Victor known for its inventive Mediterranean cuising and custom cocktails has closed its doors in Gowanus. In an Instagram post the restaurant thanked its supporters for the past two and a half years and its dedicated team.
In a Cititour review, Thomas Rafael wrote, “If you haven’t been to Victor in the old Freek’s Mill space in the Gowanus section of Brooklyn, you don’t know what you’re missing. The restaurant with its open kitchen and plenty of outside space has a laid back vibe and excellent Mediterranean fare. Chefs Ryan Angulo and Ian Alvarez (Butter Channel, French Louie) are the forces behind Victor specializing in small plates for sharing and some larger ones.”
Victor’s last day of service was October 14.
