Ambrosía serves Chilean French cuisine, while incorporating elements of other Latin American cuisine. The restaurant is hidden in a residential area and was renovated from an independent house, with different rooms becoming different dining areas. Pushing open the iron gate outside, the yard is full of green plants, and the exterior walls of the low-rise house are covered with green vines. The interior of the restaurant is full of details, with various small bonsai embellishments and small furnishings, which are dazzling. This environment reminds me of Suhring, a restaurant in Bangkok, where it is also such a leisurely afternoon, with the sun lazily pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
The menu is only in Spanish, and a waiter will come to translate it into English. There are not many lunch dishes, with one page each for the appetizer, main course, and dessert.
The buns are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they are delicious with seasoned butter.
Foie gras rallado, with poached apple and brittle. Foie gras crumbs with apples and hard candy crumbs. I didn't know it was cold when I ordered it. When it came, the brittle was hard and sticky, which was totally different from the soft and melt-in-the-mouth foie gras crumbs. The taste was weird.
Mozzarella with basil pesto, red fruits and prosciutto. Mozzarella cheese is very fresh and sweet, paired with strawberry, grape ham, and mixed with basil pesto. This combination is safe and creative, I like it.
Fresh pasta: homemade linguine, grana padano sauce, seaweed, and powder of shiitake. Freshly made handmade pasta, paired with grana padano cheese sauce, seaweed, mushrooms, and enoki mushroom powder. It's another traditional and safe method with a little creativity. This is the first time I've seen the combination of seaweed and enoki mushroom powder in pasta. Surprisingly, the overall taste is very rich and the sauce is very delicious.
Fish of the day, with cauliflower purée and vegetables. The fish is simple to cook, fried until slightly browned on the outside, and paired with cauliflower puree and vegetables. It looks plain, but tastes very good.
The dishes here are not fancy, tartare, fish, pasta, burgers, but each of the ordinary dishes we ordered has unique details, which makes people very happy.
