During the day, the restaurant offers something for everyone

Breakfast, lunch, snacks and pastries

There is a warm welcome for everyone, with a special “Princes & Princesses” menu for the youngest guests, while for those in a hurry, there is a healthy, tasty sandwich with roast poultry, courgette, aubergine and basil.
The restaurant also welcomes early risers for a full breakfast that is just the thing for those aiming to be the very first to enter the palace in the morning.

In the evening, an exceptional table for unique events

A menu inspired by the Court, but with today’s flavours.

In the evening, Ducasse at the Palace of Versailles offers an exceptional dining experience. Once the visitors have all left the Palace, the restaurant opens only on request for special dinners and exclusive events that are certain to be an unforgettable moment. The setting evokes all the grandeur of times gone by in the restored lounges, with historic menus, an exclusive re-edition of the porcelain of Marie-Antoinette and waiters in all their finery.

“French cuisine with a very modern touch, yet drawing its inspiration from the dishes served at the time. It is so much more than a meal, it is a genuine experience.”
Alain Ducasse

For dinner, open on request for exclusive events.
