Lussmanns - St Albans

Pulling together fresh, simple, quality ingredients to create unpretentious and accessible menus, Lussmanns restaurants achieve a unique balance in contemporary dining. Combining the convenience and consistency of a restaurant brand without compromising on creativity, Andrei Lussmann and his team present plenty of style with content to match. And, as members of the Sustainable Restaurant Association, they use sustainable fish, produce from British suppliers and the finest locally reared meats.

The two restaurants each have their own unique character, whilst providing consistently high levels of service and the same fabulous menus. The Hertford venue in the historic 'Egyptian house' has an exterior decorated with winged sun-discs, with an elegant interior ideal for intimate evenings. Meanwhile, the St Albans site boasts an idyllic location close to the beautiful cathedral, with alfresco seating and stylish decor; it's no wonder it was named 'Best Local Restaurant' at the St Albans Food & Drink Festival Awards.

Lussmanns restaurants offer a variety of quality menus, including the great-value seasonal set menu at just £10.95 for two courses. Sample handmade ravioli stuffed with creamy ricotta and earthy radicchio, followed by invigorating iced berries - luxury dishes at fantastic prices. The finest produce is showcased in seasonal specials such as South Coast devilled sprats, wild rabbit and apricot terrine and linguine with pea shoots, lemon zest and goat's cheese from nearby Wobbly Bottom Farm. Lussmanns also offer a 'Junior' menu, mobile catering and private-event hire at all their wonderful venues.

Owners Andrei Lussmann and Tim Hope culminate their 30 years' hospitality experience in these three quality and value-driven dining destinations. The food is simple, devoid of anything artificial and full of only the best ingredients. And the dining experience as a whole? Deliciously uncomplicated
