L'amore in Waveney

Today my granddaughter and I visited L’Amore because it looked inviting. We really enjoyed the sandwiches because they were proper sandwiches with tasty fillings of smoked salmon, cream cheese and crispy lettuce. They were a manageable size without tons and tons of unwanted salad on the side, just a small pot of coleslaw. All very nice. The service was friendly and the price very reasonable for sandwiches, desserts and drinks. My only criticism is that I was not asked for contact details for Covid contact tracing. Some cafes do this and I wish all cafes did - it’s the only way it will work. Otherwise a very pleasant lunch.

Good vegetarian breakfast and fish & chips, smooth coffee, clean loos and friendly helpful staff, what more could you want? Tables outside in the sun.

Enjoyed delicious vegetable soup & baguette, roast lamb dinnerwith al-dent veggies. Good coffee and tasty cheesecake . Excellent, cheerful service this was our second visit. Was suggested to us by a local in one of the shops.

Had a very nice meal in here. Reasonably priced, even let us sit in downstairs with our (will behaved) dog as weather wasn't great. Will defiantly be visiting again soon.

Three of us popped in for a snack. Ended up with a great sandwich, omellette and brilliant breakfast. Presentations were excellent and service superb. A little gem just off the main street in town. Choices varied and real coffee. Very clean and great staff. Can eat outside and watch the world go by when fine also,

Great greeting from the staff. Shown to my table and given the menu. Chose a jacket potato. Arrived within minutes. Along with some apple juice. Mains nicely presented. Lovley salad. Throughly enjoyed my lunch. A feedback check was made by the owner.Nice venue. Seating outside. (Was full when I arrived and still was when I left)Upstairs seating as well. Nice friendly atmosphere. Huge choice on the menu. Lovley staff.Well worth a visit.

Went in with my wife & daughter on a day trip to Lowestoft. Very nice restaurant & we were served by a very nice lady!Decided to have a "build your own" breakfast rather than a set breakfast & it was excellent as was the coffee!

Had lunch here on a very hot day. Nice to sit outside but not much of a view. Service was good but the food was only average.

We stopped off this morning and created our own breakfast. Delicious food, great quality and staff very friendly worth the money

Wanted somewhere for a nice lunch, and found this place. And glad we did!We sat upstairs, and it was lovely, beautiful furnishing and decor.We shared a plate of cheesy chips which were lovely, and I had a cheese baguette with a little tub of coleslaw and my husband had chicken tikka and mint baguette.There was a mishap with our original meals as the chef dropped the plates! He came up in person to apologise to us which was nice of him but accidents do happen!!All in all, the food was lovely and good service.Nice to have 80s music on in the background too. And the bathroom/toilets were very nice!

First time in Lowestoft for 30+ years so unsure where to eat but wanted to try a local eatery. Very unassuming from the outside but once inside the staff were very friendly and the food was DELICIOUS. Can't wait to come back next year.

Came here again as the food was so lovely. Best place to sit outside upstairs....not anymore? (Safety reasons) Shame though as it will be the last time. We came here last Wed lunchtime and as 3 of of us, ordered a bottle of wine as it would be more economical. The poor waitress came upstairs with just 1 glass? She said that was all they had and did we want to order another bottle of something else? Cut a long story short (after asking for another 2, No red or rose) we ended up with the only white bottle they had. Food was amazing!! But, when we went down to pay, the manager lady asked her son in front of us if we had had paid for the "Said glass of wine"? Sorry we ordered a bottle because it would be cheaper! We had already left a tip worth more than the glass.

Great food at a good price. Hidden off the beaten track but not far from the main high street. Quick friendly service, clean environment and delicious food.

What a find! Been to Lowestoft a few times & never noticed this lovely little place before, it’s just off the Main Street so easy to see. The BEST fish & chips at a really good price, excellent service the staff where so friendly, we had to sit outside as we’d got our dog with us, they offered to put the patio heaters on even though it was warm enough without. All that’s missing is a sea view. Don’t think we’ll ever go to Lowestoft without having lunch here.

Called in for lunch ordered veggie breakfast. Took an age to be delivered and was tasteless greasy and badly presented. It actually caused me an upset stomach. Avoid this place ar all costs

Lovely little place to visit great food and great service. Hot and cold food. Great baguettes and atmosphere

This little cafe is tucked away of Surrey street and have visited a few times with friends and family. Meals are very good at reasonable prices and staff very friendly and efficient . Would recommend to everyone

Lovely little place to eat. Friendly staff. Mostly I have had a light lunch and always good but the lasagne was tasty. Reasonably priced.

We visited L’Amore twice during our visit to Lowestoft & Outon Broad. On one day it was for coffee, and on another for a cup of tea. Both were very nice, and both were very good value.

The latte was very pleasant but very small but not expensive. Service was prompt although I dislike being served by a person with nose rings that look like they need a handkerchief. We sat outside in the sun but there were fag ends everywhere and said waitress refused to clean up and seemed satisfied with the area looking like a refuse tip.

