The Ivy Victoria in City of London, Westminster

Hemskt ställe. Sa att vi bokat ute fast det inte gick. Dryck kom när vi ätit klart men behövde inte betala för den. Ät inte där

As always first class service by Eve. Exceptional food and atmosphere. Highly recommend

Meh. Nothing special. Was disappointed, to be honest . I wanted an omelette with cheese and ham but the only cheese they have id emmenthal which I don't like. My egg royale came cold. One friend and toast with avocado and tomatoes. It was just ok and bland. Potions were quite small

Thank you Eve!!! Everything was spectacular! De tus amigos cubanos.

A great experience at The Ivy Victoria, London. Our server was Rawdah who was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble and when our main meals came out when we still had our starters Rawdah sorted it straight away. She was excellent and coordinated it well. Will definitely return to this Ivy.

There were four of us at Chez Antoinette and we spoke German. Our waitress, Eve, was very nice and gave us a little more time because we talked far too much at first until we could finally look at the menu. From then on it was an extremely funny conversation and Eve made our stay as pleasant as possible. We had breakfast there and enjoyed the smashed avocado on toast with poached eggs & chilli flakes , to the croque monsieur and croque madame to the croissants, we were very happy with our choice. As we have been in London for a while, this was our first visit, but certainly not the last!

Great experience, superb waiters and delicious food

Eve took great care of her; very adorable! Excellent cuisine; I recommend!

I visited the Ivy at Victoria on Saturday 2nd November with my wife and two friends. So we arrived 5 minutes late, I had phoned to advise running late. So we were shown to our table, luckily there was a extra chair which came in useful for putting our coats on. Some 20 minutes later we were asked if we wanted drinks which we ordered, 2 vodca 1 diet coke a mixer for both, 1 vodca comes in a tall glass with ice & slice, the other comes in a small glass vodca no ice or slice. Then the meal had our starter which was ok, then main meal arrived while we still have starter plates in front of us. Meals put on the bar while starter plates taken away. Then we got our main meal, again the food was ok. We then ordered tea 2 coffees and an Irish coffee, milk for the tea and coffee. The Irish coffee was stone cold, tea came no milk coffee arrived with 2 jugs of cream which I didn't realise till I had poured into coffee, sent it back 3 jugs of milk arrived no cup. At this point we got a bit fed up and cancelled the drinks, removed the service charge and paid the bill. I emailed the General Manager who refunded the cost of tea. Altogether an abysmal showing no level of service whatsoever and didn't seem to grasp English.

Thank you to Jean Baptiste and his team at Chez Antoinette who took the time to reach out and make a personal (and very kind) apology for the experience that I had yesterday. I am left feeling confident that the server interaction was an anomaly and am looking forward to returning to a restaurant that prides itself on not only the quality of its food but on its warm ambience and a place to make memories. See you soon!

The ambiance and the service is always impeccable, regardless of the reason of your visit, just coffee, just wine or full fledged dining. Cosy, classy and enjoyable

An authentic little corner of...France in Westminster. Fall...don't make it too loud 🇫🇷😊👍. PS. Try the bavette, or the Madeleine. Proust would have written a second volume 😋.

Food was great, service was attentive, and we would definitely come back / recommend. The only minor negative was the drinks - limited range of beers, and some on the menu were not available. But wine choice and authentic service was great. Thank you!

Fabulous food and good value for money in London. Not pretentious at all … friendly service.

This is my local favourite. Great service from Eve, and nice atmosphere.

Visited the place twice during our stay. @Eve it was a pleasure.

We love the service and the food (Eve) She is the best

Fantastic dining experience. The brilliant food aside, the staff were courteous and incredibly attentive particularly Eve who managed the area I was seated. She took good care of us and kept an eye on our table to make sure we always had a drink or anything else we needed. Can't recommend more.

Eva was amazing! And the food was delicious! I highly recommend!

Reliable French cooking, a dependable wine list and excellent service, especially from Eve. The food here isn't outstanding but it's never disappointing and I always enjoy my visit. Make sure you leave room for pudding!

Eve was wonderful as was the food!

