This is truly the best French restaurant in Oxford. The service, food and ambience are fabulous. There was this feeling of comfort when I stepped in till I stepped out. I also had a brief but nice chat with the waitress. Overall, superb restaurant with superb everything!

Not impressed. They served my started 1 minute after l ordered my food (which meand that it's been cooked God knows for how long). And the main, the chicken cooked with the pancetta, had sooo much fat.. As l said, to be on the top 20 restaurants from Trip Advisor, either l was really unlucky, or the place is not worth the money they ask for their plates..

Favourite Restaurant in Oxford: independent, cute, delicious

Pierre Victoire just has it all. The atmosphere is cute and very autentic. Most of the staff speak French and are really happy to chat to customers in French. The food is gloriously good and the mains are huge, so it's actually very good value.
The mussels especially are to die for but I would also highly recomment the sea bass and the escargots.
They have a big seasonal menu and a really nice selection of wines for very fair prizes.

I would really recommend this for couples or small groups of friends who want to have a long, good dinner in authentic French atmosphere!

Pricey and small portions. I ll be honest and say that it was very delicious but it was not filling at all. I do love that it is a privately owned family business and that they got lovely decor and atmosphere, but our server was not very accommodating and service was quite slow. it would be a great spot for a light meal, though!

Great intimate atmosphere. I come her regularly and the service and food quality is consistently high for the most part. Should be noted that the escargot is particularly plain and not as tasty as it should be. Otherwise the food is good.

Fantastic restaurant, one of my favourite places to eat in Oxford. The food is always prepared to an excellent standard with plenty of choice. The staff are also wonderful. It is very popular so you really need to book ahead for lunch or dinner.

I had escargot and unfortunately some of them tasted like dirt. The ones that didn't were delicious though. The creme brulee was so good! The server was a little rude at first, kind of rolling her eyes at us... Maybe because our group ended up being a couple people smaller than we originally had reserved for. She also got annoyed at those of us who only ordered starters instead of mains. She was a lot nicer at the end though. Still, not a super great experience.

The food quality is absolutely amazing - the moules marinieres and steak frites are my personal favourites. Very good wine selection, and the staff are incredibly polite, caring and know how to make the customer feel welcome. The set menu is reasonably priced as well.

Great french food. They have duck & rabbit and many more delicious things. 4 stars because they could be a bit more friendly. Once I've reserved there and we showed up 7 minutes after the reserved time. I thought already we were late, but our table was not even prepared. So we've waited at the entrance and at some point we understood that we should go upstairs and that our table is ready. However, that was somehow a mistake, maybe we've understood it wrong and the table was not ready at that time. Our waitress got super pissed and I excused myself. We went downstairs again and waited another time until after a few minutes our table was ready. I've felt that the whole treatment was a bit too rude for a restaurant that tries to have by itself very high standards. Still, it is worth to go there because of the food.

Probably my favourite restaurant in Oxford, for all round service, quality and experience. 'Traditional' French service with smart knowledgable staff, pleasant decor, lighting, the works. Menu isn't massive but the food is delicious, great wine and drinks choice. Look out for offers, especially early evening / pre theatre. Quite small and can get very busy, which won't suit some, but always delivers a great experience. Well located near to pubs, cocktail bars anda short walk to the city centre.

Rated 14 by Tripadvisor we have no doubt to dispute this fact. We booked for an early evening meal and were surprised that within 5 minutes of opening the tables were already busy. A really nice greeting set the tone for a wonderful meal. The ambiance was just perfect and service was neither rushed or laboured. The menu although not large had just the right amount of choices and was very reasonably priced. A must visit restaurant if you are in Oxford.
