An Argentinian-born chef with a passion for contemporary cuisine
Chef Paulo Airaudo was born to an Italian immigrant family in Argentina. Since being an 18-year-old, he has worked in many countries around the world, including Mexico, Peru, and other European countries. The chef was trained in European restaurants like Arzak (3 Michelin stars) in San Sebastian, The Fat Duck (3 Michelin stars) in London, and Magnolia (1 Michelin stars) in Italy. Paulo Airaudo opened his first restaurant, Amelia, in San Sebastián (Donostia) in April 2017, the city where he once embarked on his European adventure.
While my cooking style is contemporary and modern, I always draw inspiration from the best classics.
