Harden's says
Regis Crepy (of The Great House, Lavenham) and his son Alex (who has worked with the Gaucho group) have launched Amélie, a "fast-casual dining venture" in Cambridge. The USP is flammekueche, a sort of fresh pizza from Alsace, and drinks are served from an old Citroen Van.

"Went the first week of opening and will return. Very busy because of promotional opening discount. Food very different. light but full after three courses. A lot healthier than a pizza."
