A Ducasse-run restaurant within the grounds of the Château de Versailles, with set breakfast, lunch and tea menus. It is the most convenient formal option for palace visitors.
Ore is a restaurant operated by Alain Ducasse's group in the Pavillon Dufour at the Château de Versailles, offering breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea in rooms with views over the palace forecourt. The menu is seasonal French cooking in a brasserie style, and visitors can book a combined package that includes palace entry.
Official packages are priced at around €57 to €67 for breakfast and about €90 to €100 for lunch, depending on the season.
