Le Garrick Brasserie Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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!

Lovely evening with good food and very friendly staff.

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

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.

Friendly, cosy , welcoming and efficient service The food was tasty and just what was needed for a pre theatre meal - atmosphere was happy, warm and lively just right for the occasion

We had a fabulous meal here. The service was superb. We loved everything about it. Great food and excellent value for money. Would highly recommend.

If you are looking for authentic French food, you should visit this place! A special thank you to Naomie for her amazing customer service❤️

Great atmospheric restaurant with great traditional French food. Prices reasonable for area

Hadn’t come across Le Garrick before but it looked good from the street. The main restaurant is downstairs and is a warren of small spaces. Great atmosphere and buzzing with diners’ conversations. Staff are excellent and the small menu has something for tastes but it’s very much French peasant style. Prices are very reasonable considering its location. I can’t wait to go back.

Always a pleasure. Truly wonderful restaurant. Magnifique.

As pleasant a visit as ever (and I have been going here for decades!). The food always reliable, great wine list, always buzzy (and quite loud to be fair but it doesn’t hamper conversation). The service was as efficient as ever despite it being busy on a Friday night. Keep up the good work!

Our favourite restaurant in Covent Garden

Exquisite dishes and impeccable service.

Always lovely. The goats cheese salad is fantastic and I really appreciate that the French onion soup is made with veggie stock so it is vegetarian. Last night enjoying dinner with a friend, someone from the street outside stole my friend's bag through the front door and the chef and a waiter/manager chased him down and actually managed to return my friend's bag. What a couple of legends! If I didn't already love the place, I would now!

Pleasant French restaurant in this friendly London neighborhood. Top notch server. Very well cooked dishes. Some good wines and bread!!! What happiness 👍😉🤪

A really lovely meal with my family. Great food, great service - what more could you want?!!

Cute restaurant. Lovely waiting staff. Food was good. One criticism, I like to choose my own service charge and I don’t think it should be added on for two diners. I get parties of 6 or me. But i would recommend this restaurant and I will be back.

A lovely small friendly French restaurant with good food. A good find for pre-show dinner.

Great dinner at a cute French bistro near the theater district. Pleasant and efficient service and very good French fare.

The food is always great but I didn't like the seating I was told to sit. It was quite close together with the next table at the entrance level. Pity I can not reserve the seat I want.

Outstanding service for a pre theatre dinner . We had not booked but they fitted us in to a very full restaurant and served our food quickly . Great tasty dinner and lovely welcoming staff .

Lovely food. Professionally and charmingly served in an atmosphere of relaxing calm.

My wife and I came up by train for the day from Medway in North Kent specifically to spend Saturday 25th August in the company of four ICELANDIC friends who had flown in for about a week -chiefly to attend an all day arts & humanitarian event at the nearby St Giles In The Fields. Their ages range from 13 - 71 and it was their eldest member who organised their vist and urged us to join them and we are so glad that they did. One of them found your restaurant and made a reservation for the six of us. We all enjoyed every apect of our stay and recommend the tasty food and the service. Every was

Too expensive for what they offer. After my Lunch I found after the corner beautiful places with better precing.

The main course and wine were great and it was a great experience until we tried the desserts. The café gourmand was very disappointing.

Food is REALLY REALLY REALLY GooD!!! Introduced by my friend to try it out. LOVE IT!!! Was so impressed !!! Tried their escargot, foie gras and Salmon with champagne. So So So good!!!

We had some delicious onion soup as a starter and then some great confit de canard and salmon with ratatouille 😋

A great date night! Had some great confit de canard & ratatouille on our trip to London!

Cosy, intimate, DELICIOUS food. Adore Le Garrick!

