Amara | Best Mediterranean Restaurant & Bar in Belmont, CA

Mediterranean Grace. California Comfort.

From the Michelin-recognized team behind Rasa and Saffron comes Amara, a courtyard garden where meze and music move like the coastlines that inspired them.

Sun-Soaked Plates. Garden-Grown Rituals.

Meze meant to share, seafood grilled over charcoal, and whole branzino kissed with lemon chermoula. Bright cocktails and zero-proof spritzes built to match the pace of the garden. Finish with the praline-pistachio opera cake that made the Chronicle drive down for dessert.

For Nights That Stick

Dinner, Done Right

The night starts with citrus in the air and ends with laughter that outlasts the playlist. Servers move at your pace, not the clock. Green hummus, warm laffa, and branzino off the charcoal carry the glow from garden to table. Every bite feels like an exhale.

Big Tables & Milestones

When the whole crew gathers, the garden becomes the celebration. Candlelight catches the pool, mezze boards stretch across the table, and the half chicken lands right when the story hits its peak. Our team handles the rhythm so your people stay in the moment.

PRIVATE EVENTS IN THE GARDEN

The courtyard isn’t a backdrop. it’s the show. Twinkling lights, the sound of water, and a scent of lemon and cedar set the stage while our chefs build Mediterranean feasts for weddings, networking nights, and family milestones. Hosting here feels like borrowing our living room for your story.

Pita puffs golden in the oven. octopus sears to smoke. lemons blister. Cocktails swirl with saffron and rose. The courtyard hums with music and laughter under twinkling lights.
