Amlou: A Culinary Gem on Rue Saint-Jean
On September 26, 2026, Caen, located in the heart of Calvados, welcomed a new culinary hotspot known as Amlou. This charming café and restaurant, founded by Hind Raji, offers a delightful array of Moroccan specialties that cater to both sweet and savory cravings throughout the day. Amlou stands out for its commitment to traditional Moroccan recipes, ensuring that every dish is prepared with authenticity and passion. Whether you choose to dine in or take your meal to go, Amlou promises an exceptional gastronomic experience that pays homage to Moroccan culinary heritage.
A Tribute to Heritage and Tradition
The essence of Amlou is deeply rooted in Hind Raji’s family history. This restaurant is not just a business venture; it is a heartfelt tribute to her parents—her mother Naïma, a talented chef whose culinary skills have been passed down through generations, and her father Sabri, who ran a hospitality chain in Morocco. With this rich heritage, Hind aims to extend the warm hospitality her father embodied while showcasing the vibrant flavors of Moroccan cuisine. At just 27 years old, Hind has infused Amlou with her passion for food and her desire to bring a slice of Morocco to Caen, inviting locals and visitors alike to indulge in a unique dining experience.
