Chez Antoinette Victoria is a French café and restaurant at 22 Palmer Street, close to St James’s Park and Victoria Station. Inspired by Parisian cafés and the riverside guinguettes of Lyon, the space offers an informal retreat from the pace of central London.
Breakfast begins with a bakery display of madeleines, croissants and canelés, alongside barista made coffee. Croque Madame, Eggs Royale, omelettes and French toast make the morning selection substantial enough for both a quick start and a longer meeting.
The seasonal all day menu moves into traditional dishes such as French onion soup, escargots, Croque Monsieur and bavette. The cooking draws on co-owner Aurélia’s family memories of Lyon, balancing familiar French comfort with the lighter rhythm of a modern London café.
Rillettes, pâté and Camembert suit an apéritif, while Sancerre, Côtes du Rhône, cocktails and spritzes provide several ways to pair a drink with the food. Desserts and pastries complete the experience, and the broad daily service makes Chez Antoinette equally useful for breakfast, dinner or a meal before the theatre.
Address: 22 Palmer Street, London SW1H 0PH, England
