This was probably the best service I have ever experienced in a restaurant ever. The food was good, but I have had better and more creative dishes in other 2 star Michelin restaurants. But: the attention to detail and the plates looked absolutely gorgeous! The ambience was a bit too quiet for me personally, would have loved a bit of quiet music as you could hear the conversations from the neighbouring tables. Thank you for this excellent service experience!!
After having been to multiple fine dining restaurants in Paris, L'Ambroisie is probably the best so far. Despite not having the typical tasting menu, the à la carte experience is just as astounding. I decided to skip the Appetizers since none of them appealed to me so instead, I had 2 main courses and a dessert. For the first main, I got the Turbot and I would say it was good if not the best. I've had a spotless version back in London and this didn't quite live up to the mark. Still, the sauce and the ravioli accompanying it elevated the dish to another level. The 2nd main was the Lamb in 5 expressions, and this was probably the best meat dish I've had in a Michelin star setting. It was outstanding in almost every aspect. I'm not a fan of cold foods like the carpaccio, but I'll make an exception this time. The 4 other techniques were simply extraordinary!! Finally for the dessert I had the William Pear and again - Sublime! Both the lamb and the pear courses were pure works of art! The mignardises after the dessert were equally impressive. Truly magical! The only thing I noticed - all other tables had bread and butter served and I wasn't! I hope it's because they forgot. Was going to take off a star here but given the amazingness of the luncheon, I'll let it pass.
This was my second visit to this restaurant and I loved it even more! I’m glad we made the trip back to Paris and could get a reservation here. It’s actually one of my favorite 3 star Michelins out of the others in the city. Main reason is the consistency of the service, food, and ambiance. You can’t go wrong here, the food is just superb, the taste is exactly what you’re looking for when you ask for French fine dining. It also wasn’t too heavy because we chose the seafood options for lunch. The dessert is always so perfect The staff is lovely and so friendly. It’s one of those restaurants you just need to try once in your life. And if you’re going to splurge, do it the right way. This is it.
Our visit to L'Ambroisie was the best meal during our 5-day visit to Paris. The space was quiet, clean, and decorated with chandeliers and geometric wall art in red and white which evoked 80's "art." The food was excellent in flavor, presentation, and creativity. The ala carte menu was a refreshing departure from fixed course menus at many fine dining restaurants in the city. We thoroughly enjoyed eat dish, and every bite was a surprise. I had the lamb in five preparations, and it was great. The bream came in a bowl full of caviar,.which was also excellent. The William pear dessert will haunt me for the rest of my days - the caramel sauce was true perfection. Service was also extraordinary, with the perfect balance of professional and friendly which made us comfortable for the meal. The waiter made a couple of jokes that elevated the dining experience by defusing what otherwise might have been awkward situations. The entire staff was attentive and performed as if choreographed. We will definitely visit L'Ambroisie during our next visit to Paris.
