Best Dishes at L'Ambroisie
Tarte fine sablée au cacao amer
DessertL'Ambroisie's legendary chocolate dessert features an incredibly light whipped chocolate filling that melts on your tongue, a perfect crumbly sablé tart base, and a generous dusting of pure bitter cacao. It's a study in balance—rich chocolate with just enough bitterness to keep it from being cloying.
Chaud-froid d'œuf mollet à la Kiev, caviar Kristal
StartersA luxurious interpretation of the classic Kiev preparation, this dish combines a delicate soft-boiled egg with a butter-enriched center and topped with exquisite Kristal caviar. The contrast between the rich butter, the smooth egg, and the briny caviar creates layers of refined flavor.
Feuillantine de langoustines aux graines de sésame
StartersThis cult classic features incredibly sweet and firm langoustines sandwiched between the thinnest discs of pastry with sesame seeds, sat atop a bed of spinach and surrounded by the lightest curry sauce. The tuiles are so delicate they dissolve on your tongue while providing textural contrast to the tender shellfish.
Interlude de homard aux légumes primeurs
MainsTender lobster flesh presented delicately with seasonal spring vegetables, bathed in a fragrant milky star anise sauce that provides contrast to the slightly salty oceanic flavor of the lobster. The sauce's subtle anise notes and creamy texture elevate the natural sweetness of the shellfish.
Côte de veau double glacée au jus, fricassée de girolles
MainsA masterwork of classical French technique: a substantial double veal chop with an elegant glaze and natural jus, paired with a refined fricassée of girolles. The veal is cooked with precision to maintain a delicate pink center while the sauce brings umami depth and the mushrooms add earthiness.
