This little restaurant that is about halfway between the Versailles train station and the palace was a diamond in the rough. It was reminiscent of a local diner with a comfortable atmosphere, tasty food, good coffee and friendly service. read more

This was the second time here as we visited chateau de Versailles a few years back. They have retractable doors so one can enjoy lunch eating Alfresco in the summer. They always seem to have a selection of lunch specials to choose from in addition to a regular menu. On our last visit, my partner ordered quiche served with vegetables and I selected from the lunch special the honey-glazed pork ribs served with fingerling potatoes and greens. Both dishes are delicious and filling. We found the service here friendly and efficient, we also extended our stay a little bit to enjoy some wine. Forget about the bad reviews and stop by here for lunch or coffee or a glass of vino, you won't regret it! read more

As we waited to check in to our hotel in Versailles, we enjoyed a delicious lunch at Lyautey. I started with the fried Camembert cheese. They were crunchy on the outside and incredibly gooey on the inside. For my entree, I ordered the risotto of the day- creamy risotto with diced chorizo. And for dessert, the French toast their way! It was perfectly golden, thick, and caramelized! This little cafe is right next to our hotel, I can't wait to go back in the morning for breakfast. read more

Say what you want about this place, they welcomed us when we wanted only a coffee and a bit of rest after an exhausting hot day at Versailles. Other places were rude and unwelcoming, refusing to seat us unless we wanted a full meal at 2pm in the afternoon at 89 degrees. Good place to stop. We stopped here twice, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Coffee and service were great. read more

Horrible. I should have read the reviews before, but was recomended by a local that worked at one of the tourist companies. Arrived and noticed there was only one waiter working over 20 tables... thats a bad start. Ordered onion soup and salmon tartar (appetizer). Onion Soup was salty, the bread inside was old and stale. The Salmon Tartar was DISGUSTING. I was worries it would cause me food poison so I left the whole thing. This is one place you can skip! read more

We were in the area since we were visiting Château Versailles. We were looking for a place to grab a quick lunch before heading back. I was glad when I saw they had onion soup since it's one of my favorites. Our waiter was really nice and translated the daily specials for us. My husband had vegetable soup which was the soup of the day. We also got a carafe of their house red which was delicious. We enjoyed our soups and wine. read more

A great place for a meal when visiting Versailles. It's right across from the train station, and has both outdoor and indoor seating. The staff makes an excellent effort with their English, for those of us that don't speak French, and we're quite helpful. It was our third visit in four years; each one with a different grandchild. And although they have some authentic (but not esoteric) French cuisine, they were able to satisfy the picky palates of three American teenagers. read more

Stopped here before heading to Versailles. They were busy and not many servers. We did sit longer than normal (even in France) before a server came to the table. I did the Goat cheese on toast with honey and sesame - it was delicious and full of flavor. I did the chicken Cesar salad for my entree. The chicken was grilled just right and the salad was cold and crisp. The perfect paring in my opinion. It was perfect for the warm afternoon of our visit. The kids were able to get some pizza and they enjoyed it very much. It is a bit higher price then we had seen in the area, but the food was good and the location made it easy to get a bit to eat before heading into the Chateau. read more

Food and service were awesome!! We stopped in for a quick drink and charcuterie after touring the castle and it was just what we were looking for! Staff were very personal and friendly, and the cheese and fig jam appetizer was fantastic! Definitely recommend if in the area! read more

Never been to a restaurant that everyone's food inedible. Quiche, pizza, and ratatouille totally disgusting. Service wasn't just bad it was unsanitary. One waiter was smoking while serving our food, he even sat his cigarette on the same tray next to my food. read more

Try goat cheese on toast, super delicious! And steak from Ireland is very good too. Best part of this place is the prices are very reasonable! First we went to the side road with all the restaurants but they all are lot more expensive read more

The service was excellent. The prices were a little high but the food was incredible. The waiter who attended our table was very polite. The dessert was delicious. It was a great relief from all of our walking to see this beautiful little restaurant in our mist. Overall outstanding experience. read more

