Service was excellent, Vincent was an absolute star, he made one feel so welcome and was fun! On a less positive side, though home made terrine was lovely, baguette it came with was dry and stale, I wondered if it is like Italy, Italians get pane fresco and foreigners left over stale lunch bread at dinner. My steak fillet didn't look 200g, other guys who ordered fillet next table got more generous serving from the kitchen. It also was completely unseasoned, not even seared that well and medium rare was completely raw and cold on the inside except for about 5mm, maximum, sear. I couldn't finish it because of it, plus it was so cold and chewy because it was so raw. I saw French guy at larger table next to me had the same issue. Left all the raw bits on his plate. At €38 a pop, that's expensive food not to eat. I would suggest if you normally take medium rare ie very pink, with some blood and don't want to eat cold raw meat, that you order medium, or send it back as soon as you take first bite of cold meat inside, which i didnt do hoping it was just the middle, plus paranoid about people spitting on my food if I send it back. Chip, though quality potato used, were tasteless with zero seasoning used, not even modicum of salt, again, for a steak restaurant, I find that just ok. Dessert of proper vanilla ice-cream with armagnac prunes was lovely. Wine not great value for money at €14 a glass. Mine was very long open and very oxidised, i left half of it in the glass. For a relatively small dinner, total price tag €73 for one. That's Michelin 1star set menu pricing nearly! For contrast, I had excellent meal plus cocktail the following night at my usual hangout in Versailles (Vous) and it was total of only €60 and excellent, very cosy in St Louis quarter, but they sadly don't have friendly Vincent to provide same level of service, just German-like efficency. Personally, I would skip La Tour next time in favour of other Versailles eateries.

Absolutely best place I’ve been so far in Versailles and probably in my top 5 in Paris ? The food is absolutely fantastic with such flavours I could have dreamed off…We had melted cheese salad as starter with petit Chablis, then duck a canard and beef with delicious backed potatoes melting in cheese ???? I almost cried this how delicious it was! The service is just brilliant, the waiter is very friendly and welcoming with great sense of humour, so you actually feel like you are having a dinner at good friends kitchen :) The ambience is great with again some Edith Piaf playing in the background! We didn’t have space for desert, but defo will come back soon for more ???

Loved every minute of dinner here. Our waiter was helpful and fun, even the other diners were friendly. It feels like a truly local bistro. We had the mushroom carpaccio and peasant salad to start, with a steak and the duck breast as mains. The crème brûlée was the perfect end and my only regret is not ordering the gratin as it looked incredible. Go here and tip well!

We run into the restaurant on Friday night without reservation. After promising leave by 9 pm (about 1:40 min duration), we got our table. Around 8:30, locals started to pouring in. We liked the beef entries we ordered. After that, a simple strawberry desert was perfect after heavy entries.
