Le Garrick Brasserie Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

As a person whom grew up in france I am disgraced by the standard of cuisine in this establishment. The onion soup was served with half chopped onions and the foie gras my partner was served was barly a cm thick as a person who grew up in france I feel this is a disgrace to french culture. I ordered an onglet a poile, which was served medium to well done. Once again a let down to french culture, I feel that london société should represent french culture in a respectful manner especially due to our history

It was warm and welcoming, a little cramp in most places, but overall, a place worth visiting should you find yourself on Covent Gardens.

I just love it here - discreet with great service, authentically French food and reasonably priced, it's my default Covent Garden restaurant.

Intimate restaurant near Covent Garden, good location for a pre-theatre meal.

Excellent cuisine and atmosphere . The servers were superb too

Its just lovely, always is the food is spot on

Delightful evening, with the attentive staff really making it a place I want to visit again.

Quality French food, recommendable "maison" (homemade) products, good service in English (of course) and French. Very good quality/price ratio, per se, and even more so compared to many in the environment We will return on our next trip to London.

Lovely setting, but a bit underwhelming. My partner and I recently visited Le Garrick, and while the restaurant has a lovely interior, the overall experience didn’t quite meet our expectations. The food was nice but lacked seasoning, and for the price, we were hoping for something a bit more special. The service team was friendly but seemed very under pressure, which led to some issues with our order. It wasn’t a bad experience, but for the cost, we expected a little more attention to detail. It’s a nice spot for a meal, especially for the atmosphere, but based on our visit, we felt it was a little overpriced for what you get.

Small and a bit shabby but excellent food. I had a beef bourguignon with bread and butter, followed by creme brulee and a glass of red wine. Couldn't have been better.

Great atmosphere Unique As close to Paris as possible in England Love it ?’!! Merci

Fantastic restaurant we booked for a late meal after a show. It was so delicious the staff were amazing. We really enjoyed spending time there.

Amazing little Bistro, great wine, food, service. Lovely atmosphere, reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

It was our wedding anniversary and we went with our 8 year-old daughter. We sat upstairs and we had a very good time. The service, the food, the atmosphere, everything was impeccable.

Love this restaurant. Have been a couple of times with colleagues and family. Delicious food and friendly service. Cosy atmosphere.

A throw back to wonderful French bistros. Fabulous menu if you like that sort of food - we do. We shared calamari dish (bit meagre) then I had a generous Provençal fish stew and my husband had a small, whole chicken and chips. My aperitif of a Kir was made exactly as I asked.

Le Garrick is our favourite place to dine in,whenever it's birthday or just casual dinner to satisfy our Cravings.Charles and Dominika are the best boss to work with..Everyone are attentive and friendly.My favourite dessert is Cheesecake.We celebrated my husband's birthday...

best pre theatre menu in the city!

Thanks so much for a wonderful night. We came here for a small and intimate work meal and Le Garrick delivered in every way. Thank you to Roxy and Mehdi for creating the most wonderful atmosphere and delivering the most exemplary service. Food was incredible and service was very efficient. Will definitely be coming back.

Excellent restaurant offering typical French dishes. We went into reservation and were placed right away. The waitresses spoke French, which is very appreciated. We had the beef bourguignon as well as the hot goat cheese salad, both were excellent. I recommend this place. Small downside for the arrangement of tables in the room, we see that they want to increase the number of customers, which means that we had a table which was in a corridor, and very close to other customers.

This venue is not one for the claustrophobic. Beneath ground the guests are literally crammed into every nook and cranny. As I write this I'm still struggling to find anything quintessentially french about this place other than the flag in the window. The pate starter was presented with about as much finesse as a brick. Out of the fridge on a white plate, a couple of gerkins and some unheated bread. Butter in little sachets you'd find in your local canteen....the elegance of it! The mains marginally better but a duck leg from its size more like a duckling, who if it did see a honey glaze I couldnt taste it, rested on a bed of mashed potato with a gravy more at home in a lamb hotpot. Service was very good in fairness to the staff serving (if a tad saccharine at times). Though they needed to be contorionists bless them to navigate the cosy venue. The darkness didn't help - dans le noir. A lack of light meant you needed your mobile phone torch switched on just to see the menu. I've been to many french restaurants in France and indeed the UK over the years and sad to say this is a poor excuse for one. Good value for money?....afraid not. The mark up on the duck must have been close to £20 of the £24 price tag based on what you actually got. The reviews for Le Garrick bemuse me (bordering on the incredulous in terms of volume, photos and the adjectives used mmmm) as far better french cuisine to be had in the capital. Sadly a french flag and a sliced baguette doesn't cut it A lesson learnt.

