what the critics say
Giles Coren - 6.67/10
Saturday, February 21, 2009 - Ambassade is housed in a detached, red-brick Edwardian curio, set back from the main drag with large sofas in the tinted windows and loads of flags on the roof. You might easily mistake it for a posh furniture showroom, or a Lego embassy…For the mains, we had the duck à la presse in two services, since I had spotted the big silver duck press in the corner and already spent half an hour trying to explain to David what it was for. First up came lovely long fillets of breast with their golden, gleaming skin on top and a sauce made from the slightly bitter juices pressed from the carcass…
Marina O'Loughlin - 4/5
Tuesday, August 19, 2008 - Our meal at L'Ambassade de l'Ile costs about £320. For two. With one half bottle of wine (we ask the sommelier to recommend something affordable and get a mini Gevrey Chambertin at £55; affordable by whom, exactly? Paris Hilton?) and a couple of glasses of Gaillac.

Food Snob
Saturday, June 28, 2008 - Arriving at Ambassade, I was instantly recognised by the staff. I was warmly welcomed by restaurant manager, Caroline, who showed me to my table; a table certainly more convivial to solo dining than my previous one as it afforded a direct view of one of the television screens with live-feed to the kitchen. I like to think this was a considerate, intentional gesture made for my benefit. After some very friendly conversation over how the opening had gone so far, the star of my last dinner, Monsieur Remy, came over to greet me. He was to be my serveur-en-chef once again; I was delighted. So far, so good; the omens were favourable. I was eager to eat.
