Durans in Hertsmere

Lovely little café in Bushey village. Great staff quick service. Extensive menu including huge portions of all day breakfasts. Food always piping hot

Food is amazing but the staff could smile and be friendlier. The jacket potatoes and English breakfasts are a favourite

Came here for breakfast this week with a friend and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. My friend and I both had variations of Eggs Benedict (two perfectly poached eggs on toast with silky smooth, perfect hollandaise sauce) – hers with a good sized portion of asparagus and spinach and a whole perfectly ripe avocado – mine with a portion of good quality smoked salmon, a whole deliciously creamy avocado and a sliced tomato. The tea and coffee were also good and the service polite, friendly and efficient. Can’t believe I’ve lived around the corner for over 7 years and never come here! I will definitely be back

Just had an insipid cup of tea (low grade tea bag) and bought-in frozen chips fried-to-order. Nothing noteworthy about Duran's Bistro-Grill except that they overcharged me by 50 pence and tried to bamboozle me by saying the chips were more expensive if ordered without other items from the breakfast menu. There is no written notification of this piffle on the menu and/or elsewhere on the premises. They only returned the filched 50 pence once I said I would report the matter to a local authority trading standards office. They refused my request to give me a receipt. OAPS and others should watch out for trickery of this kind.

Went for breakfast, ordered eggs benedict and sausage sandwiches. Both were good, but I was particularly impressed with the hollandaise sauce, it came in a little jar and was the real deal! not the mix of salad cream stuff other places serve up, and it was warm! The waitresses were efficient and friendly. We will return -soon.

I am impressed that the owner and staff pay meticulous attention to everything connected with Covid 19.

Visited today 25th July...Family of 5...We all had an assortment of Different Breakfasts and each one were cooked to Perfection..Presented very well..all served Hot..Each one of us commented how nice everthing was...From start to Finish all helped along with great service, being very friendly..helpful and attentive..We will definitely be going back..The sooner the Better..Thank you..and very Well Done..

I’ve been going to Durans for years. I was ordering from the regularly even after lock down. Great food, affordable, amazing portions, tasty, fresh, lovely staff.

I wanted to go somewhere locally for a jacket potato so I decided to check out this cafe on a rainy Friday. From the outside it looked average. I’d read some reviews before going and had called up to check they served jacket potatoes. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food and the ambience inside. The food was presented nicely and my friend and I enjoyed the experience. It was the right level of busy without too much noise or service being compromised. Thumbs up.

Durans is more of a cafe than a restaurant but has a wide menu serving breakfast, sandwiches,baguettes and toasties as well as some larger dishes such as burgers, steaks and chops, jacket potatoes and fish. Popped in for breakfast and ordered eggs benedict with smoked salmon and poached eggs with avocado on toast. The eggs benedict came on normal toast which is unusual but tasted good and the smoked salmon was fresh. The avocado with the poached eggs came sliced on the side rather than mashed, again unusual but tasty - the eggs had been poached in standard poacher and were slightly overcooked. Its a small cafe and so service was quick and friendly and we didn't wait too long for our food. Overall, its good value for what you get and as said in the title its no frills food but is good quality.

We visited today 23rd December for a quick lunch. Very attentive and fast friendly service. A very extensive menu especialy for children. Ordered two Chicken escalope salad sandwiches and capuccinos Lovely large capuccinos and good well filled sandwiches. Have made a note to visit again in the near future.

Love Duran’s, fresh ingredients, great variety, generous portions! They do an amazing breakfast! They are also very accommodating if you want to ‘create your own’ dish which I often do!

We only popped in for a late-afternoon cuppa but wouldn't hesitate to return for something more substantial - extensive opening hours through the week, clean and smart decor, and a nice cuppa even if I am always irritated by places that serve tea with the bag left in but then give you nowhere to put the bag but the saucer of your cup. Lots of standard caff meal options as well as a smattering of Mediterranean rim favourites, efficient service.

