuban restaurant. We were recommended to come here while in town the week of Christmas by a friend of my wife. Very family friendly and busy! Food was great and came fairly quickly. I even had to order me a Cuban sandwich to go and that thing came in clutch about midnight when I was hungry again. I definitely recommend Versailles if you're in the area. There is a bakery next door by the same name. It looked amazing too. It definitely has that old school vibe to it.

Surprisingly good value, and generous servings. This restaurant with its Cuban sandwich featured in the 2014 movie "Chef," so no wonder it was busy and took 45 minutes to get in. Service was very efficient. The ceviche appetizer was full of flavor, and the squid appetizer was surprisingly good. The signature Cuban sandwich was plain, with no tangy sauce or interesting seasoning, just plain mustard. The roast pork Cuban style had a rich and hearty sauce but wasn't as tender as I'd hoped. The Cuban sampler was a good choice because the menu was so overwhelming - though the cassava was very bland. Highlight of the meal for me was the plantains, which came with nearly every dish, and were full of flavor and not overly sweet.

This was our first time trying the popular Cuban restaurant in Miami. They don't take reservations. It's first come, first serve. The place was crowded, but we only had a twenty minute wait. The menu is extensive with many Cuban dishes to choose from. Everything came out excellent. Our service was wonderful too. The prices were very reasonable. Sometimes, when a place is very popular, the food is over-priced. This definitely isn't the case. We got two delicious entrees, an appetizer, and a bowl of soup for under $50. We had a great experience for dinner.

Food was simple yet light and tasty. Plantains cooked just right and not greasy. Rice and beans cook and stirred just the right amount and not too much. Fish tasted well and very satisfying for. the price. Worth the wait and the coffee and pastry next door was excellent and a great appetizer.

My favorite restaurant in Miami. I drove through the city yesterday on my way back from the Keys and made a special stop to share the experience for the first time with my fiance and kids. I had the world's best Cuban coffee, followed by an outstanding roast pork sandwich - flavorful and juicy. The pressed buttered Cuban bread on the table is addicting. Though lines are long, the wait isn't. Service is outstanding. A must for every visit to Miami.

Delicious Cuban food. Felt authentic and home made just what we were looking for. Mega bonus is no diarrhea. It was very clean and pleasant. Highly recommend the desserts! One star off cause the paella was very over salted.

Such a staple place in Miami, just good every time. The place is huge and always packed. Service is good and fast but clearly feels more like a dinner than anything else. Food is great, anything you order is great. Price is very accesible, we spent about $35 for two including tip. Will definitely keep coming back.

So, so good! It is a bit of a mix between traditional and touristy, but there seems to be enough locals to justify a visit due to the quality of the food. Architecture is grand and stylish, with a lot of interesting decorative touches. Service was very good and efficient but notice that some folks might have a bit of trouble with English. The food was great and a very, very good value. Everything we ordered was good and plentiful. The Sangria pitch had a very good price and was a great addition to the meal. The Roast Beef Tongue was delicious. It is so hard to find well-done tongue in the US so definitely worth ordering it.

Versailles Restaurant is a true gem in Miami. The Cuban cuisine served here is simply outstanding. Every dish is prepared with utmost care and attention to detail. The ambiance of the restaurant takes you back to Havana, with its lively atmosphere and authentic décor. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure that every guest feels welcome and satisfied. If you're in Miami and craving some delicious Cuban food, Versailles Restaurant is an absolute must-visit.

Very delicious food. Highly recommend this place if you want a true taste of Little Havana. Service was excellent and not to mention the deserts. They also have a bakery. Must visit again.

Stopped because of the hype it got on YouTube the food I ordered was somewhat disappointing but the fried sweet plantains beans and rice were amazing. Keylime pie wasn’t up to par, and the chicken was very oily and unsavory. Overall atmosphere was Great and the staff were great as well. the flan was amazing and so was the Cuban coffee. Cuban sandwich was okay, definitely can be better.

