Best Bistros in London

Superb food and a delightful dining room. Always a treat!

I booked a table on a Sunday evening as a pre-theatre meal. Our show was at 7pm and I booked our table with ease on OpenTable for 4.45. When we arrived we were asked if a table in the window was acceptable and were shown to our table. All the staff serving were welcoming and friendly and we were immediately asked if we would like any drinks. We ordered cloudy lemonade, which was refreshing and delicious and I asked the waitress if, in her opinion we would have time for 3 courses from the prix fixe menu as we had to return to Covent Garden for a show at 7pm. She said yes, and was so attentive, keeping an eye on us, not rushing, but making sure all our dishes were on time. The food was excellent and an amazing price for 3 courses. My two children also ate really well from the prix fixe menu, which was obviously a limited choice, but a good range. All the dishes were presented beautifully and absolutely delicious. It made for a really lovely, relaxing meal before the hustle and bustle in Covent Garden for our show. Thank you to everyone working that evening (23/02/2024). We will book again!,,

Pierre Victoire is always lovely, the staff are great and we never feel hurried. The only disappointment this time was that several items on the menu were not actually available. It can be noisy when it's busy but always quietens down after the early rush.

Eloise was our server today and she was brilliant. Really attentive, caring and polite. She even saw we had a lot of food left and suggested we take a doggie bag! The food was delicious… and I can’t wait to visit again. Nice layout and ambience too.

We had some issues with several of the dishes. In particular it seemed the kitchen, on this occasion, struggled to deliver fish dishes that were not far too overcooked - not great when you're asking for things to be rare or medium. And even if you're not asked (as was the case with one of these dishes) they should not be prepared like that. First time here and whilst not a great fan of the low tables and chairs we had an enjoyable time. Until... ca 2.45pm when all of the restaurant, literally every table, became an afternoon tea party. That drastically changes the end of a lunch experience and not for the better. We decided against having a pudding and more wine and fled the scene. Shame. Standout service delivered by Valentina.
