One of our favorite restaurants in London hands down. The portion size and great, staff is lovely and not too pushy, and the price is reasonable. Lamb shank: nice and tender. It's huge tho so share it if you wanna try other things Seabass: enjoyed it! Decent size and well cooked. Hake: like this better than the seabass. Very saucy! Crispy Brie: gooey on the inside and great with the caramelized shallots Beef tartare: awesome portion! Only thing I don't like is too much pickle in there but still great! Bread basket: very soft baguette and the butter was delicious!! One compliant is the manager freaking out on the staffs. Impacted the nice ambiance but other than that, very very nice experience. read more

For starters, I ordered the French Onion Soup with Cheese Croutons, which was flavorful without being overly salty or heavy with cheese. My main course, the Baked Halibut fillet with leek cream, smoked bacon and peas, accompanied by grilled asparagus and chive oil, was prepared beautifully. The fish was perfectly cooked, and the asparagus was grilled just right. The restaurant was quite busy, but the service remained attentive and professional. It was nice that the manager stopped by our table to ensure we were satisfied. I would happily return. read more

Sitting on a quiet street in SoHo is Pierre Victoire. A small unassuming restaurant with a great menu, great service, and delicious food. I had a salad with tomatoes and goat cheese and the tagliatelle. Both were very good. Nice quiet restaurant on a nice quiet street. read more

This restaurant was okay. I had four in our party and two meals were good and two were poor. The good meals were well cooked though perhaps a bit over seasoned. The poor meals were overcooked and very much over seasoned. On the plus side, the prix fixe menu options were reasonable and for those on a budget in London made sense. Come if you want a quick meal for a reasonable price. Don't come if you want to be assured your meal will be stellar. read more

Came here for a quick dinner and I wasn't particularly impressed. The frites were solid but the steak was just ok; thankfully the herby butter on top was good. The banoffee pie was a miss. Overall it was worth trying but I wouldn't come back. read more

I've been here now a few times for lunch . It's a wonderful lunch menu . This most recent visit I had the French onion soup which was wonderful and the duck confit which was 10/10. Very authentic French cooking and the service is friendly and efficient . For a lunch place in this area you can't go wrong here . read more

Classic French interior with some vintage posters etc and fine jazz playing. Service was friendly and in true French fashion is not rushed. My wife and I both had the set menu for lunch. Between the two of us, I would recommend the following: Fried calamari: arguably the best I have ever had, seriously. Chargrilled steak de bavette (i.e., skirt steak). It's easy to not cook this cut correctly, but they did a nice job here. Frites: These were fantastic. Ask for the garlic maitre d' butter to go with the nice french bread they bring out to start. A fine selection of wines by the glass. read more

Very good French food. A little cramped, but the old fashioned European vibe is pleasing. I ordered the Entrecôte Steak Frites and it was wonderful. The steak was tender and the fries were ADDICTIVE. I don't know what type of illegal substance they were putting in them, but they were damn near the perfect fries. My friend also ordered the pork with polenta, and this holds the rating back a bit. The pork was dry, but the polenta was quite nice. But the service was unfortunately very slow. We were at the restaurant for a total of one hour and forty five minutes. However, I think that the food and vibe outweigh the slow service. TL;DR, If you're not in a rush and just want to have a nice, relaxing meal, this is the place to be. read more

Landed in London and first meal in the city was at Pierre Victoire on a recommendation from a friend. We went on a Monday at around 530 and were about the 2nd or 3rd table seated for a group of three. Got ourselves a nice window seat so it was great! They had a 2-course or 3-three course set menu for £14.90 or £17.90, respectively. I went with the latter. Had the butternut squash soup, the Conchiglie summer pasta, and creme brulee. I also tried the steamed mussels in white wine and couldn't decide whether I liked that broth more or the soup. Both were amazing with the sliced baguette pieces we received and probably the reasons why I'm giving this 5 stars! read more

A lovely French restaurant. We had the onion soup and steak frites. Highly recommend.

