Our location
123 Boulevard Saint-Laurent, Montréal
The cuisine
Plated with precision
Every plate leaves the pass under the chef's own hand — three services a night, never more than forty covers.
Chef's table
Plates we are known for
Three dishes that never leave the menu — because the room will not allow it.
Signature
Scallops, Saffron & Flowers
Diver scallops caramelised over binchotan, floated on a saffron beurre blanc finished with vanilla oil and flowers cut that morning.
Paired with Chablis 1er Cru, Montée de Tonnerre
The Fire
45-Day Dry-Aged Tenderloin
Aged in-house, grilled over embers and finished with a bone marrow jus and shaved black winter truffle.
Paired with Barolo Riserva, Serralunga d'Alba
From the Sea
Halibut, Champagne & Caviar
Butter-poached at 52°C, veiled in a champagne foam and crowned with osetra caviar and sea herbs.
Paired with Blanc de Blancs, Grand Cru Avize
The cellar
Six hundred bottles, one sommelier
Our list is built for the food, not for the trophy shelf. Tell our sommelier what you love and let her take it from there.
Champagne & Sparkling
62 references · Grower cuvées, Grand Cru houses and late-disgorged vintages back to 1996.
Bourgogne
148 references · Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, verticals of Meursault and Gevrey-Chambertin.
Bordeaux

New World

By the Glass
34 pours · Rotated weekly and preserved under argon so every glass drinks like a fresh bottle.
The house
A room built for
long evenings
Ambre opened in a former banking hall in 2009 with thirty-eight seats, tall arched windows and a refusal to rush anyone. Chef Élise Marchand cooks the food of the season and the coast — precise, warm, and never theatrical for its own sake.
The dining room is pale oak, travertine and ivory linen under soft gold light, and the same maître d' has greeted guests since the first service. We keep the room quiet, the pacing generous, and the last table as important as the first.

What the room says
"A dining room that understands restraint. Ambre serves the most technically assured plates in the city without ever raising its voice."
Le Guide Métropole
Three stars · Restaurant of the Year
"Seven courses, four hours, and not one moment we wanted to be anywhere else. The team remembered our names before we sat down."
Claudia & Marc-André T.
Anniversary, chef's table
