FOOD EDITION
Amelie x Ben’s Yard A new culinary venture is set to make waves on the Stuntney Estate, as Cambridge-based foodie gem Chez Amélie Cafe launches its premises at Ben’s Yard. Headed up by chef and restaurateur Regis Crepy and his son Alex, two new establishments will open in the independent retail village: Amélie Restaurant and Amélie Cafe & Bakeshop. “We are excited to expand Amélie restaurants in this glorious location – a perfect spot to meet up with friends and family,” Alex comments. “We’re eager to extend a warm welcome to everyone and share our modern food, as well as introduce our signature flammekueche: the crispy yeast-free flatbread spread with crème fraiche and a tasty combination of toppings.” Both venues cater to every culinary need – whether it’s a casual cake and coffee or takeaway slice of quiche, a weekend brunch or leisurely midday meal of croquetas with Big Ben’s beef burgers and glass of rosé. They also offer an afternoon tea featuring exquisite patisserie. Alongside Regis, chef Rory Landells will lead the kitchen team at Amélie Restaurant to offer an appealing and affordable menu of freshly prepared, Mediterranean-inspired dishes made with seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. Diners can expect both small and large plates such as hispi cabbage with light mustard, tonkatsu sauce, crispy shallots and spring onion; beef cheek braised in Guinness; sea trout with Stuntney Estate potatoes, asparagus, prosecco, brown shrimp butter and capers; and aubergine with harissa and maple glaze, feta, roasted vine tomatoes and toasted pine nuts. Finally, several tantalising dessert options include a zingy lemon tart and classic Basque cheesecake. Complementing this diverse gastronomic selection is a varied wine list expertly curated by Nethergate Wines. Amélie Cafe & Bakeshop brings customers daily homemade French dishes such as salads, tarts and Regis’ special desserts, including his signature French strawberry tart – all while sitting under a floral tree.
