Chef's Recommendation
Modern Mediterranean · Est. 2014
Where light,
fire and the sea meet.
A candlelit Mediterranean experience in the heart of the old quarter — sourced from sun, sea and soil.
A Mediterranean Atelier
Cooking that begins
in the soil.
AURA is the work of chef Mateo Aurelio — a quiet meditation on the produce, fishermen and farmers of the western Mediterranean. Each plate is an act of restraint, of listening to ingredients before speaking through them.

It is a memory you keep."