It's such a wonderful place! The quality is not fluctuating, I've been here several times throughout the past 2.5 years, and it's always fantastic. Great dishes, charming atmosphere, and excellent service. Eve was just beyond kind, she took such a good care of us that made our last visit & b-day celebration extra special! This is one of the few places in London I keep coming back to & highly recommend.

My most favourite business meeting setting in central London. The Ivy never disappoints me or my clients. Every visit is consistently the same over and over again.

Actually very surprised. I was staying near by so we went for dinner. Staff were pleasant but not over the top. Food was very good and the price seemed reasonable for central London. Would definitely return.

Chez Antoinette Victoria offers a quaint but exceedingly cramped experience, which is not ideal for those who prefer a bit of space. The entrance itself requires a bit of manoeuvring between the door and a large dessert fridge, which, at lunchtime, had a minimal pastry selection—disappointing for anyone stopping by just for a coffee and treat. Inside, the setup remains tight. Tables are packed close together in a narrow corridor, creating a crowded, almost claustrophobic atmosphere that might remind you of communal dining spaces like Wagamama. Although they provide complimentary water, it’s served in tiny, worn glasses that don’t add much to the experience. The coffee itself was disappointing. My espresso had a dark, overly bitter taste and came in a miniature, well-worn glass. The so-called cappuccino was more of a shaky latte with minimal foam and just a light dusting of cocoa. At £7 for these two items, the value didn’t feel remotely worth it. Service was sparse, and even though the café wasn’t particularly busy, it took 15 minutes to get the drinks. The seating, packed along a narrow corridor, is uncomfortable, and the standing bar area opposite the tables doesn’t help with the cramped feel. There’s also a private dining space up a steep staircase by the entrance, but navigating around to reach it is a bit of an obstacle course. All in all, Chez Antoinette Victoria falls short on both comfort and quality. Unless you’re undeterred by the lack of space and lacklustre coffee, there are better options nearby that are well worth considering.

It was lovely to have breakfast here, the food was really delicious even though the portions were quiet small. The restaurant itself is amazing, while staff was lovely. Eve served us, she was extremely kind and helpful. Thank you

We had the pleasure of having lunch at Antoinette's with our 2 children during our stay in London. Flawless! Warm Parisian bistro-style atmosphere, excellent cuisine and a team of attentive servers! (Special mention for Eve ☺️). More than reasonable prices for home cooking in the heart of London! We recommend and we will come back! Congratulations to the bosses for this very beautiful Frenchy address in London 👏

Special message for Eve who is perfectly polite and has a surprising culture of France. Her smile and kindness will make you have a pleasant evening, thank you very much Eve.

Thank you Ève for the service, Quality French Cuisine, Tasty onion soup. The dishes, nothing to say, arrived hot with a smiling and attentive waitress.

Great food and cozy resteraunt, very friendly staff - especially Eve!!

Great restaurant and great food. Eve made our evening!!! Will definitely eat here again.

I had a very enjoyable meal here the other night. The food was fantastic and the wine list was great and I felt like I was back in Paris. Prices were quite reasonable and I would definitely return on a future visit to London.

Some French vibes in the service approach, but all good overall. Tasty!

One of the best sandwiches of my life is what I had at this amazing warm cafe . It was all drizzling outside and the warm and cosy setting in the cafe everything perfect I could have thought to spend my dinner time.

Great food and a fantastic service from Eve.

Starter was artichoke soup. Smooth and creamy. Then I had Chicken forestiere - a marvel of soft moist flavourful chicken breast. Mushrooms in a perfect creamy wine sauce, smooth mash mountain. I know I couldn't cook something as good at home. Sister had bavette steak, medium, very good with peppercorn sauce and crisp chips. Eve, the waitress upstairs attentive and charming. Atmosphere quiet and cordial. No music,!!! Thank you, thank you! for not music so we could talk to each other and hear!!!

Lovely little place. Went with my work team who came from overseas. Food was fantastic, I had scallops starter, and the catch of the day salmon served with veg, and ordered truffle fries as extras. I also had a creme brulee dessert. It was all very well cooked, the salmon in particular was perfectly cooked which isn't always easy. Our waitress, Eve, was friendly and attentive and did everything to make our experience personal and enjoyable. Highly recommend as this is a great find in London.

