Amara

Amara is a small tasting-menu restaurant in Seville, named for the chef's home neighborhood outside San Sebastián, which he has furnished like a very proud family project. His mother's paintings of the Basque coast hang on the walls, and his father drove the wood for the cabinetry down from the north himself. The kitchen has almost no fridge space, so the chef shops the neighborhood market every other day, and the menu sits somewhere between Basque tradition and Andalusian pantry.
