The Ivy Victoria in City of London, Westminster

La ubicación es inmejorable, en la calle Victoria. El ambiente es genial, estilo The Ivy. La comida era muy buena, el ‘Shepherds Pie’ era delicioso, y por lo tanto era el ‘Chocolate Bombe’. El servicio fue extremadamente profesional. En general, una excelente experiencia.

We had an excellent dinner there. The Châteaubriand was excellent along with the sausage and the chicken dishes. Our waitress was phenomenal very personable and did a great job.

Just behind all the busy and crowded streets you find Chez Antoinette. Altough it is located near the main roads, the ambiance is cosy. They have a great selection of dishes on the menu that you can adjust by choosing additions. Service was good as well, all the staff is really friendly.

I hired the private dining experience and the lovely Anna & Alessandro took care of us. THEY WERE AMAZING. such lovely energy , anything i wanted within minutes they made happen, they made our night that much more pleasant. Very polite and we had a lovely laugh also! All my needs were met, will be back!

Incredible attention! The food was super delicious, and the attention was a 10. Special mention for Evelyn, Alice and Mario! We will surely return!

Lovely spot. Arrived without a reservation and they very kindly found us a table. The food was delicious and Eve was a delight. Definitely recommend

Chez Antoinette is a cozy delight right in the middle of London. French in spirit, but our Italian waiter brought an extra layer of warmth. The brunch was top-notch – fluffy brioche, perfectly poached eggs, and irresistible waffles. We’ll definitely be back!

Great food, very good service and Eve the best waitress!

An excellent experience at Chez Antoinette in London! The food was delicious, full of authentic French flavors and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with charming décor that makes you feel at home. A special thank you to Annice, who provided outstanding service. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to explain the menu with care and enthusiasm. Her recommendations were spot-on and truly enhanced our evening. Highly recommend this place — a little corner of Paris in the heart of London!

We loved the breakfasts here so much that we actually came back again! The portions are generous, everything is super tasty, and the atmosphere is great. There’s a lovely terrace for outdoor seating, and the interior has two stylish and cozy floors. The location is also perfect — just a 10-minute walk from Big Ben. The service was excellent as well: fast, friendly, and welcoming. A wonderful spot to start your day with a delicious meal. Highly recommended!

I recently hosted a baby shower for a French friend at Chez Antoinette, and the experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our group of 15. They were incredibly attentive and made sure our guests felt welcome and well taken care of. From the beautifully set table (which we were also allowed to decorate further with some small additions), touches like placecard with personal food orders, to the thoughtful service throughout the event, everything felt special and ran smoothly. The food was lovely—beautifully presented and plenty of options for all requirements. ! The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant is elegant yet comfortable. It was a perfect setting for a memorable and joyful gathering. I can’t recommend Chez Antoinette enough for private events like this. Thank you to the team for making our friend’s baby shower so special!

Food is beyond great, service and atmosphere too. Chef Luis is the best!!!

Really good brunch here today! Great variety of egg dishes on menu, along with their classics. Open kitchen- so you can see all freshly prepared! Nice outdoor terrace for the warmer weather. We had croque Madame, fries, poached eggs with ham and tomatoes. All very good! Good quality & fresh ingredients throughout. Beer is on the pricey side.. £7 a pint.

Absolutamente maravillosos cócteles, vino y comida! Mi amiga vegetariana quedó impresionada con el menú y disfruté compartiendo algunas deliciosas opciones vegetarianas con ella. El personal era increíblemente acogedor y profesional, pero un gran grito - a Anna. Ella proporcionó un servicio excepcional con excelente comida y recomendaciones de vino realmente creíbles. Sinceramente, ese fue el mejor servicio que he experimentado en Londres durante mucho tiempo! ¡Gracias Anna!

It was a quiet weekday morning and we enjoyed an omelette and eggs benedict. Everything was cooked beautifully, and the French decor was very inviting. Recommend.

Had some very good poached eggs with salmon here. The croissant was delicious!

