    We did the Steak and Side for £19.50 menu on NY day. Waiter was attentive and everything was timely. Food was delicious, very nice steak, beautiful taste and cooked perfectly. Lovely selection of sides. Wine was expensive as expected .. Pudding was nice but steak and chips were definitely worth the visit. Have already recommended.

    From the first sip of the house cocktail to the last bite of crème brûlée, our experience at La Garrigue was fantastic. I’d highly recommend the Roquefort soufflé and the caq au vin. The owner was friendly and helpful in recommending wines to complement our dishes. We look forward to coming back again soon!

    A beautiful festive treat. We felt like we’d walked into a Parisian bistro somewhere off Place de la Republic. All the food was awesome (my bourguignon with buttery mash was delicious) and the drinks (rum old fashioned, bottle of Corbiere) were perfect. Add in an attentive service, great ambience and a wedding party, wandering through to rapturous applause, and we had everything to make this a highly memorable and enjoyable lunchtime. Highly recommended. Magnifique!