Excellent rustic french dining. Highly recommend

The best Franch food top quality

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sadder onion soup ☹️ . The onion soup was dialled in, the ‘cassoulet’ was some beans with a sausage on top. It came with a small bit of confit duck, which was delicious. Just a bit of a shame for a French restaurant

The Bourgignon was, as ever, of an excellent standard - it's wonderful that it's never quite the same twice as it is not mass-produced. The meat was so tender. There has been some refurbishment recently it's been done with great sensitivity so nothing of the character of the place has been lost - as romantic and French as iot ever was! Staff are fantastic!

Great atmosphere, food and service. We have had several pre theatre meals here and always fabulous.

Typical French restaurant, wonderful experience in central London! French certified!

The service was terrible, the restaurant was hot and loud and the food was below average.

This is a very comfortable and cozy restaurant that serves delicious authentic French food. Menu variety being a bit scarce would be my only bother. Good place to stop by when you explore London.

Very good food at a reasonable price, nice atmosphere with attentive staff.

Great first time visit for me. Lovely service very welcoming fun and efficient pre theatre service. Great value fixed price menu and lovely food. Totally recommend the cafe gourmandise!

Excellent small restaurant. Quite authentic French cuisine. Highly recommended!

Best meal we have ever had here. Food was delicious although we waited 40 minutes for our main after the starter had been cleared. The waitress did notice and advised us it was on its way. Lovely chat with the waitress when we were paying the bill - really enjouable

Great service and lovely food. The staff were very busy but still very attentive. The pre-theatre menu is great value. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m at the theatre in London.

Food, atmosphere, and service was brilliant.

Hi when here for are 30th wedding anniversary had a lovely time the food was great and the staff were lovely

Beautiful restaurant with a rustic charm. I had the Confit de canard et pomme purée and it was exceptionally tasty and the meat just melted in your mouth! Starter was the most perfect roasted asparagus at Le Garrick. Tender texture with bite and a lovely sweetness to the asparagus. What really impressed me was the Café Gourmand dessert which included a choice of coffee or tea and a selection of Crème brulée, Tarte au citron, Petit pot au chocolat amongst other delicious desserts. It was really good value for the amount you get. Service was fantastic and our waiter was friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend Le Garrick.

Rice and Prawn was delicious but very few actual prawns(4)

Excellent steak, creme brûlée and wine! Relaxed and friendly service, nothing a problem. Thanks for my birthday liqueur too.

I visit le Garrick every time I’m in town, it’s by far my favourite restaurant for ambience and food. My steak frites wasn’t quite as good as it usually is, but the escargot is better than anywhere else, even in France. Scallops delicious too.

Perfect service, beautiful food and atmosphere. Staff even sang happy birthday to my 13 year old

Really great French spot I London. The upstairs space is quite small, but there is a terrace and downstairs seating as well. Service was great and in French, which was a bonus! The food was good and flavourful and there were typical French dishes that you would find in the home-country, no fusions, which was nice.

Great food traditional Parisian bistro atmosphere. Great downstairs bar as well.

Not easy to please those never satisfied French people but after a second experience at Le Garrick we still assume that this is the very place to go when you have the ‘mal du pays’. Great wine, great food and what happens to be kind of a surprise in London today… Great service. Special thanks to Carla for the joyful and lovely talk.

Visited for my son's birthday on Saturday evening. We've been to Le Garrick a few times and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The service is great and the food is delicious and very decently priced. A little gem in the centre of London.

Great atmosphere , buzzing no need to whisper. Food was excellent . Service was top notch very attentive.

Friends efficient and attentive service. Great food and a lovely setting

Nice place with a good choice of food and drink. We were sat downstairs which is quite dark but also atmospheric and intimate. There was a good choice of both food and drink. My daughter and I always choose goats cheese salad if it is available and the goats cheese salad here was superior to those we have had in Paris 😊 The only downside was that we ordered bread and olives as a starter but these never arrived and no explanation was given - we were just told at the end that they had been taken off the bill 😂

Went back here for the first time in ages since leaving London. It was just like going home! Comfortable, fabulous people working there and great food at a reasonable price. Wouldn’t eat anywhere else - just wish they would move to Oxford!