My husband and I had a really disappointing experience here last night (thanks TimeOut voucher =/). It started off well: the place was bustling when we got there at 7pm but as we had a rez, we got a table (with the piano to my back) near the entrance straightaway. We got our menus and one of the staff (four were on last night) let me substitute a glass of white wine for the prosecco (as part of the voucher). Warm French baguette bread came out shortly. And then, this is where it mostly goes downhill. I ordered the beetroot cream cheese as a starter and my husband the pork shoulder croquette. For mains, I ordered the Roast Cauliflower and hazelnut carbonara with parmesan and parsley and my husband the Chargrilled Entrecote steak with homemade frites, crispy cos and rocket salad & maitre d butter. And then we waited, and waited, and waited some more. Finally, our apps arrived and the cream cheese platter had a delightful presentation and tasted just as phenomenal. Explosive hints of butter and garlic and honey and OMGGGG so good. My husband said his croquette was middling. Then we waited again. And some more. Then the two tables that sat down AFTER us got their food. And finished their food. And we were STILL WAITING 20 minutes later for our mains. At this point, I nearly walked out. An hour and 20 minutes after we were sat and our orders had been taken and we got our food... and it was tasteless. The pasta looked amazing but was one of the worst I have ever had- completely bland. The meek, scant cauliflower and hazelnuts scatterings couldn't help it at all. Similarly, my husband said his was pretty flavourless as well. I made sure we got the oh-so-stupid gratuity all London restaurants add of 12.5% removed and we left in disgust. The only somewhat saving grace was the waitstaff were all very apologetic, explaining there were only 2 cooks on staff that night. Still, TRULY good customer service (which only happens in the US of course, so silly of me to expect) would have removed the charge for the extra glass of wine I had and/or the 6 pound supplement charge for my husband's steak. I gave my leftover pasta to a homeless person; maybe he would have enjoyed it more! read more

Wow what a find! It would never have occurred to me to try this place out if my friend (a life long Londoner) hasn't suggested it for our 'let's celebrate the end of the work week' meal. It was in turn recommended to her by her sixth form French teacher. I hear it used to be a chain but doesn't feel like it. In fact it reminded me so much of a place called 'Bistrot Victoires' in Paris that I had a hard time believing we were still in London and on Dean Street of all places! The menu here is very reasonably priced and the pre-theatre and lunch sets are out of this world value for money. Something to keep in mind next time you're running to Pizza Express before catching a show. My friend and I ordered a la carte though and neither of us regretted our choices. She ordered seabass which was beautifully cooked and I had a bavette steak (so rare to find in the UK) with frites. We shared a side of green beans. Everything was excellent and the food arrived really quickly despite the fact the place was packed to the brim. Dessert was delicious too but not quite as inspired as our mains. I had a simple affogato and my friend ordered a banoffee pie. It would have been nice to see something a little more in keeping with the rest of the menu but no complaints other than that. Mains, desserts, a carafe of wine plus some post-dinner coffee/tea came to about £65 for two of us including service. Will definitely visit again. A great experience. Very happy to that it's now on my radar! read more

Teresa C. recommended meeting here one evening. She told me about the price range and I made an assumption about what I would be getting for my money. Boy! Did I underestimate this place! It's quite an understated place. You could easily walk right by it. But look out for it if you can. It's got the intimate feel you would expect of a little french bistro. The quality of the food far outweigh the prices. We got there quite early in the evening on a week night. We had no reservation but getting a table was easy. It was starting to pick up as we were leaving. This place is extremely good value for money. read more

Pierre Victoire - Fish cakes! - French Near Me - London, XGL

I often come here with my boyfriend when we want to have a bit of a special meal. It is romantic enough and not too expensive which does us just fine. The French cuisine served here is really good and well cared for. It is best for meat eaters as the steaks are delicious and cooked to perfection. The inside is quite small, but comfortable. It is best to eat in the upstairs section since there is often a pianist playing lovely tunes in the evenings, and it feels more breezy. Booking a table for the upstairs is probably a good idea as this restaurant fills up very quickly. Last year I also experienced their Christmas meal which was just as delicious, and am hoping to go there again this season. read more

