Amelia’s gastronomic proposal is based on quality and seasonal products cooked with fine technique. Paulo Airaudo presents one of his original creations.
After 14 years of cooking his way through the world Argentinean chef Paulo Airaudo last year settled down in the Basque Country, where he from scratch created an ambitious dining project, Amelia, and remarkably early has earned his seat at the coveted high table of grand chefs and restaurateurs in one of the most recognised culinary destinations of the world, by being awarded a coveted Michelin star just 7 months after opening Amelia.
