About Versailles Restaurant

Since 1971, this mirrored Little Havana institution has been the unofficial town square of the Cuban exile community, presidents campaign here and abuelas hold court over ropa vieja. Order the lechón asado, a pastelito from the bakery window, and a cafecito strong enough to power the block. It's a cultural landmark you can eat at.
