Brasserie Gerard - Loughton

You might be in the pleasant town of Loughton, just outside of the capital, but step foot inside Brasserie Gerard and you could be in any little brasserie in Paris. Inspired by those atypical views of the French capital in the between-wars years, branches of Gerard are always chic, buzzy and tres, tres French. Bright and airy, with large windows overlooking the street, Loughton's Brasserie Gerard is always full of young professionals relaxing after a hard day in the office or young mummies sipping coffee and gossiping. Serving good, hearty grills plus lighter salads, French country style tarts and even tagines, the menu is truly eclectic, appealing to Francophiles and foodies alike.
