L'amuse Bouche - Malvern Hills

We had a memorable evening meal at this restaurant. The setting was lovely and the staff were very efficient. Every course was perfect. We would definitely love to visit again.

After reading glowing reviews, we can confirm that this charming restaurant lives up to its reputation. The food and service are impeccable, the atmosphere is elegant, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality. My friends and I were thoroughly impressed and are already planning our next visit.

I came back to this restaurant on Sunday after not going for a while, and I still think it's the best in Malvern. The food quality and service are amazing, and considering the quality, the price is excellent value for money. It's a real hidden gem.

We dined here for Sunday lunch last week and it was just phenomenal!! Couldn’t disagree more with the review below. Myself and my partner both agreed that it was one of the best Sunday lunches we have ever had! Everything was amazing, delicious gravy, perfectly cooked vegetables and the best crispy roast potatoes. We both then had just enough room to squeeze in a sticky toffee pudding and it was divine. We received such a warm welcome and fabulous service so it really was the perfect afternoon. Thank you so much to all involved- we can’t wait to come back.

Started off brilliantly, warm friendly reception and very attentive service. Drinks were prompt and very good and the decor and setting is absolutely lovely. We had the Sunday lunch menu and both had the smoked salmon starter which was beautifully presented and very nice. Then the Sunday roasts arrived and things went south rather quickly. I had the ‘best of both’ with both beef and pork which sadly omitted both apple sauce and stuffing, despite being described as ‘with all the trimmings’. My wife had the roast beef, which bizarrely was served with both apple sauce and the black pudding stuffing from the roast pork option. Clearly whomever was plating up wasn’t very attentive. Whilst the meats and roast potatoes were good, sadly the rest of it was rather tasteless. The vegetables were bland and needed seasoning; both the parsnips and Yorkshire pudding appeared to have been cooked much earlier in the day and then warmed up the Yorkshire pudding in particular was dry and tasteless. Equally, the gravy, whilst plentiful was watery and had no depth of flavour and the cauliflower cheese sauce was not cheesy in the slightest. If I were judging this meal as an average pub roast I’d have given it 3 stars, but bearing in mind both the premium price and the expectation set of ‘Malvern’s finest dining experience’ it certainly wasn’t food wise, so sadly only 2 stars. We can only assume that their Sunday roasts are not reflective of their usual standards and we will return to try a weekday evening meal fingers crossed…
