Brunch has become a stable part of British culture over the last 5 years. Whilst there are many options for brunch in Manchester and London, two friends Ollie and Mark wanted to put the Ribble Valley on the map. With their experience and passion they created the popular spot in Whalley named Deux Amis.

It offers a taste of perfection with carefully curated menus inspired by locally sourced produce ensuring quality and price are carefully considered with every dish. Relish in the décor of emerald greens and midnight blues, an elegant feel with a serene ambiance and relaxed atmosphere. All day brunch is served 7 days a week. Book online or walk-ins welcome, also click and collect now available for breakfast on the go!