I was greeted by very friendly and polite staff. Excellent choice of sandwiches and very reasonably priced. My sandwich was a generous portion which was made to order. Great place for lunch. Thanks

Tijd om terug naar Nederland te zeilen dus nog even bij l’Amore langs voor een goede bodem. Klassiek Engels ontbijt met worst, spek, ei, koffie. Helemaal af en goede bediening. Een aanrafer voor elke overzeiler.

Brilliant late breakfast, sausages and bacon to die for. When in Lowestoft it's the only place to go. Service non intrusive. Good value.

First time been to Lowestoft in years and came across this lovely place so very impressed Lovely and friendly staff

I discovered this little restaurant down a side street in Lowestoft. There was a good choice of food, all made to order on the premises. The quality was good and my sandwich was delicious. There were salads to choose from and lovely cooked meals. The staff were friendly and meals served promptly. If I lived in Lowestoft I would be a frequent customer. We noted that quite a few were regulars, returning because of the standard and price of food here. A little gem !

Lovely food at great value (dishes are mostly around the £5 price range), the staff are very friendly and helpful and the decor is nice. My partner had a cheese burger which was home made and looked as nice as any ordered in Gastro pub, and my lasagne was delicious.

A smallish place tucked away off the main street but very easy to access. Staff are excellent, very helpful and attentive. Food is freshly prepared and well presented and is very good value. Down side, if it is one, they only accept cash payment. Hole in the wall opposite so not too much problem

Met my wife for lunch and decided to try this place out for the first time. Service was good, we just had sandwiches and a drink, but the food was really nice and tasty and made fresh in front of you. Thought the prices were a bit steep, but that's the price you pay for a bit of quality. Would happily go back.

Set slightly off Lowestoft high street it's easy to miss but take the time to find it and you won't be disappointed. There's a wide choice of everything from sandwiches / baguettes / paninis through multi-choice breakfasts and on to meals.

L'amore is a loveley little coffee shop/cafe in Surrey Street - just off the town centre.

Excellent service, the food was lovely - highly recommend the burger, it's one of the nicest I've had in any restaurant / pub. The person with me had an all day breakfast - good quality sausages - always important! The service was polite and quick and the restaurant and the facilities very clean, and the prices really reasonable.

Felt very continental sat out on the balcony having lunch. Very reasonable prices for excellent food. Between the four of us had sandwiches , baguette and panini. Great selection of fillings and a generous side salad. Kids loved the Oreo milkshakes. Would def recommend a visit here.

We originally had headed to the nearby Wetherspoons but waiting times for a meal there were about an hour, so we wandered out and found L'amore which is not too far away.

Stopped here for brunch. Good food and service, staff very, very pleasant and friendly. Lovely inside decor. Reasonably priced - good value.

we sat upstairs on the balcony. It was nice. Staff need to smile at customers as we felt a little uncomfortable when we first walked in.

Very efficient and helpful staff, nice clean and pleasant interior (would love to go back when the balcony is open), and very reasonable prices - highly recommended

Stopped off for lunch, very friendly efficient staff, clean and tidy, food was excellent value for money, would definitely recommend.

Friendly, helpful service. Clean facilities. Somewhere comfortable to while away the time with inexpensive coffee. We were heading for lunch out so didn't eat here but the food we saw looked fresh & good & loves of choice on the menu

I ate here on valentine's day with a friend and her autistic teenage son, who hates eating in new places. All our regular eateries were packed, and then we came across L'amour. Extensive menu, lovely clean premises ( good to find attractive clean loos!) and friendly attentive staff. It was very busy but the food arrived quickly, looked good, and was very tasty. My friend's son heartily approved, and we will be going back again. Highly recommend.

I went to L'Amore after waiting over an hour for a tepid cup of coffee and a meal that didn't arrive at the new Kerry's Café in town.

I go here regularly for a healthy alternative to Macdonalds, subway etc. The food is always freshly prepared and generous portions. The menu is extensive and varied and reasonable prices. Service is always prompt and friendly. The place is always very clean and the owner watches over staff to keep standards high. Highly recommended.

We live close by and have a couple of usual breakfast places. The favourite we had just missed their cut off and we had been rather brusquely turned away from the second.They were too busy with half term tourists, who they doubtlessly won't see again, well they won't see us again either because we'll be at L'amore. We have seen these premises change hands a couple of times and never been tempted inside before. Well, I'm glad the others did turn us away. The restaurant has been beautifully refurbished to a very high standard and is very clean and very tidy. We went upstairs and it is equally as nice upstairs. The staff are all very friendly and couldn't be more helpful. We had a D.I.Y breakfast which means you can choose your own components and it was delicious. Lovely fried bread which is not on offer very often these days. We used the facilities before we left and they were spotlessly clean and very nicely presented. We will most certainly be back.

