Amara

Amara is an ode to the breath-taking scenery and intertwining stories found within the Mediterranean’s rugged landscapes and balmy shores. Awash in color, steeped in history, bursting with flavor, this is a region that holds community sacred, sees simplicity as the source of beauty, and considers themselves disciples to the art of slow living.

Journey through time and place via a menu that shifts between cultures and countries, illuminating the commonalities and shared narratives between these raw and romantic locations. At Amara, sun-washed morsels made with the freshest, seasonal produce transport to deep blue hues and warm climates.
