    warm goat cheese salad on toast
    Elaine T.

    3.5 stars. We saw that this place had good reviews on google and wasn't too far from where we were so we decided to come here (no reservation needed). We waited in line for about a half hour before being seated. The inside is a bit cramped and loud and you will be seated closely next to others around you. We ordered the warm goat cheese salad on toast and the homemade terrine as starters. Both were delicious, especially the goat cheese, which was rich and flavorful. We also ordered the duck confit and the grilled rib steak. The grilled rib steak was not the best steak and was the worst item we tried here. The duck confit was a bit dry but was good. We also ordered a crème brûlée for dessert and it was quite large and came out a bit cold. The food was served in pretty large portions, which had us stuffed by the end. The table next to us had cockroaches crawling over it, which was unpleasant. I removed some stars because of the cockroach situation and the main course was alright. Overall, the waitstaff was friendly but busy serving many people. The bathroom was also clean enough but not as clean as some of the other restaurants we've been to in Paris.

    Don't skip this place. Easily the best lunch in Paris. This place is iconic. The food is phenomenal. I got chicken with potatoes and it rocked my world. I think about that plate often. There are so many options for every kind of eater. There is an English menu. The smoky smell is from the rosemary getting lit on fire for the steak plate. The staff is incredibly funny and attentive and fast and caring. I have only good things to say. I want to come back!

    Beef tartare

    Our last meal in Paris. This place was packed when we came here, and luckily they were able to fit two people in without a reservation. We had to sit in the back and was crowded against other tables, but it was fine since we didn't need to wait. The reason we came here, was for the duck confit.... but unfortunately they were sold out by the time we came by. We opted for the steak and fries and the beef tartare and fries inside. We also got the french onion soup as an appetizer. Service was quick. and the food was very tasty and simple. It wasn't expensive at all, which explains why this place was packed in the first place. Interestingly, they provide ketchup and mayo for each table... i wonder if that means they know a lot of americans come here. lol Will come back again when i'm back in Paris.

    Duck confit

    Bistro with a vintage vibe serving food at generous price in Paris, so it's no surprise that this gem is packed to the gills with bargain-loving office workers and locals every day. The steak-frites are good but chewy, featuring a slab of entrecôte topped with a smoking sprig of thyme. The duck was a bit dry and the beer helped to digest it. The French onion soup not worth the calories. Lack of salt and tasteless cheese barely melted broke our hearts. The wines by the glass can be rough, but the authentic buzz should make up for any flaws. Cheers!

    The food was served very quickly, within minutes of ordering. The chicken was very good, cooked well with crispy skin. I ordered Creme Brûlée for dessert, it was okay, it had just the slightest hint of cigarette flavor which was unfortunate. The staff was really friendly and the service fast and efficient and the prices very reasonable. Definitely a place to eat in Paris that is not breaking the bank or taking too much time out of your day.

    Entrecôte, salad Victoires, green beans
    BandB T.

    Came during the Olympics after visiting some museums. Good to great food, in a truly French atmosphere. The eggs mayonnaise were incredible--best mayo I've ever had. I had a salad and my husband had the entrecôte. They were satisfactory without being extraordinary. The green beans, though, were super simple and excellent. We split the profiteroles for dessert: Chou pastry, nougat ice cream, semi sweet chocolate sauce, and almond slivers. As memorable as the mayonnaise. Prices were normal for Paris. Service was good, as long as you remember that in France, waiters do not check on you every five minutes and everything takes time.

    Whenever in Paris, we come to Victoires a couple times and here's why: Wait time- Most of the time we get seated right away even though the restaurant is always busy. They are quick!! Price- Very affordable. Food- Good food! Their duck confit is very delicious and highly recommended. The skin is crunchy and the duck meat is flavorful and well seasoned. This is the dish I can eat every week and will not get tired of it. Steak tartare comes in second. It's a classic dish and they deliver. We always finish each meal with a plate of cheese and honey. This may not sound very appealing to some but it is really good. Their escargot is average, the snails are a bit small and they are lost in the butter parsley sauce. Overall this place is a solid choice.

    Duck confit is 100000%
    Diana J.

    Very nice service and excellent food. Loved the bar area setup! Duck confit is a 1000000% must get. Escargot was on the small side but very tasty. Their house Cote du Rhône was a great complement to our lunch. Steak and frites was just ok, meat was overdone and not seasoned well. Creme brûlée was just OK. The custard part was pretty cold. Would come back for the duck!

    Our 2nd dinner out in Paris on this trip... Victories bistro was better than expected... Reasonably priced... Superb service... Kewl vibe... A bit tight for space and noisy ... We had the wrong salad at first and they replaced it with no complaint or the replacement looking undersized! It looked huge for a tartar + froi-gra salad. No hurry, n' it was just so pleasant... Thus 4 stars seems reasonable.

