Lussmanns - St. Albans

This is a real gem of a place hidden away in StAblans I have only been a couple of times, but it is by far the best restaurant in town.

It's exactly how restaurants should be, offering different dishes which you may or may not like. Definitely worth a visit. Not 5 stars as I think it could be more competitively priced.

Really loved this place. Super helpful and efficient staff, varied and creative menu. The fooc was really very good all cooked to order too Great value set menu. Non alcoholic drink options delish. Very good with a food allergy. Unusually they actually listened to the person with the allergy which I can tell you is unusual Definitely returning and recommending. Speisekarte ansehen

We were placed in the downstairs private room but it was awfully cold and despite many requests to shut the door or adjust the air con we were cold all night. The food, when it arrived on cold plates, was absolutely delicious but we had to stare at out mains for ages until the side dishes arrived. There were a few other service glitches which is such a shame at a nice restaurant serving great food.

Just happened to pass after our visit to the Cathedral we were lucky enough to get a table as this is, quite rightly, a popular place. The ambience is very pleasant with an open, airy feel with staff who are attentive and very welcoming. We enjoyed a smashing lunch the gazpacho being wonderful, followed by chicken Caesar Salad huge and very tasty. Their set lunch menu is such a bargain and the whole experience is to be recommended if visiting St Alban's.

We visited Lussmanns as a large party of 11, there was a bit of a mix up with the pre ordering but Kelly was amazing she gave us some free sides and was so friendly and welcoming. The food was ok, mine (ham hock terrine and the chicken schnitzel were extremely salty). A few complaints on other food orders too (inedible mustard starter etc) but those issues were mainly rectified. The restaurant is lovely and all the staff were great.

Wow! I went with my daughter and husband to this restaurant with no preconceived ideas on our part. The ham terrine and beetroot salad starters were excellent. It was the best steak I've had since leaving the meat suppliers business 30 years ago. The girls had Dover sole, which was superb. The service staff was attentive and highly pleasant, and the manager seemed genuinely interested in our experience. I haven't posted a review yet, but this experience made me want to. First class all around, and reasonably priced as well.

Came here for Sunday lunch expecting better. The oil served with the sourdough tasted of nothing; I have no idea what it was and thankfully I have never tasted oil like it before. The greek salad was very underwhelming and expensive at £16.50, especially as the portion was very small. The Chicken Caesar salad was made with free-range chicken and was good. The 'Eton Mess ' consisted of a bowl of cream, swirled with a red sauce, with a few pieces of strawberry and meringue incorporated. Essentially, you were eating cream. Very disappointing.

We absolutely adore Lussmanns! We have been there multiple times and what keeps us coming back is the amazing food, wide selection of drinks, and the attentive staff. I have even bought gift vouchers for special birthday presents in the past because I know the recipients will have a fantastic meal. Today we arrived a bit early and they took care of us, especially since we were celebrating our 17-year-old son's birthday. The Friday 'fish and chips' are top-notch! The Devon Crab starter was unforgettable, as was the Orange brûlée. It's a perfect spot for couples, families, or groups of friends. We usually go to the Lussmanns in St Albans since it's the closest to us, but we are excited to try... Speisekarte ansehen
