A Culinary Experience Cooked Live, Just for You

Our summer BBQs and méchouis are more than just a meal – they're an interactive event. Our talented chefs take center stage right on the terrace, cooking your chosen fare live for everyone to see.

Your Vision, Our Expertise: Direct Interaction with the Chef

At L’Ambroisie et L’Espace Canal, we believe that great food should be personal—and that starts with direct access to the person behind it all. For over 20 years, Chef Owner Stuart Abrams has been the driving force behind the culinary identity and event experience at L’Ambroisie. As a hands-on founder who built the business from the ground up, Stuart brings unmatched passion and attention to detail to every event.

Whether you want your steak cooked to perfection or prefer a specific cut of meat for the méchoui, your guests can speak directly with Stuart to tailor the menu to their tastes. It’s this one-on-one interaction that elevates each event, transforming it from a standard gathering into a custom-crafted celebration.

Backed by a family-operated philosophy and Stuart’s clear vision—from curated turn-key packages and menus to thoughtful room layouts and amenities—L’Ambroisie et L’Espace Canal offers more than just a venue. It offers an experience where nothing is off the rack and everything is built with your guests in mind.