My wife had a weekday business meeting over coffee at this cafe/restaurant and I joined her afterwards for lunch. By then the place had become very busy. This restaurant cooks with soya bean oil rather than rapeseed, which suited my wife's dietary intolerance. It did take a while, however, for the restaurant to identify the oil they use. Like many places, the staff do not understand that there are several types of vegetable oil. In fact, the friendly, if confused, manager did not realize that soya bean was a vegetable! We both ordered omelettes which were tasty and well presented. The large portions represented very good value for money. The place itself is pleasant enough and clean. Very close to the pretty Bushey Rose Gardens with plenty of free parking nearby.

Very charming venue opposite the greens of a country club (almost) -- very convenient for a social lunch in that area -- the servers are friendly and attentive -- the portions are huge and very reasonably priced -- however the food is unremarkable as are the beverages. We each had a huge plate of jacket potatoes with avocado and prawns that came with a generous salad too -- I had an indifferent cup of Earl Grey too while my friend had a flat white. Maybe there are better items on the menu?

We stopped in for breakfast to warm us up after visiting Santa at the Bushey rose gardens. The cafe was busy but luckily we got a table. We all enjoyed a cooked breakfast although the sausages weren’t very nice, cheap cafe sausages rather than quality ones. The staff were polite and friendly. We liked the decor and the Christmas decorations. Would return again.

Stopped here for mid morning breakfast on a Saturday morning, it was busy which usually is a good sign for food. Ordered my food and it was served quickly and hot. The staff were friendly and the value very good. The place was clean and tidy with staff clearing tables as customers left.When in need of food and in the area I will definitely visit again

Visited on Monday. I had the full English and my son had breakfast number 4. Great food and service. Excellent value. Highly recommended. The place was packed and everyone happy

On entry the wooden furniture and the chequered tiled floor feels like a 50’s pie and mash shop. Staff were polite, efficient and quick. A standard breakfast was delivered in good time and was reasonable. Probably not a “bistro”. A ramp is provided for wheelchair bound customers. A good, relaxed morning and I will return.

So myself and my friend went at a quiet time of the day where there were two other tables of people eating. The staff were extremely rude and were quite abrupt with us. The food came and tbh it did not look appetising, greasy and cheap ingredients. Then the back door opened and the waiter/ COOK, and wat seemed like his whole family of non speaking friends or family were Smoking, and the smell of the smoke was drifting into the restaurant. At that point we stopped eating. Luckily at this point we both found short dark hairs on our plates. Only one guy working there at the time, so obviously his short dark hair, seeing as he wasn't wearing hat. So all in all this whole experience was a complete waste of time and money. Hence we won't be going back. I will not give my hard earned money on rude, unhygienic cheap food.

Worst breakfast ever cheapest ingredients, miserable staff , don’t know how to make a cup of tea !! There are plenty of other places to have food in bushey this is by far the worst !

We have visited Duran's twice for breakfast and are very impressed with everything they do. The breakfast menu is very versatile and you can order as much or as little as you need. The staff will also adapt the set menus to meet your needs.

What is becoming a tradition now, my friends and I walked to Duran’s for breakfast on NYD. Apparently the rest of Bushey had the same idea this year as the place was packed. However we were provided with a table and served quickly considering the amount of people there. The breakfasts offer multiple choices and are all cooked freshly and served promptly. Would recommend. Just please don’t go on NYD?

A menudo pop en aquí para el almuerzo. La comida es muy buena, y a un precio muy razonable. El único problema es el personal parecía estar en una prisa loca para llegar a la orden, tan pronto como llega, incluso a veces cuando no están ocupados. Parece que no se dan cuenta que algunas familias pueden necesitar un poco más de 45 segundos para decidir qué comer y continuamente a la orden. badger También, ten cuidado acerca de realizar preguntas acerca de desviarse lejos del menú e. g. puedo tener una porción de niños en vez de la adulto. Esto parece causar confusión en masa, delito y malestar dentro de la cocina, muy extraño. Volvería aquí más a menudo si no fuera por el personal nos apresurarnos a la orden y no ser capaz de manejar cualquier pregunta sobre el menú.

Me encanta Durans y así que mi familia y amigos. Siempre nos visita para almuerzo o almuerzo cuando en Bushey. La comida es excelente y el servicio es maravilloso. También es muy razonable. Tienen el mejor desayuno - incluyendo un vegetariano que es excelente. No puedo recomendar lo suficiente.

