  “Had a great supper with friends last night. Able to enjoy the outdoor space, accompanied by the wonderful sweet scent of the jasmine hedge. We all went from the beer and burger specials menu, and it was sufficiently delicious I didn't stop to get a photo! I can share the dessert though, a knickerbocker glory, perfect for a warm summer evening.”

  “50th birthday lunch, food pre-ordered, we were allowed to do a little decoration and bring our own cake. Food was mostly lovely. Mash was a bit salty, but replaced without quibble. Wires were crossed on some of the order, but again rectified without fuss. Staff were fabulous and friendly. We had a great time.”

  “In an era where sustainability is often claimed but not always convincingly delivered, Lussmanns Brasserie stands apart with quiet confidence. Renowned for its commitment to responsibly sourced seafood, the restaurant manages to balance ethical dining with genuine culinary pleasure never allowing principle to overshadow flavour. The meal opened with a blue cheese salad layered with toasted hazelnuts and crisp endive an elegant composition that struck a delicate balance between richness and bitterness. Alongside it, the crispy sprats arrived feather-light, their golden shells giving way to tender fish within, elevated by a sharp, house-made tartare that cut through with precision. The Cornish sole formed the centrepiece of the lunch: expertly cooked and finished with a vivid jalapeño and caper butter that lent both brightness and depth. Served with impeccably crisp fries and indulgent mashed potato, it was a dish that felt both indulgent and assured. A thoughtfully prepared fish cake, paired with a silken beurre blanc, offered a more comforting counterpoint refined yet quietly satisfying. Eschewing alcohol, the botanical tonics proved a considered choice rather than a compromise complex, refreshing, and entirely in keeping with the restaurant’s ethos. Lussmanns continues to demonstrate that sustainability and sophistication are not mutually exclusive, but rather, when executed well, entirely inseparable. A compelling reason to return.”

  “Incredible dining experience. A special thank you to Kamil for his warm, friendly and attentive service. We felt really looked after throughout the evening. Our food was tasty and cooked to perfection, with beautiful presentation. Absolutely loved the restaurant itself, a very cosy and intimate atmosphere, with a real welcoming and homely vibe. We’re not from the area, we travelled from Canterbury, Kent, and wanted to find a good restaurant before our onward journey. Lussmanns truly exceeded our expectations. Would absolutely recommend, thank you!”

  “Great place that you can always rely on for a fabulous menu, great service and delicious food. We made a relatively last minute online booking and were seated two hours later! Lovely evening with well cooked food; complements to the chef!”

  “Visited yesterday (Sunday) for lunch. The ambience inside was vibrant, and the food was unquestionably delicious and very impressive, in particular the Caesar salad was the best I’ve had, and the pineapple carpaccio dessert was lovely. Our server was well below par however. She was attentive enough once we had her attention, but that was difficult to gain. She was far too quick to ‘drop off’ our food and then move on to her next task, which made it difficult for us to ask for more drinks and items. Her colleague, a young gentleman server was very attentive and made good eye contact however, and helped us with our needs. The garden terrace area would benefit from better upkeep. Overall the food and drink were absolutely fantastic, and great value, but room for improvement regarding the experience.”
