L'Ambacia sur Amboise

Arrived at 12:13 PM. The service was impeccable from the start. Despite the very busy crowd for this Sunday lunchtime, we were seated as soon as we arrived. I had booked three days in advance, and I highly recommend it because the Place du Château is very popular. Our aperitifs arrived in less than five minutes for the six of us. No complaints whatsoever; we were served small olives with them. The servers were efficient and very pleasant to chat with. Thank you to them for this warm welcome. (With the owner's watchful eye.) At 12:30 PM, we ordered our meals. At 12:50 PM, we were served, and some lovely appetizers arrived. I found the Thai shrimp had too many seeds and lacked a little something extra, a flavor to enhance the dish and give it a bit of something, perhaps a sauce... The salmon dish was apparently good, and the burrata was the same. 1:20 PM, the main course was served. My mountain burger (double) was delicious. The butcher-style patties were great, making for a hearty and filling burger. A little more salad would have been nice, but otherwise, the portion size was pretty good. The fish of the day was delicious (I'll keep the fish of the day a secret for you to discover). It was cooked absolutely perfectly, and they enjoyed the meal. The half duck breast was good and well-cooked; the rest of the dish complemented it well. The homemade cordon bleu was good. In fact, our plates are empty! 1:50 PM, the desserts arrived. They were just right, nothing to complain about, perfect for rounding off the meal. Overall, it was a bit noisy, but that's to be expected. The prices were a little high (just a little), and the waiter was a bit unbalanced, but it was quite a rush.

A very warm welcome for a family with children. Excellent food. Thank you to the team.

Everything was perfect! A very warm welcome. The salads were delicious. Beautiful location near the castle.

Excellent service and very friendly staff. Quick service. The dishes were of good quality and the portions were just right. Highly recommended!

Friendly and professional staff, no complaints. The food... a bit basic; the cordon bleu with homemade mashed potatoes could have used a few salad leaves. The menu wasn't really geared towards summer.

We had a great time, everything was very good and the team was fantastic!

Very friendly place, excellent food. I'm also in the business and I'm quick to criticize, but honestly, there's nothing to say here. I recommend this place without hesitation.

A huge thank you to the smiling and welcoming person who seated and served us on the terrace. What a pleasure to receive such a warm welcome these days! 🙂 The meals lived up to this hospitality; we will cherish the delicious experience of this restaurant. We'll definitely be back! ❤️

Smiling, homemade, highly recommended

A very good time, the food was excellent.
