Sant Ambroeus finally opens its doors in Paris, bringing the Milanese art of living to the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The renowned house serves refined Italian cuisine, iconic coffees and pastries, in a warm and elegant setting. A new institution to embrace from morning to night.

Heads up, a new hotspot on the scene! Nestled in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Sant Ambroeus Paris arrives with all the glamour of Dolce Vita. A fresh address that blends Italian hospitality, refined Milanese cuisine, and timeless elegance — all in a chic, welcoming atmosphere.

Already an icon in Milan since 1936, then a cult venue in New York, Palm Beach and Aspen, the renowned Italian restaurant finally opens its doors in Paris, in the 6th arrondissement, at the former Silencio des Prés. Here they celebrate the great Milanese classics: vitello tonnato, cotoletta alla Milanese, risotto and osso buco, but also Italian staples subtly twisted by America and a few Parisian signatures like beef carpaccio. A generous, comforting cuisine, executed with precision by Chef Oliviero Umberto Amedeo Borgna. At the bar, cocktails are masterfully shaken while the finest Italian vintages accompany the Milanese essentials.

Open from morning till night, Sant Ambroeus Paris carries on the Milanese café tradition with a classic coffee. Here you can enjoy espresso, cappuccino, cornetti, paninis, creamy pastries and iconic desserts, dine-in or take-away. The spot becomes the ultimate haven for a stylish coffee break as well as a dinner that lingers.

The design by Fabrizio Casiraghi tells of a meeting between Milanese heritage and Parisian flair: warm woodwork, black-and-white mosaic, plush velvet, and sculptural lighting. And by the bar, stained-glass reliefs in color celebrate Milan and New York, a nod to the house’s cosmopolitan spirit. A modern salon for Parisians and travelers alike, a place to gather, to slow down… and to return. Buon appetito, Paris!