This place is not overrated. We waited about 30 minutes and then about another 20 or 30 to get the food. The place was packed wall to wall and I see why now. It's very good. No need to go into detail. Just go and enjoy. Worth the wait.

Had a 5pm dinner on a Wednesday night and there was no wait and the restaurant was maybe half full. Waited a while to order and service overall was on the leisurely side. The restaurant may be “The World’s Most Famous Cuban Restaurant” but the food wasn’t so much. Maybe we didn’t order the right dishes but it didn’t live up to the hype. The chicken soup and shrimp cocktail were good but the Roast Pork Cuban Style was on the dry side and the Chicken & Yellow Rice was just OK. Prices were very reasonable but we expected better tasting food & service based on the stellar ratings.

Excellent! Good spot for some solid Cuban food that isn't very expensive either. We waited a bit for a seat and put our name down, then waited around as they don't take your phone numbers. Lots of seating inside, which was nice. The menu is large and lots to choose from. I went with the classic plate, which was a good mix of foods to get the Cuban experience. Wasn't too expensive either! Overall, it was a very good time. We'll be back!

Our recent dining adventure at Versailles Restaurant in Miami was an absolute delight that left a lasting impression. Our visits to this iconic establishment, not just once but twice, were a testament to its renowned reputation and undeniable allure. Dinner at Versailles was nothing short of a revelation. The experience was a harmonious blend of rich flavors and an inviting ambiance. From the moment we savored the Grilled “Palomilla” Steak that seemed to melt in the mouth, to the aromatic symphony of the Yellow Rice with Black Beans, each dish felt like a tribute to timeless recipes and culinary expertise. A standout was undoubtedly the Yuca Fries with Cilantro Sauce. The crispy texture of the fries, accompanied by the zingy kick of the cilantro sauce, delivered a delightful combination that set the stage for the incredible courses that followed. Our escapade at Versailles wasn't just a meal; it was an exploration of authentic flavors and a testament to culinary artistry. The dedication to preserving age-old recipes while infusing them with modern charm was evident in every bite. If you're seeking an unforgettable dining experience in Miami, I wholeheartedly recommend Versailles Restaurant. From the delectable menu to the inviting ambiance, it's a destination that encapsulates the essence of Miami's vibrant culinary scene. Our visits were a testament to the enduring appeal of Versailles, and we can't wait to return for more exceptional moments.

Busy place…..we went on a Wednesday afternoon, around 2pm…..about a 20 minute wait. Great fast service, very good Cuban food, with super affordable prices. The place is a little old, but clean and bright. Again, it’s worth visiting.

As soon as we checked we were seated right away, walking through I didn't realize how big the restaurant was until we were walking to our table. We started off with appetizers VERSAILLES COMBO. That definitely was a good start to the beginning. The cilantro sauce was definitely the highlight. We added a half pitcher of Sangria. It is a must try not too strong and not to weak, you definitely gets your money worth. They don't pour ice into the pitcher so you get simply sangria and the fruit, ice is in your cup. For dinner I had the ROAST PORK CUBAN STYLE and my daughter had the FRIED PORK CHUNKS. Both were so good but for sure the Roast pork took the show for me. Nothing disappointed us. Service was great, food was delicious, fast, hot and tasty. But the thing that took the show for me was Cortadito with evaporated milk, best sip of coffee for me. It was hot, sweet, and creamy. If I could have got a large cup of it to go, I would have.

As someone trying Cuban food for the first time, I had an amazing experience. Food was fresh and tasted delicious. Would definitely recommend their stuffed plantain, quarter chicken and imperial rice. The gravy on the chicken is too good. 🤌🏽The restaurant being this good, has obvious wait time to be seated. Plan your visit accordingly. Cheers.

