Chez Jerome Restaurant in Central Bedfordshire

For me personally, the food wasn't as nice as I was lead to believe. But I am fussy and prefer certain meals. The service was fantastic and run by lovely people, so I would still recommend this well run restaurant.

We had a lovely evening celebrating our wedding anniversary. I was very touched by the effort the restaurant made to make the evening extra special. The food was superb. Could not fault it. The service and atmosphere were spot on. We look forward to another visit very soon. 😊😊

Food was over cooked and dry and tasteless I had fish and my friends had meat but everything was too overdone and dry and tasteless and not worth the money we paid I didn't enjoy the meal at all

Unfortunately was not their best night service poor. It was brother birthday and we were showed 2 tables we could choose other tables had happy birthday balloons on disappointing when they say they would do it.. Food was not much better chose al carte well putting cubes of swede and carrots and a parsnip not the kind of vegetables that people would chose 3 small potatoes 🥔 and stem broccoli not edible just stalks.. cream was squirt cream and prawn cocktail lettuce brown. Heard good reviews sadly we will not be returning.

We had a lovely evening. Food was delicious. Service was okay but could be better but didn’t spoil our evening. Manager is very visible and friendly but should pass on her skills to staff.

Visited here for a anniversary Sunday lunch and our table had been decorated and a balloon and banner arranged for us too as it was our 40th anniversary. Service was excellent as was the food. Prawn cocktail for starter for me beetroot and goats cheese salad for my wife. Chicken with sauté potatoes in port jus with vegetables from the set menu. There was an organist playing music, but this wasn’t intrusive. Altogether, a very enjoyable dining experience and would happily visit again.

This was our second vist and once again they hit the target right on the bullseye. There really is nothing to compare this restaurant to in the area. This time we opted for the three course set menu accompanied with a crisp Bordeaux white wine and it was fantastic. From the garlic flat mushrooms and chicken salad to the beef bourguignon followed up with Eton mess and creme brulee and a Drambuie coffee to finish, the meal was faultless. We look forward to our next visit. Thankyou for a memorable night

I had reserved a table for my girlfriend's birthday. When we arrived at the restaurant, a very nice surprise was waiting for us. Our table was decorated very nicely for the birthday. We had a delicious dinner in a very nice atmosphere. The music, food and wine were great. After dinner, another surprise was waiting for us. We all celebrated my girlfriend's birthday together with a birthday candle on a beautiful cheesecake. I would like to thanks the restaurant staff and the owner. I definitely recommend it.

It was our first visit as a family great food friendly service we will return soon.

1st time visit after a recommendation from a friend. We enjoyed a fantastic 3 course meal, calm environment, personable and attentive staff. Timings were to perfection and the whole service ran seamlessly. Well done team, we shall be back!

Great food pity about the service. Waiter tipped drinks annd smashed water carafe over us and we were expecting at least a round of free drinks as an apology but nothing was offered.

We had a wonderful evening celebrating a 60th Wedding Anniversary. The food was superb, plentiful and very reasonable. The service was excellent, with lovely, friendly staff who had decorated the table with balloons & banners and printed 60th Wedding Anniversary menu cards, which was a thoughtful touch. We would highly recommend this great restaurant.

This is a little gem of a place - it’s a step back in time ! Wonderful service and food cooked to perfection

Food here is always amazing - perfectly cooked, interesting flavours and beautifully presented. And Lina and the staff are all absolutely lovely. Great French food with warm Portuguese hospitality! It's the ideal place for anything from a special family meal to a midweek treat for two. Can't recommend it enough!!

Went to celebrate a family 50th anniversary, the food was excellent, and the service was very good , was a lovely evening, would recomend for a night out

Had a lovely evening, good quality and nicely presented food. Great service.

4 of us enjoyed a Iovely evening. The food was great, and the service was very good.

Excellent food and friendly service. We visited on a Saturday lunchtime and although we booked, the was plenty of space for drop-ins.

