Amandines Cafe Restaurant in South Norfolk

First time in Diss and finding this place was wonderful. Lovely atmosphere and all of the staff were very helpful and happy. Food was delicious. Cosy, buzzy vibe too. Well done and thank you.

Nice food. Great staff, fun place. Loved the vegetarian choice. It is a good place to eat.

Always a good let of specials, main course and dessert. Good drink selection. Very good flavours of curries. They're very nice with the kids

Friendly helpful staff. Delicious food.

Definitely visit again a little oasis, could not have been better. It's worth a visit to Diss just to come to lunch. Lovely surroundings plenty of room in the enclosed courtyard. Well done to the management/owners.

Friendly service, great food and drink.

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 to the town.

What a great place, the restaurant was airy, food fabulous and staff great. Will certainly go back again, when I am in the neighbourhood. Thank you. Highly recommend to others.

Love this place when in Diss. Would recommend the spicy cheese panini. Coffee excellent

Great food great staff and service.

Apsolute find. Would highly recommend this place. Amazing staff (no their stuff) food amazing sooo many flavours nice glass of wine if you fancy it. 5 stars for me. Well done.

All excellent. Highly recommend to others

Stunning space, very relaxed and varied menu all delicious 😋

Lovely, tasty delicious food, great atmosphere and attentive staff. We shall be back!

Marvellous cafe with enclosed courtyard that we could take our dog. Lovely people great food and service and superb background music!

My first vegetarian restaurant and food etc was great will definitely be going again and would recommend booking a table

Yummy vegetarian food in Diss. Worth going out of your way for. The salads and quiches are exceptional.

Absolute gem of a place! everything is so flavoursome and such a lovely setting. Great service which is very friendly. I can’t believe I have never been before and have lived here all my life!! (55)

A very special restaurant. Deserves a Michelin star!

I've come here for lunch loads of times and every single time the food has been delicious and the service had been wonderful. There's just such a great vibe at Amandines! It really feels like a special treat to come here.

I have never had a bad meal here. Even though I no longer live in the area, I still make trips to visit. The courtyard is lovely, all year round. Good selection of vegan meals and beverages. The curried soups are my favourite...and the giant scones. If you cannot use stairs to access the toilet the staff can direct you to their ground floor toilet. Everyone is always polite. The side salads are great, and substantial.

First visit to this restaurant, loved it , food was fantastic, my first experience of vegetarian meal and loved every mouthful. Very warm and welcoming staff,

My favourite place for lunch. Always delicious. Always friendly and always colourful. Love it!

Great place excellent food and value

Perfect place,food amazing,lots of choices

Armandines never fails to impress with its amazing vegetarian menu, the friendly and efficient staff, and great ambiance.

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 return again soon!

Stopped for lunch here. Nice food in a nice location.

Heating my dessert in a microwave was unexpected.

Good choice of menu. Desserts were not so good as the mains.

Best quiche in the world and best cheesecake I ever had 😋

I'm not a vegie but, my wife and myself had a Lovely pannini and salad today and it was great...the sevice and staff were lovely

I was very disappointed with my lunch. Ordered jacket potato which was extremely small and asked not to have beetroot on my salad and was told salads are all pre made but they could scrape it off. Salad arrived all stained with beetroot. Very disappointed.

My favourite veggie restaurant in Diss

It was very crowded and had a real buzz about it. The girls that served us were lovely but we stood at the door for ages while more than one waitress passed us before we were told by another customer it was 'seat yourself'. We then sat at a dirty table for ages before someone came and cleared it. We had to dig out our own menu from a pile of papers on the table. It was extremely busy so have no doubt it is a bit of a hot spot at Sat lunchtimes. But the friendliness of the young servers was great. I might return again...but this time with a bit of an idea of what I am walking into. Tea was good and scone nice and warm.

A great morning at amandines with great company my wife and mother in law

Always superb, simply the best veggie food in East Anglia I reckon, never fails to impress with a wide selection of yummy stuff on the specials board (don't even look at the printed menu!). Enjoy!

Fantastic place to eat great atmosphere highly recommend

Coffee was naff, bang average place, salad was mushy

A fantastic chance birthday lunch. Great service, wonderful food and an hour of Van Morrison's music....fabulous!

Always amazing food. So delicious and thoughtfully presented. It's one of my absolute favourites!

Just delightful...shared in a lovely cosy atmosphere 😊 thank you.

Been here only once for lunch so my five-star rating isn't based on multiple experiences. However, on this single occasion the food was delicious, the ambience in the sunny courtyard was perfect and the staff were very pleasant and efficient. I will be back!

Lovely cafe, but dislike the choice to host the conspiracy theory and anti-science newspaper, The Light. Copies are left for customers to read. Not my cup of tea.

Just stumbled across this delightful cafe on our first visit to Diss. What a delight 🙂 very friendly service and exciting food with lots of different flavours. Will definitely go again to try something else off the lovely specials board 😍

Absolutely topnotch cooking and great service in a fabulous location 🙂

Delicious beautifully presented food and s very welcoming ambience

Great vibe, fab music in the background, food was so tasty, spiced coconut and egg curry! 😋😋Definatley will be returning!

Just visiting Diss, we asked a local for a recommendation. Wouldn’t have found this delightful treasure without their hint. Tucked away, but totally on top of its mission - great food, attractive ambience and a team of people for whom nothing is too much trouble.

Lovely little place to eat. Freshly prepared dishes all great sized portions and delicious. Lovely friendly staff highly recommended for a bite when in Diss.

