TAPAS RESTAURANT OPENS IN MALTON
4 June sees the opening of a Tapas restaurant, Ambiente, in the premises of the former Milton's café in Market Place, Malton.
Ambiente, Spanish for Ambience, aims to use organically produced food, ethically raised meat and a large selection of organic and vegetarian wines. Spanish beers will also be served.
Ambiente will be open from11.30am to 10.30pm and for light breakfasts at the weekend. There are 50 covers including a private dining room for ten people.
Andrew Baskeyfield is the general manager and has over 14 years experience in the hotel and catering trade and was formerly at the Quality Hotel in York. Head chef Fernando has 30 years experience in Mediterranean and Spanish fine dining.
Andrew says: “Whilst the emphasis is on Spanish food and drink it will not be exclusive to tapas. Having researched suitable locations for several months, we believe the Ryedale area provides an ideal opportunity for us to present a high quality service in a relaxed atmosphere.
“We are also on the look out for local suppliers, so would welcome hearing in particular from local producers of organic or ethically produced meats.”
Roddy Bushell, estate manager at Fitzwilliam Estates, Ambiente’s landlord adds; “There is a food scene developing within Malton that provides a rich variety of eating experiences. Ambiente has a high profile location within the Market Place and we have worked hard to ensure the building was ready and available to meet their tight deadline for opening.”
