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!
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.
