Award winning pie company, Miss Amelie Gourmet Pies, has expanded its footprint in Melbourne, with a new location at the historic Queen Victoria Market.

A relatively new brand in the sector, Miss Amelie Gourmet Pies was born out of the COVID pandemic in regional Victoria, to cater for the appetite of the Albury-Wodonga region to have nutritious, gourmet food delivered.

Four years on, the Wodonga-born business has three cafes across the North East in Albury, Wodonga and Beechworth, as well as an outlet store in Melbourne at the Prahran Market, and now a pie van at the Queen Victoria Market.

Miss Amelie Gourmet Pies co-founder, Jim Myers, said the company sources its ingredients from local premium protein and vegetable suppliers

“All our pies are made with absolute health in mind. We ensure our chefs don’t add any sugar, preservatives, artificial colours, flavours or seed oils, as they can be inflammatory,” said Myers.

“In our Wodonga kitchen, we slow cook all our premium protein and handcraft our pastry to ensure it has multiple layers and a beautiful flaky top, which pie lovers crave. Our pies are restaurant quality, and the ingredients are exactly how they’re listed.”

“We are bringing a new style of pie to the Queen Victoria Market for the foodie and pie lovers of Melbourne to enjoy,” he said.

For Spring and Summer, Miss Amelie Gourmet Pies has more than 15 varieties in its range, featuring some traditional choices such as Lamb Shank Garlick and Steak and Onion Gravy, plus contemporary options including the Chinese BBQ Pork Belly pie and the Good Gut Pie.