Lovely place, excellent staff and service; only the portions were quite small.

Pre theatre dinner and our first visit. We liked the ambiance - very intimate. The service was excellent and so was the food. The steak was perfectly cooked at medium rare and was very tender. Glad they offer half litre carafes of wine as one doesn’t want to drink a whole bottle before a show. Shall go on our list for theatre district restaurants.

Not a great meal. The steak was overcooked and the rabbit stew was slightly tough and lacked meat. Mentioned to the waiting staff that the steak was overcooked but there was no reaction. Very disappointing meal

Bustling, busy French restaurant. One I've always wanted to try out, but until now for some reason, never got there. So glad I have ! Went for a pre-birthday meal & it lived up to expectations. The scallops were soft & beautifully cooked, as they were only just luke warm, our waitress whizzed them away & within a couple of minutes another plate of delicious warm scallops arrived. No fuss, no bother - excellent. We also had mussels as a starter, followed by steak frites & beef bourguignon, tasty, hot & the steak was cooked to perfection. I did order a side of mash to add to the beef as not too many potatoes in the casserole as this was a big portion filled with melt in the mouth beef ! (So down to personal taste to add mash). Sadly no room for desert this visit. Absolutely will return. Very highly recommended. Our server was excellent too.

Absolutely stunning!! The staff were friendly and the food was amazing!!! Would definitely come here again.

A wonderful lunch on Saturday, the downstairs has private little nooks which was great (we were 4 people). Service was warm and friendly, all the food and wine was excellent, my rib-eye was great, the boeuf bourgignon was greatly enjoyed, the Malbec, café gourmand and everything was utterly tip-top. Go, you will not regret it.

We love this place, always friendly staff. Great prices for the preshow.

Comida pre-teatro. Gran comida, servicio fantástico, gran ambiente - y barato! ¿Qué más se puede pedir? ¡No puedo esperar a volver la próxima vez que estemos en Londres!

We had an exceptional time at Le Garrick restaurant, located in the lively Covent Garden district, to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday. This little corner of France in the heart of London is a real gem for lovers of traditional French cuisine. Reservations are strongly recommended (as we did), and we were not disappointed! The dishes offered took us back to France: cassoulet, salmon accompanied by ratatouille, coq au vin, beef bourguignon... And what about the desserts! The crème brûlée, the chocolate fondant, the gourmet coffee, and a special mention for their absolutely divine cheesecake. The starters were just as tasty, with foie gras, delicious onion soup and even snails, all perfectly executed. We were warmly welcomed by a young waiter, speaking excellent French, which is a real plus for those who do not have a good command of English. His kindness and attention made our experience even more pleasant. They even had the kindness to bring a little candle to my mother’s dessert while singing “Happy Birthday”, a kindness that touched us a lot. The setting is cozy and intimate, perfect for sharing a friendly moment with family or friends. Le Garrick is truly a little piece of France in London where we enjoy getting together around delicious and comforting dishes. A must-see address that we warmly recommend!

Good food and service but the creme brûlée is tiny

If you want to experience a Bistrot style meal, then please do come in. This place has made me miss home in many ways. The service was excellent, the food was excellent and the venue is really cute. Take it from a French person! Highly recommended

Food was amazing. The steak was beautiful! Highly recommend the escargot. Our server was lovely too! So glad we decided to try it!

Cozy and yummy French fare. Went without a reservation and got seated. Menu had all the classic French dishes, from mussels to cassoulet to beef bourguignon. Service was sparse but not inattentive. Prices were very reasonable.

I decided to visit Le Garrick to celebrate my fiancée birthday. We spent an amazing dinner!!! The staff was great, they gave as a very good table with candles and they came to sing happy birthday to her 😁 the food was traditional French and superb (snails very tasty), champagne very good and the price was fair. Highly recommend for a romantic date, Thank you.

