Versailles Restaurant

Versailles Restaurant on Southwest 8th Street in Coral Gables is one of the most iconic Cuban restaurants in the United States, a cultural landmark that has served Miami's Cuban community and generations of curious visitors since it opened. The restaurant is not merely a place to eat — it is a living piece of Miami history, where Cuban exile culture, community politics, and exceptional Cuban cooking have coexisted for decades. The menu is a masterclass in Cuban cuisine: ropa vieja, lechon asado, black beans and rice, and the famous bread with butter that arrives without being asked. Come hungry, come curious, and come ready to understand something essential about Miami.
