Pierre Victoire Reviews

Really good restaurant, excellent value for high quality food and drink

Amazing pre-theatre menu. Quality food, staff and wine! Definitely a place to drop by when you are in Oxford, either for dinner or lunch.

Always tasty food at reasonable prices. Makes me return time and time again

Very cosy French restaurant in the heart of Oxford. I went there with a lady friend, and we both loved the food and the ambience. It has a "mom and pop" sort of family-business feel. Highly recommended.

The food was both delicious and beautifully presented, the service was warm, kind, and impressively quick, despite the restaurant being shockingly busy during lunch. Would certainly recommend.

A bistrot serving good food at reasonable prices with friendly service. The variety of the menu is decent. I recommend the terrine, the duck and the chocolate and bitter orange tart.

Amazing Sunday meal! Everyone in our group of eight had food they raved about.

Lovely food and staff, authentic rickety feeling too, busy on evenings please book ahead

Had a ladies evening, visited for the first time Pierre Victoire, I have to say it is a lovely restaurant, I just felt is a little too squished regarding of how many tables they are next to each other and the toilet facilities are right at the bottom through the kitchen area.
The service was a bit poor I could say it was too busy for the waiters and they got confused with all the food order coming out first, after we got our drinks.
The food on the other hand was absolutely great, I ordered medium-rare steak and it was just perfect the sos was amazing, I would've prefer a bit more sauce as when you got at the half of the meal, the sauce was already finished.
Overall experience was good and I will definitely visit again for the food.

Excellent authentic french menu. A range of excellent, good value menus. Slick and friendly service. A great little find in Oxford. There was a queue out the door waiting for the restaurant to open.

Lovely French restaurant where the staff are actually willing to talk to you in French. Great food, good location.

Very delicious, I thought it was affordable for that. However, it was disappointing that the clerk was too small, waited for a long time at the time of ordering, and I felt that I was not feeling much concern.

Great food and service, lovely atmosphere, little shame that the steak wasn't cooked how i wanted.

Amazing food, wonderful atmosphere and incredibly passionate and helpful staff. Excellent provisions for gluten free diners too. Cannot say enough good things about the restaurant

We went for lunch and they said they are not open until after 5-6pm despite seeing staff there. But their website and info online said they are open. Very disappointing

Food always top notch, independently run nice atmosphere.

Pretty duck leg! Must do reservation. One of the best restaurants in Oxford

Excellent food and excellent service! I tried the restaurant in London and loved it and the one on Oxford just as good if not better. The prices are so affordable for what you get, I definitely recommend and I'll go back again and again!

Favorite restaurant in oxford . French food like at home

Cute little restaurant tucked away on Little Clarendon. The food was very nice. Waiting staff were a little rushed, and our table of two was used for training new staff throughout the meal (without being asked first)

I love this restaurant and keep coming for more. Amazing food in an incredible atmosphere and super helpful staff

consistently good food. reasonably priced 2 or 3 course lunch menu. Good French cuisine. friendly and accommodating staff. best to book of possible.

Good food, very busy - if going at anything like peak times (we were squeezed in at 1800 on a Tuesday night!) You will definitely need to book! Service great too.

This is a wonderful French restaurant that really captures the Bistro feel very well. The food is great - nothing too fussy, everything done just right. The service is friendly and efficient, with makes for a great ambience. Definitely one of my favourite restaurants in Oxford, especially nice on for a lazy sunday lunch. I would recommend booking as I have found it tends to be very busy most evenings (and lunch on weekends) and difficult to get a walk in table.

Outstanding menu which is all tasty and reasonably priced, house wines are good for the price

Good service, good prices, but very draughty when the door is opened.

I think this place is overrated. The food is not even close to be great. People think that big portions = good food. No this place if far from that. I tried once, I was not even close to be impressed, I got a very stale dessert that sums up my feeling towards the place and left. Would not try again. Not terrible but not great either.

Great atmosphere, the best company and a lovely steak. Proper French feel which is always nice.

ordered a deep fried mixed seafood starter, which is fine. However, due to my curiosity, I ordered a main dish which has rabbit leg. it turned out to be a disaster, the rabbit is not tender but very hard and dry, and the worst part is the baked bean with some random vegetables. I don t deny baked bean normally, I love English breakfast which also has baked bean in it. However, I hardly take any beans in this dish. I am a tour guide, I ve been to many restaurants. normally I quite compatible with food from different country, Honestly, It s very rare that I am not able to finish the dish, but it happened today. I did make a complain to the waitress but apart from the offer of another free dish which I denied, I didn t get any further response from the restaurant. For the restaurant with this high ratting, It s a big disappointment.

Very slow service and acceptable meals only, not impressed at all.

One of Oxford s best restaurants, and excellent value too. The atmosphere and food are divine.

Great spot! Lovely service and the food was splendid.

A very romantic restaurant. From the very entrance we can feel the cozy atmosphere, the service is very nice and the card perfectly matched. The food was delivered very quickly, even though the place was full. The best idea is served sets, cheap, perfect portions, and the taste is perfect and definitely is a culinary journey to France.

A very cozy restaurant. Food at the top level, and is absolutely stunning. A great idea with sets. We will definitely go back there, it's worth it!

