We are thrilled to share some exciting news. The MICHELIN Guide inspectors have identified the key movements that will define haute cuisine in 2026, and Paulo Airaudo Group is taking center stage.
In their latest report on international dining trends, Michelin highlights the consolidation of Bangkok as one of the world’s most vibrant culinary hubs. Within this context, they specifically point to the arrival of our restaurants, Sartoria and Belén, as pivotal examples of this evolution. The Guide underscores our commitment to establishing world-class, enduring concepts that push boundaries across the globe.
It is an honor to be recognized at the forefront of global gastronomy and to continue expanding Paulo Airaudo’s vision across the world’s most demanding culinary stages.

At the latest Michelin gala, Aleia was awarded its second star, cementing its place as one of the must-visit dining destinations in Barcelona.
As highlighted by El País in its roundup of the most relevant restaurants of the year:

Amelia hosted a tasting dedicated to Champagne as a wine for the table, for reflection and shared enjoyment. Gathered around the bar and the open kitchen, professionals from different culinary backgrounds came together to exchange perspectives, impressions and experiences around both renowned maisons and lesser-known producers.
The tasting was led by Mariana Tapia (Amelia by Paulo Airaudo) and featured the participation of Martín Flea (Restaurant Ibai), alongside Ander Echebarria (Via Fora), Arantxa Ayala (Laia Erretegia), Estela Velasco (Kokotxa) and Xabier Ruiz (Asador Nicolás de Tolosa).
The session highlighted Champagne’s versatility, its ability to accompany an entire menu, and its balance between tradition, identity and evolution. A calm, open exchange where dialogue and shared curiosity were as essential as the wines themselves.
The surprising dessert from Amelia by Paulo Airaudo has been selected by the MICHELIN Guide inspectors as one of the most outstanding of the year, alongside creations from El Celler de Can Roca, Martín Berasategui, Cenador de Amós, Molino de Urdániz, and Voro.
A bold combination of flavors —caviar, rum, roasted plantain, and mole poblano— that confirms Amelia as one of the most creative and sophisticated names in haute pastry in Spain.
A Journey Illuminated by 8 Stars
With the recent award of its second Michelin star, Aleia Restaurant secures its place among the finest culinary destinations. This new recognition reflects the excellence, precision, and passion of the entire team, led by the vision of Paulo Airaudo and the talent of Rafa de Bedoya.
Airaudo now holds 8 Michelin stars across five restaurants worldwide, reaffirming a unique culinary philosophy and a constant commitment to haute cuisine.
Our gratitude goes to the team, our guests, and the Michelin Guide for continuing to inspire us to evolve and perfect every detail.