Great food in a very warm and beautiful space. Eve service was fantastic and enhanced our experience a lot. We will be back!

The avocado toast with poached eggs & chili flakes was excellent & our server Eve was lovely. Reasonably priced & conveniently located — great place to start the day.

Had a great experience for breakfast at Chez Antoinette Victoria! The breakfast was very fresh and reasonably priced. Our server Eve was the best!

Eve was our server and she was super friendly and amazing. All of our food was excellent.

A beautiful place with wonderful service from Eve. Recommended 100%

This is a great place for business meetings, the food and atmosphere are perfect. Eve is also a total superstar

We really enjoyed having lunch at Chez Antoinette. Eve our wonderful waitress, gave us suggestions and was extremely nice! The food was excellent ! I saw this restaurant had 5 stars , but was doubtful….it is definitely a 5 star restaurant . I recommend it a lot.

We had a lovely evening and delicious meal last Wednesday. Lovely ambiance of a traditional French Brasserie and staff were delightful. We sat upstairs and our waitress, Eve, gave us some great recommendations and looked after us perfectly. The dish of the day was salmon in white wine sauce which my companions thoroughly enjoyed. My French onion soup and Bavette de Boeuf matched wonderfully those I have had in France. Looking forward to our return visit!

Amazing atmosphere and impeccable service. Eva was tending our table and her attention and care made such a difference ! Food and drinks are very good. Cocktails in particular. Recommended.

Food was fantastic, service was terrific. Eve as our waitress was unbelievable! Fun, attentive and she took excellent care of us.

Great place, amazing food and excellent service. Thanks to Eve for a magnificent treatment! We will return for sure

Awesome! Excellent food a great service! Thanks Eve!

Good food and service - great value. Super wine selection Thank you Eve for being a fantastic server

Eve was terrific! Great food and great hospitality

Our host Eve was fantastic and very attentive. Will be returning again soon!

Eve was absolutely phenomenal, as was the food and drinks! Will be back again!

All I love about France! The romantic atmosphere, decor, and amazing traditional food that tastes like heaven. We shared a few starters plus a main and dessert each. We also loved the champagne and wine, which were what you'd expect from a French restaurant! We'll definitely go back.

Stop by for breakfast to try a french toast. It was one of the worst I have tried, very mushy and soft, came without maple syrope. Could not eat it. Coffee was average, no filter coffee avaible. Overall do not recommend for breakfast.

Interesting menu of French food, tasty and well presented. Very good, friendly and proactive service. Nicely tucked away from the main bustle of Victoria Street. Inside or well heated seating terrace options.

Wonderful place! Eve helped us out and she made us feel very comfortable and was easy to talk to. The food was amazing. Would definitely go again!

Wonderful experience, especially thanks to Eve and her warm, excellent service with great recommendations. We left smiling thanks to her and this lovely french gem.

Tucked out of the way down a Victoria side street, Chez Antoinette is a gem that you're unlikely to bump into accidentally. Its situation allows a large covered outside area, and it's not small inside, but nice and cosy. The service is friendly and attentive without being obtrusive, the menu is relatively small but well chosen, and the house wine is eminently palatable. We had their generously augmented Caesar salad, the roast pork belly (which is slow-cooked and in a rich cassoulet) and sumptuous cremes brulees.

Eve was outstanding. Friendly, calm and extremely nice to my friend and I, who arrived early. She also proactively told us that the happy hour was on and her service will make me come back for sure

Eve was amazing ! Thank you for taking care of us!! Food was perfect

Loved it here. The food was delicious and very fresh. Eve was so sweet and attentive. We loved her energy and how carefully she took care of us. Cheers for the manager who was so kind and allows us to get breakfast even though we were a little late. It was delicious !

A hidden gem which feels like a French terrace. The food is seasonal, and always amazing. I was delighted to find calvados and clafoutis aux cerises, which I look forward to seeing returned to the menu. The staff members are always great and very nice - Eve in particular was terrific. Chez Antoinette has become a favourite for my French friends, and is high on my list of London recommendations.

The food is great! Really recommend the beef. The wine is very tasty as well and you have multiple choices. The staff is warming and polite.