My boyfriend & I came here after a West End show to have a relaxing romantic meal. It was absolutely lovely! We had the pate for start, which was very tasty (only point is we had a large basket of bread, but small portion of pate, so probably didn’t need as much bread!) I had the confit Duck with spinach for my main, which was so delicious. The mash was the silkiest ever. My boyfriend had the Beef Bourguignon which he really enjoyed immensely. Aside from the food, the service is outstanding. Our waitress was attentive without feeling pushy. The atmosphere feels very laid back, romantic, warm and buzzy but considering its location and it being full, we never felt rushed at any point. Stayed for coffees & aperitifs and had a thoroughly wonderful evening!

Took a chance and were lucky enough to get a table. Great place. Staff brilliant food amazing. Definitely recommend

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you to the team for making us feel so welcome, with brilliant service and fabulous food. Will definitely return soon!

Le Garrick is like having your favourite local French bistro in Montmartre transported to Covent Garden in London. If you haven't discovered this gem of a place yet then I would strongly encourage you to do so very soon. Enjoy!

This venue is not for the claustrophobic. Beneath ground the guests are literally crammed into every nook and cranny.

Amazing service, lovely ambience and great food. Spent my mother's birthday here and staff have made it so memorable. ADI was incredibly accomodating and the rest of the staff were so kind. Definitely coming back again for the people and the food being well seasoned and great even for first timers trying French food.

Great food, perfect atmosphere to take the friends and family, service was amazing - thanks to ADI and team 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Every time we visit London from Ireland, we visit this restaurant, and it has never disappointed. It offers wonderful French fare in a lovely warm atmosphere and at competitive prices. This evening our waitress was Angel and she was absolutely wonderful! So friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. Can't wait to return again later in the year!

I'm not a big fan of French cuisine, but the food here was excellent. The pâté and beef bourguignon were absolutely delicious. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal choices. The atmosphere was lovely.

We have been so many times and always had a warm, friendly and professional welcome. Food and service is faultless.

Great experience, I was going to France the next day and this was an amazing warm up. The cassoulet and beef bourginon was so good and you could tell had been lovingly prepared. Great dessert and we also thought there was a splendid wine selection.

Very good, great service! I recommend the beef bourguignon which is excellent!

Popped in for lunch after a day in town with the wife. No reservation but they squeezed us in. Fantastic food and fantastic service from the young girl. Will definitely remember and visit again.

Delicious food and great service, and we were quite a rowdy bunch. Thank you!

Excellent service, very accommodating and lovely food

Great food and great service! Everyone is was so friendly.

Best French restaurant in London!

Always get a great greeting even after not going for a year, the food is great (the snails are the best in London) the wine is great, what better place to go in London!!!

We had an amazing experience dining here! Opting to be seated downstairs turned out to be a great choice—the rooms are small but thoughtfully arranged, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the evening even more enjoyable. We began our meal with a delightful olive appetizer, perfectly seasoned and bursting with flavor. For mains, we tried the Beef Bourguignon and the Salmon, and both dishes were absolutely outstanding. The Beef Bourguignon was rich and hearty, with tender beef in a deeply flavorful sauce, while the Salmon was cooked to perfection. This restaurant truly exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an intimate and memorable dining experience.

We had a thoroughly lovely family dinner last evening. Service was impeccable (especially Dimitri, who was fantastic), and effortlessly efficient. Food - delicious. Great menu (something for everyone), well presented and well cooked dishes. One steak may have been a little overdone, but other dishes were absolutely on target. Well priced wine list - we had a lovely Rhone Syrah. Nice touch at the end with the Poire William digestif. All in all, a memorable evening.

I don’t leave reviews a lot but feel inclined to on this occasion, not only did we (8 of us) have a fantastic meal but the service was brilliant. Additionaly, I dropped one of my earphones when visiting, only apparent to me when I opened my earphones case hours later. I contacted Le Garrick and they tracked down the lost earphone. Saving me an expensive replacement cost! Thank you to Madhan and the team.

A wonderful little restaurant in the centre of London with fantastic food without the extortionate prices Staff were lovely and attentive Food was delicious, particularly the Moules and the Duck

A lovely meal and catch-up with my Mum, brother and nephews. Mum and I had to get a coach so thank you for serving us swiftly. Another delicious meal from Le Garrick. Hope to visit again soon.

