    The entire meal was spectacular. Each dish was exquisite and unlike any other preparation I have had. The pace was relaxed and the chef’s explanations were very clear. Absolutely one of the finest meals I’ve ever had!

    Le pigeon was excellent and the asperges with sauce pistachio were favorites with very attentive service. Wine pairing was very nice too.

    Booked as a birthday surprise. The food was excellent! Amuse bouches were delightful. The pigeon and steak wonderful. And the desserts delicious. Sadly, other reservations had been cancelled so we had the restaurant to ourselves. I highly recommend eating here!

    Chef serving food and explaining in English. Discount for food very welcome. Amuse bouches were a welcome extra. Lovely building.

    Excellent dishes. Smart, creative, original food, requiring superb qualifications by the entire kitchen staff. Fresh produce and free spirit create a new standard for lovers of French cuisine. Service, by the owner, is personal, attentive, professional and very efficient.

    This was our second time to go to L'Ambroissy. It was fantastic. We had the 5 course chef tasting and wines paired with it. Everything was prepared so well The chef served us and explained each course. We can't wait to return!

    Wow what a treat! A quintessentially French fine dining experience, perfect from start to finish. With this quality the set menu price was in fact excellent value - every dish was fascinating and truly delicious. Unexpected combinations and subtle touches. Highest mark to the fish course from us! Presented in a beautiful old building with many original features, the ambiance was peaceful but interesting, A real discovery in such a small town, felt really luck to have booked a hotel there! Vence itself is very very charming -right out of a travel magazine!

    It was Nice overall. we booked the menu on TheFork, but they told us that the price is no longer valid and that if we need certain dishes (that are included in the menu on TheFork), we need to pay extra.

    We were very happy to make the trip to L’Ambroisy restaurant. The setting was in a very cute setup in a very old arched room. The food was fantastic and the Pigeon dish was the best we have ever had. Definitely worth a re-visit.

    We were glad to discover a new restaurant in Vence. It was a great experience! Nice ambience, very nice wine list and great food! The service was attentive and pleasing. The chef came to greet us at the end of our meal! We will return next visit to Vence!

    We come here regularly because the food and service are both consistently superb. There is nothing we have not liked a lot. We especially enjoy the interesting, lovely touches, such as the leaves from Japan (with the foie gras), the edible flowers and tiny greens that decorate the dishes.

    A classic/modern restaurant that works hard to achieve gastronomic results. The setting is a bit spartan, but the food, wine and service demonstrate a commitment to delivering the quality and finesse one cherishes in the french culinary tradition.

    We love this restaurant and vow to go more often. The ambiance is romantic and intimate. The service is attentive and polished without being overbearing. The Food is AMAZING - original, works of art and DELICIOUS. You know how sometimes food that is a work of art is not that tasty? Well, that doesn't happen here at all! Everything is beautiful and so satisfyingly good. It's remarkably good value for the quality and portion sizes.

    The restaurant is in a small road near the centre with a football geound near it. There is little ambience, the focus is clearly on the food. The menu is very traditional pidgeon, foie gras and frogs legs starters. Nothing for vegetarians and “no sir chef cannot do a salad…” Main courses were fine, desserts were better. Wine list was fine. Conclusion an early 1990s restaurant with well executed food (though not anywhere near the current 9,5 rating) and ropy service.

    We live in Valbonne only 30 minutes from Vence. We have tried almost every restaurant in the area in the last 10 years. This little place was recommended to us by a friend. We came today and I can really say it is one of the tastiest restaurants I have been to. Food was absolutely delicious, we were 4 of us and we all thought the same The service was brilliant The place is cosy with a lot of charm Really I cant say anything negative about it, I will come back again and I will highly recommend it to all my friends

    we arrived on a late - off season - Sunday around 21.30. No other guests but (therefore) perfect service. Dishes surprisingly good. And outstanding (local) wines. Not a bargain.
