Chez Gerard - Bishopsgate
About Chez Gerard - Bishopsgate
We love London, don't get us wrong. But sometimes, just sometimes, we can't help but crave a little bit of France. Which is where Bishopsgate's Chez Gerard comes in. Restaurants just don't come any more Parisian than this 1930s inspired brasserie where the décor is light, bright, simple and stylish. And what speaks of France more than mouthwateringly perfect food - succulent steaks accompanied by piping hot 'frites', fresh and summery Nicoise salads, and, oh how could we forget? Delicate tarte tatin served with just melting crème fraiche. And let's not forget the wine... over sixty specialities. Well, what's a French meal without it?
