Everything was superbe! Food is great, the price is more than fair for the quality and service is awesome! Also like the ambiance! Second time here, not our last!

I've been to Vain in Versailles a few times now and each time it's a wonderful experience. The food is so delicious and the drinks are fun and unique! I love the decor! It's colorful and playful yet moody and sophisticated! I would highly recommend this restaurant for a date night, girls night out or any celebration.

I was naively optimistic about this joint. Unfortunately, the menu was not as expected. That was ok, however the service was so slow that the menu barely mattered. No coordination among staff, dismal portions, and audacious prices.

Went for Valentines day dinner. Soup was the best part of the meal- which I enjoyed. The rest of the dinner was dry and bland. (I could pick my potatoes up like a sugar cookie- but not as tasty.)The main was supposed to be gnocchi with beef? It tasted like dry crackers with little pieces of jerk scattered across the plate.This was really disappointing and I cannot stop thinking about how bad it was. I will not be going here again.Overall it felt like a Valentine’s Day money grab.POSITIVE: Staff were great and good wine selection.

When you spend over $300+ on dinner you have certain expectations not only for the food, but the experience. The little things add up. #1 The restaurant was freezing. Not asking for much here, but I don’t want to shiver while I eat. To start, we ordered the homemade bread & butter. The butter was frozen. It would’ve been nice to be able to spread it. Right? We ordered the appetizer special which was smoked salmon. When you think of smoked salmon, I don’t think fully cooked. Fine. All good, I like hot smoked. Great. Unfortunately I didn’t notice the smoke all. It was served with cream cheese which was also frozen. It was actually tasty. Next we had the jewelry box (4 little savory pastries). They were good, but the pastry seemed a bit stale. Getting them out of the box was also challenging. Then we had 2 mains: Daube (brisket stew) and gnocchi/shrimp. Both mains were sub-par. Maybe we caught them too early on a Friday, I don’t know, but I wouldn’t go back again. I’m leaving out a bunch of other comments because there’s no point in crapping over these guys…running a restaurant tough, but we were very disappointed overall.

Loved my experience at VIV!! Hind went above and beyond with her welcoming hospitality. The vibe is so cute and Parisian. Highly recommend the Fromage! Wow! Was blown away. And their cocktails were superb—the mixologist even came over to ensure we were happy with our drinks! This is a must try!

Visited Vain in Versailles Bistro for the first time and I really enjoyed my dining experience there. The interior decor was beautiful, bright and inviting. The food was very delicious - I really enjoyed my brisket dish and the potato gnocchi. Can’t wait to try more stuff!
Went here for lunch - menu was different from dinner menu on website. I ordered a “main” which was essentially an appetizer tray. I don’t mind paying $39 for a small portion if the quality is good, but the pastry was stale and the sauces had very little flavour. Redeeming features were that the service was quite friendly and the interior is nicely decorated.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible
