🧀✨ Raclette Nights are coming to Ambler!

Join us for a cosy French-style evening around our large communal table, with traditional music, shared apéritif platters, melted raclette cheese, charcuterie, potatoes, and good vibes all night.

You’ll get your own raclette pan to melt the cheese until golden, bubbling perfection — the proper way. 🇫🇷

Only $60 per person
Includes shared French apéritif platters, raclette, charcuterie, potatoes, and a little glass of traditional Génépi from the owner before you leave.
Legend says it helps with digestion… but that may just be a rumour 😉

The evening starts at 6:30 PM, so don’t be late!

Please let us know about any allergies or dietary requirements when booking, including vegetarian options.

Please note: Raclette Night is served around our large communal table, so smaller groups may be sharing the experience with other cheese lovers.

We love seeing all the dogs around Ambler, so we’ll be sharing some of their cute faces here too 🐾
A big thank you to for helping us spoil our furry customers.

One Last Long Summer Evening at Ambler 🌅

We are thrilled to invite you to One Last Long Summer Evening before daylight saving comes to an end.

Join us on Sunday 5th April from 5 PM as we celebrate summer and enjoy one final long evening together with the neighbourhood.

Everyone is welcome — friends, neighbours, grandparents, kids, and even your dogs! This evening is all about bringing the community together.

✨ To keep the fun going, we’ll have a Best Summer Outfit Contest — think colourful shirts, beach vibes, sunglasses, or anything that celebrates summer. The winner will take home a $50 Ambler voucher.

Feel free to share the event on social media — one lucky guest will go home with a bottle of bubbles.

Since the evening temperature might cool down, feel free to wear or bring a few layers so you stay comfortable while we enjoy the night together.

And don’t worry about what time you head home — the next day is Easter Monday, so you can enjoy the evening without rushing!

What’s on the menu?

Enjoy a generous grazing table featuring amazing products from some of our favourite suppliers.

You can expect charcuterie from L’Authentique, fresh bread from Daily Bread, French cheeses, seasonal vegetables, vegetarian and vegan options, and much more, all generously supported by our trusted suppliers.

🍷 BYO Drinks

This event is BYO (bring your own wine or beer).

Because it is Easter weekend, liquor stores will be closed on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, and we will not be selling alcohol at the restaurant.

👉 Guests are encouraged to purchase their beverages during the week prior to the event.

If you buy your drinks from Pt Chev Organic Wine, you can show your Ambler event ticket during the week and receive 10% off your purchase.

Please plan ahead so you have your drinks ready for the evening

Our team will help with cleanup, but there will be no formal table service — feel free to move around, share tables, and meet new people.
