Probably one of the best meals ever! The Wine Tasting Event at The Ambrette Margate was fabulous. This was 27th May 2012 and the menu was as follows: Soft Shell crab with gold fried spices, paired with Metevista Viognier Reserva Tender and sweet brochettes of local lamb marinated with pickles and charcoal roasted, paired with Sablets “La Citadelle” Tender breasts...

We went to the wine tasting evening at Ambrette last night and I want to comment before I forget just how wonderful it all was. Six delicious courses paired with excellent wines, attentive polite service and a lovely ambience.

After a lovely walk to the restaurant, we were warmly welcomed with an appetiser whilst we ordered our meal. We enjoyed a bottle of Temperillo Rioja with calves liver and a mackerill special followed by a delicious lamb and Gressingaham duck. We always enjoy our meal at this special place and have done so since its inauguration. The staff are... More
