Bistrot Victoires

"We chose this restaurant for our third evening in Paris, and until we came here, we thought the other restaurants we had dined at were excellent. After eating here, our perspective changed completely! If we ever return to Paris, we will definitely visit this place again. It was our first time trying French onion soup, and it was absolutely delicious. We had eaten escargots before, but the ones served here were even better. For the main course, one of us ordered the steak, another chose the duck, and the third had the “Meat of the Day” (grilled veal). Unfortunately, the steak was a bit tough and did not meet our expectations. The cooking level was not quite right at first, but the staff kindly recooked it upon request. However, the grilled veal served on a skewer and the duck were both outstanding and full of flavor. For dessert, we had the profiteroles and the crème brûlée. The profiteroles were different from what we are used to, as they were filled with ice cream instead of the traditional cream filling, but they were still very enjoyable. The crème brûlée was also excellent. We would especially like to thank the staff for their warm hospitality, friendliness, and helpfulness. The excellent service started from the moment we arrived at the door and continued throughout our meal. We must have visited at the perfect time because we didn’t have to wait at all to get in. However, by the time we left, there was a very long queue outside the restaurant, which speaks volumes about its popularity."