Great Cuban food, good atmosphere even on the courtyard waiting for our table. It is first come, first served, so you probably need to wait at busy times. We went for lunch on New Years day and it was understandably busy. The wait is made more pleasant with a cocktail from the outdoor bar. Staff and other customers very welcoming. Food was great and a good price. Excellent empanadas, pork chunks and Cuban sampler plates. Food comes fast, is very fresh and flavourful. Highly recommended.

Nice place. Price reasonable. Food tasted. Waitress are nice and helpful.

Truly a Cuban institution in Miami. A visit to world’s most popular Cuban restaurant (1971) that can host 350 people in the dining area. This is where Cuban gathered to plot against Fidel Castro. This is where US presidents, governors and mayors came to sipping Cuban coffee.

Very friendly staff and food was great! Very happy we decided to go here instead of the other places in the are. The prices were reasonable and we had a great time getting accustomed to Cuban food. Would visit here or bring family visiting the area for the unique experience.

It’s a historic site to visit while in Miami but it needs a little remodeling in the inside. The food is great for the price. They serve an excess amount of food that you can share with someone. They have a restaurant, a bakery and an outdoor window for the quick bites. They have indoor as well as outdoor seating. There’s a small parking are in the front, but in the side, there two additional lots where you may park. I suggest to go there early to eat because it does get packed.

This was an almost heartbreaking for my wife and I, you would have thought that this place would hold up to the brand name. It’s best they stick to the clothing market. Food was a 2 star my chicken i ordered was so dry can I say so dry, my wife food was fair due to no meat meal so we can give a honest review on that. The building it’s self is pretty cool, the desert was better then the whole meal, the drinks was a miss could have put just little more kick to them the were beautiful to look at yet no buzz for us. You should definitely check by and look at the building. This place is best for the location and for you to stop by and just take pictures. The pool was amazing hats where we sat at. For me I would try again with another meal for my wife it’s a no go. Altogether we spent a little over $300.00 so be prepared for it.

I was there after lunch and was sat within 5 minutes. The croquettes were great, the pork was best, fish was good but less than other two being amazing. Boliche was delicious. Great experience and will bring others next time maybe for dinner. Lots of food for very reasonable prices.

Established in 1971, this restaurant has become an Institution in Miami. Traditional specialties like”Ropa Vieja”, “Vaca Frita”, “Rabo Encendido”, “Masitas de Puerco”, “Arroz con Pollo”, “Sándwich Cubano” along with moros and maduros can be enjoyed here. Cuban Coffee is mandatory. You have the feeling to be abroad in the Caribbean Island. Service is inconsistent, sometimes very slow and other times very attentive. However, a visit is a must when coming to South Florida!

Very good tasting pastries.their cafe con leche is amazing. They offer on site parking which is good because you dont have to park on the street. I would definitely come again

Are there better Cuban restaurants in Miami and also in little Havana? Yes, of course there are. but do they have the same combination of history, service, atmosphere, food, and of course, a top-notch bakery? No, they do not. And it's probably one of the best places you can bring out of towners if they're visiting the area for the first time. You can hate it for its politics, but I let it slide, I still like to go there and bring people there.

Great restaurant and excellent customer service. There are lots of yummy treats to pick up at the bakery. The coffee is great. The lineup moves quickly and efficiently. We went on a day when the funeral service for the owner was taking place that day. He did a great job for the community and opened up a great restaurant that will be there for years to come. The love of the employees can be seen in this restaurant/bakery.

Stopped by for a visit and early dinner and was not disappointed. The food was good and the employees were accommodating. The place was packed and we had about a 30 minute wait but it went fast.

Extremely affordable dinner. The restaurant had so many options. I wouldn't say that the food was out of this world, but for the price, you got a great sized portion meal that was good. The wait staff was super attentive. There was a wait outside for dinner with close to 20 people, but the wait was only like 10 minutes.

