A look at the Miami Cuban restaurant Versailles that Donald Trump visited after Federal Arraignment

Only 15 minutes after leaving federal court, Donald Trump arrived  at Versailles, a Cuban restaurant in Miami’s Little Havana. As customers sang him ‘Happy Birthday’ (Donald Trump is 77 today), Donald offered to buy food for everyone and posed for a photograph with mixed martial arts fighter Jorge Masvidal. 

Although he seemed to be in an upbeat ‘birthday mood’ as he said: “Food for everyone!” he also reportedly said; “Some birthday. We got a government that’s out of control.”

Now, when it comes to the Versailles restaurant Donald Trump visited, it was established in 1971.

For those of you who might be interested in the specific  ‘food for everyone’ that Donald and the customers at the restaurant might have sampled, they have an extensive list of appetisers, entrees, desserts, side orders, and weekly specials you can choose from.

When it comes to appetisers, options include the ‘Versailles Combo.’ which consists of Ham and Beef Empanadas, Ham and Chicken Croquettes, Yucca Fries, served with Cilantro sauce. If you are unfamiliar with the term empanadas, they are a savoury pastry normally filled with beef, chicken and pork. Incidentally, realtor Emma Hernan of Selling Sunset fame sells vegan empanadas through her company Emma Leigh & Co.

Now back to the menu at Versailles… If you are keen on fish and seafood, entrees include ‘Whole Deep fried Red Snapper with French fries and a house salad, ‘Seafood Casserole Au Gratin’ that consists of shrimp, squids, mussels, clams and fish with a cream sauce, topped with parmesan cheese au gratin with white rice and sweet plantains, and another dish is ‘Paella Versailles’ that is made up of savoury seafood yellow rice made with shrimp, clams, mussels, squid chicken and fish, with sweet plantains.

If Donald Trump needed a ‘sugar fix’ after being in court, there are plenty of desserts to choose from, including ‘Cuban Style Flan,’ ‘Strawberry Cheesecake’ and ‘Key Lime Pie’ which is a Floridian favourite. 

According to Forbes, Versailles is “a historic Cuban restaurant that’s a well-known campaign stop for GOP Candidates. The article goes on to say that “Trump, promising ‘food for everyone’ was greeted by adoring fans, including retired Cuban-American UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal, and a rabbi and non denominational minister who prayed over the former president.”

Sky News reported that “Donald Trump lashed out at his political opponents in an angry speech at a New Jersey fundraiser just hours after he pleaded not guilty to 37 federal charades. The article goes on to say that “He (Trump) claimed his indictment was ‘another attempt to rig and steal an election’ that was ‘straight out of a fascist or communist nation.”