Would prefer options of veg that accompanied a dish beyond the standard potato. Bit you can't eat or don't care for a potato you will come away hungry. Would like omelette option for lunch too.

Stopped for breakfast, great food, selection and service.

Super lovely service I recommend

Best restaurant ever the food and perfect the managers are super friendly I highly recommend

A real favorite for breakfast! At Antoinette’s in London, it’s a nice morning surprise. The ham and cheese omelette: simple, but ultra tasty. Eggs Benedict? Perfect, tender and well balanced. The setting is super charming, and the team is top notch. In short, a little moment of happiness to start the day off right. I recommend with your eyes closed.

Tuve una cena pre-teatro anoche con mi hija, y nos decepcionó mucho. Después del excelente servicio que tuvimos en Windsor, este restaurante es lamentablemente falta. Nos ofrecieron agua cuando llegamos a la mesa, pero después de esperar unos 15 minutos, tuvimos que pedir a una camarera que pasaba que tomara nuestro pedido. Nuestros platos de la cena no se quitaron, no teníamos ninguna oferta de un postre o más bebidas, y una vez más, tuvimos que pedir pagar nuestra cuenta. No es lo que esperábamos y no volveremos. Quizá tuvimos mala suerte...

Excellent food which looked like it was freshly cooked. You can see the chefs at work by the counter you can sit at. Or tables inside and out and mezzanine area. Apple crumble want the normal desert that look like they are made elsewhere, it was a slice of a large apple crumble. Delicious.

He estado en este restaurante en varias ocasiones, sin embargo, el servicio de esta noche fue increíble. Fuimos tan bien recibidos por el personal que me sentí obligado a revisar el servicio. Soy un oficial de policía retirado, más recientemente estoy en una serie C 4 Hunted. La mayoría de los antiguos colegas siguen desempeñando funciones oficiales que trabajan en diversas dependencias especializadas. Así que coordinar una cena es casi imposible. Sin embargo, esto fue fácil por el personal. Así que me gustaría elogiar a nuestra camarera Irena (sobresaliente y competente) con la recepción Halima y Juela haciendo que nuestro grupo se sienta muy especial. Todo el personal incluyendo camarera sin nombre que tomó algunas de las fotos. Volveremos, pero con más invitados.

A hidden gem in Victoria. The staff were fantastic, so attentive and fast service. Really great atmosphere. The food was delicious and great portions, I would definitely come here again!

We were looking for a restaurant near our hotel. We picked this French restaurant. I was so impressed on every level. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was of a bistro and very busy and engaging. The food and wine selection was beyond expectations. We know our California wines but are a bit ignorant when it comes to to French varietals. We asked questions and received tastings to make sure we liked the suggestions. We were so pleased in every way! Try this restaurant; you won’t regret it!

Very cute and cozy outdoor dining place. Especially great for brunch with friends.

Food was great and our waitress, Eve, was amazing!

We loved Chez Antoinette! One of the best meals we had on our 10 trip through the UK. We chose it for our last night in London. There were great GF options for my daughter. The salmon was fantastic as was the Croque Monsieur. Our server Eve was a delight - we had a great night!

Food was excellent, had Eve as a server - so nice and attentive

I am a regular at Chez Antoinette and have been coming on and off for years. It is some of the best and most affordable French Cuisine in London. The service is fantastic especially Eve who is always so helpful and goes the extra mile. Recently departed manager Daniel was a star and really made the place what it is today. I hope they will find another general manager worthy of the place and who will put as much energy into it as Daniel did, if they do this place will continue to succeed. Thanks again Chez Antoinette I hope to back very soon. Best Regards James

Very good French restaurant with quality cuisine and a friendly atmosphere. Quite high price but it's London!

I recently enjoyed a delicious Monsieur. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was lovely. I would definitely recommend this dish to anyone looking for a satisfying meal. The service was also excellent, making for a pleasant dining experience. I can't wait to return back to London and try more of their menu.

