“Ambrossia is designed to be a place where people feel valued from the moment they walk in,” the founders said. “Fine dining should be memorable and meaningful, but also warm and personal.”

Celebrating Filipino Talent in the Kitchen
Ambrossia PH brings together a powerhouse culinary team whose experience spans global kitchens, cruise-line fine dining, and heritage Filipino cuisine.

He lends his signature style to heritage-focused plates such as Urduja’s Pinakbet, reimagining classic Filipino vegetables and flavors through refined culinary craftsmanship.
Chef Cesar Aguilar, celebrated for crafting iconic Filipino dishes, brings depth to Ambrossia’s comfort-driven menu. His mastery of traditional Filipino recipes contributes to favorites like the Classic Pork Ribs, prepared with slow-cooked techniques and bold local flavors.
Rounding out the team is Chef Pablo “Boy” Logro, a legendary Filipino Executive Chef whose royal kitchen experience includes serving international dignitaries and global leaders. His influence is reflected in elite menu offerings such as the Avocats aux Crevettes, a dish once served to royalty and now presented at Ambrossia as part of its elevated dining program.
