Tucked away down Dean Street amongst the hustle and the hipsters is the Pierre Victoire, one of Soho’s favourite dining institutions. This little haunt has been serving up rustic French cuisine to loyal regulars for over a decade, and this is still one of London’s favourite places for date nights and cosy pre-theatre meals. Part Provencal, part Art Nouveau, the dining room at Pierre Victoire is decorated with whitewashed walls, chalkboard menus, a vintage piano, eclectic artworks, untreated wooden floorboards and wine bottles stuffed with drippy candles, and the wholesome home-style cuisine and moreish wine is all delightfully affordable. With a steak-centric menu, Pierre Victoire also serves tasty omelettes, creative salads and plenty of seafood.

Following covid and probably brexit and inflation :D the quality of food has dropped a bit. It was one of the go to French restaurants for me in London, it would sadly no longer be the case. The duck was really dry, though well cooked. chicken on starter was the same.. They also removed the mussels starter served in dimple tray is no longer there. Feels like the cook has changed :/

Staff was pleasant and professional. Menu had a nice variety of dishes in its first courses and main courses with an equally diverse selection of sides. My wife had the sea bass and I had the steak frites. The flank steak was surprisingly tender, properly prepared and the mushroom sauce light but flavorful. The lemon sauce on my wife’s fish was also quite flavorful. Also a nice variety of desserts and reasonably priced wines. It’s a small place. The crowd was young and energetic, which made the place quite loud. So a fun place, but hardly the spot for a romantic dinner. Excellent value for the money. We’ll be back…soon.

We went there for lunch with an online reservation. The food is delicious, and the waitress's services are extremely good and nice. I find this restaurant with 4 stars scoring on Google map, however, it's out of my expectation and worth giving 5 stars. Highly recommended.

Great restaurant! the food is impressively good but the service is a bit slow. The noise level is also reaaaally high, we had to scream at each other a few times. However, the food makes up for it and I would come back here anyway.

A fabulous little treasure. The service was excellent, the atmosphere out of this world and the food deliciously prepared. The beef tartare and duck were both absolutely fabulous and we can highly recommend this restaurant, if you are looking for a well priced, high quality little gem in town !! Definitely will be going back and telling all my friends about this too !!! Thank you !!

The ambience and service was good but the things I ordered were so poorly prepared - the steak tartar was overtly sweet and the grilled bread soggy from being overdrenched in butter! The pork belly was almost impossible to cut with the serrated knife because the texture was like as if I was eating a pork scratching!! It had no flavour at all. Barely any jus on the plate and served with raw cabbage!! Absolutely pathetic attempt at cooking! The wine was decent thank god. I have enjoyed dinners at pierre victoire a few times before but I'm not going back there again. It was a total waste of an occasion and money!