This is a huge place that runs like a smaller cafe. Service is sharp and fast. From the moment you walk in there they engage you and get you seated. The menu is extensive of traditional Cuban food. There is a lot of people here!! It speaks to its reputation, quality, authenticity and service. The servers were so friendly and attentive. The Mojitos are excellent! The food was delicious. Service was rapid. Servings are generous. The croquettes were very good.

This was probably the best place we ate our entire vacation. The Chicken Versailles was so delicious. Wait staff is super friendly and helpful. They were super busy but we were seated quickly and the food came out very fast. Free parking across the road seemed to be plentiful and easy to navigate. A lot of seating available under a tent while waiting to be seated.

Worst service, food came out cold order missing items, waitress only came to check on us when we had finished the meal. She asked how was everything we politely mentioned the missing items and cold food, her exact response " I have nothing to do with the kitchen", not evev a sorry, we were so surprised with her rudeness we just requested the check. Too much hype for this iconic restaurant in MIAMI. Next time I visit Miami will definitely go elsewhere. It was embarrassing because we took a first time guest because of the reputation of this restaurant.

The food and service was good despite how busy it was. We waited ten minutes to be seated. Food came out in timely manner. Very family and kid friendly place. Definitely would return.

It's recommended as the must visit Cuban restaurant when you visit little Havana in Miami. We've been there, waited for 40 minutes before getting a table. The food was delicious. For a family of four we should have ordered 3 entrees as the portions were huge. We also purchased some bakery from its sister bakery store, also a long wait, but worth the effort.

I loved the shrimp paella. The service was responsive, despite there being a full house. The coffee is good and the atmosphere is fantastic. The outdoor area is open and spacious. This was my first Cuban experience and it was great. If there are any doubts about where to eat, just try versailles and the doubts will settled. Try this place. 100% excellent.

Amazing Spot with 2 big indoor dining rooms and a big patio. It looks and feels very classy. The decorations and chandeliers and the service is on point. And I couldn’t believe the prices, they are so cheap and the food is soooooo good. This place is always packed. Very nice atmosphere. Heard a lot about this place so I had to try it in my first visit to Miami. This was honestly a fine dining experience with cheap prices.

Must try. Delicious food with Cuban style and accessible to any wallet. Our waiter was super nice and the patrons respectful. An enjoyable experience

One of the best places in Miami to have real Cuban food! The taste is just great! Here you can find all the most common/traditional cuban dishes, and cooked with great excellence. They also have a huge variety of desserts. The staff is very friendly and the prices are good. There is a chance that you may need to wait some minutes outside, until a table is ready, but the wait is usually not too long and it is totally worth it. I recommend this place 100%.

This is definitely hotspot in Little Havana. Make it a point to visit this place if you are in the area! It gets two thumbs up from me. Do not be frightened if you see a long waiting line they are very well organized plus it's worth the wait. The food was very authentic and the customer service was outstanding.

Came here after a girls weekend in Miami, recommended by my Dance director. Her favorite restaurant, Was quite a few people waiting as you can see but it moved very fast. A good size restaurant and a large menu to choose from. The food and drinks were great.

Very nice place for the best Cuban food in Miami. The staff is very helpful and the quality of the food was amazing. We had to come back the next day before leaving Miami. Be sure to visit them if you want good food for a nice price.

Visited Versailles Restaurant in Miami. The food was outstanding and so was the cheese Danish from the pastry shop. Definitely worth visiting for dinner!

Well worth the wait and the wait wasn’t even that long! Excellent food and excellent service!

So authentic that the staff doesn't care about being nice to the patrons. This place is intentional in what they do and how they do it. Food is good - right ingredients following the old school recipes. Portions could definitely be bigger. I'd recommend ordering several plates and have them family style

When googling authentic Cuban cuisine this came up at the top of the list. Initially it was appealing because it had parking available which is a definite perk in a city. We played it safe going mid afternoon as I’ve heard it can get busy. We were seated within about 5 minutes. The decor I can only describe as ornate diner but it was definitely fun. The food arrived quickly, was a large portion, and was tasty. It wasn’t the best Cuban food I’ve had but I liked the history behind the restaurant which I read online making it a worthwhile stop.

