Versailles Restaurant Cuban Cuisine

Since 1971, Versailles has been one of the great public rooms of Cuban-American life in Miami. Its scale is striking as you enter: a large dining room, mirrors, a bakery and an exterior window where you can order Cuban coffee, a cortadito or pastries without taking a table. The menu brings together classics such as ropa vieja, vaca frita, croquetas, Cuban sandwiches and breakfast plates; the different areas work for both a quick stop and a full meal. Its cultural importance sits alongside the everyday business of serving locals and visitors.

Comments often praise the coffee, croquetas, sandwiches and breadth of the menu; they also describe queues, noise and service that varies with the time and team. The bakery offers an easy way to try pastries or a drink without ordering a main course, while the dining room is suited to a more substantial meal. Versailles publishes its menu and specials, but prices can change; check the current menu when ordering. The review listing checked showed 4.5/5 from 28,126 opinions attributed to Google.

The restaurant is at 3555 SW 8th Street, Miami, FL 33135. It opens at 8 a.m. every day except Sunday, when it opens at 9; it closes at midnight Sunday to Thursday and at 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. It is farther west along Calle Ocho than Domino Park and El Pub, so use a bus or car if you do not want to extend the walk. It is not a buffet: if you want variety at a controlled cost, compare a sandwich, daily special or bakery-window order before choosing a full meal.
