St Albans Restaurant Guide

Lussmanns - St Albans

Selected Restaurant

Lussmanns, and its sibling in Hertford, 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.
