La Cour

Versailles


Framed by a royal-blue façade and painted with giant flower murals inside, this charmer is hidden in a little courtyard that fills with tables in warm weather. Everything is made fresh daily, including quiches, tarts, salads, sandwiches, pastries and OJ. Book ahead for Sunday brunch, which features smoked salmon, scrambled eggs with feta and pancakes with maple syrup.
