Au Plaisir Ambré
05100 Briançon
Located on the main street of the Vauban citadel, this restaurant features a recently renovated dining room with a bright interior and a strong use of wood. The large glass frontage brings in natural light, while the attentive welcome contributes to a relaxed and approachable atmosphere.
The menu highlights well-balanced, flavour-driven dishes. Starters may include a courgette gazpacho with olive oil, served with tomato sorbet and fresh goat’s cheese mousse. For the main course, duck breast is prepared with care, accompanied by lime-infused houmous and fresh raspberries for contrast.
Run for more than ten years by Michaël Chassigneux, this address has become a consistent reference point in Briançon.
