Best Steak Frites in London


French style restaurant chain Chez Gerard offers the exciting rooftop location opposite The Royal Opera House in a beautiful Grade II listed building on the Covent Garden Piazza. This unique al fresco first floor balcony takes you to another world; even though in London you feel as though you are transported to an exotic French ambience.
I had the Steak Frites from the prix fixe menu and was not disappointed. I know there are reports of poor service (see the review sites) but after breaking past the initial French arrogance of our intense waiter, actually service was very good. I used my daring French (“merci Monsieur”) and ordered my steak rare. Maybe that was enough for our waiter to feel more kindly disposed to us
