Lussmanns Sustainable Kitchen High Street, St. Albans AL3 4EW

"I found the venue to be very aesthetically pleasing. It had a very modern yet warm surroundings and atmosphere. The food itself was particularly well presented and tasted very fresh. I would say elements of the dishes were slightly under seasoned for my palette; or missing a little something to accompany the meals to take them to another level. Nevertheless, a really great meal and no genuine complaints. Service on a weeknight evening was excellent and I found the staff to be attentive and knowledgeable. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant and see myself returning in the near future."

"Booked Lussmans for a Boxing Day lunch. As I require Gluten Free, I notified them before we arrived but there was no need. They handled it extremely well. Food was lovely, I’d have liked a bit more beetroot on the starter as it did get a bit lost but it was tasty. The lamb and the schnitzel were perfect. There’s a curtain across the door to stop the cold air when someone comes in and they make sure it’s always closed. Atmosphere was perfect. We’ll likely make this an annual Christmas visit"

"Excellent food and ambiance with good online allergen menu including gluten free and dairy free options. The mackerel starter was good, maybe not as succulent as I was expecting but a good accompanying pesto & tomato salad and well washed down with a fruity house white. I loved the vegan cauliflower fritters, quite substantial and perfect with the included market veg (fries would’ve been too much for me) though it would be great if this could be made to a gluten free recipe. The pork belly was excellent apparently though the aubergine & ricotta bake was too salty & cheesy for one diner who admittedly is hard to please! The poached pear had a toffee apple taste and went really well with the vegan ice cream. Service was excellent and we were able to move from a less comfortable seat a bit close to the air conditioning and door to a lovely table upstairs with comfy seats. We were too late for the fixed price menu, which looked good value, so paid around £40/head for 3 courses and wine (a service charge of 12.5% was added if I recall) though as a very thin silver lining you can get free parking on London Road (and apparently the car parks) after 6:30pm. Overall an enjoyable evening with high quality cuisine and service."

"We visited St Albans only for a day and booked Lussmanns for lunch on Saturday afternoon (yesterday). So glad we booked them! Great experience from start to finish. Staff was friendly and genuinely helpful and attentive despite the restaurant heaving (so pleased we booked!). Food was excellent so were all the drinks and cocktails , all very reasonably priced for the quality of food. We had a wonderful afternoon and very keen to try your other branches as well. Set menu is a great idea. Puddings were insanely good. One of those places that everything worked from start to finish. Sadly we were so focused on eating the delicious food and only managed to take one pic of one pudding! thank you"

"Lovely restaurant spread over different levels in a building next to the cathedral in St Albans approached through a small walkway. Parking in town can be difficult and pre booking your table is a good idea as the restaurant can be busy. The ambience is lovely. They have a good choice of vegetarian, vegan dishes, seafood, meats including steak and a great variety of desserts. We had fishcake, amazing baked aubergine and a mushroom stew, all excellent. The apple crumble and date and ginger pudding was delicious. The poached pear was average. Service was very friendly. There can be a wait between courses."
