Luc's Brasserie

This restaurant has long been a favourite of City types for lunch. It now also opens for dinner and that is what took us to the restaurant. Sadly it was certainly not very full for a Thursday evening, it deserves to do better.

Both food and service were very good. 2 of us had the fillet steak, complete with excellent frites. It was as good, if not better, than some of competition who tend to specialise more in this type of meal. As I recall from the past, my friend who had the sole remarked that it was prepared and cooked perfectly. The fourth member of our party opted for a casserole with assorted meat and game that would most certainly have represented a vegetarian's nightmare.

We opted for a bottle of the house red wine which was very drinkable and complemented the dishes well, even the fish.

A return visit is on the cards before too long.

Luc's seems to be improving again after a while in the doledrums; which the Zinc Bar is nothing to write home about, the food is now back to its French best, with excellent steaks easily a match for those offered by the likes of Chez Gerard. Waitresses seem to come from all points of the compass except France, but they are reasonably efficient and the Maitre D' keeps them in check. It feels as if there are a few too many tables for the available space, but it all adds to the lively but sophisticated atmosphere.
