It is great to have an affordable French restaurant in central London. I have been to this place quite a few times and always enjoyed the food. Staff are very nice people. A quick search on Chez Gerard restaurants tells me that it is one of the 11 branches of the group and this particular branch alone generates GBP 5million annually, not bad, eh? :=) Also it is quite amazing that they have around 6o staff in this restaurant serving to 250 covers. Respect! I've always admired hospitality businesses.This time we went there for a friend's birthday on a pleasant weekday afternoon. This is my favourite Chez Gerard branch as it has a roof top balcony overseeing Covent Garden.
As students we like smart deals such as their "prix fixe" where you can choose either a starter-main or main-dessert. The picture is goat cheese starter dish. As a main, I usually prefer steak-frites. They know how to cook proper medium rump steak. Although I'm quite interested in the vegetarian movement I cannot help when it is good red meat. I could maybe give up on chicken but not steaks, well sea food is hard too:)
Although our waitress recommended tart au citron (lemon tart) as a dessert saying it's quite popular, unfortunately we don't agree with her. Next time, I'll go for somethnig chocolatey, you can't go wrong with that!
