Les Amandines Vegetarian Restaurants in South Norfolk

Very unhelpful staff, unconcerned and unwilling to address customer issues. The teacup was dirty too!

We stopped here for lunch whilst staying in Diss for a couple of nights, it’s tucked away down a shopping courtyard and there is seating indoors and in a covered outdoor courtyard. The food was beautifully presented and delicious, even my meat eating husband loved it! For dessert we had bread and butter pudding and it was the best I’ve ever tasted, I am not normally a dessert/pudding fan but this was divine! Friendly waitresses too who were really engaged and proactive which seems rare these days! Wish we had somewhere like this near where we live!

I eat at this café every single week on a Saturday. I take all my family and friends that come to visit, there for lunch. The staff are wonderful and I've got to know them really well. Big shout out to Brian and Amelia for running such a well stocked and relaxing cafe. The food is amazing and they cater for me really well. I am coealic and try have a lot of choice for me and are really careful with handling my food. I love the rustic and bo ho look of the cafe, it's so interesting.

Great for a lunchtime whether you are looking for a snack or a more hearty meal. Great variety of options for everyone including kids.

I am not one to ever write reviews on trip advisor but I feel as though I need to share my opinion to stop others having the same experience! I visited Amandines last Saturday and I have never been so disgusted. I am a resident of Diss, and have been for the last 20 years. I knew about the place but hadn’t visited before ( due to being a meat lover!) so me and my wife decided to finally come in for a meal.When we arrived, we were told that there was no table and that we could not reserve one if we left and came back, I do understand this and because the place looked so lovely we decided to wait it out. When we were finally allowed in, we were ushered on a very sticky table inside their greenhouse, there was coleslaw all over the menus and when I asked a waitress if she was able to wipe it down she rolled her eyes at me! I opted for a Smokey panini while my wife had a hummus and tomato sandwich. The wait was ridiculous and I was absolutely disgusted to see both of the ladies in the kitchen without hair tied back, and even picking at food! This put me off immediately. The food was mediocre at best, and the coffee was nearly cold! One of the waitresses that was working ( a younger girl ) was genuinely very nice and attentive- but other than that the experience was one I do not want to relive. Not to mention the 10% increase ( that is apparently stated on the tables) but neither me or my wife saw it- probably because they had tucked it out of sight. I will not be returning.

Fab location with lovely service with the tastiest food. I would recommend Amandines to everybody who wants sumptuous vegetarian comfort food.

My suggestion to have lunch at Amandines was vetoed in favour of a nearby pub. We compromised and agreed to have coffee at Amandines, then lunch at the pub 🤨 We arrived, with dog, just before 12. A lovely welcome and nice table. We looked at the menu ( that l could easily eat my way through) - and both decided upon coffees. When the bombshell dropped. 'Let's just stay here. The menu could be fun' And that was that. A fabulous plate of toasted ciabatta with cheese and garlic mushrooms surrounded by lots of mini bites of explosive flavours. We didn't have room for dessert...so we'll just have to go back!

When we went in we didn't realise it was vegetarian (great for me, as no worrying about food being cooked alongside meat), my meat eating boyfriend was a bit dubious. We both had paninis & both enjoyed them, very nicely presented and very tasty. If I go back to Diss I'll go there again.

A lovely restaurant with superb food, super friendly staff and great ambience. Really enjoyed our lunch and our 2 little dogs were made most welcome too. Can highly recommend.

Went for lunch with my husband and our 2 dogs today. As a Coeliac I find eating out a real pain, most adaptable dishes are the same as normal just with things missing… not here! I asked if they had gf bread fully expecting the worst but was pleasantly surprised! My initial choice made of Soup I was then informed the soup had wheat in it, so that was a no! I decided on a toastie and salad, it was utterly delicious and the staffs gluten free knowledge was impressive! As it’s near our home, will definitely be back.

My daughter and I came into Diss for a beauticians appointment, we were early so had a quick look around and decided to see if Les Armandines had space for us to have a drink and light snack…the place was so busy! Every table taken inside and outside wow, busy atmosphere with Jazz music playing and bustling staff.

