Amelia

San Sebastian, Spain

Recently moved from its seat in front of Concha Bay, one of the most iconic beaches in this part of Europe, Amelia restaurant has taken up an equally prestigious location within the environs of the opulent Hotel Maria Christina. Chef Paulo Airaudo and his team turn out a tasting menu prepared with seasonal, fresh, top-quality ingredients, bought daily from small producers. It offers a creative cuisine with hints to the classical, which stand out with fine-quality fish and seafood, combining the essence of Basque gastronomy with subtle international touches. Highlights include the likes of grilled lobster with beurre blanc or 'caviar-bana-rhum' – both so much more memorable than their stark descriptions might have you believe. When San Sebastian's annual International Film Festival swoops into town each September, this is one of the city's hottest places to be.
