Chef Christopher Farrugia and his family established their namesake restaurant in the charming seaside village of Marsascala, Malta, when Christopher was just 23 years old. After gaining invaluable experience in London, working alongside renowned chef Marco Pierre White, he returned home with a vision to elevate local cuisine to the standards of Haute Cuisine and international excellence.

In 2003, he opened Ambrosia—a quaint eatery nestled in the heart of Valletta, the historic capital and a UNESCO World Heritage city. Catering primarily to the corporate market, Ambrosia initially focused on serving lunch, offering a stark contrast to the fine dining experience of the previous restaurant. The bistro quickly gained popularity for its uncomplicated yet refined approach, where fresh ingredients and the principles of the slow food movement shaped a relaxed, elegant dining environment.

Today, Ambrosia continues to embody these values, serving an ever-evolving Valletta that now attracts a diverse mix of international visitors, a shrinking corporate clientele, and a close-knit local community. Throughout the years, our unwavering mission remains to offer genuine hospitality, delicious food, and an authentic experience rooted in our culinary heritage.
