Versailles, an iconic Cuban eatery, offers a nostalgic vibe enriched with flavorful dishes like garlic chicken and the legendary Cuban sandwich, perfect for a delightful meal.
"Whenever there's any socio-political event taking place in Miami related to Cuba (especially rumors of Castro's death) people converge upon Versailles. Whether it's protesting topics on the street with signs or over a café at "La Ventanita" (The Window), Versailles is the city's soap box where people voice their political opinions. I visit "La Ventanita" regularly to people watch and listen to discussions—but most importantly—to have the best "Cortadito" in Miami. When you arrive, ask for a Cortadito in a "tasa" (ceramic cup) with "leche evaporada" (evaporated milk). Other notable menu items include Croquetas and Pastelitos de Guayaba. If your stomach fancies larger portions, walk over to the restaurant and enjoy one of the many, classic cuban dishes. In the movie "Chef", it is here that Jon Favreau gains inspiration for his Cuban Sandwich. If you're still not satisfied, be sure to visit the bakery where you can get a plethora of goods to take back to your family and friends." - Colada Collective
"It’s hard to put a label on Miami’s most iconic dish, but if there had to be one, the Cuban Sandwich might just fit the bill. A true collaboration between Cuban migrant workers and Floridians in the late 1800s and the early 20th century, this spin on the old ham and cheese is most often found simply with fresh Cuban bread, yellow mustard, roasted pork, baked ham, Swiss cheese, and sliced dill pickles." - Juliana Accioly, Olee Fowler
"Make a quick stop at Versailles’ popular ventanita for pastelitos and cafecito. Or, step inside the bakery for a look at the varieties available and pack a box of Cuban goodies, including the popular, triangle shaped guayaba y queso (guava and cheese) combo." - Stacy A. Moya