Amandines is about half way between my home in Essex and my sister's in Norfolk and used to be our favourite place to meet up as well as a regular stop off on trips to stay in Norfolk. My partner and I hadn't been since late 2019 and were really looking forward to lunch there yesterday. The menu looked good and the service was prompt. For the first time ever we sent food back as it was not properly heated. It was slightly overcooked, probably due to microwaving, but was ok when heated. What was not good was the fairly loud rock music accompanying the meal. We mentioned this to the waitress whose response was "A bit heavy for you" indicating that our age was the determinant. Actually a lot of it was from our era, just not appropriate. On checking later when I paid it was confirmed that this is now the music of choice. Sorry, we won't be going there again.

Discovered by accident while wandering around Diss. Wow! Great venue and beautifully presented food bursting with flavour. Probably the best lunch I've had out for years!

When you step through the doors here, be prepared to enter a slightly different universe… this eccentric, ever so slightly scruffy building is a calm oasis away from the dull, corporate sameness of most restaurants and cafes. Massively tall glass doors and windows, rampant plants, scrubbed wooden furniture… you’d be forgiven for thinking that you’d stepped into a hippy cafe in 1970s San Francisco or family-run restaurant in Southern France. The indoor courtyard is especially relaxed, with its glass roofed shaded by canvas sails in the summer, warmed by a cheerful wood burner in the winter. The food is all vegetarian and much of it is vegan too. Everything seems to be made from scratch. My favourite is their hummus platter, with a generous pile of granary bread fingers (toasted just enough) and a scattering of different antipasto and salads, many of them combining interesting and well balanced flavours. Just the right quantity for a lunch, with room for a scoop of handmade ice cream. The specials menu is seasonal and always has something interesting on it to try. Prices are very reasonable too. The hummus platter, ice cream and a sparkling cordial came in at under £15.00. Words of warning: The cafe is only open Weds-Sat and only during the middle of the day. And it can get extremely busy (a couple of times we’ve tried to get in, but they didn’t have a free table). But to me that’s a sign of success.

Was told this was a good place to eat, the website was a bit vague no menu very little info but photos of food looked good so thought we'd give it a try. Looked at the menu and it was all snackish food and nothing worth eating for a lunch, we got up and left. My friend said the food used to be very good but may be its changed hands since she was last there.

Moving to the area from Essex and walked past so stopped in for lunch. Didn't even realise it was vegetarian only! Thrilled to find a place like this and can't wait to return. Food was lovely and got far more than expected... And it was...

Great food, service and settling. Vegan food was fantastic too. Definitely worth visiting if you are in the area. The yard area is well presented, it transports you away to a london or holiday location :)

Lovely ambiance, friendly staff. Very nice food. All in all a good experience. Well worth going…I’ll happily go again when I’m back in Diss. It has taken me a long time to find a day when I could go….I wish I’d made the decision earlier.

Fabulous fresh food, attentive professional waiting service, warm welcome and specials board changes regularly. The ambiance of the courtyard is just wonderful. Don’t go anywhere else!

My son had searched for vegan/gf restaurants and suggested here for our lunch. It was amazing, staff were charming, food was sublime and lots of options for difficult me, quaint, clean and just lovely. Will be returning in a few weeks time. Am still smiling...

Had a delicious pre Xmas meal with work colleagues - the varied menu delighted us all and the daily specials alll come with fantastic flavoursome salad. Wonderful food and love the wood burner for extra warmth too!

Terrible the salad on my plate looked like a reconstituted frog. Nothing outside to say this was vegetarian. All cauliflower and other such goodies. Coffee so weak it was like water.

The most amazing selection of food with a changing specials board each day! Loved everything I’ve ever tried here

On a very cold, drizzly and miserable winter's day in Diss we needed a coffee to warm us up and this quirky cafe was exactly right. We loved the setting in "The Yard" with its old industrialised feel. The staff were very welcoming and friendly...

When visiting my sister we decided to go to Diss and what a great little town. Even better was this little gem. Service was super, food fresh and fabulous. The place filled very quickly at lunchtime so a very good sign on how popular this...

For those vegans who like good cooking & imaginative choices, this vegetarian restaurant should definitely be on their 'must-visit' list! Centrally-situated in a quiet courtyard with a well-stocked health food shop right next door!

