Gordon Ramsay au Trianon

One of the best Gordon Ramsey restaurants I've been to!

Being from Vegas, there are several Gordon Ramsey restaurants here. I honestly didn't expect this would be one of his best restaurants tucked in the Waldorf Astoria in Versailles.

Since we were staying in the Waldorf, I made the reservation for dinner online a month prior. It was one of the best meals I've had in France! So glad we stayed at Waldorf. The brunch in the hotel was also by Gordon Ramsey. It was excellent as well.

Ambiance: it was quiet and very boutique feeling where it had limited tables. Decor was alright, not very eye catching.

Service: it was attentive, the typical high end restaurant feel.

Food: I did the prestige menu. Scallops was prepared very nicely with caviar, fennel and pepper relish. I also enjoyed the cheese selection very much.

If you come to Versailles, I definitely recommend you to make a reservation for this place. Even better, stay in Waldorf to have the brunch too!

I made online reservations for this restaurant for our first day when we were staying in the Waldorf. My reservation was for 8:00 PM and there were other dinners in here as well.

Our server was quite nice and our water was filled all the time. I had a whiskey on the rocks because for me I'm not able to drink any wines.

The inside seating and table are modern with a white cloth on top of the table. The plate setting was pretty and the food looked like little art pieces.

Each item tasted nice and was rich in flavor. The butter on the bread that they give you is so rich and creamy! I think I could have eaten the butter by itself, that is how good it tasted.

A wonderful dinner to start the same day as our check-in! Didn't feel rushed while dining here and it was just pleasant.

Made an online dinner reservation.
We were a bit early so friendly staff offered us a drink menu and water as we waited.
Once it was time we were shown to our table.

There were many servers watching everyone carefully.
Each dish would come out one by one.
The whole meal took 3 hrs, which I didn't expect it to be that long.

The food was good, some flavors surprised my palate.
First came the finger food, 3 mini appetizers.
The fresh bread with the butters were delicious.

I enjoyed the sturgeon that was presented in 3 different ways.
They did warn us about buckshot in the duck.
My first bite I had buckshot, I didn't know what buckshot was but good thing I didn't bite hard (heard that people can crack their tooth from it).

Once the dessert came out I asked if that was it since I was extremely sleepy from a long day
the server said no there's more dessert we have to keep you just a bit longer.
I loved the lime sorbet dessert so good and refreshing!

Food was good and staff was very attentive.
I just wish that it didn't have to take 3 hrs.
Overall a good experience for my first Gordon Ramsay restaurant.

Food, service, ambiance all great. Will certainly return and highly recommend. Food was excellent.

Wow wow wow. I really don't even know where to start. Absolutely the best dining experience I've ever had. As soon as I heard that we would be visiting Versailles during our trip to Paris, I knew that we had to try one of the Gordon Ramsay restaurants and this one happened to be open the night we were there. It was very convenient since we were staying at the Trianon Palace, which is gorgeous by the way.

We started with the Rabbit appetizer which included rabbit 3 different ways. Absolutely the best Rabbit dish ever. For my entree I got the beef tenderloin and my boyfriend got the duck. Just incredible, and I'm not sure what my dessert was called, I just asked them to bring me the most popular one, and I could see why it was the most popular one. It was the best dessert that I tried the entire trip.

Besides the food, the service was on point and the cocktails were phenomenal at a reasonable price. I am so glad that I was able to experience Gordon Ramsay au Trianon and I would recommend it to anyone vising Versailles looking for a great fine dining experience.

Chose to do the tasting menu as this was going to be one of our last meals in Europe I found the overall experience to be very good. There were 3 amuse bouche offerings followed by the tasting mains, a cheese course and 2 desserts. Needless to say I was stuffed!! I think price-wise the food is inline with the overall tasting menu: my pro-tip would be to order wine by the glass or do the wine pairing. I ended up ordering a bottle of wine recommended by the sommelier which was good; but quite expensive and I am guessing that a pairing would have done some of the dishes more justice. It would have also actually brought the cost down by a few hundred euro. Oh and the Mille Feuille is hands down THE best I've ever had. I've had dreams about it since I returned home and will go back to Versailles just for it next time I am overseas. It was a 10/10.

We came here for our honeymoon dinner. The service is something I had never experienced before- just outstanding! We had the7 course meal with the wine pairing as well. Very French cuisine. Top of the line presentation. Nothing was out of place and everything was exactly on point.
If you come for the 7 course meal with the wine pairing expect to spend over €600-700 min just FYI. Of course they have individual entrees as well so not sure of the price point that way.
Also be sure to dress up. A tux is not needed but if you came in anything less than a nice dress or a good button down and slacks you would most certainly feel out of place.

3-Michelin stars, 2-Michelin stars, what's the difference? Maybe I am not a refined human being, but if I had any power in the Michelin world, I would award this restaurant 3 stars according to my experience.