Hidden gem in Miami! Affordable, tasty food and the ambience is really amazing! They also have a cuban coffee for $1.50 and it tasty! Would recommend! The only thing is, they do not accept reservation and the wait time is about 20-30 minutes but definitely worth the wait!

First timer in Miami & had to come here to try it out & it did not disappoint! They're famous for a reason, tried their guava & cream cheese & their ham empanada. Super super good! $5 for 3 pastries is already worth the hype. Satisfied that brunch snack. Need to come back for other pastry goods!

This is the Cuban food spot you are looking for. Went on a Saturday at 1:45PM. Long line on the patio...put our name on the list and grabbed a mojito from the patio bar for the wait. Line moved pretty fast, we were seated in about 30 min. Large menu. We went for the basics....Cuban sandwich with boiled yucca/mojo and roasted pork with moros and yucca. Also had fried yucca app with the insanely good cilantro sauce. All food and drinks came out reasonably fast. The food was a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Just what we were looking for. Can't hype Versailles up enough. Worth making this a lunch destination

Versailles Cuban Cuisine lights up the night with its neon glow, promising an authentic culinary experience. The bean soup may have been a bit too subdued for my taste, but my friend found it quite enjoyable—a reminder that flavor is in the palate of the beholder. The real star of the show, however, was the seafood mix drenched in a creamy white sauce. Every bite was a journey through a sea of fresh, perfectly cooked seafood, each morsel harmonizing with the luxurious sauce that begged to be savored. The crusty topping added a delightful textural contrast that made the dish not just food, but an experience. It’s a dish I would happily clear off the plate every time.

What a fun place! There’s a courtyard outside with a bar where everyone waits for a table. The average wait is 30’. The service was good and friendly but the food wasn’t spectacular. Better Cuban in New York!

It's worth the hype. It was very crowded on a Thursday afternoon with quite a few groups waiting. The restaurant is large so the line was moving quickly. Glad we waited. The food was great.

Two years ago, I came to Miami just to visit my favorite restaurant for 20 years, Versailles. The pandemic had left it to me unsatisfactory 1 star. Poor service and food. But Baby they're BACk 5 STARs all the way. Food, Service and Atmosphere 💯 5 Stars!!!!

Hands down you're going to have to wait to get in! Plan to queue for up to 45 minutes.... and no, you cannot call and book ahead! They don't make exceptions. That in and of itself displays this restaurant's popularity. Long story short you won't be disappointed. Whatever torture you endured inhaling gorgeous food aromas while waiting will be well rewarded. When you're done eating they'll kinda expect you to go on your way so others can also enjoy. In my opinion it's only fair. My advice:-It may be a good idea to acquaint yourself with the menu as you wait. It's extensive. Also if you come later (say an hour or two to closing) you'll get to linger longer after your meal.

As always, Versailles restaurant does not disappoint. A staple of Cuban food for over 50 years here in Miami. The food is always wonderful, the service is great. The parking is very very safe, just an overall great Cuban food experience.

Stopped in for lunch, had to have a Cuban sandwich which was enough for two! Wonderful pastry selections.tge photos don't do the flavors justice. Just go!!

When in Little Havana, I definitely recommend hitting this place for your Cuban food experience. The outside of the building was beautiful to just look at. Same with inside interior. As for the food, OMG, all of it was delicious. We all ordered something different, and table shared everything. It was extremely hard to not order another dish after we were done because we wanted to try more. If you have never had Cuban food, definitely hit this place because you will not be disappointed.

Great restaurant with great food! Also check out the great bakery and the coffee place, the Flan is fantastic! However, since the place is so popular, plan your meal ahead - normally there is always a queue and you have to wait quite long. We loved it there- 10/10!