I had the special which was asparagus quiche and salad with a glass of wine. It was extremely tasty and the staff are always so friendly. I will be going back!

Stumbled upon Amandines in Diss. The meal was so well presented, the colours, texture and taste was truly beautiful. With a family member who is an avid meat eater, to see him enjoy every mouthful and be blown away with his reaction to the flavours...

We had some sandwiches at lunch time and really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The staff were really nice too this place is a great alternative to your traditional cafe. Well done Phil&Sandx

Still a great restaurant! I went with eight work colleagues. One is vegan and she was disappointed by the lack of vegan choice but she told me this is typical of places that profess to offer vegan. Nevertheless, everyone loved the food. The ambience here...

First visit back and we had a fabulous hummous platter to share with Amondines usual tasty salads to accompany the hummous. Chunky wholemeal bread as well. Mmmmm so tasty, we can't recommend Amondines enough

We’ve been looking forward to coming back since covid closed Amandines and today we called in for lunch. I’m sorry to say the experience was disappointing. We sat on table 6 (indoor seating with glass doors overlooking the courtyard). The windows were absolutely covered in fly sick/poo- I would have expected something like the windows next to tables to be kept clean of fly dirt!). We were also charged £6 for a latte and child’s squash! When my husband queried the price of our bill they just said “yeah that’s right” but didn’t provide us with a receipt. It’s put me off visiting again :(

Absolutely delicious food, it never fails, and lovely lovely staff, love it here! I would recommend Amandines to anyone! Xx

Have recently discovered this lovely cafe which serves the most delicious cakes and lunches (even for a non vegetarian) lovely atmosphere. They do only take cash but there is a cash point nearby. Well worth the visit when they re-open in December.

Amandines is a well established restaurant in the centre of Diss serving good vegetarian food. The location is interesting and I have been eating there for many years. However since lockdown I believe it no longer gives value for money.Like all restaurants Amandines was closed during UK lockdown and is now open only from Wednesday to Saturday from 10.30AM to 3.00PM. Amandines is prone to unannounced closures; it accepts only payment by cash and reservations only for parties of 6 or more.Since reopening prices have increased and a jacket potato with cheese now costs £8.50 and a bottle of Coca Cola over £3.00 which means if six of you have a basic lunch it could come to over £60, which is payable by cash. In my experience these costs are in expensive compared to other local restaurants and are difficult to justify for a quick lunch with friends particularly with the added inconvenience of having to pay in cash.I shall not be going to Amandines again.

We try to get to Amandines as often as we can. We love the atmosphere in this place and even though we've eaten over 20 times the staff have always been very genuine and polite and friendly. The owners are very nice people and are really appreciative of our custom. The space always looks very orderly, clean and well looked after. But the best thing is the food, it is delicious, always!! Its flavoursome, creative, colourful with lots of amazing taste combinations. We eat out a lot and yet this is our favourite place to go for lunch. I heartily recommend this place to anyone wanting to find a great place to eat and to impressive their friends.

We love Les Amandine's. Service can be a bit on the slow side but the food is always worth the wait. We are not vegetarians but the tastes and textures of the food here are sublime. I am sure there are other good places to eat in Diss but Les Amandine's is special.

For someone who is an avid meat eater, I was a little dubious about coming here. However, I was amazed how tasty the food was with all the different colours, flavours and textures. Absolutely delicious. Quiche and Amardine's own salad was amazing.Think they're missing a trick by not opening of an evening though, as would i think it would be very popular.

I have been here many times and I am never disapointed. Great service, tasty innovative vegetarian meals served. Easily accessed when visiting Diss

A family meeting of six - 5 adults and an 8 year old. We decided on Diss as a central meeting place for us, two daughters, one partner and an 8 year old Grandson. Two of the party are vegetarian so this was an obvious choice. It was a bitterly cold half term Tuesday and it had not occurred to us to book a table. However after some negotiation with a couple occupying a table we managed to rearrange the tables in order for us to sit together. The menu was comprehensive and there were specials of the day on a blackboard. Although there was a good range of very interesting food on offer I chose a jacket potato with baked beans and cheese as this fitted in with my healthy eating weight loss plan. This was accompanied by the most delicious salad I have ever tasted. The rest of our party were equally impressed with their choices and even the fussy 8 year old enjoyed his peanut butter and jam sandwich!!!As a non vegetarian I would happily return to this little gem.

