AVOIDTHISPLACEATALLCOST! A baguette at a local patisserie would be worth so much more than eating at this place. I would give it 0 stars. Hands down. If it wasn’t for the location, AKA a tourist trap, this place would NOT survive. Let’s start chronologically shall we? 1. Was not greeted upon arriving. 2. Was seated to a table that was not cleaned. 3. Flagged a waiter down; waiter responded«I’m coming» Minutes later, the same waiter decided to take orders from the two similar-size tables near us who were seated after. 4. Had to flag down another waiter to take our order. 5. Food? Orange juice was NOT«freshly squeezed,» it tasted like their Tropicano they sell at local grocery markets. They charged me € 4,50!!! Don’t even get me started with their bs false advertisement of their apple juice being«100% pure local made.» Their Le Galette Texane was bland and dull. You’re better off getting a crêpe from a crêpe stand off the streets. I was not able to eat the whole thing, I only ate the inside because their«buckwheat» exterior tasted like cardboard box and was a waste of space in my stomach. 6. No one offered to take our plates when we finished. 7. Kindly requested our waiter for the bill to pay. 8. While waiting for the bill, we heard their boss go in the back and started yelling at the staff in the back — with the back door open. One waitress tried to calm him down, but wow, talk about professionalism. 9. We had to flag down the hostess to give us our bill. The hostess was nice to us, I could tell she tried to make this experience a little better. This 1 star would probably be for the hostess service at the end. 10. Oh! Did I mention that the dirty table we were first seated at was still NOT clean when we left the restaurant?

Total tourist trap. Don’t bother coming here. Located right next to a tourism office and I didn’t see a single French-speaking table at the restaurant. My wife and I were hungry on our way to the train station(Versailles Rive Gauche), so originally we were going to go past Creperie Le Dolmen to try something else. The place we were going to try was closed, so we trekked back and were planning to just go hungry before seeing that Creperie Le Dolmen had pretty good reviews. Upon walking in, we were seated at a table that had not yet been cleaned. Half-empty cups, used napkins, and dirty cutlery formed our first impression of the restaurant. We moved ourselves to a new, clean(ish) table. Even the new one had used placemats, but whatever. Then, the wait. I understand that in France, the culture is to eat and to be served slower than in the States. I get that, of course. But when the server takes orders for other tables who were seated before us when I have been telling him we’re ready to order, that’s not cool. At this point, the first table we were sitting at? Still not cleaned. Then, the drink. I ordered an apple juice(which the menu touts as being 100% pure, local made). Interestingly, it tasted JUST like storebought apple juice I’ve had in the USA. A strikingly similar taste to Tree Top Apple Juice, in fact. This was driven home by the fact that my wife’s «Freshly squeezed orange juice» also tasted like it came out of a carton(of really cheap orange juice). Other table still not clean. Then the food. I asked for a savory crêpe, La Galette Saucisse, which has andouillette sausages, mushroom, potatoes, mustard, and some other things I’m probably forgetting. It sounded awesome on paper, which is interesting because it actually tasted like paper. Very bland, lacking flavor, and poorly prepared(the slices of sausage in the crêpe were so overcooked that they were rock-hard). By the way — that other table? STILLNOTCLEAN. Then the bill. The lady who had been working behind the bar most of the time came out to help us, and she was beyond polite(maybe she sensed my wife and I were unhappy with the meal), very friendly and very helpful. We had some trouble with the credit card but got it to work. Only when we were about to leave did an older gentleman(whom I presume is the owner) go on a yelling tirade in the kitchen and finally summon someone to clean the tables. Really bad experience, aside from the nice girl who helped us pay — but even that wasn’t enough to save it from a one-star review. But hey, if you’re at Creperie Le Dolmen already, you’re near the train station. Go to Paris and go to Creperie Framboise near Champs-Élysées. Much more worth your money.

Eh. Thats all I was really left with. Eh. I got a savory crêpe instead of a sweet crêpe. Maybe thats where I went wrong, but both dishes were riddled with store bought, low quality ingredients. The mozzarella & tomato salad was drowned in oil and the mozz was akin to a sliced block of polly-o mozzarella, not a nice fresh buffalo mozz you would expect. Gross. The crêpe was a cheese, chicken, and mushroom concoction created with super-oily cheese, canned mushrooms, and frozen precooked diced chicken. You could tell the chicken is just bagged frozen pre cooked chicken because it had that TV dinner like texture. We all know it. I mean, how hard is it to buy fresh chicken breast, grill it up, slice it and put it on the crêpe? If all you are doing is microwaving chicken, well I didn’t need to go out for that. Very disappointed for my first real french creperie experience.

After a long day walking through Versailles, I was craving some crepes and the only creperie in the direction of the RER C station was Le Dolmen. It was also one of the few listing closing times so I knew it would still be open. On arrival, I didn’t realize that Le Dolmen would be across from the RER C station which makes it an even better location for any tourists returning from Versailles. The waitress spoke very good English and seated us in a very clean and well-decorated restaurant. They even had English menus. In addition, their selection of crepes allowed for many different combinations of meats and other ingredients like mushrooms, cheese, olives, etc. which is fantastic for a group of picky eaters. I felt that the price for the crepes were a bit expensive when I first ordered, but upon the arrival of my massive savory crêpe, it was well worth the money. Expect to spend roughly € 8 to € 12 on a savory crêpe and € 3 to € 5 on a sweet crêpe depending on how fancy you make your crepes. Obviously, more ingredients command a higher price. I was also very impressed with the service in both how friendly and accommodating the waitress was as well as how attentive they were to our needs. I was also constantly surprised by how fast the food came. tl;dr: If you’re looking for crepes after Versailles, come here.

After a tour of Versailles, my friends and I were famished. We wandered the area looking for a place that might give us a satisfying meal and not break the bank. And we were more than please with what we found here! They had a great lunch special– choose your crêpe with a salad and wine or dessert, with varying prices. The waitress spoke English, making our transaction very easy. The food was all excellent, especially the savory crepes! I think only one or two people in our group had sweet crepes for dessert and they were very happy with their choices. The wait was not too long and the service was friendly and consistent. If I’m ever visiting Versaille again, I’ll certainly look for this creperie!

Voici une bonne adresse pour manger correctement à 2 pas du château de Versailles. Les prix proposés né sont pas trop excessifs compte-tenu de la localisation et les crêpes sont réussies.
