The Victoria - (Near Tower Hamlets, london)

2 /5 Rasheda Yasmin: I feel bad for doing this review, but i feel as if the foods been a let down for a while. It was really good at first but now, but now standards have fallen it is not the same. I got John Dory and i understand it is a small fish but the side that came with it did not make up for it. My friend got Duck Pate with Sour dough bread but it came with some Layered potato. He had to ask them for the sour dour bread, which he did get after. I am not being rude the pate tasted weird, it was pungent. The other issue i have is customers with dogs in the eating area. We had a table and then a couple walked in with a dog started shaking, and i dont want dog hair all over my food and dont want to smell wet dog. Before we got the food we moved to a different table. Previous experience has been good but the last few times we have been its not been the same.

5 /5 Beatriz Garrido: Beautiful garden with plenty of tables - book in advance if sunny because it get very busy. Cocktails are delicious and have a few deals on weeks days 4-6pm including oysters for £2 a pop. Inside is gorgeous and the staff is always so friendly and knowledgeable; there’s always Amazon specials in the board. Super seasonal menu but what never fails are the Croquettes… sometimes lobster, hake, mackerel or cheese… Always yes! Missing the shrimp burger though…

5 /5 Sam Hagger: ‘Above’ at The Vic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolutely superb new dining environment and experience, set above an already delightful and well-established quality pub. Raw & fried oysters, fried chicken with caviar, steak tartare, monkfish curry, and perfectly cooked turbot. Not to mention a great pint of Guinness downstairs beforehand, followed by a fat-washed Old Fashioned and a very nice Bacchus. The food was executed incredibly well, and the front-of-house team were exceptional! Open Friday and Saturday evenings. It’s not big, so book early to be delighted—and to avoid disappointment.

5 /5 Noi Rotstein: Great gastropub that had the vibes of a cosy pub but the food of a fancy restaurant. Our waiter was so helpful and friendly and gave us an amazing recommendation from the days specials--a brill with cockles and new potatoes. It was delicious. The potatoes especially were insanely good, i think because they absorbed the juices from everything else. The drinks selection is also great with multiple english wines.

5 /5 Will Harvey: Really nice vibes and food. We had 2 courses. Steak tartare and scallops to start. With Brill and hale mains. Both were so good. Service was fabulous.
