Ami Cafe + Bistro in Worthing

Litarally the best dessert I’ve had in my entire life! The entire was also amazing but holy crap the dessert was crazy good!

Enjoyed a lovely birthday lunch, very quite with not much atmosphere, also my pigs in blankets turned up with no blankets. Bit weird for a "Top class restaurant", should have taken them off the menu, not dish up 6 chipolata's. Hey ho

This was our second visit,well what can i say...perfectly created dishes,beautifuly cooked and presented. I do aim to try everything on the list. Sadly no food pics as i was too busy enjoying a lovely evening with fab wine. Service is professional and prompt. Overall i would say this is the best eatery in worthing.

Came with 5 friends and every plate was clean at the end - says it all! We ordered bread and balsamic vinegar, prawn crackers and home made tortillas to nibble on along with a round of lush cocktails whilst choosing the rest of our meal - proper cocktails with a kick too, none of this sugary nonsense now in many of Worthing’s cocktail bars. Felt spoilt for choice with the menu but the salmon starter was absolutely delicious and can’t see how it would be topped with a different choice next time I visit! Everyone in our group raved about their mains - pork belly, monkfish and fillet steak (which was cooked PERFECTLY!) We finished our evening with a cheeseboard and some amazing dessert cocktails. Mint matchmakers with an alcoholic twist? Yes please! There was a good selection of wines - can recommend the white Rioja - and service was efficient and friendly. Also loved the playlist in the background. Will definitely be back!

First class food,menu and service

Only down side is the price to be honest but other than that it’s a great place. :)

We had our annual Christmas meal here and I chose the Fillet Steak,Calamari, Blue cheese sauce, green salad and Dauphinoise potatoes, all of which was delicious. Prawn cocktail starter was best I've had in a long time.

Have been to Ami’s before and its always fantastic food and great service. The chefs are amazing and everyone i have taken has always been really impressed. Its a diamond of the Worthing food scene and deserves the recognition

We booked this restaurant to celebrate a special 40th birthday which I told the restaurant on booking. We had a lovely booth and the waiting staff were attentive. However our evening was spoiled by a table of 8 the other side of the room who were excessively loud. They weren’t youngsters but were so caught up with themselves and with their loud communicationthey had no thought to the affect their shouting and excessively loud talking had on other diners: .we couldn’t hear each other talking on our table as a result. The cocktails were sublime but the food was average and no way fine dining. If I wanted to eat spicy food I would have booked a table at a top Indian or Thai restaurant which would have been offered diverse, tasty, and better value dishes. Very disappointed as it was a special birthday but nothing special about our choice of restaurant. Sorry we won’t return.

Really great food, lovely ambience - definitely worth a visit. Bit more out of town but worth the effort

This place is consistently good. Great food & always beautifully presented. Well-thought-out menu with something for everyone. Staff welcoming and take time to explain the menu and offer recommendations. Nice wine and dessert options too. What's not to like?!

Lovli place very good fresh food.

Amazing food and amazing staff, you won’t be disappointed. And don’t skip on having a dessert either, they were sensational!

Absolutely superb from start to finish. Excellent, helpful, knowledgeable and professional staff. I have been fortunate for various reasons to eat in well over 100 different restaurants in UK, France, Italy and Spain this year and this would be in the top 3 of all meals. Four of us we had a tremendous series of high quality starters, mains and desserts - not fussy but all superb and incredibly high quality with interesting accompaniments. Even the coffee was way better than the average restaurant espresso or flat white. Worth booking ahead. Also, just to note, we visited on a very cold day and the restaurant was a pleasant warmth

Purely by chance found this place…seriously good food great staff ….go there!…u will not be disappointed….will definitely go again

Wow gutted it's taken us this long to find this little gem. Food lovely flavours and a good price.

After reading all the positive reviews this restaurant had a lot to live up to…………. And it did! A few observations other than the food was excellent. The place feels welcoming with modern decor and furnishings. The art was interesting. The cocktails were very professionally made. However this is a place to take your time, the food does not appear fast but that’s a good thing demonstrating the care with which it is prepared You will have a great meal, relax and enjoy.