Fui para el almuerzo y tenía una ensalada bien preparado seguido de tarta de manzana y crema. El restaurante es limpio y de estilo moderno. Las camareras eran atentos y siempre tenía una sonrisa preparada.

He estado viniendo a Duran por un par de años, tienen el mejor desayuno! El menú es fantástica, con ingredientes de calidad y muy generosas porciones (a veces demasiado generoso! ). Los precios son muy asequibles. La decoración es kitsch y divertido. Me encanta. Los inodoros siempre impecable. El personal es encantador, atento y profesional. Es un gran lugar para ir con amigos, familia o incluso en su propio. Mi opinión de Duran nunca ha wavered, siempre una gran experiencia:).

Food selection very good amazing menu top chefs polite staff sweating area very clean atmosphere very relaxing

Buena comida. servicio constantemente y una buena relación calidad-precio. Una increíble variedad de platos y muy agradable para los niños. Porciones buena y bien preparada.

El café que venden de todo, desde un desayuno inglés completo de patatas fritas bistec n personal sirve comida bien preparada a un precio razonable. También hacer el mejor capuchino en Bushey en mi opinión

Fuimos a almorzar, la comida es buena y muy razonable. Es más bien una cafetería que un restaurante. Si quieres comida rápida que es decente, buena relación calidad-precio, este es el lugar para ir.

Es un pequeño restaurante Durans, perfectamente formado en Bushey Village. La comida es fresca y a un precio razonable. El restaurante es limpio y el personal es muy amable sin duda vale la pena una visita.

I have eaten here several times and food has always been good. The staff are very pleasant and helpful well worth a try.

I often pop in Duran's for a cooked breakfastLean baconNice-sized tasty sausage (fnarr fnarr )Egg with runny yolkBlack pudding!!! (my fave)Hash browns (extra on brekky #3)BeanzToastLovely!

Went for breakfast. Good service well cooked food, drinkable coffee clean and reasonably priced. Recommend

Solid food, good service. Menu very varied so everyone could have what they wanted. Go to place when suffering from hangover.

Clean great service and extremely helpful staff. Eat in or takeaway I'd never been before but definitely will be in the futureOpen till 7pm .

Been eating here at least once a month for a couple of years. I've previously left good reviews. But now Durans are insisting customers with young babies use their highchairs even though they are all broken and have been for months. The straps are missing, so you can't strap your baby in. When I raised this today, I was told they are what they are. When I said that my baby could fall out, I was greeted with a shrug, as if so say "so what". Really annoyed, trading standards would have a field day.

I was visiting/staying with my friend in England who was meeting her family for a birthday lunch and it happened to be at Durans. OMG, at first sight, I thought it was just a nice, ordinary cafe that you'd find on any High Street in any charming English Village. But I have to say, it was so much more than that. First of all, it was clean as a whistle. Secondly, the staff was so pleasant and so patient and just as sweet as can be. And last but not least, OMG! The food! I ordered fish and chips and it was the best I think I have ever had! Not only was the portion enormous, but it was so fresh and so hot and just absolutely good-to-the-last-drop delicious. I even ate every single pea on the plate which is so not like me. Everyone else (there were 8 of us) ordered breakfast or salads, or sandwiches and everyone licked their plates clean. A good time was had by all and I had to write a review to recommend it to others. The price was so reasonable, the service outstanding and the food excellent! What more could you want.

A nice small place with quick service and reasonably priced.Friendly staff who were helpful and recommended type of breakfast offers of the day. Could have easily chosen from menu and paid £12 quid but saved a fiver. Nice one.Good choice all round.

Great service whether you are ordering a quick coffee or full works breakfast. Toilets always clean.

Great breakfasts and excellent service!Best cafe around.Good value for money. Staff always friendly

My mum and I visit this place almost every other Sunday for breakfast. We have never been disappointed. I would advise going on a very empty stomach as the portions are gigantic. The waitresses are always happy and polite and nothing is ever too much trouble.

I occasionally pop in here for lunch. Always a nice welcome and the food is excellent and great value. Can't fault it.

Ordered a chicken shish... and got a meal fit for a king!Chicken shish pieces, cous cous, chips, salad, coleslaw, red cabbage, mushrooms, peppers and onions! Wow!!

