Le Garrick Brasserie Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

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!

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) 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.

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

Best French restaurant in London!

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

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.

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

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 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.

I love Le Garrick- it is among my favourite places

Lovely cozy restaurant. I really enjoyed the steak!

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

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.

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 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

Wonderful atmosphere, friendly excellent service great Bistro food.

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

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!

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.

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❤️

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.

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

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 👍😉🤪

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

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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

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

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.
