We have been to Le Garrick several times over the last decade. Once for my birthday, where I learned that Cassoulet is based on beans, not my favourite category of food. Although it is not a fine-dining restaurant, the meals we had there, have always been solid, albeit a little rustic.

They also do a pre- and post-theatre menu, which is what brought us here this time. With a play in the early evening, a post-theatre menu is often good value, and usually speedily served.

We both opted for a main and dessert. My wife chose the Onglet steak with a Béarnaise sauce, and I had the Moules Frites. While waiting for our meals to arrive, we enjoyed a lovely glass of Cremant — we had something to celebrate.

The steak was juicy and served with a good amount of fries. My Moules were well-prepared in a rich and flavourful broth. The accompanying fries were excellent for dipping into this bowl of flavour.

We picked the same dessert, the Tarte au Citron (lemon tart). This came served with lovely dollop of cream.

Le Garrick was reliable as always, and after our meal we walked to our theatre. If you're in the neighbourhood for a similar reason, Le Garrick is a safe choice, with good food.
