Alternatively, if you would like to take in the sun, a huge, insulated terrace offers you views over La Place des Manèges. In terms of dining, our chef Valentin Piault and his entire team transport you from delight to delight, making this an excellent place for French cuisine in Versailles. Treat yourself to the unmissable lamb shank confit served with courgettes and cumin-flavoured carrots. You'll be amazed by the salmon tataki and gourmet strawberry and raspberry tartlet. Our menu interweaves traditional dishes with contemporary cuisine. Seasonal ingredients and organic vegetables take pride of place in every recipe, enabling you to savour the authentic flavours on offer in this French restaurant in Versailles. The bar beneath the glass roof is the focal point of L'Alcôve. Live like King Louis or Marie-Antoinette as you sip a cocktail, or try a local beer straight from the King's Brasserie.
