A Taste of … France F rance is renowned, globally, for many reasons: from history and architecture, through arts, literature, music, fashions and so much more, there is something to interest all. French wines need little introduction and the cuisine of France is now available around the world. Le Garrick Restaurant is recognised as an ‘institution’. Very popular with theatrical actors and actresses, Le Garrick offers all-day dining, in a venue that has a wealth of history. This ‘little piece of France’, in the West End of London, is known for its excellent, regional French food, service and atmosphere. Having a ground floor, with window tables, plus a downstairs restaurant area, with intimate candlelight alcoves, Le Garrick offers character, exceptional dining and splendid cuisine. Being in close proximity to many theatres, pre and post-theatre dining is very popular. The menu is unquestionably French. Les Entrées has selections The Link that include Scallops and an Assiette de Charcuterie, for example. Boeuf Bourguignon (slow-cooked beef marinated in red wine and served with new potatoes, vegetables and lardons) is extremely popular for a main course – compliments to chef! Other mains have ‘devotees’ for their succulent Honey-glazed Duck and Fish dishes. Tender Steaks have ‘followers’, too and are served with a choice of sauces, plus French fries. The team of chefs ensure all cuisine is cooked and presented to perfection. The complementing flavours of the dishes are outstanding and impress, constantly. Desserts have something for all tastes, and Tarte au Citron or a Chocolate creation will certainly not disappoint. Champagne, plus high-quality wines and drinks, that are elegant, light, rich and powerful, have something for all palates. Having a number of theatres within easy distance, this is most certainly a restaurant to consider prior to or after a theatre visit. It is also a destination venue when in the area, as well as one to return to. All dietary requirements can be catered for and gift vouchers are also available. Le Garrick has regular clientele – always a good sign – and booking is advisable, particularly during popular times.
