I can not recommend this venue enough for a wedding!! We were married July 2025 & we had Alexandra as our coordinator. She is AMAZING! She is incredibly efficient at her job & making you feel as ease on your big day.
Venue - beautiful & perfect for a hot summer wedding. Spacious outdoor patio & beautiful & air conditioned space indoors. If you can, get married outside at the gazebo. It makes for such a special ceremony.
Bar - the bartenders here always so incredibly nice. We had been guests at this venue before, & each & every time the staff is on-it & personable. The drinks were also so tasty. Opt for the premium bar if you can, it does not disappoint.
Food - we opted for a BBQ to allow for more mingle time, best decision we ever made. Also, the food was even better than the tasting (which was delicious). The owner manned the BBQ in his cowboy hat & brought his homemade horseradish sauce for the steaks.
Decorations/Lights - you NEED the lights, they absolutely added to the ambiance & made any indoor pictures way cuter. They are ~$800, but if there is a wedding/event the day before or day after, you can ask to share the cost (saving you almost half the cost).
DJ/Music - Our only'meh' experience was with the company who is hired to do the music. My husband put together a long & comprehensive email & several playlists for the DJ to riff off of (pre dinner, post dinner, opening up the dance floor, last hour of the party etc.), but the coordinator for the AV team never sent the DJ our email so we had to send it night of after listening to several super cheesy songs. We are very picky when it comes to music, so we had to insist to sticking to the playlist vibes. Once that was taken care of, we proceeded to dance the night away.
TLDR: best venue, best staff, & one of the most affordable places in Montreal to hold a wedding.
I simply do not know where to start my review. Our wedding surpassed our own expectations, & the team at L'Ambroisie was such a delight to work with. The day went so smoothly with no hiccups from their end. The service was out of this world. We had 70 guests, & the food came out properly & on time. The taste of the food was simply WOW. Our guests raved about the steak & the halibut risotto, & my wife absolutely loved the oysters, especially the Rockefeller oysters. Everything tasted incredible. Like they say, it takes a village to pull off a wedding, & that is very accurate.
I want to call out the following people who made our day so magical & beautiful:
Marie-France - Bar mastermind
Service Team: Rohan, Amber, Jonathan
Behind the Scenes Team: Dallas, Sebastien, Gordon (sous-chef), Stuart (Chef), John, & all the cooks & dishwashers who made the food amazing
Alexandra - Coordinator, point of contact & the person that had a key role in make our night magical from preparation, planning & navigating all our needy requests & finding a way to get them accepted by the owner.
They are such a delight to work with & so flexible & understanding. They were accommodating with many aspects of our planning, including allowing us to bring some of our own items, which we truly appreciated. I loved all our interactions from the initial conversation to the execution of the day. They worked tirelessly to make everything go smoothly, & as with every wedding, there were unplanned moments. One example that truly stood out was when our arch vendor's partner couldn't make it. Without hesitation, the L'Ambroisie team jumped in to help mount the arch outside in -35 degree weather with freezing cold hands. Their willingness to go above & beyond, even outside their usual responsibilities, meant the world to us.
I would highly recommend L'Ambroisie to anyone planning their special day. You will be in excellent hands.
THANK YOU for making our day beautiful & for all your work & effort. You are all such wonderful human beings with big hearts.

Our wedding at Ambroisie was an absolutely wonderful experience, filled with beautiful memories. Everything was exceptional, & we are completely satisfied ❤?
A huge thank you to Alexandra for her continuous support & attention, to Cléa for her understanding, flexibility, great energy, & availability, & to Amber & the entire team for the impeccable service & great attitude throughout the day😊.
We highly recommend Ambroisie for a truly successful wedding 🎉
L'Espace Canal was the perfect venue for our wedding. The space is absolutely beautiful, with so much natural charm & character, & it created the exact atmosphere we were dreaming of. The team was professional, responsive, & incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, & our guests could not stop complimenting the venue. We couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate our day. Wholeheartedly recommended!
We recently had our wedding held at Espace Canal this past weekend & it was the most beautiful day. We were very lucky to have worked with Alexandra for many months leading up to the big day as she helped us a lot with any questions we had, many many emails were answered. She is a pleasure to work with & goes above & beyond the call of duty. We also thank her & Jaime for making sure that everything ran super smoothly on the day of as our coordinator. The wait staff & our Maître D (Toni) gave excellent service & people were very happy with all of the food that was served. It is a beautiful venue that is perfect for an outdoor ceremony held along the Lachine Canal with a beautiful gazebo in the garden area, making it all very magical. We could not have asked for a better wedding & highly recommend this place for a great venue location!
I had my wedding here & it was incredible! The staff is so helpful on the day of, you feel like a guest at your own wedding! & i didnt even have a wedding planner!
The food was delicious & all my guests said so. Even with a mishap with communication with the DJ, the music was great & the night was unforgettable.
Ambroisie is so gorgeous, it really is a beautiful place for a wedding.
Thank you to Tony, Jaime, Alexandra, & all the wait staff for making my wedding incredible.

