Ambrosia Wine, a restaurant in the heart of Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur is newly renovated and open in September 2018. We were honoured to be invited to a lovely dinner there last week. The new Ambrosia Wine And Tapas Bar is now offering over 300 brands of wine, Japanese Whisky, Single Malt Whisky and Craft Beers; and delicious Pizza, Tapas, Pasta, creative grill, and combined local traditions of local fusion cuisine prepared by their amazing new chef.
Inspired by industrial interior design embodies the energy of European wine cellar with the laid back atmosphere, Ambrosia Wines and Tapas Bar is a cozy living and dining room for friends and family. Private rooms with Karaoke system for group and couples that wants privacy are also available here. Designed with relaxed approach to good food made for sharing, and pairing, each dish has been created in tandem philosophy on the relationship between food and wine; one should enhance the other, and both should be equally, and simply enjoyed.
During the food tasting, we have tasted the 3 wines that were specially brought in by Ambrosia all the way from Australia. Each of them are unique in their own taste, and great to pair with the fantastic tapas that Ambrosia offered.
Pioneer Road Cabernet Sauvignon
Pioneer Road Cabernet Sauvignon
Grape Variety – Cabernet Sauvignon
Selected Shiraz from premium vineyards throughout Langhorne Creek was vinified using a combination of fermentation styles and American oask, to highlight the regional characteristics. The wine has lifted aromas of spice, dark cherry and plums, with a rich-full-flavoured palate of forest fruits and vanilla, finishing with soft tannins and excellent length.
It tastes great now and will reward patient cellaring.
It is great to pair with gourmet pizza and red meat dishes, hence we have pair it with menu below;
Supreme Pulled Pork Pizza (RM 21)

There is a great intensity of fruit in 'Sfera' that showcases the excellent viticultutal practices that we strive for. The intense fruit is matched by concentration of colour with excellent palate and flavour complexity, largely attributable to the quality of winemakeing. 'Sfera' Shiraz is a fantastic expression of the uniqueness of Wirrega Vineyards.
Shiraz is good to pair with meat, hence we had the food below to pair with Sfera Shiraz.

We have truly enjoyed ourselves at Ambrosia Wine And Tapas Bar that night. Not only we had a great wines tasting along with light, but tasty tapas that were served by friendly, knowledgeable staff. We took our time and did not feel rushed in the home-feeling restaurant. We left with our pallets satisfied but not overfilled. Ambrosia Wine And Tapas Bar is sure to be a neighborhood go-to bar from Monday through Saturday.
