Had the fish and chips, the cotoletta and the fish of the day (sea bream). We enjoyed all the dishes. Saw a comment about soggy fish. The recipe they use here is tempura and the fish was cooked as it should be cooked (not overcooked but just right). I find this restaurant to be good value for money with good service and a very nice ambience.

What an amazing evening... My parents came to Malta to visit us, and we took the opportunity to try Ambra with them. Cocktails, food menu, service, atmosphere, it ticks all the boxes!! We had a wonderful time, and the food was succulent. Definitely a place to recommend!

Beef Carpaccio
We had been wanting to visit Ambra for quite a while and an opportunity to visit arose during the Christmas holidays. The restaurant invites you into warm calm colours and attentive details that underline subtle elegance. Ambra brings in the familiar with the experimental, so every food serving is a surprise that heightens the visual and the taste buds. We had the tasting menu and so had the palatable opportunity of trying a variety of dishes, from ravioli, seafood pasta with chickpea sauce, rabbit meatloaf complemented by delicious sides and sauce, and so much more. I certainly am unable to accurately elaborate on the distinct textures and flavours prepared. Everything is made with such attentiveness combining the finesse of food textures, fresh flavours and creative presentation.
If you are all for stepping in an alternative ambience which is rarely found elsewhere, into a restaurant of excellent character, right into a passionate culinary experience, I would beyond question visit Ambra and allow Chef Davide Ospite's techniques and personality to take you on a relishing trip with his food and mastery.

We had an Amazing experience!
The food tasted so good, we loved every dish we had.
They had gluten free options, which was important.
Got a perfect wine option, which we took. Suggest wine is amazing.
Appetizers were great. Must try beef carpaccio with their special sauce, it’s something you won’t try anywhere.
Fish tasted great, the gluten free linguine pasta was something new and delicious.
A must place to visit if you are a tourist or a local.
Will be back to try other options.

Absolutely amazing!!! The food was something special indeed. The chef was sweet enough to come out and greet the patrons and have a chat. Recommended one of the more interesting items on the menu... the homemade pasta with a zesty bisque and mussels topping! And the dessert! Oh wow!
Must try to appreciate. We'll certainly be back again!!!

We visited Ambra restaurant on one of those bridge days between Christmas and New Year's day. Chef Davide Ospite greeted us with his beaming, enthusiastic smile - visibly eager to make us taste his new culinary creations. The place itself is majestic, adorned with high ceilings and grandiose rooms yet unassuming, especially thanks to the unobtrusive table lights, specifically chosen by Davide to complement your experience rather than conflict with the latter. I'll refrain from going into the details of what we consumed since I'm sure I won't do justice neither to the laboriously decorated dishes, almost to millimetric precision, nor to their respective burst of flavours. More so since at Ambra the menu changes constantly, which is very refreshing considering the serious lack of novelty in local restaurants. Instead I'll simply post two photos of the dishes which I liked the most, both based on fish. Davide offered us various tastings, which came in either 3, 5 or 7 samples. This might sound as meagre, but stuffing yourself is not the point here, the focus is (and should be) on pushing (and developing) your taste buds to other limits. Without any excessive pompousness, Davide went on explaining the dishes we’ll be tasting, peppering his explanations with small anecdotes related to the ingredients used. As the evening progressed, it was evidently clear; Davide managed to effortlessly mix the modest with the complex, the conventional with the uncommon in a seemingly perfect balance without anything overstepping the other.

Excellent service provided by knowledgeable staff. Very attentive to food intolerance/allergy.
Open a few months ago, this is a new restaurant to add on the fine dining list places in rabat. Since it is fine dining, better order several dishes if you have a good appetite ;)

I have recently dined at Ambra restaurant, and I must say that this restaurant has left the best impressions on me. Ambra restaurant offers a cosy ambiance where delicious dishes are prepared with passion, by the amazing chef Davide. The dishes that my friends and I chose, were creative, demonstrating that Davide clearly understands the flavours, textures and technique to create delicious and visually appealing dishes.
I suggest opting for the tasting menu for an enhanced experience in this beautiful restaurant. Dishes are reasonably priced. I will definitely visit again.

Fantastic night at Ambra in the heart of Rabat. Our experience there was nothing short of delightful. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was delicious and meticulously prepared.
For starters, we ordered the linguine, pacchieri, and tortelli. Each one was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the sauces were well-balanced and flavorful. For our main courses, two of us opted for the skirt steak while I chose the John Dory. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and were packed with flavor. The skirt steak was tender and juicy, while the John Dory was melt-in-your-mouth delicate and fresh. To round it all off, we ordered the pistachio millefoglie and lemon cremoso. The millefoglie was light and flaky, and the pistachio flavor really shone through. The lemon cremoso was light and refreshing, all in all the perfect way to end a fantastic meal.
I would highly recommend a visit!
