Amelia by Paulo Airaudo is a two Michelin Star restaurant located within the iconic Hotel Maria Cristina in San Sebastián. With seating for just 20 guests, the restaurant presents Paulo Airaudo’s contemporary culinary vision through the concept of an “Omakase Italiano”, where trust between chef and guest forms the foundation of the experience.

Inspired by his Italian roots and the sensibility of Japanese culture, Airaudo creates a cuisine that is precise, elegant, and deeply connected to seasonality. The tasting menu evolves continuously according to the finest ingredients available throughout the year, allowing each season to shape the direction and identity of the experience. The sea remains the restaurant’s primary source of inspiration, with exceptional fish and seafood at the heart of the menu. Defined by technical precision, respect for ingredients, and a constant pursuit of balance and subtlety, Amelia is supported by a young, talented, and highly skilled team. Together, they continue to shape a project that evolves with every season while remaining true to its identity.
