The food was nice. However, we were the only table occupied downstairs. We quickly realised that any one else who walked in whether they had booked or not were, as French speakers, sent upstairs. We are English speakers but do speak some French and the reason we travel to France is to immerse ourselves in the culture. We certainly did not get that experience here and on this basis, due to a complete lack of atmosphere, I would not return here.

The staff were very welcoming and our waiter Andre, he talked us through the menu with great knowledge helping us to chose as we have poor French language skills. He added a lovely experience to our evening with his professionalism and humour. The food was delicious, fresh and reasonably priced.

On Sunday evening when all the top-rated restaurants are closed or full, we stumbled upon this restaurant. The food is not fancy but very good. Steak was juicy, tartare was very well-prepared and burger was tasty. Everything came with fries which were nicely crisped and we had our choice of sauces for them. Service was relatively quick and friendly. Beer on tap was good.

If you look a tradional French Bistro, this is it but more. Young talented crew cooking and serving with passion. Picrure of Le Salamandre could be the defining image in wikipedia for such place. Amazing food. Reserve your table via the well functioning online service during high season. I visit Versailles 6-8 times a year and Le is always on my list. 13/10.

The best steak frites in Versailles, so good I’ve been twice and I’ll go again before I leave. Tried a few other places and they don’t beat La Salamandre on presentation, quality, taste and value. Very good desserts and Irish coffee too. Perfect service and dog friendly too. Give it a go!

This is such a great gem. With a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food is all prepared in house based on the day’s ingredients. The staff was very helpful and attentive. Fantastic experience.

Fantastic fresh food cooked and presented beautifully. Knowledgeable English speaking staff. Perfect surroundings. Choose the 2 or 3 course plat de Jour which is very reasonably priced or go A la Carte for something really special. We splashed out and went ALaCarte plus a couple of cocktails then a carafe of wine each (2 of us) 112€ = £100. That was the alcohol that pushed that up! Can recommend.

We were served far too quickly. We asked for glasses of champagne. 2 minutes later he took Our order and 5 minutes later the food arrived. We were in and out on 45 minutes. Not a relaxing evening. The food was okay, but must have been pre- prepared. I wouldn’t return.

Had a great evening with 3 adults and 7 kids. The waiters were very understanding, the food and wine were great, all in all a great night. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

By far our best value for our money on this vacation. Very close to Versailles. Wine and dessert selections were excellent. Very good steak dish, and we also enjoyed the chicken in pastry with zucchini. Upstairs seating area was especially beautiful.

Deserts were awesome

We requested for a carafe d’eau and a bottle of water, the carafe d’eau never arrived. I asked for a steak saignant and it came overcooked. The fries were soggy. We did not have much time to eat so we paid and left. The location is very nice and quiet and service is good. Perhaps we just went on a bad night.

Fantastic meals. Went first night of our trip then went back the next two and ended up trying pretty much everything off the menu. All faultless. Superb welcome. Highly recommend the courgette starter!

Lovely small restaurant. Service very good but not overbearing. Nice wine selection, the menu was limited but we'll done and flavoursome. Definitely worth seeking out.