I love the place! I often come here after work and Effi (the very lovely lady that speaks Spanish at the second floor) is extremely kind! She’s very attentive and part of the reason I keep coming back is because she’s great at her job also because the French soup is great!

A Hidden Gem at Chez Antonette Tucked away like a Parisian secret, Chez Antonette delivered an unforgettable moment of comfort and charm. The setting alone—cozy bistro chairs, soft lighting, and a lush garden view—feels like a soft embrace on a chilly afternoon. But the true highlight? The French onion soup. Rich, deeply caramelized onions in a perfectly balanced broth, topped with golden, bubbling cheese—it’s everything you want in a classic, executed with genuine love. Paired with slices of warm, crusty baguette, it becomes a dish that warms you from the inside out. To elevate it further, I had a glass of Saint-Émilion. Smooth, velvety, and full of character, it danced beautifully with the savory notes of the soup. It’s a pairing I’ll remember for a long time—like two old friends in perfect conversation. Whether you’re passing through or looking for a place to linger and savor, Chez Antonette is well worth the stop 🥰

Taste so good, environment very nice, ideal place

Wonderful food. And exceptional service from Ivie.

Had a wonderful meal at Chez Antoinette! Thanks Eve for the excellent service and engaging experience!

Incredible experience, delicious!!

All day menu on their website is not available on Sunday. We only had a brunch menu. Food is good and service is ok. I had a huge expectation for French onion soup which turned out to be nothing special. Chicken was succulent and flavoursome but the sauce was less impressive, peas and green beans were the best dishes. Wine selection is ok but not a good Viognier wine. Although I made it clear it was on a birthday occasion on my online booking, they paid no attention to it. The lady said 'oh we didn't know it was your birthday! ' when my friends told her they were paying the bill for my birthday. I am a local resident in SW3 for 17 years and the restaurants we visit on birthday occasions such as Cote, Daphne's, the Ivy or Medlar never forget such special occasions on our bookings. On arrival we asked if we could sit upstairs because it looked a bit nicer but the manager snubbed our request immediately saying it's booked for a party. But while we were staying, we could see empty tables upstairs and no sign of a party, couples were sitting at tables. He probably thought we were Asian tourists who would never return. It's a wrong assumption since all of us Japanese are long-term local residents who love to try out different restaurants in SW and compare them to our food experience in France, Spain and Italy. The young male waiter even looked so surprised at my experience in France saying 'you have been to France?' We decided to go to another cafe nearby for desert instead of staying on for sweets there. It has a nice Parisian ambiance and good enough for coffee and waffles for tourists but I wouldn't recommend it for local residents and serious eaters on special occasions because of their lack of genuine customer service and mediocre food. I am very disappointed as I had a very high expectations based on positive reviews. I really wanted to add this place to our regular place for dining out as it's so close to our home. So I am very sad to say it's not good enough to bring my friends and family.

After two good brunches at “Chez Antoinette Victoria” I had a rather disappointing lunch. I chose the Toulouse sausage with Comté mashes potatoes: The sausage was NOT a Toulouse sausage but just a cheap supermarket local item and the mashed potatoes did not have any Comté in them. The dish on the menu cost £24 (plus service) and was very mediocre. Definitely bad value for money in spite of good service and pleasant atmosphere

A fantastic bistro in London. It’s a two min walk down from our hotel and was recommended by our hotel concierge. The food was absolutely fantastic. My husband and I enjoyed the baked Camembert. I had the croque Provençal, so yummy! It’s so cute inside. A nice neighborhood bistro vibe.

Excellent food and very nice place

Amazing wonderful restaurant moment

I recommend this restaurant, very beautiful decor with a very good atmosphere. The staff is very professional and the meals are great

Lovely little French restaurant with excellent food, fabulous drinks and amazing service from Eve.

This is the best restaurant I've been to so far in London. Eve our server was very kind and made our experience very enjoyable. Completely recommended and I intend on coming back.

Chez Antoinette in Victoria is a charming French bistro that offers a delightful experience for anyone seeking authentic French cuisine in the heart of London. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with an interior that transports you straight to a cozy Parisian café. The menu features classic French dishes, including a variety of delicious pastries, quiches, and savory options that truly reflect the essence of French culinary tradition.

