Gault&Millau's review 2026

Recently opened, this refined address brings a fresh and polished addition to the local dining scene. Under the vision of Chef Richard Seidel, the cuisine is crafted with care and intention, offering well-executed dishes that balance comfort and precision. From neatly prepared salads to accurate grilling and thoughtfully seasoned mains, his approach reflects clarity, discipline and a modern sensibility. The décor is warm and beautifully composed, blending natural textures and elegant tones to create a welcoming atmosphere that mirrors the kitchen’s refined style. It is a space designed to feel both contemporary and inviting, allowing the food to take center stage. The staff contributes greatly to the experience: attentive, discreet and efficient, they maintain a smooth rhythm throughout the meal and demonstrate a clear understanding of Seidel’s vision for hospitality. Service is polished without being intrusive, adding to the restaurant’s sense of harmony. Desserts deliver the final highlight, elegant, indulgent and masterfully balanced, they stand out for their texture and flavour definition. These concluding notes elevate the dining experience and reveal a level of technical finesse that signals strong potential. A new restaurant that already shows maturity and promise, Auria offers very good food in a charming setting, shaped thoughtfully by Chef Richard Seidel and a team that genuinely cares for its guests.