Eat here regularly and the food is superb. The chicken shish and rice is honestly one of the best I've eaten. Really well cooked and presented. Lovely to have this cafe/bistro just a stones throw from my front door. The staff are friendly and treat us well. Although if I'm being honest, sometimes they struggle with basic English. But you'll get over that as the food is so good.

Have been here many times never had a bad meal. have been for breakfast, lunch and dinner my granddaughter love it because she is always spoilt 10 out of 10

went to durans again for lunch. The place is a little gem.good varied menu at moderate prices service was quick and friendly. special mention for Oana ( hope I got the spelling right. Nothing was too much trouble.The only comment I can make is, a great restaurant, good staff, good food, good ambiance, Why the mini chandeliers ?

I use Duran's on a regular basis, mainly because you always receive a warm welcome and the coffee and food is very good. My friend and I meet there every Monday morning for lunch and I also take my granddaughter and grandson for snacks on a regular basis. Their prices are very competitive and the coffee is very good,.especially when you compare them to Nero's and Costa Coffee.

Popped in as we were passing by. Between us we ordered the chicken shish, omlette and mixed grill. All our meals were hot and beautifully cooked. The staff were friendly and the place was lovely and clean. A real asset to Bushey high street. Will definitely go back again.

a big varied ` menu,well cooked and reasonably priced.the service was attentive without being intrusive. good for breakfast, lunch or dinner

At a loose end so a friend and I decided to give Duran's a look for breakfast. We both had the Big breakfast which was more than enough. With a tea was about £8. A little more expensive than normal but the place was spotless and very relaxing. It lost one star because the waitress was very glum. Perhaps a smile and chat was extra. Although she was efficient.

Was in the locality, so decided to meet up with a close friend of mine for a spot of lunch. Durans was his recommendation and a good one it was as well. The food was plentiful for what I ordered, which was good as I was hungry at the time. Would definitely return again. Little bit of advice, which is, if you are driving there park in the Golf clubs' car park opposite.

This is a fairly decent place for breakfast I've only been here for breakfasts but they do other meals and the menu is fairly extensive. I think they need better coffee but that would be my only criticism. The staff and friendly and I think this is great value for money!

We initially went in for coffee (which was good) but my wife saw some delicious food being delivered to another table, and decided to order egg on toast, for breakfast.She enjoyed the food, if we are in the area again, we will pay a visit.

Really nice food at reasonable prices. Gets really busy so I suggest you book a table if there is a few of you. Worth a try.

I been there nearly every week and always I enjoyed my food and lovely atmosphere and also desert is lovely I'm coming again soon as possible

Been to this cafe a few times but never again. Wasted opportunity as Bushey is crying out for a good coffee shop. Most of the food is frozen and use of the microwave is regular. Such a shame.

Having previously had a good breakfast here I expected dinner to be a good choice when I couldn't be bothered to cook for my young kids after work. Sadly it was really disappointing. The atmosphere is pleasant and the decor is fine, I wasn't expecting a gourmet meal but I did expect the quality of the simple food to be better. I ordered the lasagne which I honestly believe was a tesco ready meal, the texture of the mince was tiny and sparce with a very sloppy soggy sauce, nothing like the decent home made lasagne which I was expecting. The salad garnish was good and the chips were fine but I didn't expect a ready meal! My dad was with me and is usually easily pleased yet he felt the t bone steak was "tasteless" and said he wouldn't order that again (from my dad that is a terrible review!). The menu was vast but the kids options all came with chips and beans, it would of been good to see an option with a vegetable or something slightly less unhealthy. My youngest had chicken nuggets - deep fried, my older 6 year old son had the pizza which was an individual microwave thing which I had to bribe him with an ice cream after to eat it! Such a shame! They need to reduce the size of the menu and improve the quality, no more ready meals!

