The 30 Best Foodie destinations in Watford

“I had the pleasure of visiting Burritos Watford recently. The mexican tottilla wrap were absolutely mouthwatering—the Chicken was juicy and packed with flavour, and the combination of toppings was perfect. It's definitely one of the best burritos I’ve had in a while! I also tried the mexican rice, which are something truly special. The way they’ve put it all together is unique and unlike anything I've had before. It's a must-try for anyone looking for something different and tasty! A big shoutout to udaya for her amazing customer service. She made the experience even more enjoyable with her friendly and helpful attitude. It’s not every day you come across someone so dedicated to making sure you have the best dining experience. Highly recommend this place for great food and excellent service! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5”

“Plenty of open space and wooded areas to explore, with the well appointed hub for all your other needs(cafe, toilets), and a great play park for the kiddies. Miniature railway and a small farm nearby, can't recommend enough. We went for this year's fireworks display and it didn't disappoint. Well worth a family visit.”

“I had a fun visit at TGI Fridays Watford Central. The atmosphere is lively and upbeat, with music, lights, and a proper “going out” feel that makes it a good spot for a casual meal or drinks with friends. The staff were friendly and on the ball. We were seated quickly, orders were taken without delay, and everything arrived as expected. They checked in just enough to make sure we had what we needed without hovering. The food was exactly what you want from Fridays – indulgent, tasty, and generous portions. The wings and burgers were especially good, and the cocktails were well made. Overall, it was a relaxed, enjoyable evening with good service and a fun vibe. I’d happily come back.”

“Go here a few times a week to mainly grab a chicken katsu salad which is 10/10. Sometimes have other food like sweet and sour chicken or katsu curry. Food is always very good and service is normally also perfect. Although lately have noticed service to be getting a little slower. Was waiting to be served for nearly 10 minutes whilst Deliveroo drivers coming in after me were getting served straight away. That just needs improving”

“Owner and staff are all friendly, menu is well priced and chips are consistently exquisite! Even my cats try to steal them off my plate! 10/10 I have been a returning customer for over 4 years”

“Genuinely the best Thai I’ve ever had in the UK. And genuinely the closest thing to authentic Thai food from Thailand itself! The Khao Soi and the Penang curries were truly outstanding! Apple (the owner) and the staff were super friendly! Couldn’t recommend highly enough and I’m guaranteed to go back regularly! Thank you for having us!”

“Toni's a true authentic greek experience Ordered from here a couple of times via deliveroo and just eat. Always get the boxed portions and the club sandwich, and the food is incredible. Taste amazing and the portion size is huge. Exceptional quality and I highly recommend ordering/ visiting if possible. 5 stars out of 5 :)”

“Sweet hidden gem for all you coffee fanatics out there. Had the Kenya batch brew filter which was yum also picked up a bag of Colombia Buenos Aires which is a peach fruit bomb. Do yourself a favor get it before it gone. Bru the owner roast his own beans and he does a fantastic job.”

“Absolutely fantastic food, really good service and incredibly well priced Definitely will be visiting again soon!”

“Pleasantly surprised by the food, great taste, quality at a very reasonable price. It is more of a fast food place than a sit in restaurant, take away drivers walking too and fro. Perfect for spending my expenses.”

“What a lovely little restaurant with lovely authentic food. Thank you to Iglé (sorry if I spelt your name wrong) for squeezing us in and being the best waiter. Really loved the food and drinks, and all for a good price. Will be visiting again.”

“Perch & Co. near Croxley station is an absolute gem! The rustic vibe of the café immediately makes you feel at home, with its warm, cozy atmosphere and charming decor. The food is exceptional, made with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. Their menu offers a great variety, catering to all tastes, from hearty breakfast options to delicious lunch specials. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about their customers. Whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee or settling in for a leisurely meal, Perch & Co. never disappoints. Highly recommended!”

“I always have a relaxing time at Villiers. This is a cozy and laidback café, with a lot of different treats on offer that cater to a variety of diets. There are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. I was very appreciative that I could choose between a few flourless snacks. I’ve had the flapjack, the cheesecake, and the salted caramel brownie, all of which I enjoyed. Shoutout to the barista Anna, who always ensures that the gluten free goodies I get are handled safely so I can enjoy them without getting a reaction! The coffee is very good, and I can't complain when there's nice latte art. I don’t love that the latte is served in a glass instead of a mug, but that's more of a preference than a comment on the quality. It tastes great regardless! In short: very nice and recommend!”