Eve was so wonderful! Very inviting, FUN, and helpful🥰 Restaurant is cute and well-maintained. Food is delicious (Ham and cheese omelette is yummy) & the sausage was slack-jaw GOOD. Eve rocked. Truly the nicest company we’ve encountered thus far🩷

I didn't get to eat, inside there were only two tables occupied and they told me that everything was reserved and I agreed to eat outside and the three tables where I changed smelled like dogs!! Either they don't wash the street or their furniture... and considering that I have dogs and I'm not disgusting about that, the place made me very disgusted. I left for service and smell

We just dined at Chez Antoinette, the atmosphere was great, warm and inviting. We had a fairly large party with an infant and they accommodated us well. Our waitress, Eve, was great. She gave us great recommendations. We especially love the smoked salmon, beef bone marrow, beef bavette, and the twenty-eight day aged rib eye. If you’re a local or a tourist, Chez Antoinette is a must visit.

I can’t recommend this restaurant any higher than I have the service provided by our server Eve was five star! The food and wine were fantastic. Marcus feel like one of the family!

Wonderful place to dine in at for French cuisine. We came in with a large group and was served very nicely by our waitress Eevee!

Food was great, my wife and I had ribeye steak and salmon. Both were delicious. The Creme Brulee was great as well... Our server was fun and good as well. Slightly disappointed the new menu did not have a duck based main dish.

Eve was fantastic. Chatted with us about our trip. Croissants were divine. Kids ordered the Nutella waffles and plain omelet (a bit too much Nutella, but waffles were delicious and the omelet was the best they’ve ever tried). Oat latte and espresso martinis were perfect. Baby gems salad and eggs royale were also perfectly done. Don’t forget to get pastries to go and bread/butter for the table. Will be back!

Superb establishment, we ate very well and were very well received! Thank you!

If you want to have a happy tea time on your way to Buckingham Palace, this cafe is a must-visit ✨✨ Although it's French, everything from the aroma to the visuals and tastes of the Mariage Frères tea, croque monsieur, waffles, and various gateaux were delicious and I was happy✨✨ Also, the staff were very kind, and the lovely and fun madam welcomed us, making it a place where we could spend our day with peace of mind. When I come to London again, I will have a relaxing tea time here (*´ー｀*)✨

Coziest unexpected French restaurant find. The food was delicious. The atmosphere and decor was beautiful. Eve gave us the best recommendations and everything turned out wonderful. Highly recommend 😊

I tried the French toast and the spinach omelette the French toast was decent it could of been better the spinach omelette it wasn’t that good would not get it again and the food took very long to come.The service was alright the waiter was kind of being spiteful and messed up our order the atmosphere was alright nothing special. Overall wouldn’t go to the restaurant again.

Food was amazing, service was fantastic and atmosphere is perfect. Special thanks to Evie our server she was a star!

I had a fantastic breakfast experience at Chez Antoinette Victoria! Ordered a black coffee, eggs Benedict, and a mushroom omelet, and everything was spot on. The black coffee was rich and smooth, perfect to start the day. The eggs Benedict had perfectly poached eggs with a creamy hollandaise sauce, and the mushroom omelet was light, fluffy, and full of flavor. The ambiance was cozy, and the service was okay—friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Definitely a great spot for breakfast or brunch in London. Highly recommended!

Very good brunch, Ève was really great at the service!

Not my scene, unfortunately. I was reluctantly dragged along by friends to what turned out to be yet another overpriced London establishment where dining and drinking quickly becomes a costly affair. The service deserves credit for being attentive and pleasant. However, the basement dining area felt cramped and uninspiring, lacking the ambiance you'd expect given the prices. London's dining scene offers far better options with more appealing atmospheres and better value for money. I wouldn't choose to return when the city has so many superior alternatives to explore.

Friendly, relaxed, nice atmosphere, good food, great service, does what it says on the tin.

