The best restaurants in St Albans East of England

Family of six which included our two grandsons went early evening on Saturday 1/02/2020. All the meals we had especially the pizza were delicious.The service was great and all the staff were very obliging. We would certainly go back again in the future. Show less

This place was recommended by a friend and I’m so pleased that we tried it. From the moment I phoned to book we felt welcome. I called the day before for a table of six on a Friday night for my daughter’s birthday and although they seemed busy when we arrived and one of their chefs was off they still took our booking which I was very grateful for. The food was lovely and the portions were generous. We all enjoyed our food, both starters and mains. The year before we’d gone to an Itallian in London and ended up with tiny overpriced portions but these portions were the perfect size even for the most hungry of our group! I didn’t manage all of mine but was kindly given a box to bring it home in. We would definitely like to visit this restaurant again.

Was a lovely afternoon treat boating Charlie’s. Lovely atmosphere, the food was yummy and tea was very nice (and strong! Love strong tea!) obviously less strong is available! They have a really good selection of vegan/non-diary alternatives which is super!! Space to sit indoors or outside as well as takeaway, which seemed to be very busy too. Definitely a good sign. Will definitely be back. The team there were lovely and friendly too - thank you xx

Nice, quick, lunch. £5 lunches on offer Monday to Thursday. Limited menu choice, but imcludes weaps. Good, qick, service. Ordering ahead possible.

We dropped in for afternoon tea. Fabulous friendly hospitality, delicious cake and the best hot chocolate in the world according to my son!

By far the best Thai food I have ever had, every dish is flavoursome with loads of fresh ingredients and spices. I love it!!!

As ever the Thompsons Close cafe team have looked after us with their friendliness and warm and kind atmosphere. An oasis of peace in a busy world.

My favourite restaurant in town. I've tried almost all the items on the menu, and have never been let down. From halloumi burgers to chicken skewers to the burgers and steaks. Real food at unbelievable prices. Have been going since 2014, and whenever i am away from home, i always find myself craving a 'Laurel'

The egg, cucumber, avocado and tofu sushi platter from BentoZo was fresh and very nicely presented, with a perfect balance of sweetness, creaminess, and crunch. Highly recommend!

This is a great place for a large, well cooked breakfast, By 9.30am most of the tables were full and I can see why. Friendly staff, good tea, excellent food and a lovely local relaxed atmosphere. I had the Bubble and Squeak with extra mushrooms and bacon, and it was lovely; good portion, well cooked.

The food was delicious. Fresh and cooked perfectly. The lady serving us wonderful, helpful. A lovely little cafe, worth trying their tasty Greek food and breakfasts. Coffee good and fruit juice freshly made. What a wonderful way to start the day :-)

Been going to this fish and chip shop my whole life and we have missed since it shut from a fire. It’s back and even better than before. Warm and friendly staff and great food

Frequently visited. Excellent coffee and bacon rolls. Recently taken to their milk shakes. More seating added a few months ago. Greenwood Park is very popular with dog owners. Saturday morning can be very busy if wanting to park.

Absolutely fabulous Burn’s Night experience at The Stables at Oaklands College. The food was excellent and the service attentive. Definitely will be returning on another Thursday night