“We popped here for breakfast today and the lady working was very friendly and accommodating with my little boy. The breakfast was good and it was a nice and convenient place to be able to catch up with a friend whilst visiting the area”

“I went to this coffee shop few days ago, and ordered a cappuccino which was damn amazing. The latte art in that coffee was so good that I even took a picture of it. There was this guy named Parin who was a very good guy exceeding excellent hospitality to his customers. I recommend anyone and everyone to visit this coffee shop if you’re craving for fantastic coffee drinks.”

“I had a wonderful brunch experience at The Garden Rooms. Christina, our server, was friendly and efficient, making our visit even more enjoyable. The smashed avocado on sourdough and huevos rancheros were both incredibly tasty and satisfying. The atmosphere was pleasant, with great background music and lovely green decor that added to the ambiance. I highly recommend this place for a delightful brunch outing.”

“We had a fantastic dining experience at Prime Rickmansworth in Chandlers Cross. The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The triple-cooked chips were absolutely delicious and complemented the meal perfectly. The service was attentive and professional, and the atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed. A wonderful spot for anyone who appreciates quality food and great hospitality, highly recommended!”

“Took my mum there for her 79th...she loved it! Excellent choice of dishes, authentic, tasty and generous portions. Thanks to Nabil for looking after us.”

“Chilled out family restaurant serving fresh tasty food. The service is excellent too. They also have a nice selection of desserts.”

“Hands down the best authentic Indian food I’ve had in a while! Delicious flavors, perfect spice, and amazing service. Can’t wait to come back!”

“Had a paneer tikka Kathi roll, fries and a can of Limca for £8.90. Food was served within minutes, piping hot. Fries were really crispy and the portion was a good size for one. The paneer tikka roll was filling and tasted very delicious. Not too spicy. The kathi roll was a flaky paratha that crumbed a bit but tasted really buttery and crispy. Staff were friendly and helpful. We dined in and the lady at the counter brought our food to us. They clear and clean all tables as customers leave. They have veg and non veg options. Would eat here again.”

“Everyone enjoyed their food, the matcha was really good, the music really good and the actually inside of the cafe is gorgeous. All the servers were really nice & accommodating (especially Lisa! she took great photos for us) even though we had a big group. Overall had a great time and would definitely come back!”

“Great cafe, great atmosphere, great food and the service is brilliant, I think her name was Julia who served me and woow she should be the owner or at least manager,she was so amazing and professional I can't thank her enough for a beautiful service, definitely coming back,thank you. #flipper”

“Excellent food! We ordered really late after a long day at work and the food was so fresh, warm and flavorful when it arrived. New favourite place!”

“Visited today for my mums birthday - we booked last minute after a change of plans. We had 3 courses and every single one was delicious. Highly recommend the Sunday roast and the sticky toffee! The service was great - special thanks to the two young guys (I didn’t catch their names but a really young lad and the barman with plaits) for looking after us. We will be back!”

“Excellent Italian Restaurant in Watford! This is a fantastic Italian restaurant with delicious food, generous portions, and great value. The flavors are authentic, and every dish is well-prepared. Service is very efficient, even during busy lunchtime hours. The fact that it’s always packed shows how popular it is with locals—I believe it’s a well-renowned spot in the area. Located in a very convenient spot in Watford, it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for quality Italian cuisine. Highly recommended!”

“The decor may be a bit dated, but this is the best Indian restaurant in London. Delicious curry, clean food, incredible value-for-money. The search is over. Go there.”

“Absolutely Outstanding! Soor Lebanese Restaurant exceeded all expectations — from the warm hospitality to the incredible flavours. Every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with authentic Lebanese taste. The hummus was creamy perfection, the grilled meats were tender and juicy, and the freshly baked bread tied it all together perfectly. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. The ambience was elegant yet relaxed, perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. Highly recommend to anyone looking for genuine Lebanese cuisine done right — can’t wait to come back!”

“We had breakfast here before visiting Harry Potter Studios and had a friendly welcome, great value good food and the best coffee I have had in a cafe ever. Honestly, I wish I didn't live 100miles away!”

“Really nice food. We ordered for take away. The waiting time was not very long, for 3 dishes we've been waiting around 10-15 min. We had a picnic in the park, the trip took us 15-20 min, when we arrived the food was still very hot and delicious. Very nice serving and packing. Definitely we'll try again next time.”