This is a very good value, French-style restaurant, which also caters pretty well for vegetarians. The restaurant itself is rather cosy with an unpretentious, lived-in feel - tables are quite close together, the wooden furniture is second-hand - but not exactly shabby chic. It's very different from the usual Soho joint, and all the better for it. There's a cosy downstairs area as well. As others have said, the set menus - which offer over half a dozen choices of starters and mains - are excellent value for the area. Even the a la carte is not bad, given the quality of the food. Friends who had steaks and the ox cheek were delighted by both quality and quantity - they cook the steaks as you wish - although serving frites in a jar in the modern style doesn't add anything in my view. I had falafel to start and mushroom pappardelle , followed by sticky toffee pudding. Service is efficient and unfussy. One tip - the lighting is very subdued and, while this lends a romantic air, in the evening take a phone with a torch facility! A real find in the area. read more

I've been to Pierre Victoire a couple of times for their cheap and cheerful early bird menu. Being in central London, just around the corner from Soho Square, it's great for dining at before you head out for the night when eating isn't particularly the main priority. If you order before 7pm from the selected choices two courses are only £9.90. Bargain! If you pay a £3 or £6 supplement you can incorporate most of the premium dishes from their affordable French menu into your deal, such as the steak that is consistently good, or the sea bass (the quality of their sea food is also another good surprise for such a reasonable price). Their cheap wine list is OK, nothing that your tastebuds will fall in love with, but it doesn't taste like paint stripper either so It will do just fine. Although you don't have one waiter assigned to your table, so you miss out on an intimate service, it does mean a quick turnaround that is convenient for lunch in an hour, and at £7.90 for two courses from the lunch time menu, it wont break the bank either. As my city friend describes it: "A credit-crunch, power lunch." There's always a buzzy atmosphere, constantly topped up with more hungry customers who are conscious of their purse strings. They do add a 12% service charge that seems a little sneaky since as their selling point is a two course meal for under a tenner, but I guess it's only fair. Just be careful that you don't miss this and end up tipping twice. read more

We recently dined in Pierre Victoire and it was a mixed experience. Going with my fussy eater mother she was tempted in by the advertised two course menu for £9.99 which included steak and frites. We should have reported the owners to trade descriptions because once inside reading the confusing, badly copied, handwritten mess that is the menu we realised that all the steaks and some of the other meat courses all had a supplementary £5 charge, which is a bit cheeky. Still, we stayed. The snotty waitress eventually came and took our order, the wine was good and reasonably priced. My lamb was tremendous and my mother enjoyed her steak and frites. She had coffee after and as a culinary treat it was okay. So why the three stars. Mainly the menu, it is a mess, but also the service was appalling. Too much attitude not enough manners. I know a good waiter should never be seen but that only applies to when serving, surely they could be more forthcoming and helpful upon arrival, especially in such a tourist trap area! read more

Cozy feeling French bistro style restaurant with good food at a very reasonable price. The suggested house red complimented the beef ribeye very well. My friends had the mussels as a starter and enjoyed them. The candle burning atop an old wine bottle adds a nice touch to the atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and seemed eager to please. A very pleasurable dining experience. Post Script. I was persuaded to have dessert. After agonizing over an amazing array of scrumptious options, I chose the Banoffee Pie. I wasn't disappointed. You won't be either. AND THEN... the pimple faced kid with the impossibly thick accent who was just serving food sits down at the piano an starts "playing around" tickling the ivory while chatting with a waitress. Smooth move kid. Impressively unexpected piano skills. BONUS POINTS! read more

