REVIEWS OF Zizzi - Loughton

Jessica (11 November 2010)

Very impressed with Zizzis Loughton! It was very accommodating to a bunch of women and their babies! The staff are great, food is great especially the chocolate melt dessert, Oh my God! I will definitely make it the regular 'ladies and babies' lunch venue although they should invest in a baby changing station.

Anna (9 March 2008)

A fantastic place to eat - I have gone there many times and am planning on doing so again for my birthday - each time has been a pleasure!

George and Dragon, The
