Ametsa has rightly earned its Michelin star, tutoring London in the ways of the New Basque cuisine revolution spearheaded by Ametsa’s collaboration with Juan Mari Arzak. His flagship restaurant, Arzak in San Sebastian, holds three Michelin stars, while his colleague and daughter Elena Arzak won Restaurant magazine’s Veuve Clicquot World’s Best Female Chef award in 2012. With these stellar credentials we can affirm that Ametsa, located in COMO The Halkin hotel in London’s Belgravia, is a one-of-a-kind Spanish restaurant. We can also confirm a strong genetic predisposition towards world-class Basque cookery amongst the Arzak clan.
The decor at Ametsa is stunning. By London’s Ab Rogers Design, features like a spice-filled, wave-shaped ceiling and an idiosyncratic angled oak floor ready you for the ecstatic culinary experience ahead. It’s wise to opt for Ametsa’s tasting menu if you’re uninitiated into the pleasures of Basque cooking. This way you can explore an incredibly curated selection of dishes that are in equal parts beautiful and delicious. The first forkful feels blasphemous, like you’ve desecrated a sculpture, but from then on it’s a heady journey through the earthy, seasonal flavours of Spanish Basque cuisine given a bold, contemporary spin. The Halkin by COMO The Halkin hotel, along Halkin Street in London’s gorgeous district of Belgravia, has certainly scored a major coup by bringing the delights of San Sebastian to London.
