Lussmanns - Hertford

Selected Restaurant

Lussmanns, and its sibling in St Albans, are restaurants with a difference, in that they really do try to reflect the seasons, as well as source local ingredients. The point I make is that there are plenty of people who lay claim to this fashionable aim, but on closer examination fall further short than they might wish the customer to know.

This distinguished pub in the delightful village of Bengeo specialises in genuinely good, straightforward food, with no pretensions. Completely refurbished with great taste and skill, it has lost none of its character in the process, from the quietly understated décor to the plan sensible furniture within.

ASK - Hertford

For some time I made the mistake of thinking that no group of restaurants in the region of 200 locations could hope to maintain the quality for which I was looking. Then one day I decided to put my prejudices to the test, walked into Oxford Ask! and discovered that I could not have been more mistaken.

Cafe Rouge - Hertford

Café Rouge has around one hundred branches throughout Britain all offering a wide range of dishes drawn from the French cuisine. Slightly less than half their branches are in or close to London. Almost inevitably the décor and design of each restaurant differs from the others, but there is a general curtsy towards La France.
