What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ambrosia Restaurant is celebrated for its beautiful garden ambiance and innovative Chilean cuisine with international flair. While many praise the exceptional service and creative dishes, some diners found the food to be underwhelming and not worth the price, with occasional service inconsistencies reported.
"Hands down the best meal we had in Santiago. The restaurant is a hidden gem nestled in a residential area. The gardens and decor were beautiful and the service was some of the best. Our waitress had great recommendations and spoke great English. We had the locos and taquitos to start then each got the homemade pasta dishes (truffle and crab). The truffle was my favorite. We ended the meal with the lemon tart which was served in an original way and was absolutely delicious. This is a nicer restaurant definitely worthy of a visit for a special occasion."

"Absolutely amazing experience! From walking into the restaraunt in a beautiful garden to eating outside under the string lights our experience was nothing but fantastic. The food was delicious! The owner stopped by our table which really gives that welcoming experience. I highly recommend this restaraunt! Don’t miss during your stay in Santiago"
Rachel Metz
"Great restaurant with with beautiful gardens and an innovative spin on local favorites. The fish dishes were super fresh and delicious. The local wine selection (by the bottle is excellent). Steak tartar was the star of the show. The pastas were great too. The tiradito and the locos (abalone) - superb. Their presentation is outstanding. A chocolate desert that is a must try."
