"Located in Sainte-Foy, at a remove from the historical centre, this restaurant wins you over with its laid-back and inviting atmosphere. The setting is simple, but the welcome is warm. The restaurant showcases ingredients from Quebec's terroir. The indulgent, meticulously prepared cuisine can be enjoyed in the form of a tasting menu consisting of a dozen small plates to share: Gaspé Peninsula lobster ravioli and cauliflower with a fragrant bisque, house-made beer sausages and Migneron de Charlevoix cheese aligot, or Paris-Brest made according to time-honoured tradition. A 100% Quebec wine list rounds off this gourmet experience." - Michelin Inspector

A fun meal set with different food and wine pairings. Our waiter was very friendly and accommodating - explaining the food composition and wine origins. They also called to confirm before our visit about food allergies. Fun music and dishes to taste- definitely great value, unique and fresh

Amazing experience with amazing food. I loved everything I ate there. It was a great multi-service experience. Ate 10 plates as part of the menu. Everything was so tasty.

Excellent gourmet restaurant with extremely well curated closed menu and a fantastic selection of local Quebec alcohol. Absolutely a must try. Will be sure to return on my next trip to the city

Great experience. A casual relaxing environment with fantastic food and service (Camille!). Strong bold flavors but never heavy, rich or over seasoned. A great way to have amazing food and variety without a formal fine dining

I usually never put 1 star but this is for the team, not to feel attacked but to take it with a grain of salt. Sure, for some people this was exceptional and for us, we felt robbed and time wasted. Disappointed at the Michelin team too but to us who comes from a culinary background and own restaurants in Shanghai, Hong kong, and Amsterdam, it was a sad show. First of all, the interior, it felt like no money was spent on this restaurant designing, offering IKEA plates and one of my plates were so badly scratched that the center was almost silver. There are other restaurants with Michelin bib gourmand in downtown, offering more exquisite dishes, beautiful interior, plates and design that will cost less. The restaurant feels like a low-budget, no love put in, in a student area of the town... One of the girls was mockish, when my husband tried to speak french. Mocking and saying 'ca va'... Now, comes the food, did we come all the way from the other side of the world to have food that has been sitting under the heating lamp for 15 minutes? You had only 4 tables and you make all the guests wait to push out 4 plates of food? This is unacceptable. Most food were barely warm when it was served, obviously because they are sitting there.... Next very little actual cooking.. It puree of this, foam of that, oil of this, or micro-herbs,,, Chefs were more busy twiddling with tweezers to put herbs than anything else. Steak: When you have a good piece of meat, you don't need to blow torch the meat after Sous vide. We were amazed that they blow torched the beef. You have good fire, put that on the grill to add flavor... It was bad and had no flavor. The cocktail shrimp: Underwhelming and flat again. Pasta: it was undercooked and bitter.. the stuffing tastes like nothing, we sent back the pasta dish. Fish: wow, under seasoned. Mushroom: it was overcooked and just not good with the puree.. Just writing this review is making me want to cry on how bad the food was. Most importantly the chef was busy chopping cucumbers and zucchini all night in perfect shape rather than helping the other man who was in-charge of the plates all night. This was truly insane to see the main chef just cutting things all night and instead of doing anything with our plates. Like why are you even there? The only good thing was the desert. Though the cake was not soft, it still had the elements of potential.

I had a fabulous experience at Ambre Buvette. The food was amazing. And the service was really warm and much more than expected. The most exciting part is, the price is included with tips. I can’t ask for more from them.