Great coffee as usual and lovely staff. Came on my own this time but usually come with my wifw. Love coming here 😍

A wonderful vegetarian restaurant with a good selection of dishes. There are also vegan dishes offered. Food plentiful and very filling. A little bit on the expensive side and payment is by cash only. However there is an ATM nearby. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

It took a while for us to be greeted when we walked in and a while for our table to be cleared once we'd sat down, but the food was delicious and plentiful. The salads accompanying many dishes were excellent and the mushroom goulash was as good as it gets. One thing to be aware of is they only take cash, not cards.

Yet another excellent lunch at Les Amandine's. Blue cheese and spinach quiche and the lightest chocolate fudge cake ever. My partner had a wrap stuffed with potato, onion and pepper curry that was just as good - I had to help her finish it! But it's the little side salads that really make the food here special. The restaurant oozes atmosphere and the young staff couldn't be more helpful. Perfect!

On a dull, grey January day. Walking through a bunting clad Norfolk yard on my way to Les Amendines, was truly like coming home. The atmosphere is warm and cosy, you’re greeted like an old friend, and you know you’ll soon be a regular.The food is exquisite, a homemade chilli, Brie melted on top. With no corners cut, a full Amendines salad complete with homemade coleslaw and so much more! The staff were more than happy to accommodate to any dietary requirements; and if required help you decide what to pick from, the only specials board that you’ll really want to hear about! Would 100% recommend!

We visited Amandines today on a Friday in Diss (Market day) the resteraunt was lit up on a grey day, music gently playing and starting to fill up with customers. The smell greating up was divine. I ordered a quiche with little roasted potatoes and lots of interesting and colourful extras. It was wonderful.

Have been a regular visitor for years. Such amazing hand made dishes, constantly changing menu and salads to die for in a beautiful setting inside and out and throughout the seasons. Staff are super helpful, funny and efficient. Great values, great food great setting what's not to like. Thanks for being a beautiful parrot among the flock of pigeons that is most eateries. Please open in Bury St Edmunds!

Lunch with a friend and my son. Staff were so friendly and good fun, the setting is just lovely and the food sublime. Quiche and the beautiful salads, as always, were so delicious and my son loved his smoky panini. It is without doubt, my favourite place to eat.

Lovely food, lovely setting in what I would describe as a warehouse? The service was warm and friendly and very knowledgeable, would recommend

I don’t usually write reviews but felt compelled to write this one as love finding little gems like this. Having moved to Suffolk a year ago this was our first trip to Diss and we’ll definitely be returning just to come here again. It was just a straight forward lunch of Panini and salad or so we thought but this was no Starbucks panini ....both myself and my non vegetarian husband thought it was incredibly tasty. I had the hot one and he had the smoked. The bread was delicious ....and the salad and homemade coleslaw made it even better...all with a friendly service. Having relocated from London food of this quality would normally cost triple the price. It’s so important to support our independent businesses and this one has got it just right!!!

It’s been a while since I have had the pleasure of dining at this gem of a restaurant tucked away in a charming corner of Diss. I’m pleased to say that everything was as delightful and delicious as I remember it. A happy atmosphere with a warm welcome from the staff and a bright, relaxed environment in the covered courtyard .

A group of us were looking for a place to meet each week for a social meal and to catch up on each other's news. After trying out several restaurants/cafes in town, we chose to stick with Les Amandines because the food, service and atmosphere are all superb. The staff are polite and attentive and make us feel very welcome. Now we wouldn't want to go anywhere else. Funnily enough, we have started noticing the same people coming back each week, so we're clearly not alone in thinking this is the best restaurant in town.

I visited this cafe recently, it is a wonderful gem of a place, with friendly, helpful staff, healthy, tasty food, and a fantastic ambience. Go early for lunch if you want your favourite dish tho, as it gets busy.....understandably! Can't wait to go back :-)

The restaurant, staff, and certainly the food are all absolutely spot on. Couldn’t have been more pleased with our lunch! The quiche and coleslaw were particular favourites of mine 👌 Fully recommend swinging by for a bite to eat.