I spent the day in Paris and took the train back to Versailles. I was starved and tired of paying Paris prices so once off the train I wandered down the street a bit. I almost missed this place, from the street it is "hiding" behind the Information Station behind the bus stop. I sat down alone at a small table outside and a waiter was there in a minute or two to give me a menu and take my order for a glass of wine. I tried the Puilly Fume, it was very nice. Not too dry. The menu was translated into English too. I passed on the lovely cheese plate and decided on the smaller steak dinner, steak with salad or fries for about 15 euros. Not bad. I like my steaks medium rare and have learned that in this region (maybe all of France, I don't know) that if I want the steak medium rare I have to order it medium. So I ordered it medium and it come out seared on both sides and perfectly medium rare on the inside! They did not offer me a salad dressing choice but the house dressing fit the greens very well. It was lemony, a bit tart, salty, and paired with the steak.... Was awesome! The service was good and the waiter was patient with my English and the few French words I learned this week. I will be back tomorrow for lunch on my last day in Versailles. read more

The service was awful, and the food was somehow worse. We got the pizza and Ratatouille and it was absolutely disgusting, we at one bite and felt sick. The pizza was clearly frozen and the ratatouille stank and was vomit inducing. It was so bad that no one ate any of their food, yet the servers were so rude and would not take the meals off our bill despite the fact that everyone still had a full plate. Servers were smoking while serving food, despite the cute ambiance it is truly the most repulsive food I have ever eaten. If I could give it zero stars I would. read more

So when we came here, I didn't realize there was so many negative reviews of this business. So sitting down I contemplated really hard before we decided to go ahead and order food. Maybe it was my fear of the worse possible thing to happen with our dishes, but surprisingly the food was good. I think I had one too many beers but the roasted chicken came out fine and tasted good to me. I had a fear that maybe I would have food poisoning or something but I had none of that. We had a good experience here and the waiter took good care of us. I hope others have the same experience that we had. read more

Tres Bonne!! Le Lyautey is right by the the Versaille train station. It's perfectly positioned on a corner that provides the best ambiance outside of the Chateau Versailles. The service is excellent and food is wonderful. Jumping to desert immediately the creme brulee was hands down the best I've ever had around the world. Using pure vanilla beans the consistency of the creme brulee was so perfect in every way and the hard shell wasn't burnt but hard enough to make a crack. Back to the wine, appetizer, bread, and main plate. The wine list doesn't have anything that most would recognize but the selection is diverse. The escargo was phenomenal and again the best I've ever had in France. The la moutarde again was the best I've ever had. It's not your typical la moutarde (mustard). It was just perfect with frites and pain francais. The main plates were amazing with the salmon tartar, flank steak, and the french adnoulle sausage. Le Lyautey is a must stop when visiting Versailles, great pricing and most importantly unforgettable experience and service. read more

We had the butternut squash soup that was exquisite! Later I had the goat cheese with honey and sesame seeds that was so creamy and satisfying. I would definitely come back here next time I am in Versailles. The waiter was also the best, very humorous and great personality. They were very accommodating with both drinks that were not part of there menu. Really enjoyed this restaurant! read more

It is "touristy". As soon as you get out of the train station (RER C), it is right next to Starbucks. This place gets hit with tourists wanting to eat before spending time at the Palace of Versailles. I'm sure they get all kinds of rude tourists! I tried my best to be nice to the server. At first she did seem busy and maybe "not" wanted to help us, but she actually was good with the service. We had baguette and omelette with fries. Food taste great. Price - moderately increased, but I'm basing that on US prices compared to European prices. Nonetheless, the quality of the food was great! read more

Overpriced place that takes advantage of its location. The food sucks. The chef was more on the phone than paying attention to his job. Service is extremely slow. My steak was undercooked and cold when it arrived. read more

Stopped by here after visiting the palace. Food was mediocre and service speed was horrendous. Took wayyy too long. If I was local, I would not return read more

