Ami – A Worthy Michelin-Starred Oasis in the Heart of the City.Nestled in the bustling core of Central, Ami at Alexander House is a tranquil retreat from urban chaos, where refined French cuisine meets understated elegance. Recently awarded a well-deserved Michelin star, this intimate restaurant delivers an experience that balances sophistication with warmth—a rare feat in the world of fine dining. Under the helm of acclaimed chefs Nicolas Boutin and Léa Coulanges, Ami reinterprets classic French techniques with modern finesse. The menu speaks for itself: dishes are meticulously crafted, showcasing seasonal ingredients with precision and artistry. From delicate seafood preparations to flawlessly executed meats, each plate reflects the chefs’ mastery and passion. The Showstopper Dish for me was Chef Nicolas Boutin’s Seafood Vol-Au-Vent. This iconic pastry—a golden, featherlight puff dome—cracks open to reveal a luxurious treasure of plump langoustines, buttery scallops, and tender lobster, all swathed in a velvety bisque-infused cream sauce. 🤤The shatter of crisp pastry gives way to silken seafood, each bite layered with contrasts. This dish isn’t just food—it’s a love letter to French haute cuisine, executed with the precision of a Michelin-starred kitchen and the soul of a Parisian bistro. Best paired I feel with a white Burgundy to mirror the dish’s opulence and acidity. The ambiance strikes a perfect chord relaxed yet polished, with soft lighting and thoughtful design that invites lingering. Unlike some Michelin-starred venues that lean into formality, this is no ‘library’ restaurant.To finish you could grab a Whisky from the vast array of whisky. I personally prefer a good peat whisky to round off a perfect night.…查看更多
