The most sophisticated and cosmopolitan of Italian establishments has finally opened in Paris, right in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Founded in Milan in 1936, this café, so typical of Milanese life, is open from morning till night, catering to both light and heavy appetites. Having become a cult favorite on Madison Avenue, in Soho, and in the West Village, as well as in Palm Beach and Aspen, it retains the blend of gastronomy, lifestyle, and aesthetics that has made it so successful.

A place that lives according to the desires of its clientele, which is at once arty, elegant, and discreet. Espresso, cappuccino, lattes, and cornettos in the early morning in the café adjoining the restaurant. Panini and antipasti are available at any time, and people also come to relax in the afternoon while enjoying the famous Princess Cake, the pink cake that has become the signature of Sant Ambroeus.

We also like to drink a perfectly shaken cocktail at the bar before lunch or dinner and enjoying the authentic Milanese cuisine of Chef Oliviero Umberto Amedeo Borgna: vitello tonnato, cotoletta alla Milanese, risotto and osso buco, but also essential recipes of Italian cuisine, the unmissable Avocado Toast and some dishes created especially for this new Parisian address, accompanied by the best transalpine wines.

For the decoration, Fabrizio Casiraghi, who already decorated the Sant Ambroeus in Milan in 2022, chose to blend Milanese heritage and Parisian spirit: sculpted woodwork, mosaics, Italian marble, soft olive green velvet for the sofas; the atmosphere is chic and warm everywhere, wonderfully mixing Parisian chic, Milanese elegance and New York cosmopolitanism.