Really loved this neighbourhood restaurant and can’t wait to return. The menu has great options for sharing plates - all of which were delicious. The desserts were amazing and worth saving space for. The staff were attentive and friendly and our table was well located being not too close to any others.

Just had an absolutely delicious meal here from unusual cocktails to start to sumptuous starters and mouth watering mains and followed by decadent desserts. If you haven’t been then this is a place for a special meal. Enjoy

A very talented chef food was amazing with great presentation. Friendly staff with a great atmosphere will definitely be returning

Services was very good and Cocktails were beautifully made. Booth area by the front is far too tight, didn't feel too comfortable at all. Food generally looks nice and fresh. Had Fillet steak and asked for medium, and it's a little over cooked, more like medium well. Peppercorn sauce and potatoes were spot on. 1st day of trading after their holiday break, so it's forgivable.

Amazing food, staff were excellent, didn't feel rushed or hassled! We will be back!

Excellent food, fantastic service and my cocktail based on what the chef drinks was just wonderful. A great restaurant, well worth the prices. Approx a tenner per starter and between 20 - 35 pounds per main and the quality was top class. I cannot say enough good things about Ami Bistro. A firm favourite.

Don't miss out on this excellent restraunt! A true hidden gem in worthing. We ate last night for the tapas deal which was excellent value for money, especially considering the quality of the food and service. Each dish was carefully curated, flavourful, and absolutely delicious. You can tell that a lot of thought and effort went into each dish. There are fantastic options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike (I tried every veggie option from the tapas menu - all of them were amazing but I loved the cauliflower the most!). We absolutely loved our meal at Ami and will be returning in the future. This restraunt deserves the hype of the town! Please do book and support this fantastic business 💜

OMG!! What a fabulous place. From the moment we entered to when we left everything is on point! The food is simply delicious, presented beautifully and a real taste sensation. If you’re looking for a fine dining restaurant this is the place to go. The whole restaurant works as a team to present a wonderful and memorable dining experience. We would return in a heartbeat!!!!

I am at a loss why this wonderful restaurant isn't full every single night of the week. The food is incredible, the service is perfect and the setting is very nice too. 👌

Stunning food and amazing service! Went for lunch and it was incredible. Will 100% be going back! Best restaurant in Worthing!!!

We have just had our second visit to Ami Bistro, and like the first visit the food and service was fantastic. This time we had a table of six family members, we had after meal comments like “that’s the best meal I’ve had in Worthing”, “outstanding food” and we will go there again. Well done to all involved at Ami’s Bistro we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Wine list deserves a creditable mention.

I cannot praise the restaurant and the team enough! We were celebrating my Dad’s 70th birthday, and 3 of us arrived early, 2 of us arrived half an hour late 🙄 the staff were patient, attentive, we got set up with nibbles and drinks while we waited for them!! 🤪 Anyone who served us was charming, our starters arrived (they wanted to make sure we weren’t disappointed and to maybe order ASAP as a larger table had pre-ordered, and warned us there might be a wait for our food if we held off!) we had the Brie, the ham hock (highly recommend!) and the calamari - then for mains we had the sea bream, pork belly, chicken supreme and 2 lamb (ALSO really recommend!!) If I asked for their opinion on which dish out of 2, the staff were right every time! 👌🏼 A perfect spot for a special occasion or a fine dining meal out in a hidden gem of a spot - thank you, you made our evening really memorable and easy - thank you so, so much!

Beautiful food, lovely restaurant. Friendly staff. Tables didn’t feel overlooked or too close to anyone else. Staff not imposing. Really lovely time.

Food is outstanding but now priced out of my range. Such a shame as it has been a regular haunt. Also we had to interrupt the chat between the only 2 people working to place our dessert order having waited a considerable time for them to stop.