    We enjoyed an excellent dinner at Victories. The food is quite good and the prices are very affordable. Dishes ordered included Steak frites, duck confit, roasted chicken, French onion soup, bottle of Bordeaux and desserts of crème Brule and profiteroles! This place was packed and there were a steady stream of patrons so I could tell this was a popular place. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a filling meal at an affordable price in Paris!

    Escargot

    Yet another amazing meal. This is officially our favorite place to eat in France. Service is nice and friendly, music is hopping (it's a lot of pop music, which is my favorite genre ) Along with their amazing escargot (which are small but bursting with flavor), we got a "Giant salad", the salad LANDAISE... remember this and get it. It's giant for them but just right for our American appetites haha. I initially thought they gave us the wrong order because the greens were buried under all that French duck goodness (duck foie Gras, duck sleeve, duck gizzard and cured ham). It's definitely for the carnivore that wants some veggies in their life. Highly recommended and we will definitely get this again! I tried a different mocktail this time... The APPLE MOJITO & it was refreshing but I prefer the strawberry one I got last time. The DUCK CONDIT was on point just like last time. Can't get enough of the stuff. We tried the BEEF RIB EYE STEAK WITH BURNING THYME and it was OK for me. My husband got it medium rare and it was too bloody for me. He enjoyed it though and it smelled amazing when they brought it out basically on fire. We will be back for sure so GO HERE! & Bon apetit!

    This is an absolutely wonderful restaurant in Paris. so glad that we found it. You can sit on the sidewalk and enjoy the sights of the city at this little out of the way restaurant. The food is amazing. You can also sit inside in the restaurant bar area. If the weather is agreeable I recommend sitting outside. Service was great. hope to go back to Paris so I can visit here again.

    Goodness wish we came sooner! Wasted a few good meals down the street! This place was delicious and cheaper than some of the other spots! We went because it was recommended by our host. The service is quick, the ambiance is perfect and charming. The tables are close together so prepare to make friends! We may just have to go back tomorrow!

We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM.

They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.

On the other hand, it made me realize that my mother was a terrible cook. Bistro des Augustins is a small, cozy venue offering both indoor seating and terrace seating near Pont Neuf. It serves a small number of curated dishes, including a wonderfully traditional Bistro Gratin in a homey ceramic dish served piping hot with a brown crispy cheesy top, herbs, spices and chicken. You can also get it with salmon. My brothers and I only saw my mother use our gas range to light her cigarettes, sanitize needles to remove our splinters, and make s'mores during the summer months when she couldn't muster the energy to take us 'outside camping.' I mean, all she had to do was borrow a cookbook, which I'm sure were readily available from maybe a neighbor or in any local bookstore or the public library. How hard is that? I was the only kid who brought a can of tuna and his own monogrammed can opener to school every day. Every day. And mom convinced me that the tuna holster she got me for my birthday was cool and hip. I was a naive mercury-filled fool, although I did become a very fast runner in junior high school because of the tuna holster. The interior décor of Bistro des Augustins is informal and vintage bistro style - wooden tables, traditional chalkboard menus, and soft lighting - creating a relaxed and comfy ambiance. My eyes have been opened to what's possible. Thank you Bistro des Augustins for expanding my culinary horizons. Five stars.

It was a cute little spot with plenty of seating and a small bar right up front. The problem was that it's so cramped in there. They fully pack that place pretty tight in there. While they take walk-ins, they were so busy that had we not had a reservations we likely wouldn't have gotten a table in a reasonable timeframe. I think we waited about 15-20 minutes outside until our table was ready. As for service, while they weren't exactly rude, they for sure weren't exactly friendly either. This was also a spot that didn't cater too much to tourists by having English on the menu. I don't fault them for that though, it's their country. I would recommend having a translator app at the ready though with French downloaded. As for the food it was a bit of a letdown for me. We had a number of items to share with each other. Without having reliable signal in Paris, it was hard to use the translator app so I'll do my best with the foods. We ordered a ratatouille (don't think it was a traditional one though), a shrimp dish, white sauce pasta, escargot, duck breast and the chocolate mousse. The ratatouille was OK but was just like a roughly chopped cooked vegetable dish. The shrimp dish was fine as well but nothing standoutish. Our favorite dish was my friend's white sauce pasta; it was flavorful, rich and decadent but somehow not overpowering. The escargot, as expected was not good for me, but "When in Rome" (or Paris haha). It was just a weird chewy Thing that just tasted like oil and garlic with whatever herbs they used. I especially was off put by the little grains of sand or broken shell that was a part of each bite. The duck breast was a little bland if not for the sauce and it was also a tad tough as well. I will say the chocolate mousse was super rich and sweet; I couldn't eat that whole order by myself but it's nice to share for a little end of meal treat.
