I’d heard good things about Amelie and Friends - a laid-back restaurant which opened in Chichester in the summer - and finally got there today. I really liked the chic and restrained interior (white tiled counters, stark wooden tables and utilitarian lighting) which was the perfect foil for the bowls of colourful, exotic salads and trays filled with enticing cakes. Lunch was simple and delicious. The blackboard was full of enticing specials like kedgeree risotto and twice cooked pork belly but we opted for the main and salad option where you choose from the variety on offer on the counter. The shaved fennel, kohlrabi and orange salad with poached salmon with dill mayonnaise was light and moreish leaving lots of room for some coffee and ginger cake with caramel butter icing - yum!
I’m a sucker for packaging and I love their fabulous retro takeaway boxes which feature the restaurant’s punchy branding. Naturally, we couldn’t resist taking home a brownie and plum pastry.