One of my favourite French restaurants in London. Authentic and affordable. Great wine & drinks selection. Cosy and a good date spot. Amazing central location. We’ve always managed to get a table just through walk-in.

Perfect lemon tart！ The combination of foie gras and rig jam is so smart. And The mussels and duck confit were also very good. A French meal worth experiencing

Lovely cozy restaurant. I really enjoyed the steak!

I love Le Garrick- it is among my favourite places

While I had visited several times on past layovers, this most recent dining experience was outstanding! I was celebrating my 62nd birthday with 2 dear friends. And even though we hadn't reserved, we were quickly accommodated and warmly welcomed. Charles and the beautiful French waitstaff spoliled us and took wonderful care of us! I've lived in France 6 times in my youth and was elated to converse en français. As an international flight attendant of 35 years, I will plan to dine here as often as possible. The real deal for true French traditional dishes. The duck Confit was superb 👌. Merci infiniment Charles mon pote et à toute la belle équipe! Je suis super reconnaissant. Vous m'azez complètement gâté! 🤗😘🙏🥂 À très bientôt Philippe Olmes Stew chez American Airlines ✈️

Sadly not great. The place is very small and is overfilled with too many tables, making the place difficult to navigate, too loud and no privacy. Food was pretty good French classics, so no problem there. Service was poor, plenty of waiting staff, but difficult to get hold of. We had to remind them of missing items, and still not everything turned up. A shame.

Very enjoyable evening as always. A la carte and Christmas menus both good value. Decent wines at reasonable price. Great service

Lovely restaurant, with a great atmosphere. Excellent team spirit, a lot of fun. And the food is delicious. 😘

Nice French restaurant but the service was completely off. We ordered the theatre menu before going to the theatre. We were lucky to have made it in time. Stressful dinner.

Excellent country French food in an antique location.

Never disappoints. Regular visitor - part of the truly extraordinary family.

We had a lovely time here. Everything was excellent. Would definitely visit again when in London

Great little spot with true French cuisine and nice to get a break from the typical London fare. Downstairs is a bit tight but not uncomfortable and the food makes up for it by far. Would eat there anytime it was suggested in the future.

We stopped for onion soup, we were delighted by everything that followed, mussels marinières, charcuterie, black pudding, salmon...desserts everything was excellent as well and even better than many restaurants in France. From the front door the welcome is great, the service is very professional and warm, the servers are attentive, with a touch of humor and a smile!! Many thanks to Mathieu who learned a few words of French this evening and the "young blonde waitress" who took care of us in English and French Thanks also to the boss for raising the table 😉 Great establishment well done to you, highly recommended!!

Ladies that lunch, upstairs on Beaujolais nouveau day were treated to classic french menu and the usual attentive and friendly service from the team. A regular choice of ours.

Used to be a fave spot. But service is terrible now, and food quality has declined a lot. Sad to say, we won’t be back.

Wonderful atmosphere, friendly excellent service great Bistro food.

Wonderful lunch again on Beaujolais day. A fabulous spot with the friendliest of staff. Just perfect every time.

Wonderful food - simply delicious. I had the confit of duck, while my partner had French onion soup followed by boeuf Bourguignon. The atmosphere was intimate and I loved the fresh pink roses on every table. The desserts were also outstanding - I had Tarte Au Citron while my partner had the mini selection of mignon desserts

Thank you for letting me charging my phone guys and for a lovely tea, you are quick and hardworking people, thank you. Have a good day!

It's a favourite place with friendly staff and an individual, intimate atmosphere. The perfect place to enjoy authentic French cooking.

Fantastic waiter high service and good food😊😊😊😊😊

The food at Le Garrick was excellent and the staff were great with choices of wine to go with the meal. It was a lovely evening and there will definitely be a return visit. It is highly recommended.

Beautiful restaurant, great food, service and pricing. Will absolutely be back x Thank you for accommodating such a large group on such short notice!

Warm welcome, good quality dishes

Le Garrick is a charming restaurant which (unlike so much of the West End) serves delicious classic French fare late into the evening. A great young team made for a lovely supper after the theatre.