Attractive cafe/restaurant. Meal was delicious and well presented, selected from an extensive, varied menu. Staff excellent. Great music. Prices higher than average but justified.

A charming secret place not far from town centre. Fresh food and delicious cakes. Relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff.

Wonderfully tasty snacks,meals, drinks and cakes in an historic setting with friendly staff and customers. And all vegetarian/vegan. Perfect.

Great service. Tasty vegatarian food. Relaxed atmosphere with friends

Had a great lunch here in the courtyard under its glass roof. Food and service were excellent. Definitely will be back

Delicious homemade food and drinks. The salads were full of flavour and very fresh. The homemade ginger beer has a real kick to it! The service was fast and friendly. Can’t wait to go back!

Loved this place. And every dish was delicious. Highly recommended

The bread and butter pudding is out of this world!!!

Busy, but lovely meal, specially prepared for me to cope with many allergies.

My favourite go to Restaurant in Diss...healthy eating ...delicious eating!!!

Great location Great food Well presented

Lovely food, lovely staff and surroundings

Excellent service. Nice cosy atmosphere.

The food and organic sparkling water was excellent. I had a cheddar and tomato sandwich on wholemeal bread with a salad of hibiscus, noodles and beetroot with spring onion. The food was fresh and scrumptious and the staff gave exemplary customer service. Definitely recommend and I can't wait to go back

Lovely venue, so lucky to have found this in our first ever trip to Diss. Delicious food and excellent service. It is now my children's favourite restaurant and we will be coming back when next in the area!

Some of the worst service I've had anywhere..

The service and food are both excellent

Really lovely food served by really lovely staff. I am gluten free and there is a good choice for me (especially the bottled beer!). I've recently moved to Diss from London so am gradually finding new and exciting places to eat. This is fast becoming a favourite 😉

Excellent food. Quick service. Friendly staff.

Brilliant setting with wide choice of vegetarian and vegan meals. Unusual and delicious drinks too.

Excellent veggie/ vegan food. Even had choice of two vegan cakes today. Would be lovely to have an option of a vegan pudding as well. Staff lovely and setting beautiful courtyard. Good to see it full on a Thursday lunchtime. Worth the drive from Norwich.

Very nice little gem , will be using again

Beautiful food, generous portions, lovely puddings. Felt nice and open where we were seated and people were spaced out enough so it was comfortable. Everyone was super friendly and provided great customer service

The best vegetarian food I've had, and I'm a hardcore carnivore. Some of the food even rivals real meats. Food aside, the courtyard and the actual restaurant is enjoyable aesthetically. A great time for sure, the lunches are my recommendation.

Wow what a beautiful place to eat. Exc food and lovely service I will be back. Thanku

Not a vegetarian...but this place is wonderful. Great flavors and options.

Great food, very welcoming staff and quick service. The covered courtyard is light, airy and full of plants, with a wood burner that looks like it would be even more welcoming in winter

Fresh and different polite staff and very clean x

Dining in a glazed over courtyard with a high roof and brick walls, Amandines has a lovely atmosphere and reasonably priced food bursting with a wide variety of flavours. I had the spicy Panini which came with an amazing side salad and slaw, full of lots of different tastes. To drink, Cranberry and Hibiscus juice which was nicely balanced, just sweet enough without being overpowering. Service was very fast and friendly, an excellent stop for lunch.

Best place to eat in Diss and I am not even vegetarian

What a lovely warm welcoming cafe/restaurant this is, serving delicious and interesting vegetarian lunches at amazing prices. The curried mushroom soup was memorable as were the chilli pancakes and delicious and inventive salads. So glad to have found you guys.

Lovely vegetarian restaurant in a pretty courtyard .

Absolutely superb food and lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff. Highly recommend

Fabulous fresh and wholesome food with great ingredients and tastes. Staff are lovely and the setting and atmosphere is spot on.

Lovely food and atmosphere, very slow service though.

I love here. The opening hours are a little unhelpful (would be great to go there anytime) but other than that the food is well prepared and tasty, the staff lovely and ambience relaxing and cosy.

I wouldn't usually choose a vegetarian menu but will definitely re-think that after an amazingly tasty lunch at this fab little gem of a place!

Another lovely lunch again here. Always busy.

Delicious, nutritious food!! I've never had a bad meal here!

Just found this gem, down an alleyway, and so glad I did. Friendly, clean, super service, lovely music and the best carrot cake ever. Perfect place to stop for a cuppa and cake. Will be back.

Very accommodating of our dietary requirements; friendly staff; unique decor.

Lovely place and lovely food. I was served reasonably quickly but others were complaining about slow service. The waitresses were slow to take orders. My tea was quick to arrive but a piece of cake took 20 minutes.

They were closed when we went for a well deserved break

Lovely food great atmosphere especially in the courtyard

Great place for vegetarian and vegan good even if like me you are a meat eater!

Popped in for a delicious rich hot chocolate mid morning. Set in an unusual and attractive Victorian courtyard. Friendly attentive staff.

Nice tasty food, great atmosphere, good service

Extremely busy place! However some of the best vegetarian and vegan foods I have eaten! Great taste and flavours the menu has a wide choice. Nice staff and atmosphere would and will go again. Only down side is its cash only which being a first time customer I didn't know it was written in small txt at the bottom of the menu luckily enough I did have cash on me! Yummy food!!!!

Very nice place staff very pleasant and amazing food