Not. Too. Shabby. :) My friends and I were exhausted after a long day of work followed by networking and wanted someplace to eat. We know Yelp isn't a big thing in Europe but still, we love it! I searched a place and saw Pierre Victorie. Not only did it have four stars but also 90 reviews. That's like unheard of in London. Off we went. It was late enough that we didn't need a reservation. Funny enough, we all ordered some version of steak frites. I had heard London typically overlooks meat and I'm a solid medium, slightly medium-rare lover. I asked for it medium and it was perfect. To go with my steak frite was a nice carafe of wine. The service was solid. I just have to remind myself that outside of the US, you have to ask for the check. Which always throws me for a loop. Over all, it's a deserved four stars. read more

Service is terrible (they employ inexperienced waiters and waitresses who have no idea how to behave), but food is excellent. We had lunch there today. They cram in too many tables for the space available. When I arrived, my friend was already seated, but the only other space set was next to her i.e. on two adjacent corners of the same table. I could not reach my seat as a waitress was standing right against it, taking orders from the large adjacent table. She completely ignored me, but when she finally looked up, I suggested she move my chair to a position opposite my friend so that I could actually sit down. She did so, but left my cutlery, napkin and side plate in their original position. Throughout the meal, both the waiter and waitress shoved repeatedly against me and the table, without a word of apology. As 12 % is added to the bill automatically, they don't really have to worry about the standard of service, since they get a tip anyway. We both had the vegetarian falafel for starter, followed by goat cheese salad for my friend and tartiflette for me. First time I've experienced tartiflette outside an Alpine ski resort and it was delicious, but I'd probably give this place a miss in future. I doubt the waiting staff would notice if they knocked a customer's food into his/her lap. We made certain not to leave any more than the exact amount on the bill. On leaving, we turned to thank the staff politely but again were ignored. read more

This restaurant is a MUST visit for me whenever I'm visiting London. (10+ years) the quality of food, quality of service has never changed. Food is always delicious, great wine selection, served by fabulous friendly people. If you are near Soho, Oxford Street easy stop. Fixed menu makes it super easy too. I wish we had places like this in The US read more

Dining here makes me a little sad. There used to be a whole plethora of Pierre Victiure restaurants throughout the south east, serving good French bistro food at incredible value - around £7 for a 2 course lunch The chain went bankrupt but somehow this place still survives, keeping the original green waning. It has continued the best traditions of the chain with lunch set menus at £7.90 and dinner set menus at £9.90 The menu does look a little more international these days with dishes like Polish pierogi and Armenian lamb bosbash augmenting French classics The cooking is rustic, hearty and filling but very correct in the casual way that good French bistros pull off effortlessly Allez, Pierre Victoire! read more

Stumbled here by accident on a Sunday and I am so glad I did! Lunch entrees are a STEAL for the quality and quantity of French cuisine. £13 for 2 course, £16 for 3 course! I came in with a group of 4 and we all tried different appetizers and entrees, I honestly cannot think of a single bad thing about any plate. The waitstaff and chef were so very thoughtful. When we told them it would be our last meal before our flight back to New York, they were kind enough to seat us by the window, rush our orders and provide us with complimentary Proseccos. A+ all around! read more

Zut Alors! How have I only just discovered this place? Until recently, the only French cuisine I had ever sampled had been baguettes, croissants and pain au chocolats. I'm a regular in the Soho area and thought I had tried all the best restaurants in the area until my recent visit to Pierre Victoire. The interior was stereotypically everything I expected it to be, which I loved. The rustic decor, the wine bottle candles and french memorabilia; all of this along with the low lighting and french music added to the warm and ambient atmosphere. The bistro has great set menus if you are on a budget, but since I was here for a special occasion a little bit of indulgence was required. I started off with the escargot-style grilled mussels in garlic, parsley and Pernod butter with bread crumbs. I wasn't a big fan of mussels until recently and they were delicious. My main course was one of the best I have ever had; confit of duck with dauphinoise potatoes, garlic fine beans and green peppercorn cream. Despite parts of the duck being a bit more chewy that i'd like, overall simply exquisite. To drink, what else would you have in a French restaurant but of course wine! We started with a bottle of Ca'Lunghetta Pinot Grigio Blush and moved on to a bottle of Merlot Rosé. Everyone agreed that the food was delicious and the menus are extensive enough to suit any budget. With a very central and easily accessible location this gem of a restaurant is unfortunately no longer a hidden treasure. I staggered home after one too many glasses of wine after having a very enjoyable evening and will definitely be visiting again. read more

