Ambos — Restaurant in Paris

No wonder this is the price to pay when you land in ‘les beaux quartiers’ of Emily, and you’re facing Jardin du Luxembourg ‘Senat’, this is how you will sum up your adventure of long awaited Ambos Restaurant by smiley Pierre Chomet chef.

Nothing to say on the food, which interestingly is decently priced for the amazing quality and content.

But on the beverages, OMG, a little glass of champagne Philipponnat almost at the price of Plaza Athenée (18 EUR), when you know even the most milliésimé prices, you know this is the biggest mark up.

and also - come on - 3 choices of ‘apéro’ only? 1 beer, 1 gin-to or 1 bloody mary? It's not that difficult to get the basic classicals, but just 1 bottle of Campari, 1 vermouth, add the gin bottle in your hand, pour, and make a Negroni! 20 sec.

Nevertheless, forget it. Let’s talk food.

Amazing, crazy, sumptuous. I will remember all my life of that beef and orange and that sauce full of szechuan and ginger and that beef base stock. Sumptuous.

or that starter of cauliflower, creamy, with oyster, again a winner.

And I am not into chocolate, and guess what, I could have had three bowls of that smoky very dark chocolate siphon espuma and that buckwheat ice cream: INSANE!

That's a shame, hopefully we will remember the amazing contrast that only Pierre (and Cristina) knows how to bring in Paris. Cooking that french classic with that twist is not frequent in the french capital city.

Let’s hope the sommelier tries to increase his offer on beverages. as well as the wine selection very limited with french wines price tag starting circa 55 EUR per bottle which is very over the top. Even in some 75008 bistro gems you’ll have wines less pricey on the menu from small ‘producteurs’. If you don’t drink at all, rush to ‘Ambos’ restaurant!

Thanks to Chef Pierre for coming and serving the plates, a delightful gesture that leaves a nice touch in your memory despite the very...

Dined here for lunch and it was fantastic. We had originally booked a Michelin star restaurant but I just kept coming back to Ambos’ website, and at the last minute changed our reservation to switch. I’m so glad I did, our lunch ending up being perfect. The restaurant is so clean, well decorated and has a warm, welcoming vibe. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The owner and chef is also very attentive and welcoming. Making you immediately relax and slow down. The food was delicious - the best we had while in Paris. My only regret is only doing the 3 course lunch vs. the 5 or 7 course option. I was dining with my 13 year old daughter, who tries everything and is no stranger to finer food, but did not care for the first dish as it had beets in it and she doesn’t like beets. After she only ate a little of the dish and it was removed back to the kitchen, the chef came out to inquire what was wrong and wanted to make her comfortable. I insisted nothing was wrong, it was perfect but she just doesn’t like beets. He offered her another dish of her choice but she refused, said it was OK. He surprised her in the end with a second dessert because he wanted her to get 3 fill dishes; which was so incredibly sweet. Just incredible service. Will definitely be back the next time we...

Ambos, a small space run by a husband-and-wife team, Pierre and Cristina. These two have serious culinary chops, their pedigree spanning France, Thailand, and Spain. The place is cozy, almost familial, but don't let that fool you. I went for the 7-course tasting menu with the wine pairing, and let me tell you, it was a goddamn revelation. Each dish was an explosion of flavor, fresh herbs like lemongrass singing on the palate. Fine dining without the pretension; they even brought out this butter sculpted into a smiley face – that's when I knew I was in for a ride. One bite and I was transported back to Thailand, the next to Spain, then France – all in the span of a single meal. The standout? The pollock. Cooked to absolute perfection, swimming in this creamy, decadent sauce. You can tell the kitchen crew are hungry, young guns, pushing the boundaries. Service was warm, attentive, no stuck-up attitudes here. If you're looking for an adventure, a culinary trip around the world without leaving your seat, get your ass to Ambos. You...
