Dear Valued Customers,

The Ambassador Training Restaurant is a TAFE NSW-licensed venue.

Demonstrating our reputation as a leader in education and training for hospitality and culinary students, the students practice delivering fine dining food & develop their skills within an operational environment.

As we are a licenced venue, BYO is not permitted. All dietary requirements must be advised in advance through your OpenTable platform booking. Meals will be served alternate drop, meaning you will not have a choice from the menu and will have limited facility for alterations.

Payments will be made after your meal; we do not accept cash or split bills.

We only take reservations via OpenTable. For larger bookings of 7 people or more, please email ambassador.reservations@tafensw.edu.au

    It was a very enjoyable experience. The food was delicious and very good service. The only suggestion is to provide clear instructions for parking and also information on how and when to book for a buffet going forward.

    Once again another very good experience at The Ambassador Training Restaurant ! The food was even better than usual and the service very good. It is great value for money and it is wonderful seeing the trainees applying what they have learnt in a real-world setting. Well done!

    Delicious meal from the students. Some of the waiters are still learning English but were able to communicate adequately and helped each other. Overall a great meal.

    The amusee bouche was delicious and welcomed with the bread roll as it took quite a while for the entree to arrive. My husband was not impressed by the salmon entree and left most of it. I enjoyed the ravoli - I could taste the pumpkin middles (usually with ravioli I can't) but I found the creamy sauce a bit too rich and overpowering. My husband really enjoyed the duck main and I quite enjoyed the steak, though it was a bit gristley. I would have preferred less steak and more veg. The creme brulee was delicious. The mocktail was nice. We took home the petit fours which were lovely morsels.

    Wonderful dinner prepared and serviced by a group of amazing students. All the food was amazing, especially the sirloin beef and the coconut crème brûlée.

    Difficult to find location. Not told previously that a table of two could not order the same meal. Too many hard surfaces in the room made the room very noisy. A bit difficult to understand some of the servers. Could clearly understand the cooks when they came out at the end of the meal. Some repeats from the meal. Presentation of the meals was excellent.
