UPDATE:<\/strong> Sadly Amara closed his doors early in 2026 after a short but intense few years in calle Zaragoza, having opened just before the Covid pandemic hit, and later dealing with a year of the entire street being shut down.\u00a0 I will keep this here as a tribute to Javi so you can see the amazingness he created here, and I wish him all the best in his future endeavours.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Run by Basque chef Javier Fabo, Amara is a delicious fusion of northern and southern Spanish cuisine, housed in the charming former Sahumo space in calle Zaragoza. There is a tasting menu along with their regular seasonal menu. Because of the ever changing menus the photos below are more of a guide to the many delicious dishes you will find when you visit.<\/p>\n

First of all… have the croquetas. Any of them or all of them (usually one is served as an aperitif). These are always a benchmark dish for me and here they are a house specialty and some of the best I’ve had anywhere. Other dishes we’ve enjoyed include figs with payoyo cheese and topped with cured duck breast, the fish pil pils, grilled duck breast, super tender beef ribs. But to be honest, there’s nothing we haven’t loved here. Plus truly excellent service, professional without being at all stuffy. Great wines. You’ll love it.<\/p>\n
