Time Out (2013) “The pasteis, succulent custard tarts, are baked according to Victor’s mother’s secret recipe, while the coffee is prepared just as if you were in Lisbon, with Victor proudly telling everyone that the Portuguese are as coffee-mad as the Italians.”
Emerald Bond (2013) “The perfect place to rest tired feet after a hard day shopping in gay Marais – a little marble counter, a phenomenal custard tart, a suave Portugese man in a grandpa hat and a damn good espresso to boot.”
David Lebovitz (2012) “I could not stop thinking about that warm little quivering custard, nestled in a crispy tart shell…”
Bruno Verjus (2011) “…pâte feuilletée garnie d’une crème sucrée, tel un flan et saupoudrés de cannelle à la demande. Victor les cuit au fur et à mesure et vous les sert encore tièdes.”
