Si vous réservez à ce restaurant, insistez pour prendre le nom de la personne qui prend votre réservation!!
J'ai effectué une réservation par téléphone le 27 avril dernier pour un groupe de 6 personnes pour le 28 mai, la jeune femme m'a même confirmé qu'il y avait un stationnement à l'arrière (j'ai la preuve du message envoyé à mon groupe prouvant la réservation). Nous nous présentons ce 28 mai & à notre grande surprise il y a une réception pour un mariage, le restaurant n'est donc pas disponible au public. Je discute avec un employé dans le stationnement qui s'avère être le propriétaire. Il nous dit que c'est absolument impossible que j'ai fait une réservation, que les samedis sont réservés tout l'été pour des événements. Aucune empathie de sa part, aucune tentative pour exprimer qu'il est désolé, que c'est possible que son employé ait fait une erreur, arrogant en plus se retournant vers les deux personnes avec qui il était en leur disant Incroyable!. JAMAIS nous ne retournerons à votre restaurant cher monsieur!!! D'autres restaurants à Montréal se sont fait un grand plaisir de nous accueillir avec chaleur & respect, ce qui n'est pas votre cas!

If you're looking for the perfect wedding venue I highly suggest L'Ambroisie restaurant. They are very accommodating, staff is super friendly, our guests loved the food. The event coordinator, Alexandra is quick to reply & will answer every & all questions you have throughout your time planning. She is amazing & was so helpful in this process. I never had to stress with anything about the venue & that's all because of how confident I felt with Alexandra.

You have 3 options where you can do your ceremony. Inside the restaurant, outside in the terrace, or outside in their beautiful garden.

Again, if you're looking for an amazing place to hold your ceremony & reception then Restaurant L'Ambroisie is the place to do it!!

Group of 35 guests.
The venue is interesting but the food was not good & the service wasn't good either. They seemed very inexperienced. There were no glasses on the table nor wine which we pre ordered. We had two checks. One for the bar bill & one for the restaurant so I think the two are separate & this could have caused some of the issues. One of two appetizers was also the side with the entree. The beef Wellington was under cooked & very soggy. Not appetizing at all. Also service was extremely slow. I would not recommend this place ever.

Was just here for a wedding. The food was delicious & the service excellent. I am gluten intolerant & the staff was wonderful in making sure that my meal was gluten-free. The room itself is beautiful & they have a large terrace just a few feet away from the terrace. I would definitely recommend this wonderful venue to anyone getting married or organising a party.

When planning our wedding, my husband & I (American) were looking for a destination wedding. We chose Montreal based on its European flair, & stopped by L'Ambroisie on a whim after reading a review. On that first day, Kevin sat down with us & gave us the personalized visit we had been missing at the other venues. He answered our questions, & didn't pressure us into committing. After looking at other venues, we decided on L'Ambroisie. From there, Nathalie answered all my questions, even the crazy ones, with rapid response. There were no "packages" no uniform choices. It really was the only venue we visited that encouraged us to have a personalized wedding. On the actual wedding day, the staff was incredible. They were all complete professionals & the wedding went off better than we ever dreamed. We were both relaxed, happy, & actually enjoying our day. Everything that was promised to us from the first meeting came true & more. The food was fabulous, the DJ was fabulous & everyone had such positive feedback. The staff even navigated the event through a rain shower mid-ceremony. I really cannot say enough positive things about my wedding experience. Thank you all at L'Ambroisie!

I was able to visit this restaurant twice. Once for a summer wedding & the second for a Christmas party. Although the location is great & you can't beat the beautiful garden. I wouldn't recommend it for large functions. It doesn't seem like they are equipped to handle big events. Food arrived late, & some was cold. Portion sizes were really uneven. Staff were noticeable stressed & arguing a lot. This place has lots of promise, but would skip it if you are having an event.
