Ami

French, relaxed and a little green

Ami is a French restaurant on the third floor of Alexandra House on Chater Road in Central, and the Michelin inspector describes a forest theme and ‘a fine dining experience in a casual setting’. It offers tasting menus and an all-day à la carte menu with French staples, dishes to share and bar snacks.

The kitchen’s executive chef is described as a veteran who sources high-quality produce and pairs it with traditional French sauces. Signature dishes noted by the guide are hand-chopped wagyu tartare, yellow chicken and a seafood vol-au-vent, all of which are classic rather than fashionable.

That combination, serious sauces in a relaxed room, makes Ami a good choice for a lunch or an early dinner in Central, and it holds one Michelin star. Menus change, so confirm what is being served.
