    Very good food in an unusually styled restaurant. They are true to their name and all decoration consists of paintings with dogs (resembling public figures) smoking. Sadly their service was horrible when I was there. We had to wait 30 minutes, and ask several times, to even get the menue. Weirdly enough we had the most central table upstairs, but the waitresses kept ignoring us throughout the evening. They kept forgetting our drinks, where not resupplying the bread in our basket and even after asking we didn't get some more. And one of the waitresses kept giving our table the evil eye whenever we ordered some more or reminded her of something. I usually am a quite generous tipper, but this time was one of the very times where I did not tip at all. A real shame as this restaurant has good food and a quite unique charm...

    I love this place. I've been coming here for the past 5 years and I've never been disappointed. In fact the way I first came upon it was through Canadian colleagues that discovered it on the first day of their week long business trip and went back every night after. So in addition to myself, all the business colleagues have a favorable view of this restaurant. I definitely try and visit each time I am in the area. If were local, I would definitely be a regular. They have a very nice standard menu with plenty of prix fixe options for two and three course selections from their regular entree, main and dessert menu. They always have some very nice specials. Which can be added to the prix fixe options often with an addition slight price increase. On my most recent visit I went with two specials that included pumpkin soup and roast leg of lamb which was simply wonderful. But I've found you really can't go wrong and have enjoyed meals from the standard menu. The room downstairs is a true classic with a nice bar to serve the entire restaurant. The room upstairs can serve larger groups and has many more pictures of Smoking Dogs that hang all around the place. It is fun to try and recognize which famous figure each individual dog is depicting. Do know that you will have to climb the stairs if you need to use the bathroom. Not a problem for me and not a complete surprise in many parts of Europe. There is also seating outside when the weather is nice. If you don't speak French, you may have a problem with some of the staff but the woman that runs the place (always been there when I visited) speaks very good English. I would definitely recommend this place if you find yourself in Versailles. And there are plenty of good reasons to visit Versailles. The town is worth a full day visit from Paris and I would make this one of my stops. The parking can be tight in that area of town but there is plenty of free parking a few blocks away at the Chateau in the evening.

    Traditional french food. We were happy with all dishes, but dessert choice should be improved.

    Solid French bar with good food. Nice selection of 8 beers on tap, with cocktails and mixed drinks…read moreavailable as well. I ordered the meat skewers (one beef and one chicken) and was quite pleased. It came with a decent bit of salad and we'll prepared fries. I speak quite limited French, but the bar tender was quite friendly and worked through the language with me. He offered several samples of the beers they had on tap before I made my selection. The place had a neighborhood bar feel to it, with regulars as well as tourists sitting side by side. I highly recommend the place for a quick bite to eat or a drink after visiting Versailles.

    I'll try to write in English now, because I think it's kind…read moreof selfish to write in German about a place, hardly any German would ever discover. Except they know like us somebody living three streets away from this place. Le Moutbaron is a pub/bistro/billardhall and in the daytime it looks as if it's been closed since the 80ies. Kind of shabby, not that inviting in the daylight. But just like Robert Pattinson it looks way more inviting from dusk till dawn. We've been there twice. First because we just didnt't find any other place to get a beer on a saturday night in Versailles. It was kind of crowdet and the service needet a while. We also had a little problem communicating, since one of the waitresses (is the the plural of waitress? I hope so) spoke english just as bad as I speek french, but we tried our best and got what we ordered. (Two beer called Stella, better tham Kronbourg anyway). Actually we had a nice night there and even another Stella, whice was about 6 EUR, as far as I remember, a normal price in France. Oh right now on their webside they disclaim 4,80EUR. I don't remember it beein that cheap? Strange. Ah OK, I see it's the daytime card. At night (after 7 pm) 6EUR was right. Strange onlinecard though. The second time we went there for dinner accompained by our host living nearby and speaking better french than me. The menue was bilingual strange, because, unlike many places in Paris with only a french menue I don't think many tourist go astray to find this. I was very interested in fries on salad for about 5EUR. I wondered what this would look like. (I was serious, i did never mean to make fun of the French and their english) The boys went for burgers (about 12EUR). And fries. Big fat french fries. They're awesome. The waiter this night as far as I remeber one of the owners was speeking english quite good and considering his T-shirt was a fan of the british empier anyway. I asked for the fries on salad. Seriously. He looked a bit surprised and step by step we found out that it simply was a misspelling an meant was fries OR salad. In French it was spelled right of course, but as I said my French sucks. All of us laught about it and I got a really big bunch of fries and an even bigger salad on top. The food was OK, the boys liked their burgers, I think that the fries as well as the salad would have liked some more salt and pepper, but our host told us before that this is pretty normal in France. They generally spice very coutiously here. After all we had a fun night here. It was warm, we sat close to a window, and whenever the boys went out to have a smoke, they stood in frot of my window an I was leaning over the window bench like a kiosk lady. It's a fun place. You can definately go there. I never played billard there cause I hate billard. Ok, I didn't expect i was able to write such a long article in English. Please correct mistakes if you find them.