I am a regular at Pierre....and have held back on writing a review until now. On a consistent level I find the food nicely presented and very good and reasonably priced... In terms of atmosphere, in the evening it can be very noisy, however I don't hold that against them...I mention it for the purpose of information only. In my experience I have found the service in the evening's, consistantly terse, indifferent and sullen.
I suspect that because it is always busy they possibly feel they don't have to try too hard. I do think it is a shame, because as mentioned before...the food is very good. So for me...a 5 out of 5 for the food...a 2 out of 5 for the poor service.

Excellent restaurant to recommend if you go to Oxford!

Found this quaint little place by chance and quite honestly couldn't believe how perfect it was. 2 adults and 2 kids under 4 and they couldn't have been more accommodating. The service was non intrusive which allowed us to spend the quality time together that we wanted but also it was attentive enough that all our needs were met. The food was great and the kids even tried some different things. The menu on the whole was well versed without being over whelming and im sure anyone could find something to satisfy their pallet. Hopefully will be going back next week.

Top restaurant in Oxford
We were in Oxford two nights and we usually go to the two top restaurants for dinners.
However, this time we started and finished our trip by going to Pierre Victoire twice!
Tina was an excellent server who knew exactly what to recommend as far as food and wine. Don't miss it when in Oxford.

Very good restaurant. Typical French and Belgian food and fair price

An amazing place. The set menu is beautiful. The wine is affordable. Great service. A must visit! Perfect romantic dinner.

Oh my God !!! I have never eaten such Fabulous food!! drunk perfect wine to compliment the food and top class service !!!!!

Been here a few times now and they always manage to squeeze us in and I always have a great meal. Simple french food done well in relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff.

Fantastic restaurant. Food couldn't be any better and staff and owner very very friendly. Prices good also.

Highly recommended

Great French cuisine. Really worth going from London to Oxford.

Absolutely excellent food, really quick as well, which was useful as we were going to the theatre. They do a special theatre menu too!! Charismatic and attentive staff made it very pleasant. Very competitive pricing - Highly recommend.

TRULY AMAZING, from the welcome at the door to our farewell smile, with amazing food and a perfect atmosphere throughout.

We will return soon!

Brilliant French bistro style restaurant. Good service, good food, good price!

Excellent food and very reasonable prices. A treasure in Oxford!

Great food great staff recommend you book as very busy

Fantastic meal last night!
Food was amazing ...so tasty and reasonabley priced!
Very busy and great atmosphere.
Waiting staff very attentive and friendly.
Would throughly recommend this restaurant.
We were on a girls weekend and staying at The Randolph which was walking distance!
All in all Perfect!

We all loved it. Excellent food and service with normal prices. The best restaurant we visited in Oxford.

Nice little authentic French food restaurant. Great atmosphere and service. I d only wish they did more vegetarian dishes.

Excellent and reasonably priced food, slow service.

Lively, vibrant atmosphere. Delicious food,you must try the Bouillabaisse !! Prompt,friendly service. A really lovely visit

I have been living in Oxford for 10 years, been in all restaurants in a 10 mile radius and this is definitely the best. Great and effective service even when full, amazing food, great wine menu (I had the champagne). Five star!

Excellent French bistro. Great food and atmosphere..

Always make a trip for the excellent cuisine when I'm in Oxford, one of the independents who stick to a class of their own and still charge reasonable prices. Nice place to take a date. Very busy even on a Monday night. Make sure you book in advance, it will ALWAYS be full!!!

Absolutely delicious food. And great atmosphere. Definitely recommended. From their lovely staff to the hospitality. You definitely have the right idea when it comes to wishing people a lovely night out.

One of my three favourite restaurants in Oxford. A little slice of France to savour and enjoy.

Tasty cuisine in a lovely ambience. Good value and friendly service.

This is a great restaurant for food, atmosphere and staff! Menu was diverse and everything we ordered was absolutely awesome, couldn't recommend more highly

Perfect meal with family and friends celebrating our special occasion.

We went during lunchtime and it was definitely not what we expected. The food is good but the service was atrocious! Such a pity!

The place is nice even if it is quite loud. Unfortunately, the service was tremendously bad. We only saw our waiter while bringing the food and it seemed as if he was not interested (on top of being rude).

Among different little situations and details is the fact that our waiter did not even want to bring us dessert because, according to him, there was not enough time until we needed to vacay the table . However, there was plenty of it and we even had to call the manager.
Sadly never again!

Always absolutely brilliant. Don't miss out on this marvel

One of my favourite restaurants in Oxford. We went again on Saturday. The food and service is always consistently brilliant.

I nearly always have the chicken liver parfait - it is so creamy and delicious. My husband has the moules as a regular favourite choice. And we always order extra french bread - it is just too fresh to be able to resist.

I had the fillet steak for my main with the leek fondue. The steak is always faultless in how it is cooked. My husband had the cassoulet which was generous and filling.

The wine menu has a great selection and is reasonably priced.

Keep up the good work PV - you have a wonderful team who make the visit welcoming, friendly and delicious every time.

Five stars for the food, three stars for the service - shouldn t have to wait 20 min for the dessert to arrive

Magnificent french food!! Can t say enough good things about the overall experience, food, service and ambience

Very friendly and nice place. Food good but not astounding. Don't sit next to the door if it's cold. The door is very elegant but it opens very wide and let's in a howl of icy air.

A busy place. Wonderful food. Staff so helpful and rushing around. Definitely I will go back there.
