Go for lunch. There's a great value £30 menu with an optional £12 for a sommelier selection of two glasses of wine, mineral water and coffee. I had that and didn't feel short-changed even as my friend went a la carte, though her £32 starter of lobster salad with garden vegetables was so pretty we texted pics to everyone in our phonebooks.

The portion wasn't stingy and the taste was to die for, but then so was my Lyonnaise salad with its bacon croutons. My escalope of salmon main was ambrosial in its melting lightness, while my pal's £38 Scottish langoustines roasted in herb-infused butter made her exclaim: "There's an artist at work here!" One with a sense of humour, too - the pre-pudding amuse bouche was a bucket of lollipops. Our £10 waffle and choc pudding came with a mini watering can for the sauces. As with all fancy restaurants you have to love the free fluff, not just lollipops but also vegetable crisps so light you could've blown them away, plus a prestarter of four silver spoonfuls of iceberg lettuce on a strip of real lawn. Add complimentary hand-made chocolate petits fours with coffee and even at these prices, we felt this Ambassade was spoiling us.
