Lussmanns was established by Andrei Lussmann in North Kensington in 2002 and moved to Hertfordshire in 2004, where it successfully launched five locations.

The bar area will highlight Lussmanns’ own Garden Gin and selections from the local Mad Squirrel brewery, while the main dining area will feature a 30-cover walled garden. 

Customers can expect dishes such as Label Anglais free-range chicken schnitzel, fishcake with spinach, capers and butter sauce, and south coast crab linguine. 

Brunch will also be available at weekends. 

Hospitality & Catering News quoted Lussmann: “Opening a restaurant in London feels like we are coming home, as that’s where it all started for Lussmanns in North Kensington in 2002. 

“We cannot wait to open our doors in historic and beautiful Highgate Village and welcome customers to come and enjoy the finest ingredients sourced from farmers, fishers and producers all practising the highest standards – and at affordable prices.” 

Planning further expansion, Lussmanns has taken over the premises of the former Loch Fyne restaurant, located in a Grade II-listed building on the Woburn Estate in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, to open its seventh location in October 2024. 

The restaurant group currently operates five restaurants in Hertford, St Albans, Hitchin, Harpenden and Berkhamsted.
