What you should know about Ambos.
Ambos is best known for being founded by chef Giuliano Sperandio after leading the two MICHELIN Star kitchen of Taillevent, where years of classical French training inspired him to establish a more personal restaurant marrying refined French gastronomy with the bold flavors and convivial spirit of the Iberian Peninsula. Opened in 2023, Ambos presents an evolving seasonal menu shaped by direct relationships with artisan producers, sustainably sourced seafood, carefully selected meats, exceptional French vegetables, and Spanish culinary traditions, while the restaurant earned rapid recognition from the MICHELIN Guide for Sperandio's precise technique, restrained creativity, and sophisticated interpretation of contemporary European cuisine.
Delicately grilled seafood develops gentle smokiness beneath luminous shellfish reductions, while perfectly matured meats arrive alongside intensely flavored jus, seasonal vegetables, and energetic garnishes that showcase impeccable classical technique. Iberian influences emerge through exceptional jamón, premium olive oils, subtle spice, and carefully balanced sauces that complement. House-baked breads accompany thoughtfully composed courses before refined desserts conclude the tasting with remarkable freshness, texture, and balance, while a meticulously curated wine program reinforces the sequence of flavors throughout a dining experience where chef Giuliano Sperandio's disciplined precision and seasonal philosophy remain unmistakable in every plate.