I have been lots of times and may have reviewed this before but just had to update. Was there yesterday with a friend for lunch. The moment you walk in the door the lovely staff welcome you in with a smile. Nothing is too much trouble. Some tables I noticed were reserved so obviously you can book but there are lots of tables. I was waiting for a friend so had a lovely cappuccino which was piping hot and delicious. The staff remember me every time and always ask how I am. The menu is vast with everything you could possibly want and if you want to chop and change something they will accommodate. My friend arrived and we looked at the menu and she ordered a Jacket Potato with tuna and she asked if she could have a little grated cheese on top. I had Chicken Shish which for me was massive. Lots of spicy chicken with flavoured rice, loads of salad I.e. Cabbage, Red Cabbage, Tomato, Cucumber and if you don't want rice you can have chips. Under all this is a wrap cum pancake. As I said it was far too much but deliciously tasty. We shared a bottle of sparkling water and the whole bill was so reasonable. This restaurant is opposite Bushey Beaumont (large White House) in the High Street next door to a dry cleaners. There is parking in a service road outside or nearby a Free Car Park in Kemp Place. I am going again on Saturday and can't wait.

Popped in for a light bite to eat. Ordered sandwiches. Food was lovely and the staff were nice. Would go again.

I can recommend Duran's for one of their all day breakfasts. Everything on your plate is cooked to perfection and of good quality (especially the bacon, which is spot on). The restaurant/café is clean and tidy, the staff are friendly, the service is of a very high standard. It is also very reasonably priced. There is a nice atmosphere. I will definitely be eating breakfast here more often, Extremely enjoyable.

Going to Durans is a must in my family even if it's just for a cup of tea. We have been coming here since it opened. The staff are always polite and friendly, the restaurant is clean and the food is great. Even better it's just a short walk from my house and on the walk home I like to go through the Rose Gardens one of our local places of historical interest. Have recommended it to lots of friends.

We love the fact that we can walk up the high street and grab breakfast or lunch with the kids and not spend a fortune in the process. The food is what you would expect of a cafe but cooked well and served with a smile. Durans is on our favourites list.

One of several eateries in my location. Reasonable price for substantial meal. Good atmosphere for a coffee break.

This is just what you need from a little cafe. Great food, big portions and great prices. It is not anything special, it just does what it does very well!

Visiting my parents who have lived in Bushey for all of my 31 years and beyond, it is nice to see a quaint little cafe thriving and producing good quality food. We'd been busy shopping and wanted to stop off for a light bite and a hot drink. Staff were very friendly, we did not feel at all rushed, food and drinks all arrived in good time and the sandwiches served on lovely thick cuts of bread. Would definitely recommend and will be making a return visit too!

Lovely atmosphere and delicious food.Really felt welcome and inexpensive.Pop in to the cafe and visit the Bushey Rose Gardens before or after you food.

I wasn't impressed. My meal was greasy and the ingredients were poor quality. Staff weren't very friendly. Wont be stopping off here again.

My husband and I went here on the first day it opened and have been going ever since. The food and service are very good, we often pop in just for coffee when we have been shopping in Bushey. They are doing very well it is very popular and always busy...

I love everything about this place, from the food to the staff, from the staff to the decor! Simply the best meal I have had in a while!

I love this place. Always full of people. Great menu, fantastic value for money.Have eaten breakfast and lunch here on many occasions and have never been let down. The fried breakfasts are fantastic and so are the jacket potatoes/sandwiches.

Another pleasant experience at Duran's.Polite waitress, clean, drinks arrived within 2 minutes ...and our two breakfasts within 10! Brilliant!! :)Obviously the company was great too. (I thought I'd better mention this ...or risk a slap!) lol

A nicely decorated little bistro cafe, with a great menu.There's a meal for almost any occasion, from full breakfasts, to mixed grills, from meze's to jacket potatoes, the list goes on and the quality is superb for the price you'll pay.There wasn't an ounce of grease on my full english breakfast and at less than £5 I was more than satisfied with my Saturday morning, hangover cure at Durans!I've since been back and had the lasagne which is great also and similarly costs about a fiver, much better value than local pubs and restuarants!The waiting staff are very friendly and the owner is usually on hand to make you feel welcome and ensure you enjoyed your visit. Great place to eat for a quick but tasty lunch!

Came here my family. We seated ourselves moving around tables and chairs- 2 kids and three adults and a buggy, would have been nice for some help. I had a salad and my partner had a burger and the kids the usual. The food came quickly and my salad was a large portion and tasty (Greek salad). This is a good cafe and I would come back but there was something missing to make it stand out as there are a LOT of eateries in Bushey!