Edit April 2024: came back for my Dad's Birthday and the food, drinks and service are all still excellent. The Lamb Shank literally just fell off the bone (saving us the embarrassment of being tempted to pick it up!) and the Cheese & Biscuits were extremely generous in its proportions. The service was exactly as I remembered from previous visits: unobtrusive but somehow always there at exactly the right time. Would definitely recommend for any occasion and need to return again soon First time back since the pandemic and it was as good as I remembered. The food was served very promptly and as always delicious and perfectly cooked. We had a Vegetarian in our party and they happily adapted a couple of the starters to make a beautiful main. The staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive, not to mention very patient with our party of ladies that hadn't met up in person for a long time and had a lot to talk about! We could have stayed all night and they didn't even remind us of the time!! The Crepe Flambee is a must have experience that you probably won't find elsewhere. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back

Wonderful restaurant ideal for an enjoyable quality meal reasonably priced.

Nice food. Great service. Nicely presented food at good price. I'll be going again 😋 👍

Went for a valentines dinner and had a lovely time, we both could not believe we had not thought to go sooner, and as soon as we left said we would definitely be back again soon. The interior of the restaurant is very pretty, and was decorated very nicely for valentines. We had the 3 course set menu, which was reasonably priced and tasted lovely. The service was also fantastic, being very attentive. Would highly recommend a visit.

It's been a fair few years since we last visited Chez Jerome. It used to be one of our favourite haunts. Sadly, it should have remained a fond memory. The food was truly dreadful. The French onion soup was just tepid boiled onions, the snails were over cooked and chewy, and the mains consisted of a reheated lamb shank, poorly cooked fish and barely cooked vegetables. The restaurant used to be with filled with diners at candle-lit tables. It was warm, busy and welcoming. Now it's brightly lit and mostly empty. The staff were nice, though they failed to notice that we barely touched our food. We won't be going back.

We used to come around 1-2 times a year before Covid and suddenly remembered it. Sadly, it's nowhere near as good as it used to be. Vegetables hard and undercooked, snails overcooked and therefore super-chewy. Bland food that (apart from the fish) was clearly reheated. We suggest that they get in earlier and actually cook the food from fresh.

Always great to eat here. Warm and family friendly. A fantastic restaurant for Dunstable and well worth a visit. We always like to support Chez Jerome, another business hit hard by covid.

Excellent food as always. Crepes are the star of the show though, delicious ending to an excellent evening.

Lovely intimate hotel with even lovelier food. I had the festive set menu and each course was really good, especially the duck leg in orange sauce.

This was my very first visit to Chez Jerome, I visited with a friend and we were made very welcome. We sat at table no 1 in the window, which looked very Christmasy. We had a extensive menu to choose from. We both chose the festive 3 course menu. I had smoked kipper for starter, my friend chose melon and prawn cocktail. Both were absolutely delicious. We were also served fresh baked small baguette type slices So tasty we finished the lot off! For our mains I chose salmon with seasonal vegetables, my friend chose duck also with seasonal vegetables. The size of the meal was deceiving, there was plenty and we both struggled to get through it, again both were cooked to perfection. Dessert was an amaretto espresso coffee dessert followed by a lovely liquor coffee,I had TIA Maria and my friends had baileys. We also had a glass of water and I had a glass of rosé wine and my friend had a soft drink. The price of the whole meal was very reasonable for what we had. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. My experience here for the first time was really good, I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and we were made very welcomed. Thank you to the chef and owners of Chez Jerome and waitress for a great experience.

Visited Chez Jerome for a birthday celebration meal. The food, service and ambience were first class. I liked the fact that the food was served absolutely piping hot and on a plate or dish that again was very hot. The whole experience was excellent. I will be visiting again most definitely.

Average quality food and wine. Too expensive. Sloppy service. Nice ambiance.

Lovely meal, look forward to eating there again x

We met for a celebratory Family lunch and chose to eat from the seasonal menu. It was superb. We had 3 courses taking advantage of the range of dishes. All were beautifully presented with generous portions, flavoursome and hot. The latter is not always the case with a large group having different dishes. The service was attentive but not intrusive and the whole experience could not be faulted. All this at a very reasonable price. Very highly recommended. We will certainly return.

There is always a good choice of food, the staff are all so friendly and the atmosphere is great, also great for celebrating all sorts of parties.

Perfectly cooked food, lovely atmosphere and crepe suzette to die for. Highly recommend for a great french fine dining experience in this area luton dunstable and surrounding areas.

Beautiful food, have visited a couple of times and both visits the food was fantastic. Beef fillet cooked to perfection. Roast duckling also, and big portions. Excellent starters and the crepe suzette oh yeah. Highly recommend probably the best restaurant around the area.

