Le Voltaire sur Versailles

A lovely brasserie with friendly service. Good, fresh, classic dishes!

We stopped by this small brasserie in the St. Louis district of Versailles on a Saturday at lunchtime as a family. Having eaten there previously with colleagues during the week, I had fond memories of it. Yesterday, however, it was a completely different story... While we were warmly welcomed by the owner and the waiter, things went downhill after the main course, as we waited and waited and waited... We saw other customers waiting and then leaving after their main courses, and we eventually did the same to go home for dessert. What happened that day? I don't know, but the waiter was so overwhelmed that he even brushed off "René," a regular customer who hadn't seen his food arrive for 45 minutes. I was the first to be disappointed, having recommended this little brasserie to my family. Otherwise, the restaurant is clean, well-located in a historic area of ​​Versailles, and you can easily find paid parking spaces in the municipal parking lots. In short, I was really disappointed with this restaurant that day; perhaps I should go back another Saturday to see...

Our experience was somewhat disappointing. The service lacked courtesy and attentiveness, and the portions served were unfortunately small. We would have appreciated better service and more generous plates.

The staff were lovely and welcoming, and the food was excellent! I highly recommend it.

We probably didn't order the right thing. What we had was just OK. Lot's of locals there and everyone was enjoying their food. I'd try it again.

Food was very very good but the waiter does not seem to be so friendly with tourists. He smiles with locals but frowns and seems annoyed with tourists.

Cute place for good food, and inexpensive wine.
