Amami, an antidepressant restaurant

Here is an address as delightful as the reflection of the sun on the sea in summer. As soon as you sit down at Amami, a restaurant with sober elegance, you perceive the joyful accents of the South. And this, thanks to the Mediterranean cuisine of the master of the place, Michael Zouari, executed according to the rules of the art. Tarama, falafels, planchas, grilled fish, beef meatballs, ratatouille: the recipes are simple and the proportions just right. It is good, authentic, healthy, without fuss, perfectly mastered.

Amami, which means "popular" or "simple" in Hebrew, is inspired by Jewish cuisine from the Maghreb to the Middle East, but also from Eastern Europe. Spiced up with oriental spices (zaatar, labneh, sesame, sumac, tahini, paprika, cumin, etc.), the recipes pay homage to the chef's grandmother, from whom he learned to boost morale at all times and in all seasons with generous, family dishes.

First, we lick our lips with tapas: tarama with lightly grilled notes, a plate of tingling red peppers, braised cabbage accompanied by a punchy tahini, a plate of falafels, a tasty hummus without acidity or bitterness. Then come the sweet potatoes, the tomatoes garnished with parsley or coriander, the fish or meat dishes in the form of balls or prepared in a stew like dried white beans...
The ingredients are fresh and the taste palette is varied. With these plates, which can be shared or not, vegetarians and omnivores alike are satisfied.
