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.View more
Could not have asked for a better wedding venue. The coordinators & staff were kind & professional from our first tour of the location to when we were closing out the reception. We were able to have a menu that was everything we ever wanted. The food was so good that we had multiple guests ask if they could take some home.
Multiple times throughout the night, the staff brought food specifically for my wife & I to make sure we were eating. They were making sure to take care of us while we were occupied on taking care of our guests.
Unfortunately, it did rain on our wedding day so we could not have the ceremony outside. Luckily our venue coordinators, Alexandra & Alice, along with our personal coordinator Steph, came together to set up the most amazing indoor ceremony that we will remember forever.
We can say in full confidence that this is THE place to get married.View more
Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but our venue made the process so much easier & genuinely enjoyable! From start to finish, they were an absolute joy to work with. Their team was not only accommodating & flexible with all our requests, but they also brought such a positive, fun energy that helped me feel much more relaxed throughout. Their support & enthusiasm made what could have been a stressful experience into something we could truly look forward to. We couldn't be happier with our choice & would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone planning a special event!View more
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.View more
We contacted them as we are looking for a wedding venue. They were hardly available to meet with us, only during a limited period in the middle of the day. Communication was very complicated; we exchanged a few emails with Alexa, she wasn't particularly helpful, did not even get a reply to the last email. If now is so hard to communicate with them, I don't even want to imagine contacting them to plan the event, or to solve an unforeseen issue... We chose another venue for our wedding, no way I would ever attempt to plan anything there.View more
Well organized wedding venue. Good food, beautiful setting, curteous staff.View more
Dear Alexa, Amber, & the entire L'Ambroisie team, We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks for making our wedding day so special. From the moment we started working with you, everyone-from the servers to the bartender, the DJ & of course Stuart, Alexa & Amber-everyone we interacted with was incredibly professional, warm, & accommodating to all our requests. We delivered the decor & the L'Ambroisie team set up everything as we asked. The hall was simply stunning, & we received so many compliments from our guests, who absolutely RAVED about the delicious food!! The entire experience was truly "clé en main," & enabled us to enjoy our day without any stress, knowing that everything was being handled so seamlessly by your amazing team. We also deeply appreciated your recommendations for the ALT Hotel on Peel & Studio Caroline Theoret for hair & makeup-they were perfect choices & contributed to making our special day flawless. Thank you again for your wonderful service & care. It was a day we will cherish forever, & we are grateful to L'Ambroisie for helping make it all happen! Sandra & JamesView more
Our wedding day at L'Ambroisie & L'Espace Canal was nothing short of magical. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, but what really sets it apart is the incredible team that comes with it. The food was amazing-every dish was delicious & they are so accommodating with dietary restrictions. The bar service was top-notch, with a great selection of drinks & friendly bartenders who kept the party going. The day-of coordinator (Alexandra) was a lifesaver, handling every detail with such grace & efficiency that we were able to relax & enjoy our day to the fullest. From start to finish, L'Ambroisie & L'Espace Canal exceeded our expectations, & we couldn't be happier!View more
Had an absolutely wonderful wedding experience here! Our coordinator leading up to the event, Dietrich, did an excellent job answering our many questions & helping to ensure we felt confident & comfortable going into the event. During the day of the wedding we worked with Alexa, who took on all of the decorating & details of the space perfectly. The venue is gorgeous, the food delicious (almost every guest commented how on amazing the food was), & the DJ hired through the space was perfect! The venue takes care of almost everything for the wedding so we had very little to worry about in the days leading up to the event. Many thanks to Dietrich, Alexa, Amber, & all the of the staff at L'Ambroisie for making our wedding so special & memorable.View more
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.View more
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 !!View more
Recently had our wedding at L'Ambrosie. Simply put, outstanding. The day of the wedding , everything went extremely well, excellent service, great waiter, waitress, bartender. Food was perfectly prepared. Kitchen was on time & on the ball. Kudos to all :) Ambiance was so smooth. We booked String musicians for the service outside & had a guitarist /vocalist play at cocktail hour on terrace before going in to the dinning room Alexandra was great to deal with on setting up prior. Calm answering questions & resolving issues. Day of the event , Amber & Constance were a joy to deal with . Would easily recommend for those planning a wedding . Hands down 5 StarsView more
Super wonderful space & excellent experience. I stopped in here for lunch & the service & food were A+. I can tell a lot of thought, care, & consideration went into the menu. The team is very friendly, attentive, & just a joy. Would love to come back someday for dinner & if I'm lucky, a wedding.View more
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.View more
Had a wedding party there last week. May 11. Constance, the wedding coordinator was absolutely amazing. She went the extra, extra mile to make sure the evening was a success. It was. Thank you Constance. Excellent food & great service by the staff. You made it a memorable event.View more
We were married at l'ambroisie in April 2024. With about 75 dinner guests, salle l'ambroisie was the perfect size for us. Our coordinators Alexandra & Constance were great. They were helpful during the planning process & the wedding day. We gave them all our decorations with a description of how we wanted it set up, & they put everything together perfectly. We received so many compliments from the guests, they really loved the venue & the food. We had asked for some adjustments during our tasting & they were taken into account. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. The wedding package also includes the cost of a DJ. We were assigned DJ big Daddy who did a fantastic job. Our wedding day was wonderful. Also, the cost is fairly reasonable considering the location of the venue, & services included.View more
My friend used this venue for their wedding. Unfortunately it was raining but the Venue & staff were amazing. I would highly recommend.View more
We had our wedding there & everything was amazing. I couldn't recommend them more!View more
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 :)View more
(English below) On a célébré notre mariage à l'Ambroisie il y a un mois & on a vraiment aimé comment notre événement s'est déroulé ainsi que tout le processus qui a précédé. Dès notre première visite on s'est sentis pris en main par la coordonatrice qui a évidemment beaucoup d'expérience. Leurs documents étaient complets & clairs; la structure (horaire, menu, choix pour le bar, cérémonie etc) faisait en sorte qu'on se sentait entre de bonnes mains, mais en même temps il y avait assez d'espace pour qu'on crée notre évènement à notre goût & notre image. Durant la soirée le personnel était très agréable & efficace, on sentait qu'ils avaient envie d'être là & qu'ils savaient ce qu'ils faisaient. Nous & nos invités avons tous beaucoup aimé le repas, des canapés au dessert. Franchement si c'était à refaire on choisirait le même endroit sans hésitations. Sans parler du prix qui était tout à fait abordable surtout en comparant avec d'autres restaurants dans le coin.. & que dire du jardin le long de l'eau pour la cérémonie! On est ravis. Merci l'Ambroisie -- We celebrated our wedding at l'Ambroisie a month ago & we really loved our event as well as the whole process of creating it. Since our first visit of the venue we felt that the coordinator had a lot of experience & we could follow her lead. Their documents are thorough & clear; the structure (schedule, menu, bar options, ceremony, etc) made us feel like we were in good hands, but at the same time there was enough space & flexibility for us to create a wedding that we felt was unique & reflected who we are. During the evening the staff was very nice & efficient, we felt that they were happy to be there & that they knew what they were doing. Our guests & us really loved the meal, from the appetizers all the way to the dessert. Honestly, if we were to do it all over again we would choose the same venue without any hesitation. The price was also very affordable, especially comparing with other restaurants in the neighbourhood. & the garden along the water for the ceremony was just so charming. We're so happy with how our wedding went. Thank you l'Ambroisie!

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!!
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.
