Officially opening on 31st January on Spitalfields’ Artillery Passage, near Liverpool Street, L’Ami Malo brings a taste of Brittany to the capital with a menu primarily made up of contemporary galettes and crêpes.
The 1,140 square foot, 54-cover restaurant and bar is split over two floors (30 upstairs, 24 downstairs) and features interiors by ADMerlin Design Studio.
Combining the rustic traditions of France with a modern, stripped-back urban feel, a large quantity of reclaimed timber features has been used on the walls and floors. Low-hanging pendant lights with a brushed-copper finish harmonise with upholstered seating clad in blue-striped, vintage French fabric.
An open-plan kitchen with bar seating allows guests to watch the chefs in action or pull up a stool at the central reservation Le Moulin cocktail bar. The downstairs space is available for private hire with canapé and drinks packages on offer.
“We’ve taken a fantastic site in bustling Artillery Passage, moments from Liverpool Street, with excellent footfall,” says Co-founder, Emilien Lesourd. “We can’t wait to show Londoners our contemporary take on a traditional crêperie. We hope they’ll get a sense of all the love and passion we have put into L’Ami Malo.”
