Five Places to Eat in Versailles
FOOD & TRAVEL
Versailles is the third most-visited place in France after the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower and has slowly grown into a great food destination. During my last visit to Versailles dining typically consisted of sandwiches and salads however, the culinary reputation of Versailles has upped its game with talented chefs such as Gordon Ramsay opening restaurants which attract even local Parisians.
A sampling of recent dishes from breakfast, lunch and dinner in Versailles left me craving for more.
