Amandines Cafe Restaurant — Restaurant in South Norfolk

This was always our favourite place for lunch on a Saturday. The menu was always imaginative. However, we returned today after a gap of a year and although the dishes were still original, the Armandines salad consisted of a couple of leaves of lettuce, two slices of cucumber, two slices of tomato liberally sprinkled with raw garlic. Dotted around the plate were several desertspoon sized blobs of couscous type 'salads': one was beetroot, one was grated carrot, one was chickpea, one couscous and pepper, all flavoured with conflicting and overpowering herbs and spices. Even the potatoes I had with my Quiche (which was lovely) were spiced. Too many flavours and too many blobs spoilt what could have been a nice summer...

Met my mum for lunch last week. We both had quiche and salad as there were two different flavors on offer we had one each. Mine was blue cheese and broccoli, sorry can't remember the other one. There was a little wait but when it arrived what a plate full! Lots of yummy mini salads that weren't just pretty to look at but very tasty too. Sorry no pics as we were hungry! It was too much for my 80 yr old mother but the waitress very kindly wrapped up what wasn't eaten and we took it home. The cakes did look delicious but we had both had enough. Lots of people were doing takeaway cake so there is that option if you fancy it. If you are in Diss go and find this hidden gem. A real asset...

We visited this beautiful little gem at the weekend after a particularly long journey. We were about 20 mins prior to them closing, despite this they happily made us lunch and served us without rushing or making us feel guilty about them clearly having to remain behind longer to accommodate us. The food was beautifully tasty and they even gave water and biscuits for our dog. We have travelled ALOT and to be given this level of service and kindness is rare. We were very grateful and extremely impressed by the food and choice of vegetarian options. A beautiful eatery with wonderful staff. Highly recommend and will definitely...