You would never know once you enter that you’re located in the hustle and bustle of theatre land near Leicester Sq tube. Old school French restaurant with lovely service and great food. The calamari in a garlicky sauce is a must, lots of bread to dunk 👌 nice charcuterie and rib eye steak with fries was very moreish. Very good peppercorn sauce . A lovely place for a date night

Manager needs to get fired the way she treats her staff is right .

Lovely relaxed pre-theatre with great steaks and nice wine. Service was friendly and quick. Thanks

The mussels were delicious, my guests enjoyed the snails so much that they ordered another round and the cheesecake was wonderfully creamy. I was a bit disappointed by the foie gras, but other than that, delicious. Vibes were nice and chilled and my guests had fun which was the most important for me.

The expression ‘Hidden Gem’ gets used quite frequently and usually never lives up to the expectation. In this instance it’s fully deserved. I had no preconceptions of the place as I was only mildly interested in a place to grab a light lunch when I walked past it as I have done countless times before. Without reading a single review I booked and within 10 minutes I was sitting downstairs in a wonderful environment that is as fun as the happy and attentive staff that welcomed me. I chose the Le Menu option - 2 courses for £17.75 - and went with the Pate followed by the Steak & Frites. I asked for a suggestion for a glass of wine and was recommended a Gammy which I took as a medium. It’s not flashy, it’s not mucked about with, it’s not made to sound like something it’s not. It’s good, honest French food done very well indeed. The steak was cooked perfectly and came with an optional peppercorn sauce (95p extra, the only thing I get grumpy about is paying extra for a sauce like this when ketchup or mayonnaise is free) The fries were typical French Fries, not thrice cooked by Virgins and dipped in Holy Oil, but just French Fries. The Pate was just right and served with small portions of President French butter, which was a nice touch. The service was excellent, the decor perfect and I have vowed to return with friends, as a night in there would be exceptional fun and good value. It’s a hidden gem and I really don’t want you to find it, I want to keep it to myself.

Locate that just around the corner from Leicester Square and Leicester Square tube station this French restaurant at the corner of Garrick Street. On entrance, the menu is displayed on a blackboard. There are some seating upstairs with tables, but we walked downstairs in the seller which I must say is dark crammed and somewhat musky. We had a table for 11 which was flushed against the wall which made it very difficult for guest to get into the seats as the end seating was a bench similar to a church bench and there was a wall which had to walk around to get to the opposite side of the table , via some other diners in a different room. The foie gras was actually below par, the brioche over toasted and dry. The garlic flavoured olives was over powered by the garlic and hazardous to one’s breath! The scallops which came as a three were small scallops and had an Asiatic sauce to it with lemongrass rather than the classical French but tasted good and above average. The cassoulet de Toulouse : the beans with pieces pork and sausage with grilled duck leg was good. The beans was flavoured with the pork pieces which was rich and fat based. The lemon tart was average, too tart and the crème brûlée was above average as nice creamy and the sugar layer not too thick. Wine selection was good some above-average wines but a lot of it was over prized for what it was and poorly rated. Service was average, at times the table was over filled with glasses as we had water glass, champagne before the food and white and red wine. The speed to turnaround of the glasses and removal was slow. The general ambiance was not great crammed crowded noisy musky dark. Toilets was absolutely filthy!

Excellent food, lovely atmosphere, full of character and very french.

Lovely evening with good food and very friendly staff.

Brilliant place Can't recommend it enough

We stopped in for dessert and drink and it was amazing- then, as we were leaving, the owner stopped us and asked how it was. We told him - he was overjoyed and shared a small after dinner drink with us. We will definitely be stopping in for more!

Come on, two courses for £17.75 you can’t go wrong. Great vibe good food and friendly helpful staff.

Good for a pre theatre supper but cuisine not outstanding, service a bit slow but a good atmosphere.

What a cute place to eat, love the ambience. Food was amazing and service was great, we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and so glad we booked it

All three of us enjoyed this experience and particularly the staff :-) Excellent service, many thanks John

We had the a la crate menu after a day in London , Very atmospheric and good food , excellent service from Naomi who looked after us

We had a fabulous meal. Loved the food,service and atmosphere. Value for money was excellent. Would highly recommend.
