Another visit last year to what is now my favourite restaurant in San Sebastián, @restaurantamelia Amelia. Two stars came very quickly for @paulo_airaudo and his team once they moved into the beautiful location at the Villa Favorita hotel, and three will surely follow very soon. Mark my words. A must visit when in the area.

Another visit to ⭐️⭐️ @restaurantamelia by Paulo Airaudo in San Sebastián. This restaurant just keeps going from strength to strength. We had a procession of faultless and stunningly flavourful dishes with strong influences from Japan. It’s great to see Paulo’s empire slowly growing in these tough times, with several openings in San Sebastián itself aswell as in Barcelona and a future three star I would think at the Four Seasons hotel in HongKong....

Yes he’s a friend, but I do try to be impartial and not rave about a restaurant unless I do truly believe it’s worthy of a strong recommendation, as Amelia certainly is. San Sebastián’s very own Frantzén, and their next three ⭐️ I’m sure.

Amelia
Snapshot from the counter at Amelia watching the work of Argentinian Chef Paulo Airaudo and his team as I delight myself with a dish of Blue Lobster and Pumpkin - a highlight of a sequence of delicious courses on the set menu.
A focus on exceptional ingredients, technique perfectionism and good teamwork. @paulo_airaudo @restaurantamelia

5th visit
Paulo Airuado keeps on pushing hard, he creates new dishes and refines some of his signature dishes.
The cuisine is modern and very flavourful. Most of the dishes are well calibrated and in their simplicity very powerful.
He must be on the radar of the Guide Michelin for a promotion to 2 stars.
Someone is a Star Wars fan 🤔

Dinner a few weeks ago at ⭐️ restaurant Amelia in San Sebastián. Finally I am catching up to the trip to San Sebastián last month for the annual OAD (Opinionated About Dining) awards. More on that later but I was happy for my first meal back in San Sebastián, literally straight off the plane, to be at Paulo Airaudo’s restaurant Amelia. I had recently visited his London outpost Da Terra at the old Typing Room and Viajante site in Bethnal Green and so was keen to visit the Mother ship as it... More
Dinner a few weeks ago at ⭐️ restaurant Amelia in San Sebastián. Finally I am catching up to the trip to San Sebastián last month for the annual OAD (Opinionated About Dining) awards. More on that later but I was happy for my first meal back in San Sebastián, literally straight off the plane, to be at Paulo Airaudo’s restaurant Amelia. I had recently visited his London outpost Da Terra at the old Typing Room and Viajante site in Bethnal Green and so was keen to visit the Mother ship as it were. Also I was excited for him to be cooking later that week at the OAD ‘New to the List’ dinner where chefs that break in to the OAD top 100 European restaurant list are invited to cook one of their signature dishes at the awards ceremony (or massive piss up as I prefer to call it)
Paulo was there cooking for his 22 diners a tasting menu that draws influence from his Argentinian and Italian heritage, focusing on seasonal and sustainable produce provided by small producers that share his values and philosophy.
Having traveled and cooked in restaurants such as Arzak (⭐️⭐️⭐️), The Fat Duck (⭐️⭐️⭐️) and Magnolia (⭐️) it seems that he is now happy to settle in a town like San Sebastián where the eyes of the world’s chefs and food lovers are seemingly constantly focused. Indeed the restaurant is named from his daughter so it seems as though he has found his home here and I look forward to visiting again very soon.
Plus he’s a massive Star Wars fan as you will see from the pictures so because of this he is already a good egg in my book?
Highly recommended. Less
The rising star of San Sebastian, the first non-native Chef to get a star in this city which has plenty.
A modern cuisine based on Paulo Airaudo's home country with European influences.
I would be not surprised if he gets second star soon.
Visit #4
Second visit at Amelia. Paulo is clearly pushing hard and developing his cuisine.
This restaurant is going places.
