As on our first visit to this old-fashioned... "As on our first visit to this old-fashioned (in a good way!)
I again have the problem that the food seems much better than a 3 but not quite a solid 4, but three courses for £25 with a choice of nearly all of the a la carte menu is a very good deal, as is the wine list with many bottles below or around £20 and grouped by style.
Duck breast was good, though it could have been pinker and the raspberry sauce was a bit overpowering; the bed of rosti was nice.

As part of The Happiness Project London rules, I have to try new places every time I eat out, so having researched restos in Soho (and unable to get through to Andrew Edmunds which I also want to try) I went along last night with my good friend Jo, and was very impressed with what I saw.
The relaxed, homely French restaurant I knew was still evident, with rustic wooden tables and chairs, candles in wine bottles, and a pianist in the corner.
Coupled with the hearty, tasty food and modern French menu, it reminded me of one of the better restaurants which fill the streets of Paris or Brussels.
It was all good French cooking – simple, tasty, flavoursome, although in Paris or Brussels I’m sure the meat would be a little pinker.
It felt like a relaxed local resto, with a nice friendly atmosphere, and filled with a low-key crowd, not the usual Soho trendies – the kind of place we used to eat in every weekend in Brussels.

Because we were so tired we didn't want to leave and look for another place so we tried to get the attention of waitstaff to get our orders.
Twenty minutes later we succeeded.It is a cramped place with poor acoustics, it got so noisy that we had to shout to hear each other as if we were in a bar.
Our questions about the fish were greeted by a shrugging "I don't know and I don't care" attitude (obviously not in those words) so with fear of losing the waiter again we gave up ordered the duck and the chicken.
Half an hour later my chicken arrived, and my friend had to wait for her duck for another 20 minutes.
When it came to pay the bill, the waiter obviously thought that it was more important to clear up the 2 tables that had just left before bringing us our bill.Don't go to this restaurant unless one or more of these apply:1) You have the patience of Solomon.2) You are at least partially deaf.3) You hate the person who is your guest and want to make them suffer.Seriously, there are much nicer places in Soho to part with your hard-earned cash and they do involve service with a smile.

food menu
My high expectations were not unwarranted – I and some Francophile friends have been well pleased with Pierre Victoire’s lunch menu in the past, but my first dining experience was a joy.
Other reviewers’ experiences have been diminished by an over-busy restaurant – don’t be perturbed, as I find this reflects on popularity-drawing quality rather than a poor layout.
My friend’s Magret de Canard was wonderfully cooked, its red wine and raspberry jus noteworthily indulgent.
The restaurant’s reputation of independence and a commitment to quality is justified; even an element of the décor provided a talking point (no spoilers).
I’ve always been pleased with the value offered by Pierre Victoire, especially its prix fixe lunch and dinner menus (the above just passing the £50 mark, for two), and I feel that any verbal gushing here is well deserved.

There are undeniably antiquated touches: staff attempt to lure customers into spending £10 more than the price of house wine by plonking £25 bottles of Chianti on tables.
And the astonishingly long menu (15 starters and 18 main courses including no less than four variations on steak- frites) tends to opt for quantity of over quality.
Cooking might be variable, and mains cost a not-inconsiderable £13 or thereabouts, but there’s no denying the charming, low-lit ambience of this perennially popular restaurant.
The main stylistic touch paying homage to the venue’s French theme?
