Seafood and local cooking, facing the sailboats of Port Balís.
The heart of our kitchen
// 01 — The house
Rice dishes are our great speciality, cooked to order so every grain keeps its texture and flavour. The rest of the menu is a careful selection of fish, shellfish, meat and seasonal dishes, always rooted in Mediterranean cooking.
At Aura Balís we want every visit to be more than a meal: a moment to share, to enjoy, and to discover the taste of the Mediterranean in an incomparable setting, right on the water and wrapped in the calm of Port Balís.
// 02 — Mediterranean cooking
Mediterranean cooking, right on the water.
Aura Balís sits at the heart of Port Balís, in Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, where the sea breeze and a love of Mediterranean cooking come together into something worth the trip. Our kitchen is built on respect for the produce and the quality of every ingredient: market-fresh fish, hand-picked shellfish, locally reared meat and seasonal vegetables.
// 03 — Signature dishes
The produce sets the standard. We cook what the season gives us.
Which is why our menu keeps changing, following the market and the best produce of the day.
