Lyautey - Versailles

Lovely stop in Versailles. Excellent service, drinks and food. We had a platter with ham, cheese, pickle, and two kinds of sausage. The baguette was fresh and delicious.

Service was abysmally slow. I saw that others had also complained. 15 minutes before anyone came to the table, and so my husband got a menu from inside as the IPhone menu would not come up. The waiter made a comment that he could tell we were not happy because he didn’t rush. That set the tone. The food was actually pretty good- a hamburger and a duck breast sandwich and fries, We asked twice (2 other waiters as we never saw our waiter again after he took our order) for our bill. Finally we husband went inside and paid at the bar. The other waiters were pleasant and obviously embarrassed by their colleague. This was not a gourmet meal. And it was obvious we were on our way as we had our luggage with us. It was our only encounter in France with the stereotypical snooty French waiter. He was rude and unprofessional. Too bad.

I must be the worst person ever for picking food choices in France. The service of this place was pretty dire. Slow and the guys service didn't seem to know who ordered what and who asked for their bill. We ordered the quiche, it wasn't great. Few tables around us had service issues as well. I see a few other reviewers had a similar experience. Avoid. It would be nice to find a decent place we ate at in France tbh.

We spent here very nice time having Ceasar salat, Fish with excellent sauce, and delicious Chicken grilled on French style-for someone it's not enough but we really enjoyed it. For the sweet end we chose Creme Brulee, which was good decision :)The atmosphere of the restaurant is very friendly and open.

My wife and I enjoyed a very pleasant dinner here on our first night in Versailles. I had the duck confit which was excellent with roasted potatoes for a main and the price for the meal was reasonable. Service was excellent and the restaurant is directly opposite the Rive Gauche railway station which has a direct and frequent service to Paris on the RER line C.