Went for lunch with a (french) friend and the first impression is of a really nice and cosy tiny restaurant, with wooden tables and large vintage mirrors. The set menu for lunch is really cheap as you can get a whole 2 course meal for around £8 and a 3 course for £11. The quality of the food is impeccable. I mean, I loved it, but my French friend also commended it. If a proper 2 course lunch wouldn't make me too sleepy to go back to work "fully operational" I would likely have lunch here every weekday :) read more

Effortlessly delightful, purposefully delicious. Pierre Victoire is a diamond in the rough that isn't a hidden a gem in Soho. Tucked in right next to the local Tesco and on the opposite side of Soho Square, Pierre Victoire packs quite the punch for it's value. I am personally a fan of the Honey Mustard salad with Chicken. However, their soups are hearty and fulfilling also. The portions offered will fill you up and you may even have a bit of leftovers depending on what you fancy. Whether you are joining for lunch or for dinner, Pierre Victoire is consistent, reliable and the restaurant itself is one that you know you can go to for a yummy treat day in and day out. read more

My friend who is really good at picking restaurants picked this one for our little gathering. The price sounded right. Before 7pm you can get a 2-course meal for under £10 but even if you arent able to make it on time, a main is between £10 - £14. Unfortunately the food more than reflected its price. Every dish we got tasted like it came out of a high school cafeteria. My ribeye and mashed potatoes tasted like they came out of a paper package. The rare seared tuna steak was overcooked, thinly sliced, and tasted like it was on a tangy hot sauce and a bed of hot dogs that were supposed to be chorizo. Dessert was good. The seasonal fruit crumble was well cinnamoned while a taste of the tiramisu, creme brulee and coffee pudding left me satisfied. The best part about the restaurant is that it takes reservations despite being ultra busy. The atmosphere was wonderful too, with candles lit in the bottles and a piano played by someone working for the restaurant. Maybe I'm not ordering the right food, or maybe if I come back before 7pm, i'll feel like the food taste better (when it's cheaper). But I was very disappointed last night. read more

A cute little restaurant that is for now, unfortunately, hemmed in by a large construction fence at the moment, but its' cute painting-lined walls whisk you away from the street. The somewhat disinterested but efficient service can feel very French, somewhat unlike the menu; it sports all kinds of influences, like haloumi-chorizo skewers, falafel, and hand-made burgers, alongside more French-like zuchini and ricotta crepes and steak frites. The complimentary basket of baguette was warm and crispy and our house red deep and full. I was very happy with the quality of my meal, and although I wasn't necessarily bowled away by anything stunningly executed, when you factor how little you pay for your 2 course meal, you simply cannot go wrong here. I left immediately vowing to come back soon. Be aware that on a friday we had to reserve for our little party, as the secret is out by this point... the construction fence may be the only thing holding back the hordes of savvy eaters. read more

I went for dinner with an ex-colleague, and it was a great decision. Food was solid. I ordered shredded crab on toast for starter, then the mussels for main. I particular liked my starter -- it was fresh and very flavourful. My main was also good, though I felt like my mussels weren't 100% fresh. Ambience was great -- very cozy and French. Service was prompt as well. Would definitely go back for the great food at very reasonable prices! read more

A great little find - I'd definitely recommend this place! A solid all round choice, and the atmosphere and food combo makes it quite a good date destination if you're looking for a cute French restaurant. Particularly if you'd find the old dude playing the piano entertaining The food was good, particularly the 'escargot-style' mussels and the chocolate mousse dessert, and was very reasonably priced for a good restaurant in Soho.