Was looking for a yummy breakfast that was a bit different than what we had been having for breakfast our other days in London. We both got the scrambled eggs and toast. I got French toast & my friend got the waffles. This was the best breakfast we had all trip! So yummy! Service was great & it was super quick & easy! Would love to return if I’m ever back in the area!

Lovely dinner many thanks to Ava

Wonderful evening with friends, great waitress that served us, Eva, did a fantastic job

My kids (8 and 10) and I went to the Ivy on a recent trip to London. My son loved his fish and chips. My daughter had pasta which was fine. I had the burger which was OK - unfortunately they do not have a gluten free bun. The waitress was very good and service was excellent. The restaurant also has a nice ambiance.

We could see from the street on a cold Sunday night that there were plenty of empty tables so we went inside. We were met by a man in a green jacket who wasn’t friendly and said all he had spare was one table. This table was adjacent to the door which we accepted. There was a cold draft every time someone came through that door. This would’ve been acceptable but for the fact that during our entire meal there were empty tables nowhere near the front door. This was clearly a petulant table allocation by the man in the green jacket and not rectified by any other staff member.

A slice of Paris in London - the ambiance was welcoming, clean, and comfortable. The food was delicious! I had the croissant and croque madame with espresso, which was the perfect combination. And, our server - Eve - was so friendly, patient, and helpful. Her service alone would bring me back. I would highly recommend checking out this hidden gem!

Sono stata all'ivy Victoria un lunedì e ho avuto il piacere di provare il tradizionale fish and Chips. Nonostante sia arrivata in anticipo mi hanno fatta accomodare. Personale molto cordiale, sono stata servita dal signor Giovanni, attento ad ogni mia necessità e richiesta. É stato tutto sopra ogni mia aspettativa

Such a lovely meal, the food was delicious and the service was top notch. Had great chats with our lovely server Maggie! Will defo be returning ☺️

Great ambience/decor and fantastic food. Really excellent service, especially from Maggie who gave us great food recommendations

We were a group of 6 and they sat us on a nice table on the second floor. Great service, tasty food and fun vibes! All the dishes that we tried were good especially the duck, beef bevette, onion soup and creme brulee. Would recommend this place!

Dined for breakfast and both service and food were excellent. Our server, Eve, was a gem and the barista went out of her way to make a surprise hot chocolate with bear art for our son. Sadly, we found this place on the last day of our trip and did not get to try lunch or dinner.

Great food, drinks and atmosphere!!! Thank you for the excellent service Eva. Saludos desde Texas / Puerto Rico.

Truly lovely place - the French music and decor really takes you on a voyage of time. The servers are polite ( I was helped by a lovely smiling lady called Eve that went above and beyond for us). And the food is amazing! I had an almond cappuccino ( usually not as good as the one with normal milk but this one was done perfectly) , granola and Greek yoghurt - AMAZING!! , and we got canelés that were also great. On top of everything the prices are below what you’d find in this location. Overall great value, vibe and food. Would recommend.

Had such a wonderful meal!! Beautiful food, perfect and thoughtful service, great drinks. Couldn’t have asked for a better night. Thank you, Eve!

Outstanding meal. Eve took exceptional care of us. Couldn’t ask for better food or service.

Lovely lunch, Eve our waiter was so lovely and gave us great service. We will be back x

Everything was excellent, super nice and very clean

Lovely food and a quaint atmosphere. In particular, our waitress, Anais, was a joy - she was extremely attentive and accommodating. We will be back!

The food is amazing! And our waiters are very accommodating. Thank you Emrha and Eve! We had such a wonderful time.

Lovely food and thank you for your Excellent service Eve!

This restaurant is fabulous and our server Eva was also fabulous! We ordered the Croque Madame and the spinach and mushroom omelette, as well as a chocolate croissant and a mimosa. Everything was delicious. excellent restaurant!

Good food, even better service - thank you Eve!