First, a word in English for my fellow foreign travelers: Avoid this place. The food was below par, the service terrible, and when the waiter presented us with the bill, he said that the tip was not included. This, of course, is a lie; the tip is ALWAYS included in France, although it's customary to leave a few euros behind as a thank you. Évitez cet endroit. La nourriture était en dessous de la moyenne, le service épouvantable, et lorsque le serveur nous a présenté l'addition, il a dit que le service n'était pas compris. (Nous sommes des étrangers.) read more

Nice cafe in Versailles. Only had coffee here which was good. Service is good and it has loads of outdoor seating. Not a bad choice near the palace and just a stones throw from the tourist madness but far enough away for it to feel French :-) read more

I would like to give this place a better review, but the sirloin steaks we ordered were not spiced and tasted frozen. The shrimp brought as appetizer also tasted like it was sitting in the freezer for a while. And lastly the salmon pasta had way too much grease in it. The one and only good food we had here were the French fries. read more

WARNING: This place is a tourist trap. The management here will SCAM you!!! This place deserves 0 stars!!! My friends and I were starving after the train ride to Versailles, so we ducked into the first place we saw. Actually, Starbucks is the first place we saw and I now fully regret not going there instead. I ordered the cheeseburger and fries because I was starving, in a hurry, and wanted something I thought was impossible to screw up. First, I have to mention that the entire restaurant smelled odd. Like spoiled fish. It sort of killed my appetite but I had a long day ahead of me and needed to eat... My burger came out bleeding, after I requested a medium burger. However, I hate complaining so I figured I would eat around the edges and devour my fries. When I took a bite into a fry, I realized it smelled just as the restaurant. Like soiled fish...or feet. It was bad.It was obvious they were frying fries in bad oil or old oil they used with fish as well. It made me sick to my stomach. I asked the waiter if I could have a salad instead. (I had taken one bite of the burger and eaten one fry) He brought me a salad which was OK but overpriced (15 Euro for a caprese salad). When he brought us the check we realized the burger and fries were on the bill. We asked to speak to a manager. The manager came over with the phone in hand (prepared, as he has obvious had this problem before and was prepared to react in this manner) and threatened to call the police if we did not pay the entire bill. We waited for 20 minutes and continued to ask servers for another manager. After he threatened us again, I was fed up. I asked him, "Is this how you run a business and treat your customers?" in which he replied with a snap "you're embarrassing me in front of other customers". He deserved it. I have never been treated so poorly in a restaurant in my life. Not wanting to be arrested on vacation, I paid the 32 euro for a burger I didn't eat, fries that smelled like feet, and a mediocre salad. (I regret this so badly. I should have let the police come) This place is ONLY in business because of its location. I wish we would have yelped before entering. TAKE MY ADVICE AND GO ELSEWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

This is next to the train station. Service was nice and food decent.

The place smells weird. The service is super slow, and took almost ten minutes just to get the waiter to come over and greet us. The food is lackluster, and as a previous reviewer said, the burger tasted like it had been cooked in old oil, or the meat itself was off. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. The meal was terrible and the service was worse. We sent back a plate after taking one bite then spitting it out. We were then charged for the meal. When I tried to bring it up to our waiter he acted completely taken back. Take my advice walk somewhere else. read more

Went there with a couple of friends for an afternoon drink. When we arrived, the place was almost empty and the waiter showed us to a table simply by looking at it. He was back a few second later, already impatient as we still didn't know what to drink (we barely had the time to sit), and once we decided, he told one of us who didn't one anything that everyone had to order something (which I believe is illegal). The bill was brought with the drinks, which is also uncommon in France. At that time, the waiter adjusted the tables so that they were aligned, by putting his elbow less than an inch away from my friend's face, not quite nice. They make you pay to use the restroom, even if you've ordered something. Prices are quite expensive. We only had coins to pay for our drinks, and unfortunately a few red ones (5, 2 and 1 cents). The waiter replied with heavy condescendence that he would not take these red coins, so we had to find something else or change them for better at the bar. [side note: if we can do it at the bar, he would've been better off doing it by himself, also this is another illegal practice]. The café has some typical Paris/French decorations, but there was some loud club-like music and a couple lights which would flash different colors, not at all in harmony with the rest. Very disappointed in this place, I will never go back (nor will my friends). Try the Starbucks next door, or even the McDonald's next to that instead. read more

Disgusting food and rude service. Avoid at all costs. They were rude to my wife and children. Gutless waiters.

