The best restaurants in Amersham Town Chiltern South East

We purchased a travelzoo voucher as we've never been to the restaurant before and wanted to try the food. Really pleased we did, the restaurant is lovely and we couldn't fault the food and service. Looking forward to returning soon.

Nowhere better in Amersham, or Bucks! And now peanut butter is on the menu, it’s complete. Best pastries, best bread, best coffee, friendliest service and advice….and best music (although Mondays, Christy plays a dodgy playlist). A wonderful place to eat and drink.

Elaine and her Team are fabulous! We regularly eat Sushi and Sashimi in some of the top places in London. Zuma, Dinings etc. I can safely say that the quality here is just as good if not better!

Gorgeous intimate bistro in Old Amersham. Well thought through and varied small plates, great wine list (at a variety of price points) and super friendly service. Manages to have a really lovely atmosphere even though it’s such a tiny restaurant. I’ve been twice and whilst it’s not cheap, In my opinion it’s the best restaurant in Buckinghamshire - you’ll have to go to London to find something else like this. The deep fried miso rice is an absolute highlight and the desserts are proper desserts - the pistachio doughnuts with baklava syrup were dreamy. Everyone just needs to keep going to make sure it stays open!

Small and personal space to sit and enjoy great food and drink. Served with a smile the staff were keen to make our short visit the best it could be. Avocado on sourdough with bacon with poached eggs is super tasty. Will go again next time we are in the area.

Koko’s New Coffee Shop in Beaconsfield is top notch! Great coffee - that’s a given, but the most delicious home made sandwiches & cakes. Absolutely unbeatable in this quaint, friendly little coffee shop - definitely don’t walk past!!!! The Nutella Cheesecake is insanely good!

We understand that reservations have a 2 hr window in this restaurant. Yet, the waitress (the one who served us had wavy/curly hair tied up in a ponytail) kept insisting that we order the food immediately while we were just getting started with cocktails. We asked her respectfully to give us more time, and she got snarky, turned her back to us and threw her tray on the bar counter while complaining to her barman colleague about us. We tried to talk to her again and she acted as if she did not hear us. We let the host know about her behavior, paid for our drinks, and left without eating. A beautiful date night was ruined. Do they not teach their staff to be polite and just decent? Is that asking too much?

I attended here for Sunday lunch for my 90 year old father in law and husband. Food is always fantastic and it is obvious the team are of a high standard and work well together. I have visited here several times on my own and with friends and always notice how friendly staff are and eager to make you feel comfortable. Very impressed today with how a young female server dealt with a grumpy elderly female customer. She went above and beyond in her efforts to placate her. Amersham residents are very lucky to have The Griffin in their vicinity.

I’ve been a regular customer of this restaurant, ordering takeaways for quite some time, but I finally had the chance to visit in person recently, and I’m so glad I did! The food was absolutely amazing. Every dish was bursting with flavour and cooked to perfection. What really stood out, though, was the incredible service. The staff were very friendly, polite, and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s rare to find such a welcoming atmosphere, and it made dining there truly special. Overall, my visit was a wonderful experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back more often with friends or family. Highly recommend it!

Great service Ionut and his team were amazing, very courteous and professional. The starters were amazing, the mains were a bit of a let down, overall a nice dining experience.

I would like to have written a positive review but having both called and emailed to enquire if they have wheelchair access and an accessible toilet I have had no response and will book elsewhere. I can only assume that they do not or they do not want my custom. Very poor.

Have emailed twice but not received a reply, hence a copy posted here. We are writing to express our concern about our poor dinning experience on 7th March. It was our first time at the restaurant, celebrating our anniversary and we appreciated the card, the friendly and engaging staff and enjoyed the meal. Soon after we had sat down, there was a table of 4 seated adjacent to us and their loud and raucous conversations ruined our dining experience. Even though, by the end of our meal, a member of staff had acknowledged our discomfort by the look on my face and body reaction and spoke to us, we left quite unhappy and rather bewildered as nothing had been done. I was contemplating if I should say something to that table before they left (they left before us) but we did not feel that it was our responsibility to do so, and we expected that action would have been taken much earlier. We decided on the restaurant as we had received recommendations from friends, and as we do frequent fine dining and Michelin restaurants we did not expect this type of atmosphere or the problem not to be addressed. We ended up having a mediocre time disrupting our dining experience and making it difficult to have a conversation with each other, for the sum of @£550, which is not what we, or yourselves would expect. We would appreciate it if you could kindly address this situation and ensure a more pleasant atmosphere. Thank you for your attention to this matter and we look forward to hearing from you.

Had my mum's wake here & used the upstairs area. Staff were really friendly & accommodating. Buffet food was amazing. Great atmosphere

The calamari and chicken Caesar salad are both amazing with a side of zucchini fries. The atmosphere and service is brilliant aswell. I would highly highly recommend

The coffee cake was delicious, service was friendly and fast. Nice setting to see the traffic go by