Nice food Good location Really lovely staff Had a good chat with team here as we are thinking about which coast to move to

A really nice restaurant. Amazing service Good food Would highly recommend a visit here if you are visiting Worthing

Be sure not to mistake Ami Bistro’s single page of starters as being the lunchtime alternative to their a-la-carte. For, out of the most forbearing respect for the customer’s prerogative, the management will not so much as hint that sir and madam may have forgotten to order main courses. You, on the other hand, could find yourself leaving both pleased yet vaguely less sated than you would have wished, never to know how the pleasure you’d had from your choice of the chef’s delectable offerings was pretty well guaranteed to continue. This was possibly the case last Friday with a couple at an adjacent table, as the manager surmised when we wondered why our main course orders had not yet been taken. The thing is, it’s as much the chef’s well-deserved pleasure at pleasing you as yours in being so pleased. Parking's a pain, but don't let that put you off . . .

We had a very good meal for four and all enjoyed every choice from the menu and some nice wines. The experience was spoiled by the waiter being less than honest when challenged about a Prosecco order. The menu shows a 200ml bottle of Prosecco for £10. The waiter brought a single 125 ml glass of Prosecco. When asked for the 200ml bottle ordered he claimed to have poured out the Prosecco from the 200ml bottle over at the bar. Clearly not possible as 200ml gives you at least 1 and a half glasses making it worth £10. Really disappointing that he was not honest with us and that he still charged us £10 when he knew we had spotted what he had done. Shame.

Was very disappointed by the food. The menu looks great but only on paper. I took the pork belly and ended up with 2 tiny pork piece on my plate...there is nothing extraordinary about the food and that's a shame as it is quite expensive. The service is great, nothing to complain on that part but the food is not...

Easily the tastiest food I've eaten out before. I'm genuinely concerned I will never have a better steak!

We love this restaurant and the food and service is always awesome. The spring menu pulled pork is my new favourite.

Always a pleasure to eat at Amis ! Amazing food, warm & welcoming staff. A hidden gem in Worthing. One of the best restaurants in Worthing for sure .

The food here is simply outstanding. You would struggle to find a better restaurant on the South Coast. The service from Ryan is excellent, there is a lovely feel about the place and you can really feel the passion that has gone into creating delicious plates of food. Choosing what to eat was the hardest part, it all sounds and looks so amazing. Simply brilliant, well done Ami Bistro. Certainly Worthings No.1

Excellent service from great happy staff. All 3 courses were seriously good. We'll definitely be back.

Pre ordered for seven people , absolutely excellent staff food everything 👍🏻served by the lovely Shannon and Ryan . I do not hesitate in recommending this restaurant.

Melhor bistro que já fui na vida ! Comida deliciosa, atendimento excepcional!!!

First time here after discovering through Trip Advisor. Loved the food and the ambience is perfect for couples and groups. Staff were super friendly and very helpful. Would thoroughly recommend this hidden gem!

Amazing food and service. Every course was incredible and our server was so lovely and accommodating with some specific dietary preferences. We will definitely come back again. Thank you for everything ❤️🌲🎁

Being on our doorstep it is always a pleasure to walk to this little gem. Offering three starters as an option is a great success with us. Still my favourite restaurant but Please give us proper napkins!

Outrageously good food. Definitely a treat for your loved ones ❤️

We have not visited this divine restaurant for a while due to circumstances. We were delighted to find the same impeccably high standards of service, food quality and imaginative menu as before. The food is so delicious that I didn’t want to finish my meal....

Nice atmosphere. Food a bit greasy.

Great food to choose from, Presented brilliantly and very tasty, Cocktails were also great , Very friendly and helpful staff.

Absolutely incredible. The food was divine and the service was exquisite. The cocktails were phenomenal! Highly recommend.

Amazing restaurant, excellent attentive staff. Great selection of wines and the food is outstanding. Enjoyed a lovely evening there last Saturday. Highly recommend. Five star quality.

Great service and excellent food

Evening meal with friends on a weekend evening and we found this venue was busy with a friendly vibe about the place. Warm greetings and immediate service re drinks etc.. Good variety of menu and plenty of options which is why it took us a...

