Miami’s Iconic Cuban Restaurant: Versailles | Ultimate Ordering Guide

Versailles isn’t just Miami’s most authentic Cuban spot—it’s a budget-friendly gem. We checked prices against a 2020 YouTube review, and they haven’t budged in years. At $20–$30 per person, you’ll leave stuffed. We loved it so much, we went twice in three days. Here’s what to order: 🦐 Appetizers: Start Strong Ceviche Tropical (Photo 2): Their take on ceviche is textbook perfect—bright, fresh, with that zesty kick you want from cured seafood. Tostones Rellenos (Photo 1): Fried plantain cups stuffed with savory goodness—crunchy outside, flavorful inside. A must-try opener. 🥘 Main Dishes: Chef’s Specials & Classics From the Chef’s Specials: Filete de Pescado con Camerones Enchilados (Photo 3). Seafood lovers, this is your pick: tender fish fillet paired with spicy shrimp, cooked in a rich sauce that ties it all together. Another Chef’s Special standout: Pastel de Platano con Picadillo (Photo 4). A plantain pie layered with spiced ground beef, topped with melted cheese, and served with a small bowl of red beans. Sweet-savory magic. Carne Con Papas : Thursday’s special—beef stew with potatoes. The beef is fall-off-the-bone tender, simmered in a comforting broth that soaks into the potatoes. Paella Versailles: Their signature paella comes in a generous portion, packed with seafood and saffron-infused rice. Rich, hearty, and perfect for sharing. Rabo Encendido (Braised Oxtail): A Cuban classic. We’d tried it at Puerto Sagua, but Versailles offers it at a much better price—tender oxtail slow-cooked in a tomato-based sauce, ideal over rice. 🍹 Drinks: Refreshing Sips Piña Colada: Creamy coconut-pineapple goodness with barely a hint of alcohol. Non-alcoholic versions are available too—perfect for beating Miami’s heat. #Miami #USATravel