Excellent young lady looked after us for our pre theatre dinner in atmospheric bijou alcove. French cider, grainy pate and small but perfectly formed steak with pomme frites set us up for operation mincemeat (which was a triumph) (As was the original deception plan) Would go again to Garrick ,mincemeat and London whether with first wife or not . Lemon tart lovely and lemoney.

Just brilliant, exactly as it should be.

Fun tavern like French restaurant. The rube eye was quite good, and I paired it a glass of wine.

Love the design of the basement, quirky; friendly staff and very polite, could be a bit of attentive but happy in general, definitely recommended!!

Pre theatre menu, great value and really tasty

Stellar service, good food, it's worth the trip and warrants a repeat❤️

The best onion soup ever! Nice smiling people and very friendly place for a great dinner! Go there!

Good service and good food. Pleasant space, small and intimate

Great food and great service! Highly recommended!

Very nice place. Tasty food. The staff was very friendly . Atmosphere is Great!!!

Came after one theatre matinee but before evening show for à la carte menu. Seated downstairs down metal circular staircase so if u have mobility issues ask for seat on ground floor. It's small no intimate but you are close to other diners and can hear all their conversations esp when they are 2 loud Americans! Nice menu and I sampled the onion soup then moules et frites which were both good. Darren enjoyed his asparagus then sea bream with crushed potatoes. We shared a ½ carafe of rosé and bill was £92 including gratuity.

That is a lovely French cuisine little gem in Covent Garden. Small restaurant with cosy atmosphere (we nearly made friends with people at the table next to us as you can hear everything), great food (our main, desert and drinks were fab) and lovely staff. The menu has all the main French cuisine dishes in case you’re a fan like me, so it was a hard choice (means we have to come again). We came for a pre-theatre dinner and really enjoyed it. It’s over to you now.

Very tasty! I got the duck confit, which could have been cooked a bit better, but the sauce was so outrageously delicious that it really couldn't have mattered less what was inside it

Wonderful food, lovely staff. My very favourite cassoulet.

Traditional French restaurant and fantastic location.

Lovely place! Amazing food and atmosphere. Happy to get back everything. Prior theatre or for a date ;)

A very pleasant place with a cocooning atmosphere due to its architecture and its brightness. The food is excellent, traditional to the French. The welcome is warm, almost family-like. The servers are attentive to our needs and very helpful. I highly recommend to anyone who loves gastronomy! The Ardéchois.

Excellent! Loves this little gem. Will defo be returning.

Great place. Service fantastic. Pre and post theatre menu really tasty and good value. Lovely seating booths downstairs xx

Always come here, what a cute little place. Good service, great wine, great decor. This time had charcuterie, pate, rib eye, bourginonne and the goats cheese. Just delicious and well presented. Our waitress was so helpful, patient and really nice. Well done guys :) xx

Not our first visit to Le Garrick, the restaurant is tiny and tables close together, the team are mainly French and the service super efficient. The food is traditional french not mind blowing but good enough, the atmosphere makes up for it.

Service was excellent, friendly and attentive. Restaurant itself is great, right in the heart of central London but when you go downstairs it has a intimate atmosphere. I really enjoyed the food, I appreciate that in central London there are much more expensive restaurants which are more catered towards fine dining perhaps. However, this felt more like a traditional French bistro and my steak frites was excellent, and the cheesecake special was also fantastic. I also thought the price was reasonable for the area. For a three course meal for two with wine it came to just over a hundred pounds, which is very good these days for Westminster. I would definitely come again, and recommend it.

Delicious food, great staff, hidden gem

Nice place, nice meal, sympatic waiter. We got a pleasant moment here.

Very friendly basement atmosphere - Very pleasant and competent service - Very good French cuisine. To do !

A small group of us in a cozy booth got super service from the staff. Everyone was happy with the authentic French menu. Thank you.

Pre theatre dinner so in a rush and could have done with main course arriving quicker but staff very pleasant Food ok- not particularly amazing or unique but ok Restaurant / ambience in basement really nice