Me and my husband came here for our 1st wedding anniversary dinner, and it was amazing, dining experience was very private, you sit in booths so you can't really see any other diner which I love, we shared 3 starters had a main each and a dessert have no faults with anything, it was all delicious and service was top notch, we'll definitely go back.

Beautifully presented food, well-balanced, perfectly seasoned but unpretentious. Good gluten-free options and knowledgeable staff 6 stars for the excellent service - our waiter was personable, knowledgeable and helpful. He was especially kind and patient with an elderly and rather confused guest. Thank you.

Food was pretty good but not spectacular. The service was too quick that we didn’t feel relaxed and it all felt a little rushed. I asked to put the table back 30 mins but they said they couldn’t do that because there was a mad rush at that time, but the restaurant was half full.

My wife, myself, our son and daughter in law came to Ami Bistro last night to celebrate my sons birthday, and from the minute we arrived, we were given a warm and courteous welcome from Ryan the manager and shown to a lovely table with...

We have been to ami bistro a few times and always loved it. This time we went with our parents who hadn’t visited before and it was so great to go with them! Dad said “that’s the best meal I’ve had in at least a...

Seriously lacking in atmosphere.

Our 2nd visit, the food was excellent, it really was, service and atmosphere was just great. Such friendly, accommodating staff. We would recommend a visit

We visited on Saturday night and had a warm welcome when we arrived. Not being a huge fan of spicy food, I wasn't sure if the Jerk chicken would be too spicy for me. Nikki arranged a little taster for us to try which was...

Went in to Ami this evening on the off chance. They do not take 'off the street' bookings. Went to Limings instead & had a great meal. On the way back there were empty tables at Ami. How pretentious. Will definitely never go there again ever!!

Second time visiting Ami Bistro and this time was for a Tapas and Wine tasting menu. The food here is exceptional, so big hats off to the chef and the vibe is very relaxed, but trendy. Highly recommend if you have not been - great combination of friendly staff, good service and just amazing food without breaking the bank. Thanks Ami Bistro for a great evening, look forward to the next time!

A must dining experience in Worthing. We came for a Spanish themed night with a great local sommelier. The quality, presentation and portion sizes are incredible. Very friendly and attentive staff. Great value for money. Couldn’t fault them, will be coming back again and have been recommending to everyone!

Indifferent reception bordering on coldness Food was fine but certainly not exceptional Not particularly good value for money Having read a number of the not so good reviews on Tripadvisor after our visit, I am amazed at the spiteful and vindictive response the owner evidently...

Good food and hard to fault that. And I must say the service was also good. Only drawback is the constant piped music in the background. No need for that when the restaurant has a nice hubbub of general chit chat.

Dined here yesterday evening, everything was great from help with wheelchair to very welcoming and attentive waitress. Food was amazing all six of us said we would come again. Well done.

Went for my birthday while we were on a weekend away from London. All I can say is that the place was perfect from start to finish. It took me a while to select a restaurant from quite a large choice in the area, but...

First of all it was air conditioned!!!. The decor was stylish modern and welcoming. The staff were all very upbeat and super friendly, very knowledgeable about the food and drinks. Checked that everything was ok for us without being too in your face while eating....

AMI - (Amazing Meals Inside) Bistro. What an amazing surprise our friend from New Zealand had when revisiting this restaurant in Worthing. The modern deco style was inviting, in a relaxed environment with friendly staff met by Ryan on arrival who showed us to our...

Absolutely amazing food and service. Definitely the best place to eat out in Worthing

Easiest review to write ever, simply the best! We went for their date night menu which included chateaubriand with garlic prawns, calamari, roasted veg, potatoes and three sauces (peppercorn, red wine and blue cheese), every bit full of taste and perfectly cooked, loved it. Had...

As always the food and service at ami were spot on again this evening. Food was cooked to absolute perfection. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Had a chat with the manager and he said they are struggling to get custom during the week which is...

