The AmberRoom, a restaurant with a storied history spanning from Berlin to Saint Petersburg and now Islamabad, has found a new home in the F6 sector of the city. Housed on the second floor of a building near other popular eateries, the AmberRoom stands out with its Japandi-inspired interior, featuring soft neutral tones, comfortable seating, and a single glassed indoor tree. The restaurant offers a unique dining experience, with a menu that includes a wide assortment of breakfast options, coffee selections, and viennoiserie.
During a visit for breakfast, the reviewer opted for an Earl Grey Matcha Latte (Rs1,650) and a Spanish Latte (Rs790), both of which were praised for their unique flavors. The breakfast menu offered a variety of options, including croissants, whipped ricotta with tomato and basil, avocado smash, cold cuts, and scrambled eggs. The reviewer also tried a full breakfast with a corn fritter (Rs2,050) and a Tiramisu French Toast, which was described as innovative but not perfect.
The food arrived in about 15 to 20 minutes, with portions that were small for the price but satisfying. The scrambled eggs were highlighted for their custardy texture and balanced seasoning, while the avocado smash and whipped ricotta were noted for their complementary flavors. The corn fritter was praised for its innovative presentation and the Tiramisu French Toast for its airy texture and punchy fruit combination.
The AmberRoom's lunch-dinner menu was described as all over the place, with options ranging from French viennoiserie to Italian spaghetti puttanesca, spinach and ricotta, a smashed burger, and Japanese matcha. The restaurant serves breakfast from 9am till noon on weekdays, lunch from 1:30pm onwards, and the last order of the day is at 10:15pm.
