Group Chez Gerard Restaurants

After my husband finished some really tough exams last week I booked a table for two at the St Johns Wood High Street branch and we were delighted with our meal. Our table was booked for 8pm and although there were a few large parties in (a down side to going out so close to Christmas) we thought the service was excellent and the steak and chips the best we've had for a while. The tables are quite close together so it did feel a bit crowded - not quite a quiet candle-lit dinner for two.

Having finally managed to place an order for 2 meat courses and a "tajine" we had to wait for over 40 minutes till we were finally served. The pleasant and polite waiter had insufficient knowledge of the menu and subsequently had to consult with the kitchen staff ... more

Probably Nine restaurants around London, mostly in and around the City though also including Victoria, Dover Street and an atrium above the Plaza in Covent Garden. There are also 'branches' at Gatwick and Heathrow Airports, and another lone branch in Cambridge. These café-bars and restaurants are French. Not French-ish or frenchified, but actually French. Tables are draped with white linen, napkins are linen and large and there is a battery of cutlery and glassware. Waiters (usually with authentic accents) are suitably attired, but thankfully most ... more
