A stone’s throw from the palace of Versailles, the Bistrot du 11 continues to specialise in fine bistronomic fare served in a smart, yet relaxed setting. At the helm of this popular eatery (bookings essential), chef Gaëtan Le Mauff rolls out his consummate command of first-class ingredients in a finely crafted menu. Everything is appetising from the snout in vinaigrette, olive oil, pistachio and caper sauce or veal with roast Jerusalem artichoke and a blanquette sauce to the sublime medley of oranges. Dinky terrace in fine weather.