Looks good from the outside and on entering the decor was inviting and fitting for a place calling its self a Bistro. We seated ourselves and after waiting a few minutes went up and got our own menus, even after this still no one acknowledged us. I was further irritated when people arriving after us were had their order taken before us.When I did order I was surprised to find that they didn't have any soya milk, I had yet to visit any eatery in Bushey that didn't. I ordered a veggie breakfast and my friend a set breakfast and hash browns. Menu stated that the set breakfasts came with toast, but no hot drink which I found unusual for a set breakfast.Tea was OK, the Mocha was not. It had clearly been made by adding a spoon of hot chocolate powder. Mushrooms were deep fat fried and very oily, flavourless eggs and cheap beans. As this wasn't your standard greasy spoon and priced above what I you would expect to pay, I expected the bacon and sausage to be of a fairly good quality. Alas this was not to be! To boot you only get 1 slice of toast, again the cheapest white slice and to be fair calling it toast isn't a true reflection of what we were presented with. More like warm bread.I wouldn't recommend this place for a breakfast...or a mocha!

The food is general coffee shop type food which is nicely prepared and presented - things on toast, breakfasts, jacket potatoes, salads, an extensive menu of fuller main courses but it is the service! Nothing is too much trouble for the lovely, friendly staff. It has not been in Bushey Village long but has already built up a band of regulars. Whenever I go there (usually once a week) I often see the same people. Would I recommend it? I do, all the time.

I been there couple times and I really enjoyed food is nice and they very friendly I'm gone wisit again soon

I went with a few friends to this cafe and it was a nice clean venue with good value meals on the menu. As it does not have a drinks licence you are allowed to bring your own wine with you which is handy as there is a nearby off licence. It is newly opened and we found the owner to be very friendly and welcoming. Will be returning again.

The decor looks like somewhere that might serve good food, but it is average quality. Service is alright. Nothing special. Expensive for what it is. A very unimaginative menu.

Clean nice 'snacky ' menu. Good sized portions nicely presented. You can take your own booze and no corkage charge. This is not fine dining but it certainly does what it says on the tin.

I've been in here twice with my family and on each occasion we've had good, simple, value for money meals - also, I heard other customers paying compliments . The portions are large, well presented and better your average cafe.Service has been good, friendly and prompt on both my visits.I'd happily recommend it and come back here again.

I visited this new place with my daughter and her friend. The service was pleasant enough and the surroundings weren't too bad if I'm honest. I ordered the kids the 'kids meal' the pizza looked to have been nuked in a microwave, the chicken nuggets looked cooked the day before. The beans were over microwaved too. I ordered the 'old man river' cheese burger! This name got my taste buds going and I thought I was in for a treat especially when I ordered the large one! I imagined a decent sized fresh crusty roll glazed with butter, a chunky home made burger with relish, salad and it to be dripping in fresh cut chunky cheese slices. What I got was a supermarket value meal. A standard flat bun, the thinnest burger ever which contained as much meat as a veggie meal, and a supermarket value square processed cheese slice. Disappointed doesn't describe how I felt even after paying the £5 for it, it doesn't come with chips so that's extra, god knows what the small version looks like. A disappointing meal, I won't be visiting there again!

I had been recommended by a few people to come here and all I can say is it's the biggest load of rubbish! All I can think of now is that I'm most likely going to get sick from the appalling coffee I had apon arrival after i had my first sip I looked over and the steam wand was caked in old steamed milk which is covered in bacteria. Onto the food- my 'sausage' was the cheapest most tasteless piece of cardboard sausage I've ever had and the hash browns coated in rancid oil. After consuming such filth I had to reach over to my partners orange juice which was clearly purchased from the next door spar. If I wanted extremely cheap bland no frills food I could have gone to the cafe in tescos for half the price and not be put at risk of contamination. I wasn't expecting a gourmet restaurant just fresh produce and a bit of cleanliness wouldn't have gone a miss. Why is it so hard to find a good local cafe outside of London. The best part about it was my glass of water from the waitress who was friendly.

Called in for a light lunch after a morning shopping.The food was delicious, hot and plenty of it.The ice cream was the best I have tasted this side of the channel and the cost was very reasonable.The only down side was there was no air conditioning and on one of the hottest days of the year it was extremely hot in the restaurant.Will defiantly go again and would recommend it.