Lunch on Friday was another wonder ... the Wild garlic and spinach Quiche was a true delight and the Pancakes were delicious. How Amelia gets so much flavour into her food is a beyond me, and always accompanied with a world class salad with all the flavours the other restaurants are seeking. We just had to follow on with two desserts that were superb. The staff and atmosphere were both welcoming and cheerful which contributed to a very pleasant time. We shared our table with a couple of ladies from Leicester, as the cafe was so packed. They were so taken with the food and atmosphere that they couldn’t stop singing Amandines praises on their first visit. Cannot thank Amelia and Brian enough for all the hard work and dedication it clearly takes to provide food of this quality on EVERY visit !!

We went early one Saturday lunchtime as we had heard it can get busy. It was lucky we did. Sadly we weren’t in the beautiful courtyard with its scrubbed pine rustic tables. But we did have a lovely, cosy table near the entrance. The food was amazing. Such a wonderful mix of spices and a decent sized serving. The waitresses were all helpful and friendly too. I would thoroughly recommend it - even my meat eater hubby was impressed!

As a firm omnivore, a few years ago I would have blanched at going to a vegan place, but it was brilliant. Not enough to convince me to give up meat, but encouraging!

I had such a welcome here yesterday, being a wobbly pensioner it is so comforting to have the door held open and then a supporting hand down the step.. Ikt is always like this, I never have to ask, it just happens. Then to find the lovely wood stove warming the whole courtyard, and to be there with such a big crowd as there was yesterday (market and sale day) is like being at a party. So we relished the amazing pomegranate G & T s, delicious, imaginative curry and quiche with Amelia’s jewel like salad and finished with afogato, perfection, thank you. I

This restaurant just goes from strength to strength; amazing food, cooked with love. Friendly staff, it has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Great for families and couples alike, we loved it!

What a lovely experience I have whenever visiting. I feel so welcomed every time I walk in the door, the staff are all very pleasant and helpful. And then it comes to the food, well it’s just the most fresh and wholesome vegetarian food you can find, and to add it’s amazing how frequently the menu is updated. Never can you get bored of this place! I’ll be back to visit soon.

Every visit to Amandines there is a unique and mouth watering menu that makes it hard to choose. The food is moreish and never disappoints, every bite is fresh and flavourful. My personal favourites are the Aranchini and the gorgeous curries, along with the raspberry bread and butter pudding that you can’t miss for dessert!! The waitresses in Amandines are welcoming and friendly which makes for a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant, not forgetting Amelia and Brian, who are so lovely and hospitable. The restaurant itself has a beautiful courtyard with a glass roof and green plants climbing the walls, which I love! As well as the wood burner in the colder months making it cozy and inviting!

On a family holiday in Norfolk I was lucky enough to be invited to lunch at Amandines and can't wait for my next chance to visit! There were seven of us in the party and we ordered a variety of dishes from the menu, every one of which was delicious. Particularly memorable were the quiche and the mushroom gratin. The meals were beautifully served and the combination of flavours was superb. It was fun to see the non-vegetarians in the party enjoying their meals as much as the two committed vegetarians. The staff were helpful, friendly and attentive and the courtyard setting was quirky and pretty. A memorable occasion!

I'm always worried that in a vegetarian restaurant people like me, who are not vegetarian, will end up still feeling hungry at the end of the meal. Amandines proved me completely wrong, the food was really good, with lots of different flavours in the food we chose and which was filling!

This has been a regular go to for many years and have to say never fails to be anything other than lovely, the menu is changed all the time so no chance to be bored with lots of new tasty dishes always appearing and desserts to die for , the actual environment is friendly and relaxed, the staff always lovely ,never feel rushed to eat up and move on either which is a bonus.

Lunch at Armandines today was first class,staff are always polite and helpful,food absolutely delicious.Great place to meet with friends or family.

