La Cave du 11
This chic, laid-back bar à vins is part of Michelin-starred chef Jean-Baptiste Lavergne Morazzani’s trio of gastronomic outposts set in Versailles’s beautiful Cour des Senteurs, a few minutes' walk from the palace entrance. Here you can sit back and taste wines by the glass or order a bottle chosen from the astute wine list, accompanied by locally sourced gourmet snacks like Bayonne ham, buffalo burrata from the Ile de France, or crème de Camembert from nearby Yvelines. Its early opening hours make it a good spot for a pre-dinner apéro or a quick snack before heading back to Paris.