Love love love this place. Fabulous food, wine, service and atmosphere. You have to go to find out what a gem this is. Recommend 100%

Had a surpurb meal here last night. Tasted as good as you get in high end fine dining restaurants presentation fantastic and good friendly service cannot recommend highly enough you will not be disappointed

Had dinner there last night which proved to be one of the best meals I have ever eaten anywhere, let alone in Worthing! My mussel starter, salmon pasta main and strawberry coulis sweet were all presented to Michelin star quality, both visually and flavour. The...

Simple menu optimizing local cuisine /seafood. Excellent wine selection and service that was efficient but unobtrusive.

We are here again and had the small plates. Some of the best food I have had in the county which includes high end priced estasblishments. A jewel in West Worthing. Coctails are great and wine list extensive and kept my wife happy who is...

We've just had the most amazing evening at Ami Bistro. Great service and wonderful food, what more could you ask for? Calamari and whipped goat's cheese crostini to start with, both delicious. A perfectly cooked fillet steak for Mrs B and the sea bream for...

We keep going back! Absolutely delicious food and wonderful service from Ryan and Shannon. The chefs are very talented. We are truly in awe of them all. The jalapeño nibbles as a starter are amazing and we find something for everyone - vegetarian options are...

Six (6) of us had dinner there yesterday evening at around seven pm. The food was great. The weather was good.

Visited friends for the weekend. The food was lovely and great value for money. Staff were friendly and helpful. Hopefully return one day.

Really nice welcome, food and drinks. So nice to have decent resturant at this end if town. Thank you. Would def recommend.

In Worthing for a family do. Celebrating father in laws birthday. Great restaurant. Good well cooked tasty food. Service was friendly and helpful. If this place was closer to where we live we would be regulars. Thank you Ami Bistro.

Superb food in this contemporary bistro restaurant. Good service and the food was delicious. We had Goats cheese crostini and lamb meatballs for starters. With mains of Duck breast and rump of lamb. Tempted by desserts but gave it a miss, save that for next...

Lovly meal out with my family. Food was absolutely superb, staff were efficient and attentive. Really couldnt fault it. Looking forward to returning soon.

Visted for lunch a few months ago (forgot to add a review) so after a dinner over this weekend, made sure to share with you! Truly wonderful place to dine with family and friends whatever the reason. Welcome was warm and with a smile behind...

Great friendly service and atmosphere, food was just amazing, fabulous place to come, the food was so good we will come back again

I booked Ami for my Partners birthday as we had always wanted to go there. I pre ordered the ChateauBrianne and it was amazing, we went with the chefs recommendation for how it should be cooked and it was perfect. We both said that the...

We have been staunch fans of Ami since day 1. The food is always amazing and that hasn’t changed. However, on this occasion I have to say the service was quite slow. A 1915 booking with no food orders taken until 2000. Service remained very...

Went there for a Sunday lunch and the food was amazing, well presented, looked fresh and taste was lovely, definitely recommend, the staff were polite and a nice bunch... Definitely will be going back..keep up the good work

My wife and I went to scout out this restaurant because we are planning to have a large family celebration. We were not disappointed. The restaurant is family owned and several of the family work together in the place, always a good sign! My wife...

Lovely food. Great cocktails. Fab service. Didn't complain that we were last out. It's not cheap. But it's a great meal.

We enjoyed a lovely night compliments of Ami! We shared the calamari starter and immediately regretted it as I wanted the whole thing. I chose the filet and it was simply amazing. Seared and seasoned perfectly. I did ask for medium rare and it was...

First visit, lovely friendly staff, amazing food

We've been living in Worthing area for more than 7 years and finally decided to try Ami Bistro. I'd heard good things so decided to be adventurous and try for ourselves. Absolutely delicious! Service from Ryan was excellent. We ordered calimari and brie starters -...

We expected good food, but didn't expect to be wowed the way we were. The food was absolutely exceptional! The staff were warm, friendly and attentive - 100% would go again anyday of the week!

Wow! What a lovely surprise,you can tell this is run by a family that cares,which is why we never eat in Chaineys,the food ,service & ambiance is fantastic here. This restaurant would knock the spots off most top London restaurants easily. Shannon our waitress was...