I'll start by saying I really wanted to like this place. Then I'll tell you I'm actually writing this review on premises. I'm absolutely disgusted. My tour guide stopped by here on the way to the Château Versailles. That was this morning. They were kind enough to refill my water bottle. Uneventful visit. After touring the Château, I made the horrible mistake of returning here for lunch. The waitstaff seems to operate in a different dimension. I should have just asked the server what I wanted to drink, as I didn't receive what I ordered. Being a polite (and perhaps too shy) traveler and being a nervous non-native speaker, I did not complain when my drink came out, again, not as requested. The drink was good, not complaining there, just not as ordered. Then the food. I ordered a French onion soup, my favorite. I've ordered this dish all over Paris and never have I seen a bowl with more bread than soup. Weird, but I'm still doing my best to enjoy the experience. I finished my drink, and unfortunately, the water I ordered with my lunch never arrived. I think the bartender noticed my dismay, though I tried not to show it. He stepped out from behind the bar and came over. I then re-ordered my original drink order, and again requested water. I also told him that I was waiting on a Cesar Salad, another mistake, as I will explain. He went back to the bar and brought me a water, but nothing else (who'd have thought it'd be so difficult to get wine in France?!?!). Then, my other-worldly server arrived with my salad. Beautiful presentation, I must admit. That's perhaps the reason for the one star, lol... (I would actually give negative stars if that were an option). I began to eat the salad. No problem, until I sliced into the chicken and found an INCREDIBLY LONG HAIR in it!!!! Oh my gosh! I instantly felt ill. I placed the chicken back in the bowl and found ANOTHER HAIR in the salad. Needless to say, I was absolutely nauseous. I had to physically stand up and go to the bar in order to pay for this tragedy. 23.50€. Who cares. I just wanted to take the next train back to Paris. I decided to use the restroom before I left, considering the 50 minute train ride ahead of me. ANOTHER BIG MISTAKE! To be honest, I'd rather use a public street toilet than this. In fact, the street toilet I used last night at The Eiffel Tower was cleaner (even though I chose not to breathe while I was in there). The floor of the ladies restroom in this restaurant was covered in standing urine. Splish splash. REPULSIVE. I'm so disgusted. Way to ruin a nice day. Im heading back to my room, my intention is to reset my mood with a little nap. The biggest hope I have right now is that I don't get sick from this so called meal. That would add injury to insult. Wish me luck, and do yourself a favor and don't eat at this place! read more

Great restaurant. Usually very busy, but if you are patient you will be rewarded with great service and wonderful food. Close to the train station, and outdoor seating provides endless people watching entertainment! read more

Great location, close to Versailles, buses and train. French onion soup is homemade, priced right and delicious. Belle!

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner here! First of all, we had a very charming waitress! I had a salad that contained gizzards and fois gras. The salad was delicious and the fois gras was outstanding. My wife had the duck confit, which she had never had before. She loved it. The duck was tender and delicious and the potatoes had the perfect amount of spices added. We topped it all off with three flavors of sorbet. We were visiting Versailles for the day and it's always hard to choose where to eat if you don't know a place. We are so happy we decided to eat here! read more

Not sure about all the bad reviews but my husband and I had a great experience here. Service was good. The food we got was delicious, all of it. I got the risotto, and I have been getting risotto everywhere on our euro trip (Barcelona, Rome, Florence), this was one of the best! Creme brûlée was also very good. Prices were reasonable. read more
