ALEXA BRACAMONTES
Food has always been at the heart of who I am. Growing up, it was more than a passion—it was a constant source of inspiration, creativity, and connection. Over the years, that passion evolved into a career deeply rooted in the restaurant and hospitality industry.
I’ve worked hands-on with numerous restaurants, leading concept transformations, menu development, branding, and business consulting, helping brands evolve, refine their identity, and elevate their guest experience. I’ve had the opportunity to work closely alongside Michelin-star–level chef, contributing not only to marketing and creative direction, but also to the overall vision and execution of restaurant concepts.
Catering has always been a dream of mine—one that allowed me to bring everything I love together: food, design, storytelling, and unforgettable experiences. Ambridge is the realization of that vision. It was created to deliver elevated catering that feels intentional, refined, and immersive—where every detail matters, from the menu to the presentation.
This journey would not be complete without the partnership of Jose Martinez, Head Chef, who brings 25 years of restaurant industry experience and has also worked alongside Michelin-star chefs. Together, we share the same commitment to excellence, authenticity, and creating food that leaves a lasting impression.
Ambridge reflects my belief that food should do more than satisfy—it should inspire, connect, and turn moments into memories.
