Versailles Restaurant
A Little Havana landmark opened in 1971, self-proclaimed as the world's most famous Cuban restaurant and a gathering hub for the local Cuban community.
Located on Eighth Street in Little Havana and opened in 1971, this landmark combines a restaurant, a coffee window, and a bakery, serving as a gathering hub for Miami's Cuban community. Signature items include Cuban sandwiches, ropa vieja (shredded beef), and strong Cuban espresso, while the walk-up window (ventanita) offers coffee and pastries. Main courses range from around $14 to $30, making it a budget-friendly spot open late into the night. No reservations are needed, though you may have to wait for a table during peak dining hours.