I... don't even know how to start this review. The service was astounding. When I sat down, I was immediately asked if I had any allergies with an offer to accommodate whatever my issues were (I just so happen to be allergic to eggs and avocados so this was greatly appreciated). And my husband was not told that a sports jacket was mandatory. So he got to enjoy his meal without getting too toasty in his short-sleeve polo shirt.

We had four different types of butter shaped in front of our eyes. We were served seaweed, spicy, buckwheat, and plain salted butter with an unlimited supply of fresh French bread (which is the best bread, no bias over here). I was so entranced with their expertise in using two wooden paddles to shape the butter into cubes, diamonds, cylinders, and cones. It was true artistry (also - I LOVE bread and butter like none other, so maybe this is why I am so obsessed with this experience).

We enjoyed the 10-course degustation because we are foodies and obsessed with Gordon Ramsay. Compared to other Michelin-starred restaurants, I did not consider the 120 euro price for this experience to be terrible. In fact, I found this to be a great value.

Too amateur to fully describe the dishes, I will say that the degustation was a sampling of courses on the à la carte menu. When we dined, this included an eggy soup (for me they substituted cauliflower and it was so divine!), duck foie gras, sea bass, shrimp-stuffed pesto ravioli, beef, a pre-dessert including a cheese and roasted apples, a dessert choice including an unforgettable minty sorbet, a smoky crunchy dessert, and another chocolate dessert. They also gave us a special plate to congratulate us on our honeymoon. I found the portion sizes to be heftier than a usual degustation, which, as a fat-ass, I also appreciated.

Oh, and the last point I'll make is, for some reason, these fancy restaurants have a habit of giving the ladies the menu without prices. I was a fool and first assumed that this meant that everyone gets a menu without prices because if you're there "you're not thinking about that!" But no - they give the man the menu with the prices AND the check every time! If you're a lady, you'll get a "gift" at the end. It's a little bit annoyingly sexist, but if that's the mentality with which 99% of the diners operate, then I can't blame them for catering to their usual non-riff raft population unlike me and my husband.

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. I would fly another 10 hours to Charles de Gaulle airport and take the RER train direct to Versailles just to eat there again. I do not feel this way about every Michelin-starred restaurants we ate at during our 3-week stay in France and Italy. Gordon Ramsay at Trianon Palace was definitely better than La Pergola in Rome and Imagò in Rome, but I'd say on par with Le Doyen in Paris (although probably a better value because it is much less expensive)

Absolutely stunning and wonderful dining experience -- and it was just that, an experience! This was my first time at a Michelin-starred restaurant, and I'm completely convinced that it is worth the price. ~3 hours never felt so fast or so enjoyable! However, don't come here expecting a healthy meal. If you can't or shouldn't partake in meat, salt, or butter, please save your money and go somewhere else. You simply won't get the full experience.

Venue:

A small and intimate restaurant, with every table facing large French doors showcasing the French countryside. If you come here during the summer you can watch the sky change from day, to sunset, to dusk, to night. If you stay at the hotel, the Waldorf Astoria, it's definitely convenient to not have to walk far with a stomach full of butter and wine in order to take a load off.

Staff:

Top-notch staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly and informative. They will show you all the way to the restroom, re-fold your napkin, pull and push your chair in, and cover spills. The staff doesn't come across as pretentious, and they are very warm and inviting towards people who may not be used to Michelin dining. Every item is described in detail, as well as how best to eat and enjoy them. I highly recommend the wine pairing, as it completely rounds out the meal. The sommelier, Baptiste, was incredibly charming and made the meal.

Food:

The food was incredible. It changes seasonally, but every item was devoured lovingly. This is a great place to try French cuisine and new food items. Every flavor, texture, and scent was unique. They bring out hors d'oeuvres in-between meals, which is very welcomed. The entire experience is incredibly well considered.

My experience with this restaurant alone has convinced me to seek out other Michelin-starred restaurants. If you're in Versailles and get a chance, make an appointment. I'm certain that you won't be disappointed. All of my expectations were blown out of the water.

A unique fine dining experience, at times for the better and at times for the worse. The hostess was absolutely wonderful and helpful. We opted for the five course tasting menu which lasted 3 hours.

Service is wonderful and some of the food is truly incredible. Highlights: amuse bouche, lobster raviolo, duck, sorbet. Lowlights: duck gyoza and not allowing 2 people to share the tasting menu. There's so much food that 1 tasting menu per person really ruins the experience by the end - you're so full, but you understand that it's such a waste not to keep eating. Plus, the wait staff totally judges you if you don't clean off your plate. Also, I wish there were fewer insects around, especially the one that was in my tea. By the way, if you're there with someone else, 1 pot of tea is sufficient for about 4 people, so don't order 2 because they charge you per pot. Overall, I would recommend coming here at least once. Despite all the annoyances, I did have some of the best food I have ever tasted here.