Fabulous dinner and with pianist too

Beautiful food. Served how I liked it. I’m new to French cuisine, have been twice before. And I asked for the peppercorn sauce to be separate. I wanted to see if I would like it. I loved it. The family who owns this restaurant, and waitress make you feel warm and welcoming. I cannot wait to come back again, and try something else. I definitely recommend coming here.

Lovely restaurant no rush service had a great lunch definitely recommend the service was excellent definitely will be returning the food absolutely delicious 🤤 five stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Attended a pre wedding lunch as always everything was wonderful

Fantastic French restaurant, great service and atmosphere, enjoyed our 25th anniversary, thanks

I went to Chez Jerome this evening with 5 colleagues. We all ordered different things for starter, main and dessert and there was not a single complaint for any dish. My meal was one of the best I have eaten in a long time. Great service and fantastic food - highly recommended! Thank you 😊

Decor is gorgeous and the atmosphere was lovely and really beautiful set up, but food was really disappointing, bland and tasteless. The staff was lovely it was a full house with only 2 people on the floor and they did amazing. Unfortunately I won't be going again unless they change the food.

We always visit Chez Jerome on birthdays and our anniversary. The food is incredible and the service excellent. If you want a really special meal, you cannot go wrong. The crepes Suzette flamed at your table are amazing.

Searched for fine dining and Chez Jerome came up. I interacted with the proprietor via messenger and WhatsApp (they answered both timeously) We were delighted with the reception we received. The table was set to celebrate husband’s birthday. I loved the touch. Service was excellent. The ambience was good. The food was good. All in all it was memorable and the restaurant deserves the praise.

We went here for a golden wedding anniversary. The food and portions were very good. Staff very friendly and helpful.

We held a lunchtime celebration for our Golden Wedding at Chez Jerome yesterday. Everything was wonderful. The decorations were beautiful and the food and service really good. There were 47 of us and everyone had a great time. Chez Jerome worked so hard to ensure that we had a special celebration. I recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a small to medium size venue for a special event. Thank you Chez Jerome!

How fabulous!! Food was amazing, service was excellent. We were in a large group & everyone got there food together & it was hot & served with a smile. Staff all so proffesional & friendly. Highly recommended.

My wife and I had a two course dinner at the Chez Jerome on a Wednesday. Although my wife and don't like crowded restaurants, there were only two other tables occupied on this evening and some might find it a little too quiet. This is the fewest covers we've encountered here over the years, and the first time we've been on a Wednesday, so I can't say whether the two things are related. Both a set and an a la carte menu are available - copies of their menus can be found online. The quality, portion size, and presentation are very good. I think the price of the meal represents excellent value for money - and have no qualms recommending it.

Wonderful restaurant, food is freshly cooked and beautifully presented,loved the whole evening hosted by the lovely Lena.

Excellent restaurant 👌. The food arrives on a warmed plate.

The best restaurant for miles around. Family run. Excellent menu, food, service and atmosphere. Proper cooked and presented food, unlike all the chain pubs/restaurants serving bought-in and heated same stuff, wherever.

Loved the place! Amazing atmosphere very classy! Very friendly and helpful staff. We’ve had a onion soup, halloumi with beetroot salad and venison steak, everything was very tasty & perfectly cooked! I’m definitely coming back there to try more dishes and would highly recommend for everyone looking for French cuisine

We were given this night out as a 60th wedding anniversary gift and thoroughly enjoyed

Perfect, nothing else need to be said x They get everything right every single time French onion soup to die for and their fillet steaks....absolutely perfect!!

Very welcoming and cosy restaurant. Food was lovely, portions good, staff professional and friendly. Not too long to wait. All 3 of us enjoyed our meals. Crepe suzette amazing. Definately recommend.

Absolutely love this place. Food is always spot on and the service is just brilliant. Its are new favourite! Well done to the management for creating a welcoming, friendly, relaxed establishment.

Amazing all round. Food is exceptional.

Amazing food and brilliant staff

We had a lovely meal for Mothers Day at Chez Jerome. All 7 of us thoroughly enjoyed our 3 course meal. We received excellent attentive and friendly service from all of the front of house staff. The restaurant was decorated beautifully for the theme and there were chocolate gifts and lovely balloons for the mums. Thank you, we will definitely visit again!

