The Ambassador Cafe

About The Ambassador Cafe

Exmouth Market has more than its fair share of critically-acclaimed restaurants, the Ambassador Café among them. For all its fame, decked out in grey lino flooring, white globe lights and Formica tables, it looks rather unremarkable. All the detail has cleverly gone into the terrific, 'I wan't everything' Modern European menu. There’s breakfast (buttermilk pancakes with treacle bacon), Sunday brunch (Macaroni cheese), a great-value set lunch, and dinner. Oh, the dinner. Talk about mouthwatering... Perfectly poached halibut in the sweet, savoury juices of carrots, cabbage and Alsace bacon combined. Braised pork belly with fluffy gnocchi, bulbous broad beams and garlic. Gorgeous stuff. And that's before you've got to the 'oh yummy!' dessert list. When the sun's a shinin', you can eat outside on the cobbled market street. Nice.
