Amelia By Paulo Airaudo

We were only able to book a lunch table, unfortunately not dinner, but we were absolutely happy with the experience. The entire journey lasted over three hours and felt truly special. The open kitchen added to the magic — the chefs worked like a perfectly synchronized orchestra. It was a true symphony of culinary art. Every dish was phenomenal and memorable, and the wine pairing was outstanding. We sincerely hope to return again one day.

Absolutely fantastic experience — our favourite meal in Spain after visiting several Michelin-starred restaurants. Everything from the service and setting to the pacing was flawless, but the food was the true highlight. Each dish was inventive, balanced, and beautifully presented, with the langoustine with champagne sauce standing out as one of the best bites of our entire trip. The decor was funky and eclectic, adding personality and warmth to the fine-dining experience. The wine pairing was our favourite overall — thoughtful and well-matched — though we would have appreciated a bit more explanation from the sommelier about each wine’s origin and the reasoning behind the pairings. A truly world-class restaurant, and in our view, very deserving of a third star.

This experience was an exceptional opportunity. We were delighted in every aspect. The food was the finest expression of each ingredient, prepared to perfection and then plated to restore all faith and possibly to our soul. The staff is exceptional. We felt welcomed, and taken care of in every way. The level of professionalism and excellence was unmatched. We were mesmerized by the quiet perfection of the open kitchen, the artistry of the plating and service, as well as the wild creativity of the pairing both alcohol and non-alcoholic. Just fabulous.

A 2 Michelin Star restaurant located in the basement of the hotel. This restaurant serves what it calls "Italian Omakase" - a fusion of Japanese and Italian food. The produce used were undeniably fresh and of high quality. There was extensive use of raw seafood - sashimi style. Some dishes were excellent, highlighting the freshness of the produce. However, some, for example the chawanmushi (steamed egg)?felt overpowered by the sauce. One other thing, was the use of caviar, which I personally felt was just to elevate the luxury feel only. The caviar with ice cream, felt out of place and I could not savour it given the coldness and richness of the ice cream. Service was very attentive and worthy of its Michelin accolade. I felt it was 2 star standard, nothing more. High standards nevertheless and worth a try.

I’ve been to Michelin star restaurants all over the world and it was my second time here. We were a table of 4 but our other friend couldn’t make it as he was admitted in the hospital with a bad flu so we amended the reservation to 3 a couple of days prior to the our dinner. I understand that they charge us for the 4th person which is completely fair but in exchange of that we couldn’t order alcohol for same amount. Their argument is that ingredients were sourced, but they can give us a voucher for future use. They mean to say if we come after 4/5 months they’ll use the same ingredients? This is a joke as they are moving to a new premise. One of the Austrian sympathised with us and she said it was wrong but couldn’t do anything. Spoke to some other people in the same industry and they said it’s overrated and the chef is arrogant as hell. I own two 5 star hotels, I do understand hospitality is tough and a thankless industry but we shouldn’t take our guests for granted. If there’s no guest how can one run the business. The young chefs were wonderful but the French lady who was serving us was so casual, we ask for a dessert wine post dinner and she gets us white wine. There were few such errors during the service. They took everyone’s Polaroid pictures post dinner but not ours since we pointed the errors. The food is good but if it’s this kind of attitude and service one shouldn’t go there. There are better places in San Sebastián and all around the world. Won’t go back to this place!
