Very good restaurant! The food was delicious. I ate the fried pork chunks. They were so tender and flavorful. I definitely would eat and order it again. The plantains were sweet and the white rice was very good. The rest of my family didn’t leave anything, which says a lot! This place is family oriented. There were a lot of families eating which is nice to see! The waitress was very nice. Thank you for the fabulous meal.

This is a must go if you’re in the Miami area. This is not just a tourist trap. First off, there is free parking. This is a godsend in Little Havana because parking is either scarce or expensive. When you first walk in you’re greeted by vintage decor that matches 70’s Miami vibe. Everything looks updated but you will notice a mix of locals and tourists here. There was plenty of old school Cubans here eating and hanging out. The prices are incredible and I order plenty of food for only $25. I also decided to take a few pastellitos with me, they do have a great danish. I ordered the staple breakfast and service was quick and simple. The waitress recommended the watermelon juice and it was perfect to go walking in the hot sun later. I will most likely visit this place each time I come back even though there are so many good restaurants in the area.

An Italian on vacation in Miami can’t miss out on Cuban food! A charming and unique restaurant with traditional decor and the chance to enjoy live music from Cuban artists. Friendly staff and lovely hostesses, ready to serve you with the warm hospitality that perfectly matches the vibe of the place. Great spot for a meal! Portions are generous, and the cuisine truly captures the essence of Cuban flavors. The paella and empanadas are highly recommended.

We finally made time to eat here for dinner around 7:00 and it’s was so good. We have talked about going here for years when we’re in Miami from Ohio. We had about a 15 minute wait but you can always grab a drink at the outside bar while you’re waiting. Don’t forget to stop by their bakery on your way out. Everything was excellent and service was quick given F1 was in town and they were slammed. The prices were ridiculously low for the quality of food, we ordered a ton for under $60.

Very spacious and the atmosphere is beautiful. Plenty of tables. The food was delicious. The steak had no flavor. The oxtail was delicious the sauce is marinated just right. The shrimp meal was delicious in the marinated sauce it was made in. The steak and cheese was meals was also delicious.

Versailles is truly a Miami landmark, and it lives up to its reputation in so many ways. The atmosphere is vibrant and full of energy, offering a classic Cuban vibe that feels both authentic and welcoming. The service was exceptional—friendly, fast, and attentive from start to finish. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the food. While it was good and satisfying, I expected just a bit more flavor and wow factor considering the restaurant’s fame. Still, it's definitely worth visiting for the experience, and I’ll be back to try more dishes.

love this place. On the most popular Miami restaurants. It is hard to get a table if you are coming in a big group. Plan ahead. Food is simple but worth every bite. Staff is friendly. Parking right across.

This place is pretty huge and the inside is pretty nice. The waitress we had was super friendly and attentive. I ended up getting a virgin pina colada that was yummy. As for the food, I feel like the meal I got was just fine. The steak didn’t have much seasoning and the beans were kinda bland. I did like the rice and sweet plantains. I also got cheesecake to go and wasn’t thrilled by it. If I am ever in Miami again I would definitely give them another try because the menu is actually vast and there are many other things to choose from.