Lovely little bistro, run by excellent pleasant friendly staff. The food we ordered arrived quickly and was FRESH and HOT. Would have liked to try other dishes on the menus but it was our last day in the area so it will be on the itinerary for our next visit down here. Had to use the facilities and they were very clean and well stocked, going to knock a point off as the radiator was off and it was a bit cool, sorry!. Overall a good experience and would have no hesitation in recommending this bistro.

I've been here twice now and both times I have been really impressed.

I went there with my family, we got seated straight away, got given menus. when ur food arrived it was piping hot which is a good thing because most serve it warm. I had a queen peach smoothie which was cold and fruity. we had a lovely lunch. I would recommend the Chicken curry and rice.

Lovely lunches with friendly service. Food all fresh and nicely presented - salads are great and reasonably priced

As the title states, very well priced menu. All freshly prepared in very clean surroundings. Very good selection of meal options. Made my wife and I and 2year skon very welcome. Well worth finding. Only payment method is cash.

Clean Friendly Fab choice for a café Low cost Served well ,presented excellently wish I lived nearer, I'm extremely fussy. Keep up the standard ..Many thanks

L'amore recommended to us during our 253 mile in 24hrs charity ride on July 8th, we had done 140 miles when we found l'amore. Friendly staff and the finest coffee and food to die for. also they gave me my dinner free for the work we are doing. Very kind and much appriciated. A gem of a place in the city centre. A true find and. Must visit

Lovely little place, good selection on food and drinks menu for everyone1 Service was friendly and attentive. Food was good and plentiful.

Fab sandwiches, coronation chicken especially! Lovely friendly service. Will return soon with the kids! Menu is surprisingly varied. Definitely worth a look for lunch!

The burgers in this place are all homemade so so good! All the food is fresh and fairly priced. There is plenty to chose from and lots of puddings or cakes just for an afternoon tea. The place makes you feel like your sat on holiday not in town and its tucked away down a quite side road. If you haven't been already you need to go! The staff are amazing and they make the place what it is, you do a really good job!

Great food. Great atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and attentive. The burgers are amazing and the prawns are even better.

Had lunch here with my elderly parents, who go fairly often. The owner lady was really welcoming and friendly - not just with us but with everyone who came in. She took time to chat with everyone for a moment and the other staff were attentive to our needs.

Great service, lovely food. Home cooked recipes too. Pleasant decor and clean toilets. You can see the kitchen as you enter which is a good sign. If a restaurant/ cafe is prepared to have a kitchen on view it has got to be clean! Failing that check out the toilets. Expect the standard to be upheld there too. My friends and I eat there nearly every week and have tried a few items on the menu, we have never been disappointed. I would have given five stars but sadly during cold weather it is a little chilly upstairs but not enough to stop us visiting, I keep my coat on my shoulders!

Immediate impressions of this cafe might not be great, as sadly the outside seating is monopolized by smokers, but inside its a very clean, smart cafe with extremely friendly staff, great food, and actually, the upstairs area is quite classy! Its just the sort of place to sneak off for a quiet lunch with friends, far enough off the beaten track to take a date, smart enough not to look cheap, yet very good value. Lowestoft has far too many cafes, but this is probably the best.

I had lunch here with my aged parents, who visit quite regularly. I thought the welcome, service, food and attention was excellent. The owner took time to speak with us and engage us in caring conversation for some time. And it wasn't just us; I saw her spend time with everyone who came in to eat. Most places are run on an impersonal, profit-driven basis. L'amore presents a straight-forward, honest and simple but genuine restaurant. I was genuinely impressed.

We stumbled across this restaurant by chance and I'm so pleased we did.

A great cafe finally in Lowestoft food is brilliant great value for money they have changed their burgers and they taste fantastic .. Homemade French onion soup was outstanding

It was great good great customer service, will go back again! I was very satisfied with everything and presentation of food was amazing!

Came here for lunch with my husband, mother in law and sleeping 2yr old in a Pram. They accommodated the Pram no problem and had good prompt service. But food was wrong and poor quality. The soup was very weak hardly any flavour at all. The coffee where meant to be latte but where way too strong and the hot chocolate was weak and watery. Asked for a simple Caesar salad was given something that was nothing near Caesar salad and was promptly told when I questioned it that it didn't have many ingredients so they added things. This means it's not a Caesar salad. And the sauce was nothing like it should be.

I visit L'Amore all the time. Won't go anywhere else. Such great staff, clean presentation and great fresh food. Highly recommend here to everyone I see!

We always call in for a snack when in Lowestoft. Really attentive staff and excellent value. Can't fault it. If full downstairs try upstairs, very clean and comfortable.

Great atmosphere, great good and great staff. As per normal they delivered a beautiful breàkfast, wil be returning

We have been in here a few times ,but ,twice we have been over charged ( rectified when we pointed it out ) so we now go elsewhere . Some of the staff do seem a bit ill at ease when serving and taking your order . The coffee is mediocre and the toast comes ready buttered ( i would prefer to butter my own ) . The toast is good value though and the upstairs terrace is quite nice

had french onion soup not as good as should be soup should of had more colour darker and should have cheese crouton