Amandines in Diss is, in my opinion, one of the best restaurants in the UK. I cannot understand why it has never been put forward for an award. I have been lunching there ever since moving to the Diss area in 2013 and have NEVER had anything but a superb meal, plus wonderfully friendly and relaxed service. Every one of my visitors to the area have been taken there and all of them have been delighted with the whole ambience, the food, the service - everything. In fact they are all jealous that I have this wonderful facility on my doorstep. The quirky courtyard eating area is so attractive with the odd unmatched tables and chairs, plants and log burner for those cold days - one could be anywhere in the world. It is definitely a place to go if you feel down, because after being in the company of the lovely staff and eating the exquisite food, you leave fully satisfied and with a smile on your face. There is nothing about Amandines that I can say I like the least - it is all best as far as I am concerned.

Just had an unpleasant experience here. We visited a week ago to see if we could book a table for lunch, noting that we had a 4 year old and 1 year old so we’d need a highchair. We were told no need to book for a Tuesday lunchtime. When we arrived today, it was suggested we “find a table through there”. There was only one table available at the back of the restaurant meaning a number of trips between tight tables to sort out children, leave pushchair and retrieve highchair etc. We were not helped with any of this, so not overly welcoming for families, but there were two of us so we could manage. It was made less pleasant by the puttering from other customers and we began to feel unwelcome. Before we were able to sit down we were asked for our order but the waitress did agree to give us a few minutes. The highchair however was really dirty and sticky and unfortunately broken, as there was no strap to place between the legs to keep the child secure. We changed this, cleaned the new highchair (just as dirty) and ordered some drinks. We were ready to order food when the drinks were brought out but as we began to do so my daughter spilt her drink in her lap. She was soaked through and with how things had gone to that point, we gave up. We packed up our stuff, put the highchair back and my mum went to the counter to pay. Nobody said or did anything to help us and the only concern of the owner as we were leaving was whether we had also ordered food that we needed to pay for. It’s hard to describe how it made us feel so awkward. Going out with children isn’t easy but I haven’t felt like this in other places in town, or elsewhere. Really upset.

This vegetarian restaurant has been a landmark for years in Diss. It's still as good as ever with tasty innovative fare, friendly service and interesting spaces to sit and enjoy the food.

I have found this a great place to take visitors to for lunch - whether they are vegetarians or not. In fact I have taken a guest there who ‘doesn’t like vegetarian’ and he loved it. Very varied menu, quick service, no frills, incredibly tasty dishes - and home made ginger beer to die for.

Fantastic food, great service, staff obliging and happy. It gets very busy and rightly so, so get there early!

Fantastic restuarant with tins of choice for both vegeterians and vegans. The menu is full of origianal dishes. The staff are brilliant and the ambiance wonderful. This place is a personal favourite. For any vegeteriand or vegans visiting Diss this is the place for lunch

We have visited Amandines on many occasions and have always found the menu to be superb. The attention to detail with each dish is phenomenal and the taste of anything we have ordered is just delicious.

I visited here with a friend for coffee and a snack. Unfortunately the toasted teacakes did not arrive and when we brought it to the staff’s attention not only did they give us another cappuccino and apologise profusely,but they waived the bill. Excellent customer service and we will continue to come here as the food is excellent, the venue lovely and the staff friendly and helpful. Thank you.

First time here and we were impressed with the actual setting, ambience, layout, decour, etc, and as my wife is vegan we hoped for an enjoyable experience.

Have been here before and had no issue. Not amazing, not terrible.

I have visited several times only having coffee,this time I wanted something sweet and chose a dessert. As always the coffee was excellent the dessert was sublime.

Love the food, atmosphere and staff. Didn’t realise it was a veggie restaurant the first time I visited and have been back several times since. My new favourite place in Diss!

I love the food here it's outstanding. There is so much flavour. My favourite desert is the bread and butter pudding. It's so nice. Will visit again.

It has been a few months since eating at Amandines.

Quaint little place, full of character serving good quality, lovely fresh, delicious vegetarian food. I love it.

Stumbled across this place by accident. So pleased we found it, lovely welcoming place, friendly staff and the most lovely food. I had creamy carrot and lemongrass soup which was absolutely fab and my husband had Brie and cranberry sandwich with a side salad. My husband said his was really good too and he raved about the salad (something I’ve never ever known him to do as he’s not a salad person) definitely worth a visit and we will go back.

