What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ambrosia Bistro offers a highly regarded culinary experience with creative dishes and attentive service, often highlighted by its open kitchen concept. While many praise the bold flavors and elegant presentation, some diners have encountered issues with service speed and value for money, with one review noting challenges with dietary accommodations.
"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!"

"Similar to the restaurant, visited because of the book Chef Wise. The ambience is amazing. With great view of the Andes in the background reflected on the mirroring walls. Chic concept. Good service. Food ok, better than the ambrosia restaurant but not mind blowing.
The mall this restaurant is located, MUT is AWESOME though."

"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)"
