"I will not gatekeep. This restaurant was fantastic! A few streets over from the tourist restaurants, this French restaurant is delicious, with a calm atmosphere, delicious food, and great service. It was not crowded at all on a weekend night, and I feel like it is a hidden gem of Versailles."

"Beautiful place and even more beautiful presentation of the dishes. The service was very nice and respectful, especially compared to some other French restaurants. However, I was surprised that they didn't change the cutlery after the entree and said just keep it. The mushroom soup was great but the duck breast was chewy and too dry in some parts, and the dessert didn't taste like pistachio at all."
Ali Akbari
"Nicely decorated and very cozy restaurant. It’s slightly out of the way but makes for a nice walk. The benches against the wall are a bit uncomfortable though and don’t suit the rest of the interior. The staff was friendly and can speak some English. The menu is not very extensive, only 3 mains, 3 desserts and around 6 starters but what we tried were all delicious."

EAT (and drink): Chez Georges is everything you want in a classic French bistro.