Had reservations for dinner before seeing Hamilton. We had been in the UK for 4 weeks and have had many excellent service experiences. However, our waitress here was the best we have had so far. Eve was fantastic, very engaging, attentive and overall wonderful. 10 stars for her. We had a great time thanks to Eve and the cocktails and food were delicious, too! Definitely recommend!

Surly service, ok food. Maitre d' was a little miffed we didn't want the suggested table but something away from the wind screen. Not sure how French sine everyone seemed to talk Italian. Nice interior however.

Been here several times with my family and friends, but this time I took my boyfriend to eat in this cosy Bistro', and He loved the interior, the service and the food, we had the Onion soup & Bavette with frittes, He simply loved everything, from start to finish, we sat upstairs and were looked after a lovely waitress called Sarah, so not only I will keep coming to try new dishes, but I also recommend to anyone who is about..... this is a French Bistro' but important to mention that, the staff is multilingual here which you don't find everywhere, so don't be afraid if you don't speak French or English, come along and enjoy just like we did. Merci

Eve, the waitress we had upstairs was amazing !

Met an old friend for lunch. Had a delicious Croque Monsieur all served by Eve our waitress who was lovely, very attentive engaging and friendly.

We love this place and the service is excellent, tonight we had Eva and she was really good fun. Very efficient. Food is consistently good. Love the atmosphere.

This was our go to restaurant, but probably not anymore. Came here after work, restaurant clearly have empty tables. Guy rejected us immediately saying they don't have enough waiter to serve people, they even reject online bookings. Left us puzzled without even giving an apology. Sad to be treated that way as a regular.

our experience was nothing short of delightful. Despite arriving later than our reservation time, the staff graciously accommodated us with warm smiles and welcoming attitudes, immediately setting a positive tone for our evening. We began our meal with the Salmon and Chicken dishes, accompanied by a House Salad. Each dish was served promptly and cooked to perfection. The Salmon was tender and flavorful, paired beautifully with a delicate sauce that enhanced its natural taste. The Chicken was equally impressive, juicy, and seasoned just right. The House Salad provided a refreshing balance, with crisp greens and a delightful dressing that tied all the flavors together. For dessert, we indulged in the classic Creme Brulee, which did not disappoint. The caramelized sugar crust had the perfect crunch, and the custard was creamy and rich. To accompany our dessert, we ordered a Flat White and a Mocha. Both drinks were expertly prepared, with the Flat White being smooth and well-balanced, while the Mocha offered a delightful blend of chocolate and coffee. The ambiance at Chez Antoinette Victoria was romantic and intimate, ideal for a special evening out. The dim lighting and tasteful decor created a cozy atmosphere, allowing us to relax and enjoy our meal. The service was outstanding throughout our visit; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Here are a few tips for those planning to visit: 1. Reservations: Make a reservation, especially if you’re dining before a theater show. It can get busy, and having a reservation ensures you get a table. 2. Timing: Arrive on time to fully enjoy the experience. If you're running late, a quick call to the restaurant can help them adjust. 3. Menu Recommendations: Don’t miss the Salmon and Creme Brulee; they were highlights of our meal. 4. Beverages: The Flat White and Mocha were excellent choices to complement our dessert. 5. Ambiance: For a romantic evening, request a table by the window or in a quieter section of the restaurant. Overall, Chez Antoinette Victoria provided a wonderful dining experience that perfectly complemented our theater plans. We left with full hearts and satisfied palates, eager to return for another memorable meal.

Fantastic French toast and incredible service from Eve!

My wife and I traveled to London and had lunch at Chez Antoinette Victoria. Eve was our server, and everything was excellent, from the service to the food to the atmosphere. Definitely felt like an authentic French experience. Definitely go here if you're ever visiting London!

Onion soup: a little salty, but good overall and flavorful. The chicken, a solid dish. The bavette was quite rare and could not finish. Overall a nice place and perhaps other dishes would suit better.

A beautiful place, unfortunately we were unlucky because the cook was late. This breakfast which was a surprise during the honeymoon was a little ruined. But the manager (?) was nice and made a gesture to compensate for this disappointment. Even if my surprise was definitely missed.

