Brasserie Gérard

I visited Brasserie Gérard with two friends on a Tuesday evening. There were few other customers in the restaurant, but only one waitress working, which meant that although her service was very good, it was a bit slow. The food however was beyond slow. We waited an inordinate amount of time for both main courses and dessert (we did not have starters), and the main courses were oddly only lukewarm when they did arrive. The food was a bit overpriced really, came in small portions, and was nothing special. I did enjoy my fish, but my friend who had a tagine was rather unimpressed. The desserts were a bit difficult to get wrong — Belgian waffle with ice cream, and a raspberry and chocolate tart, and were the best part of the meal.
I suppose as a vegetarian I am likely to never be that impressed in a French restaurant since the cuisine is very meat oriented, but neither of my friends particularly enjoyed their food either, and had we not had some money off vouchers, it would have been too expensive to bother going to in the first place (there are many other good and cheaper restaurants in Barnet!), so all in all, not a recommendation!
