Finally back at 2* @restaurantamelia by @paulo_airaudo in San Sebastián - this time at its new location inside @hotelvillafavorita! Dining at the restaurant was like entering the chef’s playground with quirky references to Pulp Fiction, Star Wars and more all over the space. Dubbed Italian Omakase, the tasting menu is prepared using high quality seasonal ingredients from small producers. Complimenting the creative cuisine are 5 different pairing options - including...

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....

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

Highlights of my great meal last week in Amelia, a 2-star Michelin fine dining restaurant in San Sebastian by Paulo Airado. Most brilliant dishes are based on great quality seafood, even the signature dessert (rum ice cream, mole) is topped with a generous spoon of caviar.

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.

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

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.

Second visit at Amelia. Paulo is clearly pushing hard and developing his cuisine.
This restaurant is going places.
