Quick info
About Lussmanns Brasserie
Lussmanns Brasserie sits at 14-16 in St Albans, next to the Cathedral, with a glass roof and views over the gardens. The dining room holds a piano, and a mezzanine area can be booked for groups. The menu of 18 dishes draws on British producers, with steak frites, sea bass and mackerel alongside starters like arugula. Poached pear and a sweet and bitter orange brûlée round out the dessert options. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than reservations, and it opens Tuesday to Sunday, closing on Mondays. The toilet is located down two sets of stairs from the dining room.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers praise the light, airy room overlooking the gardens beside the Cathedral, and one describes a warm welcome for a wedding dinner in the Mezzanine. A birthday lunch of beef and lamb roasts was called good, though the portions seemed small. The same reviewer says only the assigned waiter helps, and nearby staff turned away when asked for extra sauce.

“We came to Lussmans for our wedding dinner celebration. We had about 20 people and booked the Mezzanine. The moment we walked in we were greeted warmly and all our requested had been accounted for. There was air-conditioning in the room …”

“We went out for a birthday lunch, had 3X beef roasts + 1 lamb roast, starter + desserts. The roast was good. Portion size is a bit small. Service was a bit poor as I noticed ONLY the waiter/ waitress who serve your table will look after you. I wanted some extra sauce and our waiter also served table across the room and the piano in between block his view to our table. When trying to get help from other waiters/ waitresses nearby, they just turn away and pretend they did not see you. Bad service overall in my opinion although the waiter who serve our table was ok but did not check on us. Toilet is 2 set of stairs down and if you have mobility issues, then it’s a problem.”