Met a friend for breakfast here - excellent omlette, good coffee and nice atmosphere. Friendly service, but not overbearing. Will definitely come again.

We had a dinner, celebrating a birthday, it was 8 of us, and we really enjoyed the place! Great food and excellent service! Eve was super kind and friendly to all of us, and helped us a lot when we needed to change one of the dishes (croque monsieur comes with caramelised onion, which we were not aware of, but very kindly were able to change that!). I would also recommend the creme brulé for dessert!

Delicious meal! Luka, Katie and Alina were very helpful. I would recommend this restaurant as a nice lunch spot near Victoria.

me and my friend visited this restaurant for a catch-up meal and it did not disappoint!! very nice food, nice ambience and fast service even at peak time. we were served by eve who was super attentive, funny and helpful - and we loved her pearl accessories. she should be promoted!! will definitely visit again if we’re in the area!

Wonderful vibes! Eve is an absolute delight! Thank you for making this place so spacial. Keep coming back to this place.:)

Food is great. Taken away a star for initially serving stale nuts and stale bread with starter dish. Shouldn't have got served but it was quickly rectified once complained. Excellent dishes: Dish of the day (Duck l'Orange) Stuffed Courgette, Raspberry tart, Pear & almond tart, French beans, Olives Nocarella. Good dishes: Foie Gras (not sure of it being served with brioche when there is already a chutney), Steak Tartar (could do with a very tiny bit more zing from mustard).

We have been in this place to spend our anniversary. It was great. We had a good steak with a tasty french red wine. Chips were tasty and the sauce that came with the medium rare steak delicious. Hospitality was great and waitresses were really helpful. Highly recommended.

We came for both dinner and breakfast. Very good menu for both. Highly recommend.

Really nice restaurant with delicious food. All the staff is friendly and professional, especially Eve

The French onion soup and Chicken Supreme were both delicious. The waitress, Eve, provided exceptional service. Definitely recommend!

Always a great experience here. Eve is fantastic.

What a great find! Beautiful place, a typical brasserie, delicious food and a great atmosphere! Eve was lovely, thank you for recommending our desserts we truly enjoyed it! Well be back!

On vacation from US. We were in Paris a few days then came to London. We ate breakfast here daily because the food was SO good and the service was amazing. We had a lovely interaction with the owner who was so kind! The croissant was better than any we had in Paris! Can’t wait to come here on our next trip to London!

What a really pleasant find. Popped in here for brunch the food was beautiful and the coffee was a great. The service was great too. Really welcoming and friendly

Excellent service from Ethana in a very busy Tuesday night venue. Great food and very prompt service all with a smile. A business dinner which was very enjoyable well done IVY Victoria

Rare to find in London a decent coffee and cappuccino. Chez Antoinette is an exception. Great pastries and delicious omelettes, excellent French food repertoire. Very nice service, Eve is key in providing a fantastic service upstairs!

Food was really good and service from Eve was outstanding! Thank you we had a great evening

We were served by Eve and she was GREAT!!! Thanks Eve!

I have been to various Ivy’s around the country and this was by far my worst experience. You go to the Ivy for an experience, good service by highly trained staff, ambience, well mannered guests and friendly, welcoming professionals. This restaurant had non of the above, I might as well have been at a Mac Donald’s (somewhere I would never darken the doors) and saved my money. Guests who have given good reviews have clearly never been to a good restaurant and I would advise The Ivy chain, if you are starting to go this downmarket, the whole stack of cards will shortly come tumbling down. You should be a little bit more discerning than mainstream, isn’t that the point of The Ivy. I guess it’s time for people like myself to start looking elsewhere., if this is your quality, your days are numbered. Very disappointing.

Our server Eve was great and the food was delicious!! Highly recommend :)

Eve was very good, enjoyed this place.

Recently had a family lunch, 6 people, food was amazing. Staff attentive. Can’t wait till restaurant comes to Belfast.

My date and I spent 2 hours here chatting as we periodically put our heads in our hands and muttered “oh my god that’s incredible” as we shared starters, mains and desserts, special shout-out to the French soup, House Red and the Crème Brûlée!

We had a great time. We enjoyed sitting outside.