Have wanted to try Amandines for awhile and finally met a friend to have lunch. We were not disappointed. Located in a lovely courtyard - the cafe has a wonderful relaxed ambience. The staff were very friendly and the food very tasty with interesting flavours with the salad all at a good price. The only reason I have not given an excellent rating on this occasion was that our order was initially overlooked - however, staff were very apologetic and immediately offered complimentary drinks - the food then appeared promptly and was very enjoyable. Will most definitely return!

Lovely food . I’m not a vegetarian but would seriously consider it if I could eat delicious food such as I was served today

This is a beautifully presented restaurant serving excellent, home-made vegetarian food. I had the lasagna followed by chocolate fudge cake with ice cream. Full marks for presentation and for taste. We had a very pleasant waitress and service was efficient and friendly without being over-fussy. The whole atmosphere of the restaurant was calm and relaxing; a place to chill. I imagine it must be wonderful on the music nights. I would recommend Les Amandines to anyone who loves real food in an unpretentious setting.

Good vegetarian food prepared to order - far, far above average. It gets busy so come prepared to wait a bit - it’s worth it. Word of warning - no cards so bring cash!

I visit most Saturday mornings for coffee and cake and always enjoy the experience the food menu which I am yet to try looks delicious and interesting!

As a 3 month vegan I just had to try this highly recommended Vegetarian restaurant which didn’t disappoint me in any way.

Such a great quirky place, never had a bad experience, food always lush You can sit in the courtyard or totally inside was inside today so got to enjoy the lovely background music playing

We stopped at Diss on our travels and found this by chance. Absolutely great, a lovely atmosphere, huge choice of food and everything was delicious. Staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable when I needed to know the ingredients. If we lived here I would be a regular customer.

Food always beautifully presented and always delicious! Lovely staff really appreciate a vegetarian and vegan cafe as It makes for a lot of choice!

My friend and I like to meet here at least once a month... and it never disappoints.. The food is amazing. Beautifully presented and so tasty. Lovely friendly staff and lovely decor. There is no where else like it....highly recommended

I’ve visited this fabulous cafe many times over the years and it never disappoints! An ever-changing and creative menu, all served with their brilliant signature salads. A true marvel! Special mention for their lovely home made ice creams - it’s rare to find flavours that taste exactly as they should. The coconut and pistachio are particularly scrumptious! As always, we’ll be back!

my first visit and I will definitely be going back. The waitress was very helpful and polite, and the food was lovely. I had the quiche recommended by the waitress (think her name was Cathy) and very pleased I did. A hidden gem . I can't believe I've never been before

We visited as a family of 4 and really enjoyed our visit. The food was exceptional, the service was fantastic and the decor and ambiance was perfect. Wouldn't hesitate in returning!

lovely food for everyone, everyone is included as they have food for vegetarian and vegan! must go on your trip to norfolk, or if your a local! food to die for.

Sono stato a pranzo la settimana scorsa.

I’ve been coming to Amandines since it opened and have lovey every visit. Since moving away I’m a less frequent visitor but the community feel just keeps getting warmer. It’s worth stepping off the beaten track for a slice of shoreditch beardy charm that’s authentic and aged to perfection.

Stumbled across this amazing cafe whilst on a day trip to Diss. Ordered the hummus platter and a cheddar and chutney sandwich. Thought the prices seemed a little high but when the food arrived I quickly changed my mind. The food was beautifully presented, very generous portion and absolutely delicious. The mocha and homemade ginger beer were exceptionally good also. I’m not vegetarian or vegan but thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful and will definitely be returning to Diss to visit this cafe.

We enjoyed a lovely vegetarian lunch here. It’s situated in the part of town that’s known as the Heritage Triangle, the area having been recently revamped. Service is friendly and the meal was delicious and very enticing and colourful! Prices are very fair but take note that payment is only accepted in cash, though. The restaurant is slightly hidden away in one of the “Yards.” It’s a short walk, too, from the new boardwalk on the Mere.

Spent ages wandering round the centre of Diss looking for somewhere to eat and eventually stumbled on Amandines. I had no idea what to expect when I ordered chick pea and spinach tagine. It was wonderful and the side salad that came with it was quite imaginative. We weren't aware it was vegetarian when we arrived but we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals so even if you're not vegetarian I'd give this a try. Wait staff were all helpful and pleasant. Highly recommend.
