The Stray Bean — Restaurant in Versailles

A wonderful tiny café, nesting in one of the main streets of Versailles. The café features excellent service, a vintage home-like atmosphere, fresh homemade pastry and healthy sandwiches. The food is mostly organic, with good vegetarian options. Unfortunately, we were late for the croissants, but I'm sure they are delicious. We tried the banana bread and the orange cake, which were very tasty! I would also recommend the coffe, in our case - cappuccino, which gives balanced and mild flavour. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, they speak English and offered us an English menu card. This café is a nice stop during your visit of the palace or elswhere in the city...

I just had the best coffee I have ever had in my life here. It was uplifting and restorative- absolutely perfect. My partner is from Melbourne and when we walked in and saw that there was avocado toast and flat whites on the menu, and heard the owner speak with an Australian accent, we knew we were going to get good coffee. But the coffee and food we ordered were better than good- they were amazing. The love, care, and attention put into each bite was obvious, and the food (we had the smoked salmon toast, avocado toast, pistachio cake, a latte and an iced coffee) -was incredible. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer and try...

What is there not to love about The Stray Bean? For us it’s a little slice of home in a far away land. Coming from Sydney we have very, very high expectations when it comes to coffee. Especially a flat white! But rest assured The Stray Bean delivers in spades.

From the in-vogue distressed walls, to the soft cushions and gentle music in the background, the place is as cosy as a woollen jumper on a blustery, autumn’s day.

Thank you team for satisfying my coffee addiction and need for a virtual hug....
