Renowned for "the best steak frites this side of Paris" and serving award winning wines, this is a "carnivores" paradise also boasting fish and vegetarian dishes, par excellence.
Founded over 30 years ago, Chez Gérard has built its reputation on the 'best steak-frites this side of Paris'.
The first restaurant on Charlotte Street, in London's Fitzrovia, was a mecca for carnivores and evoked the old world charm of Paris. The menus were in French, the staff barely spoke English, there were few non-meat dishes and the wine offering was robust but somewhat limited. It was a truly French gastronomic experience.
Nowadays as well as offering a fantastic range of steaks, all farm assured and sourced from 24 individual farms across the West Country, new and unusual cuts have been introduced and the menu continues to evolve.
There is now also a wider range of dishes on offer and lighter fish and vegetarian dishes are a permanent and welcome addition.
The menu is still in French, bien sur, but with English descriptions, the wine list features a delicious range of New World wines as well as the perennial favourites, which complement a truly great steak so well!
In an area bustling with busy restaurants, the secret of Chez Gérards success is serving fine French influenced cuisine in a relaxed and attentive environment. This gives you time to soak up the 1930's Parisian brasserie style atmosphere and select from the superb wine list, with wines to tempt both the novice and connoisseur, at your leisure.
