Tucked away behind Victoria Street and only minutes away from St James’s Park and Victoria station, Chez Antoinette Victoria adds to the neighbourhood’s vibrant restaurant scene. An oasis of calm locals would prefer us to keep a secret. “We wanted to create a canteen for the locals and provide the business community with a new dining-room” Jean-Baptiste JB Noel, co-owner.

Chez Antoinette Victoria draws inspiration from the beloved Parisian cafés, combined with a blend of Lyon’s famous guinguettes, reinterpreting classic dishes from tarts to tartines treating fresh seasonal ingredients with a modern sensibility.

Excellent food ! Some portions though tend to be a bit small. Is it an effect of the nouvelle cuisine ? ;) Very friendly and professional staff!

Nice contemporary French brasserie ambiance but unfortunately the food was not up to scratch. I had duck confit which was covered with an unappealing orange glaze. The roasted potatoes had been warned up too many times and were inedible.
Chez Antoinette VictoriaResponded on May 17, 2022
Dear Florence, We are really sorry that you did not enjoy the duck which is one of our most sold item. I did ask our Head Chef to review the sauce and potatoes to ensure they are up to the level of the usual standards that our guests love. Aurelia and I opened the restaurant a couple of years back and be assured we always do our best to deliver the best quality and service. Your rating makes the us very sad and be assured we will improve. Kind Regards Aurelia and Jean-Baptiste

I was excited because the prices seemed great for a French restaurant in that area. We were seated upstairs in an area with zero ambiance. The French Onion Soup was delicious. Food was okay. Service was decent, but not great. Portions were smaller than I anticipated. Just an okay dinner that I had hoped would be great. Also, they knew we were celebrating a birthday and didn’t do anything for it.
Chez Antoinette VictoriaResponded on March 30, 2022
Dear Sir, Dear Madam, Thank-you very much fro your visit. I am pleased you had a good time however I am sorry we did not exceed your expectations and more importantly acknowledge your celebrations. We have been extremely busy throughout the day and I am sad we did not do better for you. Please be assured that we will keep working on all our standards. Kind Regards Aurelia and Jean-Baptiste

Chez Antoinette is a lovely restaurant! The food was delicious, especially the French Onion soup, my guests raved about the seabream. An interesting feature of the evening was the intermittent testing of the fire alarm. It was good know that health and safety measures

Thank-you very much for your feedback. I am pleased you enjoyed your food. Apologies on the fire alarm. It turned out to be an office worker that pushed the emergency button by mistake. See you again soon Aurelia and Jean-Baptiste

Last minute booking and pleased to find they had a table. Food was good and service friendly (if not a little hesitant). Only small grumble was that the cod, whilst delicious, was quite small.
Chez Antoinette VictoriaResponded on November 2, 2021
Dear Sir, Thank-you for your visit yesterday. I am sorry we failed to deliver a better quality of service and food for your visit last night.

Our return visit to Chez Antoinette Palmer Street was a complete turnaround from our last visit. Gone was the slow service and tough beef. Everything was delicious. Our waitress was knowledgeable and professional. Big shout out to the owners for making this such a joyful place to eat. The french inion soup was a delight and the little citrus tart was sublime. Would go back in a heartbeat

Dear Antoinette, Thank-you for your visit. I am really sorry for the delay in service which caused your experience not to be up to our usual standard.

This is my second visit to Chez Antoinette; it’s a great venue with a lovely atmosphere. The food is good quality but rather lacking in quantity. On both occasions myself and my finding companions have felt that the portions are too small. I had the risotto the first time I dined there, it was delicious but too small. On my second visit I had the burger which is home made and rather lovely was smaller than a usual burger and came with a relatively stingy portion of chips that smelt somehow fishy! I do like the restaurant and may visit again as it’s in a great location to visit with work colleagues but I do feel rather put off by the small portion sizes and am unsure of the rationale behind this other than saving money!
Chez Antoinette VictoriaResponded on September 10, 2021
Dear Tinksx, Thank-you very much for choosing our restaurant twice. Being a small independant restaurant, we really appreciate regular customers as well as your feedback. Following the reopening, we still have much to improve to be back to our top level and I can assure you that my wife Aurelia and I are doing our utmost in all areas to get there as soon as possible. We will indeed review the portion size with chef as we want to be generous in our offering. Kind Regards Jean-Baptiste

After reading so many good reviews we were disappointed. The staff were unattentive, items missing from the menu and waited approximately 50 min for the food, that was after we'd attempted for ages to find a waiter who would serve us. However, I did get a personal apology from the manager who has addressed the matter with the staff. I would try again!

Dear Eddie, Many Thanks for your visit and for taking the time to write a review. I can only deeply apologies for what is clearly not a true reflection of our usual service. We work always hard to deliver a warm and nice service as per other reviews. Also under no circumstances the staff should have been rude. Please be assured we will review with the team to make sure it wont happen again. Kind Regards Jean-Baptiste