A beautiful place, with a cozy elegance. I had the pleasure of flowering a wedding here, bud vase centerpieces, & a wild-style bridal bouquet. To date one of my favourite locations to flower. I also returned on another occasion to dine with friends at the restaurant, I absolutely loved the french onion soup, & the steak frites was very good.
We had our wedding at L'Espace Canal this past weekend & I am so glad that we chose this venue! First, L'Espace canal is absolutely beautiful. Second, our venue coordinator (Alexandra) & the L'Ambroisie/L'Espace Canal chefs & staff were fantastic throughout the entire engagement/planning process. The venue worked closely with us to customize a Southern Food buffet station to reflect my Georgia (USA) roots. They were open to suggested recipe changes, & the food turned out great - our guests were raving! Alexandra did an amazing job setting up the decorations & coordinating the arrival of other vendors. I did not have to worry about a thing on my wedding day - everything was beautiful & set up exactly to my specifications. During the wedding, the staff & bartenders were very professional & attentive to both us as bride & groom, as well as our guests. Our wedding was at L'Espace Canal was an absolute dream. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Love the onion soup, good steak & good duck. Service was on point & the atmosphere is just lovely. Update: Quaint reception hall, & beautiful space for an outdoor ceremony.

We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at L'Espace Canal, & we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the moment we started planning, our coordinator Dietrich took care of every detail with such professionalism & care. The venue itself is stunning, with its charming ambiance & beautiful views of the canal providing the perfect backdrop for our special day. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish, the food & service was exceptional. Overall, L'Ambroisie & L'Espace Canal exceeded all our expectations, & we are so grateful to Dietrich & the entire team for making our wedding day so memorable. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a perfect place to tie the knot.
My fiancée & I had a fantastic time celebrating our engagement with our family & friends. L'Espace Canal was beautiful, the food was great, & the staff were extremely helpful & kind. Tony went above & beyond for us.
We had our wedding at L' Ambroisie in May 2024. It was a dream. The location is ideal ( ceremony, cocktail hour, reception), offers overnight parking if needed. Staff is accommodating to special requests & really go out of their way to make it happen. Special Shout Out to Dietrich ( the most patient, accommodating & fun coordinator to work with), Amber ( the reception capitain) & Jonathan ( probably the best bartender in MTL) who made our day amazing. Price is well worth it & very reasonable & they offer many options. Amazing open bar, great DJ. They recommend vendors that are good to use because they know the venue inside & out. The food is SO good & there are many options to chose from. Great places to take photos as well. Overall, beautiful venue, great staff, amazing wedding !!

We had our wedding here in May 2024 & had the loveliest time. The venue was beautiful & several guests mentioned how good the food was. Service was incredible, Amber & her staff were amazing. Dietrich did a great job coordinating the ceremony & everything else. Alexa was super helpful throughout the planning even though she was on maternity leave. Alexandra was very nice & helpful when we were planning & going for our tasting. Price was very reasonable considering all the things that were included & the turnkey package allowed us to customize & include exactly what we wanted.
The pluses: I don’t think you can find a better spot in downtown Montreal with those prices. The venue is beautiful, I loved the arch, they’re very turnkey & espace canal is super pretty & can really look great with minimal effort. Alex was great to work with & hustled during the wedding to make sure everything was great. The menu was adapted for vegetarians & vegans & food was delicious. The bartenders were super sweet as well as were all the waiters.
The minuses: we had issues with our first coordinator which caused quite a lot of stress, there was issues with figuring out who would take over, the communication can mostly only be done by email (not phone really) & you have to be very very proactive in order to make sure everything is organized. But if you are organized & will write them & follow up a lot, everything should go smoothly.
Summary: I think it’s definitely a steal for a spot in the city, if you like a more urban vibe. I really enjoyed my night tremendously. The planning was a bit rough around the edges but I think it makes sense with the pricing.
If you like my flowers it was Aux Fleurs Folies & my photographer was Arianne Gagnon Nantel :)
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!!
