Offering some of the most sought after banquet halls in the city, this restaurant has two rooms on offer. First is its namesake room, L’Ambroisie, with its arresting Greco-Roman columns, baroque styling, and a Hollywood art deco bar. This dreamy room seats120 guests. Second is the Canal Room. Decked out in urban chic and looking very cosmopolitan, this well-known room offers seating for as many as 275 guests. Each room has its own dance floor with audio-visual appointments, a spacious terrace, and a full service designer bar.

Best Wedding Venue Ever!

We had our wedding at L'Espace Canal this past weekend and I am so glad that we chose this venue! First, L'Espace canal is absolutely beautiful. Second, our venue coordinator (Alexandra) and the L'Ambroisie/L'Espace Canal chefs and staff were fantastic throughout the entire engagement/planning process. The venue worked closely with us to customize a Southern Food buffet station to reflect my Georgia (USA) roots. They were open to suggested recipe changes, and the food turned out great - our guests were raving! Alexandra was extremely responsive to emails (normally within 24 hours) during the planning process. Alexandra and the other venue staff also did an amazing job setting up the decorations and coordinating the arrival of other vendors. I did not have to worry about a thing on my wedding day - everything was beautiful and set up exactly to my specifications. During the wedding, the staff and bartenders were very professional and attentive to both us as bride and groom, as well as our guests. Our wedding was at L'Espace Canal was an absolute dream. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Belle expérience avec l'équipe de l'Ambroisie

L'équipe de l'Ambroisie m'a très bien accompagnée dans les préparatifs. Dietrich a été le coordonnateur qui s'occupait spécialement de mon mariage. Il a répondu rapidement à mes courriels, m'a bien aidée à préparer mon grand jour. Mon mari et moi sommes très satisfaits.

Perfect venue perfect coordinator

I instantly clicked with Alexandra and my husband and I felt in love with the venue. We did not even bother visiting many venues, this one was the 2nd. Alexandra knows her job very well and her and I worked together to plan a lovely event that was simply a reflection of our couple. Of course no event is ever perfect but it was very close to perfection. All our guests were happy, the food was great, and everyone was happy! Thank you Alexandra and team!

Very helpful and professional. Beautiful venue.

The venue itself was beautiful, barely needed any decorations since it spoke for itself. The food at the reception was delicious, several guests made special mention of it. The staff were all lovely, helpful, and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience leading up and including our big day. 10/10

Enchanting Ambroisie

We had our wedding at L'Ambroisie in May 2024. It was great! The location is ideal ( ceremony, cocktail hour, reception), offers overnight parking if needed. Staff is accommodating to special requests and really go out of their way to make it happen. Price is well worth it and very reasonable and they offer many options. Amazing open bar, great DJ. They recommend vendors that are good to use because they know the venue inside and out. The food is SO good and there are many options to chose from. Great places to take photos as well. Overall, beautiful venue, great staff, amazing wedding !!