Lovely relaxed lunch . Background music was just right. Food was delicious and service prompt polite and not intrusive !

There are such a lot of very good points about this little restaurant. It was spotlessly clean, well laid out and the staff were really polite and attentive. I was very happy with my meal. I had the Pate, lamb filets, and the crepe Suzette which I would highly recommend. The waitress flambéed it at our table which I thought was a nice touch. My husband wasn’t so happy with his starter of salmon and prawn roulade. It was a strange sort of miniature prawn cocktail with lots of chopped up lettuce inside and wrapped in a slice of smoked salmon. He enjoyed his sirloin steak main but his pudding was a real let down. He ordered raspberry jelly and instead of the lemon sorbet he had chocolate ice cream. What we didn’t expect was a tub of long life jelly the sort you put in a kids packed lunch upturned onto a plate with a scoop of ice cream and a sliced strawberry. But saying that it did give us a good laugh. We also had a nice full basket of bread and were offered a complementary liquor after our meal which was I thought another rather nice touch. As it is marketed as a French restaurant it would have been nice to have a bit of French ambiance with softer lighting and maybe some French background music. I would definitely go back but my husband wouldn’t.

Very nice place to relax and enjoy a most pleasant meal. Very good food

My husband and I celebrated my 60th birthday with friends. We all thoroughly enjoyed the delicious meal. Even though the restaurant was busy our meal arrived on time and staff were friendly. Lovely local restaurant in Dunstable.

My partner and I attended Valentine’s Day the first time we have been. First off every table apart from us received bread . Starter where ok but my main fillet of beef asked medium served well done . But second time was cooked as asked . After finished main waited 25 minuets till asked if we would like desert. Cheese board came as cheese cake but when cheese board arrived was very cold and when I remarked I was told it’s cold outside .. the French should know how a cheese board is served .. also complemented with a dessert wine which in my opinion was off .. my partners meal was much better than my own but the restaurant did remove the 10% service charge removed & dessert wine off the final bill but we had to go back after 10 minuets as we realised they also forgot to take the £20 deposit to reserve the table for Valentine’s Day ??? Anyone who dined Valentine’s Day I would check your bill too as I presume you also paid £20 to reserve your table … I can only say my experience of this restaurant was bloody awful

I really enjoyed my meal here. The food was very good and so was the service. What I can't understand is why they, and to be fair many other places, don't spend a few pounds on some decent light bulbs. A mix of nasty blue LEDs and various others around the place make it look cold and not very welcoming when it actually is quite the opposite. I still recommend it and I'll be going again myself so being what some may call picky but these things matter to me.

Very nice cosy restaurant. Good lunchtime menu on Sunday. Great value, good portions and tasty.

Great food, family run who go out of their way to ensure you have a good time

Visited Dunstable today and had lunch at Chez Jerome. Lovely atmosphere, even with the 80s throwback music! Nice to sway to a bit of Duran Duran! Great wine, and the food was delicious. Staff were friendly and the service was great. Food arrived in a timely manner. Venison was delicious and the steak too. Loved the french onion soup amd the pear starter. Would definitely come again!

My very favourite restaurant! Excellent food and exceptional service always!

Lovely service, great food and large measures!! Really enjoyed it we will be back

Beautiful little restaurant with lovely food. We had Crepes Suzette flambed at our table. Really delicious

Lovely place to dine, food was so good and two ladies doing table service were so friendly nothing too much for them, comfortable restaurant, will definitely return. Thank you.

Great French food with a seasonal menu

The delicious food and warm welcome are enough to make you want to revisit and try everything on the menu. The ambience for a Sunday was perfect with live entertainment. Eating at this restaurant is perfect every day, such wonderful food.

I go here to meet my friends over lunch every so often and we have loved every visit. Food is delicious and Lina and her staff are so warm and welcoming.

This is one of our favourites as they have reliably good food, excellent front of house with the warmest of welcomes.

Love this place .... best restaurant in Bedfordshire for lovely food cooked by Chef Jerome and wonderful personal service by Lina, his wife and their waiting team.

It's such a treat to have a place like this in a small town. Cooking by someone who knows what they're doing; pleasant and attentive service; excellent wine list. Support places such as these - they are becoming increasingly rare and precious.

We have been wanting to go to this restaurant since Jan 21 when we moved to area. Worth the wait and can't wait to go back. Good old fashioned service and quality. Food was fresh, wonderfully cooked and amazing. Service with lots of smiles. Lovely atmosphere and felt like a special night out. Loved it !

