We had a lovely 50th birthday dinner at Victor. The food was delicious -- we had the duck and the trout. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. We appreciated the complimentary celebratory drink. The atmosphere was nice and quiet. I would say that the temperature of the restaurant was about 2⁰ cooler than comfortable. Overall, it was a great night and I would return to Victor again.

Victor is an actual hidden gem. If not for the tucked away location, they’d be packed every night. If you’re looking for good food & good service in a quiet spot, this is it

Dining at Victor was a culinary delight! The food was simply amazing, and the service extraordinaire. The ambiance has a warm modern vibe, with a few throwbacks to a previous era with patterned fine bone china. We were a table of 4, which included my mom, dad, wife, and myself. We started with a charcuterie board that was loaded with cheese, cured meat, and nuts. The passion fruit syrup was especially good with the soft cheese, but all of the board was enjoyable, as we completely cleaned it off. With the main courses, each one had a wonderful sauce, which made the French flair of the dish. The presentation of mom’s rainbow trout was the best, in a three dimensional presentation. The eggplant purée really complimented the soft, tender, and flavourful trout. The truffle cream potato’s with the tender pan roasted chicken was a melt in your mouth flavourable experience, while the steak with the mushroom purée sauce was delicious. My dad enjoyed the braised lamb shoulder and exclaimed “This is the best lamb I’ve had in a very long time.” We were surprised that the Lamb arrived as a collection of smaller pieces, easily cut into bite sized pieces, all of which literally melted in your mouth, they were so tender. When it came time for desert, we were not disappointed with the chocolate mouse cake with candied orange topping, and the bread pudding, both delicious in their own ways. Most remarkable was the service. The service was attentive to details, removing unneeded glasses, bringing required cutlery such as steak knives, and regularly filling water glasses. The service was very cheerful, timely, and effective. What really blew me away, was that they took the time to read my open table profile, so they knew I had a gluten intolerance problem. Knowing this, they provided me with alternatives to bread and crackers, and a desert of berries and ice cream! The Victor will leave you with an awesome culinary experience and great memories!

Nice spacious pleasant room, inside Germain hotel. Waitstaff cordial but perhaps a bit green. Entrees were fine EXCEPT - both arrived lukewarm (this when there were only 7 diners total in the room) - veg with lamb stew (green beans, carrots) were raw, unseasoned With mains almost all > CDN $40, this doesn't meet expectations. At that price point there should be no defects. Why do some refer to this as French restaurant?

Average food and inattentive staff; not rude, but never present even though there were only two tables (including ours) in the dining room. Food took a long time to come out. Would not recommend.

Soothing jazz music in the background. Rich decor set in early last century, with curtains two stories high and a colour scheme that pops, soothingly. Food was fantastic. We had a couple of apps and sides to go with our steak, sea bass, gnocchi to share. Server (Natasha) was amazingly good at enhancing our dining experience. Great job.

Gratuity was automatically included if you choose a set menu, though there was no mention of it the menu and no one told us that. Food was decent, but nothing special. Deffo not worth the money/time

The menu posted on Google was not what was actually offered at the restaurant. My guess is that it is an older menu and no patrons have submitted any new pictures. The prices were also a lot higher than the ones that were posted in Google. We did quite enjoy our meals though. The chef was amazing and we had a very good experience.

We were looking for a special place for dinner after a movie at TIFF on Christmas Eve. We came across Victor after searching online for something open and it was a lovely surprise. Beautiful room and our food was flawless. There were not a lot of other diners and so it was pretty quiet but the playlist was all cheesy Christmas tunes and too loud. That is my only complaint. Having said that, I did not ask them to turn it down and I am sure if I had they would have obliged… so perhaps not fair to criticize. Watch out …. it’s pricey. But for us on this particular night it was worth every penny.
