The story
Amelia by Paulo Airaudo, at Zubieta Kalea 26 in Donostia / San Sebastián, is a two-star Michelin restaurant in 2026 that serves an Italian-Japanese tasting menu built on seasonal fish and shellfish.
The sea is the central element of the kitchen. Amelia calls its approach "Omakase Italiano", where Italian roots meet Japanese flavours in combinations that the restaurant describes as surprising but logical. The menu is seasonal and served to every guest as a tasting menu. Plan on at least 90 minutes at the table.
The restaurant offers three pairing options, from a non-alcoholic pairing at €112 to the Amelia pairing at €192. The wine list earned a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence in 2023. Chef Paulo Airaudo trained at Arzak in San Sebastián and The Fat Duck in London before opening his own kitchens.