What a nice little place in that not so nice part of Victoria. The decor is pleasantly unpretentious, the food is nice, nice like a French brasserie, not trendy at all, it’s overall a good place for a relaxed or business lunch (a lot of colleagues meet there). Most of all, our lady server EVA was just a delight. Natural, hardworking, charming and funny. Best waitress ever. A total rockstar.

Crepes were amazing and the fresh orange was lovely and cold.

Eva has been great every time I’ve visited!

Lovely French restaurant, good menu choices and tasty food, would be a great brunch place

Eve was the loveliest server ever, so sweet and chatty. Service was brilliant from all staff members. Food was absolutely delicious (I had confit duck which I would absolutely recommend, same with the apple crumble). Thank you very much guys! :)

Cute little bistro tucked away from all chains. Lovely ambience

This particular night service was very stretched and slow but friendly-ish. Stood at the front to be seated for about 5-6 mins without being acknowledged. Very limited option for vegetarians. Soup or the day was mushroom soup - delicious. However only one main and it was a very poor effort at best almost embarrassing. Desserts were outstanding. Non veg diners may fair much better perhaps service aside.

Between the modern buildings there is a beautiful French restaurant with a very nice atmosphere. We came here for breakfast and were not disappointed. A large selection of sweet dishes and a large selection like cynics 😉 Fantastic service We highly recommend it!

The food was very poor. The flat white tasted and looked below average. Food was also pricey. The French toast was decent hence I'm not giving 1 star. They service was also poor - the waiter was ok, but the lady that sat us down had a bit of an attitude.

We are a French family with 3 children (11, 6 and 1 years old) we were very well received in this restaurant. The + that we liked: - Eve the waitress was adorable and also spoke to us a little in French - gluten-free meals offered including a delicious chocolate cake (Antoinette cake), light, not too sweet, a real delight - possibility of really heating our baby's potty (because for a few days it has only been in a bowl of hot water and it takes a long time and ultimately not very hot) We highly recommend

We had an exceptional evening at this hidden gem. Soup of the day (mushroom) followed by the Beef Bourguignon and our server Eve was spot on with each recommendation. We will return. Romantic and unpretentious too.

We ate at the bar in front of the kitchen team. What an incredible team. Top service, fast, efficient, clean. We can assure you that the kitchens are perfectly clean. The teams are coordinated and move forward together. The food is amazing. We were in France, with our products and habits. The croques monsieur were better than some eaten in France. All the dishes we saw coming out looked amazing. Fast, efficient, attentive service. Some speak French, others don't, but whatever your level of English, they take care of you and take care to understand you. And what honesty, at the end, wanting to give a tip and understanding that we were French, the waiter insisted on telling us that the service was already included and that there was no need to tip more. Kindness, service, efficiency, excellent products. A magnificent discovery. We ate at the bar in front of the kitchen team. What an incredible team. Top service, fast, efficient, clean.

Best croque madam and best pein perdu (French toast) I ever had

Chez Antoinette at St james is beautifully brilliant. Every ingredient is thoroughly thought through. The French onion soup transports your taste buds across the channel and sits you down at a wonderful bistro. The smoked salmon was so delicate and flavoursome. The accompanying bread was never going to enough. Beautiful. My main of Plaice with brown butter sauce capers and croutons was the best ive ever had. The fish fresh and cooked to absolute perfection. The croutons adding the suttle crunch texture. Brown butter sauce was the best ive had the absolute pleasure to have tastwd. I would love to be able to cook the simple croutons as good as they are served here at Chez Antoinette. My wifes duck did not disappoint. Again i have to use the phrase, cooked to perfection. Crispy skin, pink meat. The Orange sauce was divine. The accompanying fries did not disappoint. Crispy and seasoned to perfection. The decision to have deserts was certainly rewarded in the Beautiful Creme Brulee and lemon meringue pie. It took us back to how food tasted when it has been cooked with passion and love. I have to make a special mention of Eve and Anna who made our evening a special one. Anna we love the passion you have for your job. It is lovely to see. Eve we felt so relaxed in your company. Thank you. Hope to see you all soon.
