Garlic's Of London

Food was great - perfectly cooked, lots of flavour, well portioned and nice presentation. Staff were friendly and attentive. The only thing to note, there is an up charge for the sparking water which was not disclosed to us. Maybe not a big deal to some however it was $10 which seems high. Other than that, our overall experience was pretty good.

We visited Garlic’s New Year’s Eve , this was such a pleasant start to our evening. Our waitress was so kind & knowledgeable , she was spot on with recommendations. Our food surpassed our expectations. The owner stopped by our table and introduced himself once our meal was done and to see if we were enjoying our evening. We will definitely be returning to try some other enticing items on the menu. Thank you for such a memorable time.

We were looking for a place last minute to go to before the Knights game. After being turned away from many restaurants we were offered a small table in the back at Garlics. The last one. I was hesitant to be honest but when we got to the table it was fine. I had always wanted to try Garlics and I wanted to make sure that our first experience would be a good one. All I can say is this: The Hype is real. The food was absolutely delicious. I could eat their Ceaser salad every day of the week. Give this place a try 100% We had the beef tenderloin. Cooked to perfection!

This was one of the most delicious meals I've ever eaten in a restaurant. There were four of us and we were all very happy with our main courses. (Salmon, Pork Tenderloin, Chicken and the spicy Pasta.) The best dessert was definitely the apple caramel cheese cake which was rich, delicious and decadent. Our waitress was lovely and attentive. A bonus was that despite being a popular restaurant, it wasn't noisy on a Thursday evening and we could easily enjoy our conversation.

Flavours are really good. The lamb, the truffle fettucini, and the roasted garlic bulb were all excellent. Pearl couscous and fettucini were cooked impeccably and the lamb seasoning was perfect. I would imagine all of their food is great. However, portions are a bit small and the service is quite slow. We sat down at 6:45 and our mains only came out at 7:40. It also annoys me somewhat that their default tipping options on their machine start at 18%. That said, I would still highly recommend, just budget the time necessary.

Garlic’s. The rumour is that this Italian restaurant sets the bar for fine dining in London. I have had many great dishes here, but today, I got a Londonlicious three course meal. After their complementary focaccia bread, my first course was their AAA Steak Tartare. It came with raw beef, a raw egg yolk, focaccia crisps, and some pickles. For my entrée, I ate the Duck Breast. It came with a blackberry sauce, pickled grapes, lentils, and a leek tumbleweed. This was okay. I enjoyed the other dishes more. Lastly, my dessert was the Brûlée Peached and Cream. It came with a custard filled crepe, diced peaches, and drizzled caramel. If you’re a tourist visiting London, Garlic’s must be one of your stops. It is a beloved restaurant by many that puts out excellent dishes in a fine dining setting. It’s so good that I’ve been a dozen times.
