Ambrosia Bistro

A Must-Visit Bistro: Modern, Delicious, and Beautifully Presented Where to begin—this bistro is truly exceptional! A must-visit spot that perfectly blends modern urban cuisine with outstanding flavor and presentation. Every dish is not only delicious but also plated with remarkable attention to detail, making each course a treat for the eyes as well as the palate. The atmosphere is stylish yet welcoming, and the overall dining experience feels thoughtfully curated from start to finish. It’s the kind of place that delights your appetite, your eyes, and your soul—a true culinary gem that would be well deserving of a Michelin nod. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an elevated and memorable dining experience.

We were recommended this restaurant and very glad we went. I would suggest making reservation, but luckily we got in with bar seating as walk in. It was wonderful to watch the kitchen cook and all the dishes were divine. We especially loved the octopus and pulled pork croquettes. The apple tart dessert was also stand out. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you’re in Santiago.

A must-visit in Santiago for sure! We have gone to this place several times during our stay in Santiago, so tried quite a few dishes (the menu changes), and also repeated some of the dishes. The food is very very good and offers you to explore some interesting combinations. They were not serving alcohol yet during our stay in the city, but said that will soon have it on the menu. Save the space for coffee as it’s nice, and desserts are very delicious! (Especially with matcha) The service is super nice also. An extra compliment to Nicolas, who was our waiter on our first visit and since then always greeted us and came for a brief chat even when not serving our table. This really adds to the pleasant experience. The place gets quite busy on the weekends and holidays during the day (we mostly came for lunch)

Wow! The Chilean burrata with prosciutto was soooo good. There were a few flavour combinations that were so clever: the creamy clean burrata with (i) the pickled gherkin (sliced cucumber actually), (ii) the salty prosciutto and (iii) the sweet succulent miso eggplants - or what I think was miso. The pork croquettes were also good even if I thought the pork flavour was strong (and I can take strong pork flavours). The sublime peach flavoured mousse helped to mask the strong flavour somewhat though. For the mains, the chicken Caesar which was interestingly offered as a chicken thigh done confit style with anchovy, lettuce leaves and croutons. The chicken meat fell off the bones - the sous vide process did its work! What could have lifted the dish to 5 stars is if they could use crisp romaine lettuce instead of what I thought was regular green leaf which was limp. The ramen was comforting with a perfect and flavoursome hanjuku egg. What detracted from the dish was the overwhelming and heavy use of sesame oil. It crossed the line from being a fragrance enhancer to overpowering even the mighty kimchi which became lost. Presentation wise, it would have been great to be able to see the noodles and ingredients. Finally the torta rocher for dessert was a great study of textures. The flaky crust worked with the brittle crunchiness of the pralines. Taste wise it was sweet for me - best to have this with a bitter coffee or a clean tasting tea.

Bold flavours and great dish presentation. This is by far the best culinary experience I had in Chile. Definitely a few levels above everything I tried. We went for the Omakase experience, letting the chef chose for us. The venue is also beautiful and the service very friendly and attentive. Book a seat by the kitchen to get a full experience!

Very nice restaurant. Great atmosphere and food. Deserts are delicious , the pastry chef might be French as they remind me of famous French deserts.

Sat at the chefs table and really enjoyed watching the team at work. Food and drinks were excellent. Highly recommend visiting if in the area.

Dinner was absolutely amazing. The shaven foie gras dish was to die for. We sat at the kitchen counter and seeing the chefs work was a great experience. We also had the duck and the flavor combinations was amazing. Truly a great experience. We came here partly after seeing Feed Phil on Netflix but it's trully worth a visit. Especially at the new location at MUT (which is also worth visiting by itself). Keep in mind that reservations are highly recommended especially for dinner.
