Description: Located on Bridge Street in Cambridge, this delightful French brasserie is a relaxed place for business dining, family lunches and romantic t��te a t��tes. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Brasserie G��rard attracts a well-heeled local crowd who adore the fresh French salads and traditional dishes such as the quiche Lorraine. With its stellar service, moreish menu and cosmopolitan vibe, Brasserie G��rard is a firm fixture on Cambridge's dining scene, and we love classics such as the Croque Madame made with ham, Gruyere and a fried free-range egg; the Roquefort salad with gem lettuce, raisins and walnuts; and the demi-poulet roasted chicken with herbs and served with frites and a honey-mustard sauce.

Ok, nice building, nice sort of atmosphere but nothing really personal or caring in anything the staff did. All as if delivered just to script. A couple of idiots on next table professing about things which were very dated but sounded impressive. Hope your PhD's are more up to date guys!

This is part of a chain which tries to give a standard French experience. It's not bad but does not meet French standards of service (too slow!) or usually of quality (soggy chips with the steak). If it smartened up it could be good.

Food is fine, service is fine - nothing fancy. A bit overpriced for what you get. Don't order anything 'complicated' or you will be disappointed.

Like all chains, Chez Gerard started well and then went downhill.Now it's gone, unmourned, and is called something like wildwood.

We visited on a Saturday night in December with friends and were really underwelmed with the experience. For the cost our experience did not represent value for money in any way. The food was OK but the whole experience was spoilt by the terrible service. We can all accept that a Saturday night in December is never going to be... More

Having found many restaurants in Cambridge fully booked for Saturday night we should have been wary of getting a table here. Atmosphere very average and menu basic and frankly uninspiring. The main issue however is the service, we had to wait 50 minutes for our starter which was lukewarm calamari that had obviously been pre cooked and attempted to be... More

Pretty overpriced for some pretty dull food. The wine list was good, but again, a little too pricey. A place for show-offs, but not one for real foodies.
