8/10Charming restaurant on the grounds at Versailles. The food was very good, very relaxing atmosphere. The waitstaff had a lot of people to help, so service was not great, but they were very pleasant. Would definitely recommend this as part of a trip to versailles.

10/10This restaurant in the gardens at Versailles was a welcome respite on a cold, blustery day. The decor was French country and the food and service were very good.

6.5/10Did research on this place prior. Apparently, it is one of the better restaurants in Versailles. Food was decent. However, just like other reviews state, if you do not speak French you will be put in a foreign speaker section and served incredibly slow. We knew this ahead of time and made sure we planned accordingly. Suggest you do the same if you don't speak French. Food was fine. Pricing not outrageous considering it is in a tourist attraction. Ask for check as soon as your food is given or else you are going to wait 30 minutes to an hour for non French speakers.

10/10There are several options for food at the Château but the crowds at lunch time were crazy, as I was standing in line to eat at A different restaurant I hopped online and found this one and walked o er there through the gardens, the line wasn’t so big and they sat us right away. It was like a dream, so quiet and beautiful, the drinks the food the service were top notch. I will recommend this place to friends and family and if I ever go back to the château of Versailles I’d definitely go back here.

9.5/10Our server was fantastic but seems like she was the only one working and was being bullied by other staff. Food was amazing with generous portions.

10/10This is a beautiful restaurant with a great menu and a great wine list. My only suggestion is that the vegetarian options are limited and repetitive. The ingredients from the vegetarian entrées are the ingredients in the vegetarian main plates. It would be nice to have more variety as it was very tasty.

10/10Very cozy place, and the food is especial. Highly recommended. The only thing- book it in advance- the queue was long to enter.

3/10Great setting in the grounds of Versailles. Limited menu choice but was interesting. Food not up to the mark and disappointing. Waiter tried in challenging circumstances to provide service but waited over an hour from starter to main and gave up. Think carefully before using.

3/10Service simply unacceptable. We went there for lunch today and the service was unacceptable. We were with a young child and baby and waited over one hour for our order. Due to the unacceptable wait, we could not take the risk of ordering any additional dishes or coffee. The children's menu is not for children, the chicken was not properly cooked throughout and the taste of our meals was bland. They did not include our drinks in the bill but we would have quite frankly preferred to pay for a relaxed meal and not one that was ruined through a total lack of service.

About this restaurant
La Petite Venise, la trattoria dans le parc du château de Versailles ! Situés entre le bassin d’Apollon et le Grand Canal, les bâtiments de la Petite Venise, construits sous le règne de Louis XIV pour les chantiers de construction de la flottille royale, abritent aujourd’hui le restaurant La Petite Venise et son salon attenant. Tout près du bassin d’Apollon, à mi-chemin entre le Trianon et le Château de Versailles, le restaurant propose en hommage à ses origines italiennes, une cuisine aux couleurs du littoral méditerranéen subtilement menée par le jeune Chef Romain Parisot. La carte de la Petite Venise est raffinée et servie dans une salle solaire, souvenir de son histoire, ou sur la terrasse ombragée aux beaux jours. Pour cette table italienne, un éventail de recettes traditionnelles à déguster : charcuterie à la découpe, Pastas, bar mariné aux agrumes, quasi de veau scamorza, affogato glace aux trois vanilles…
