Frommer's Review

Tucked behind the Casa Colorado Museum (enter the museum and cross the patio to get here), Ambrosía is a chic little eatery and quiet haven from the boisterous downtown street outside. The menu features an eclectic offering of Peruvian, French, and Italian dishes, each prepared blending creative flavors and elements for a decidedly eclectic menu. Examples include panko-breaded shrimp in peanut sauce, beef tenderloin with candied carrots, and sea bass with port sauce and shiitake mushrooms. There are also fresh salads, and a few wild cards like a BLT sandwich. With its patio dining, this restaurant is ideal for summer days. Service is friendly, too, and attentive in a way common with a family business.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
