Le Bistrot du 11 — Restaurant in Versailles

I went during lunch and I was greatly surprised by their menu of 5 sequences. Every dish was perfect and the quality and mix of flavors is something I never experienced before. Their cod, salsify (first time I tried it) and curry might be one of the best dishes I’ve had in my life (and I have been at Michelin restos in other cities, so I know what I am talking about). I also loved the camembert dessert. From the welcoming to the end, the service was excellent and promptly. The wine pairing was perfect and I tried a particular wine from the region. I was fascinated for the attention to detail, but overall, for the quality of food. Although it is among the “Bib Gourmand” Michelin guide, definitely it has the quality to become a Michelin star. The lunch menu is affordable considering the 5 dishes (60 euros) + petite bouche and definitely would come back...

It was difficult to get a reservation to this place but it was definitely worth the wait! Located in a busy pedestrian street, it doesn't look like much from the facade but once you step inside, it's simple yet chic, not pretentious. The staff speak English so that helps. The presentation was impeccable and the food was delicious. Especially the dessert... to die for!! We had the 3 course (starter, main, dessert). It doesn't sound like much but it is enough and filling. We had the white asparagus and the salmon for starters. The cod and pollack for main. And the rhubarb and Paris-Brest for dessert. The sauces in the mains were light and yet full of flavour. Truly delicious and for sure worth the money. Will definitely come back in 2 months when they...

The food is worthy of its Michelin star. Complex cooking in the kitchen before coming to the table transforms into simple, heart warming dishes. Nothing pretentious and yet full of flavours and textures. Had opted for a 5 course tasting menu with wine pairing. Each and every dish was a show stopper. In particular was the cod with saffron emulsion (no photograph available) was a novel and bold dish with the subtle flavours combined together that played out very well on the palette. So was the chicken with mushrooms dish (picture attached), details of which I forget, but the taste of which still lingers on. And not only the food, even the wines were excellent. Worth the trip from Paris. And if you are in Versailles, then...