Really nice quaint little restaurant, lovely friendly staff and wide choice of food

Food always good and service with a smile!

Fantastic evening with Family for my 70th Birthday. The attention to detail was amazing, balloons, banners even the Menu cards had 70th Birthday on them. The food and service was first class. Very memorable evening. Thank you

Very friendly family run restaurant with delicious food and good wine! Highly recommended!

Very friendly staff and yummy food 😋

Excellent service and food, a great French restaurant.

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere. Really glad we tried this restaurant. Staff are friendly and helpful - it really is a great dinning experience. We have eaten here three times now and its been fantastic every time. Cant't recommend enough.

First time visiting Chez Jerome for their good value lunch menu. Fresh and delicious salads - mine chicken Caesar and my friend’s seafood. Lovely to have such a warm welcome, attentive service and one of the nicest things - linen table cloths and napkins. Always...

What a find!!! (My 12yo picky eater says “mum, write that the food was outstanding”as I am typing this). Our starters, mains and dessert was great. Scallops - cooked perfectly with amazing flavour combination (salty bacon and sweet pea purée). Absolutely amazing, tender and succulent meat with perfect sauces - we tried fillet, ribeye and chicken. All places I go I have a few signatory baseline tests to check quality. Pavlova is one of them. Hard to get wrong… but sometimes some food places surprise you with silly things. Not here. Test passed with flying colours: flavours, texture - well done. In addition to that - very friendly, simple and attentive hosts. We used to go to Dunstable for football fixtures and karting racing. Now we will be come here also for food.

My friend and I had a ‘light lunch’ today. It’s a new concept for Chez Jerome. They have 4 salad dishes and 1sharing dish. We had a different salad dish each and both were excellent, more than enough for lunch. Give it a try you...

First of all I cant believe it took us so long to visit Chez Jerome. It's exactly the type of restaurant for us and the food was cooked to perfection. For the quality of food and service my husband and I received we would have...

Fantastic food and brilliant service. My first time here to celebrate my birthday, would absolutely recommend. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Lovely restaurant inside and out. Very polite and friendly waitress. Good choice menu. Food above average.

1st time, after many years of saying we must go. Lovely food, great service and friendly staff. Recommend.

Fabulous meal with Lena an attentive host. Gluten free choices excellent and special decorations on table for my birthday

We had a lovely time, on our anniversary there. The atmosphere and the food are beautiful.

Overall, a pretty good experience. Would 100% recommend.

Went for lunch on Friday. Food was wonderful, especially the crepe suzette (the theatre!) We had the pork loin and the fish platter. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavours were sublime. The chef obviously knows how to combine flavours. Cannot wait to return.

This quaint french eatery has some good reviews so I was expecting good things having never been B4. However, it's only fair that I caveat this by saying it was a Mother's Day set menu. The staff friendly in extending warm welcomes on arrival. I highly recommend sitting near to the front for a window view with good natural light or further back on the left (as you enter) for a more intimate setting. The venue is quite small and that is immediately noticeable by the very limited bathroom facilities (1 male and 1 female WC) that isn't exactly easily accessible but what about the food? Well, the set menu was a disappointment. French onion soup was ok but lacked a depth of flavour associated with this classic French dish. The smoked duck & chicken with orange was bland. No hint of smokiness and no citrus zing from the orange beside the bitterness from the unrefined zest slices. The gateaux of smoked salmon with prawns was the winner but lacked a little flavour and bizzarly had the smallest cocktail prawns, which was very disappointing. Mains continued in the same vein as the starters with the fish course of Seabass and Salmon fillet winning out. The medallion of beef fillet, lamb shank and the grilled sirlion were all slightly disappointing as lacked seasoning. The shining light in the fog of averageness was dessert. Chocolate trilogies and the Lemon & limoncello sorbet were delightful. The trilogy had excellent consistency, combined with the marinated berries and the fresh sweet strawberry pieces and chocolate decoration on the plate. I'm not a dessert fan usually but I was impressed. The sorbet had a wonderful balance with the limoncello at the bottom. When they came together it was a blissful harmony. I'll give this place another go at some point, so that I can experience the full classical French Cuisine that this establishment is famed for and not the occasion menu we had this time around
