Amura by Ángel León

Michelin-starred Chef Ángel León is renowned for his pioneering marine cuisine, transforming overlooked ocean ingredients like algae, phytoplankton, and bycatch into culinary art. Founder of Aponiente (3 Michelin stars) and Alevante (2 stars), León is a passionate sailor and researcher whose work blends science, sustainability, and gastronomy. His cooking celebrates the sea’s biodiversity and promotes responsible sourcing, earning him the Michelin Green Star.

Deep inside the storied halls of Mount Nelson, this culinary destination will bring Chef Ángel León’s visionary marine cuisine to Africa for the very first time. Designed by award-winning South African interior architect Tristan du Plessis, Amura will be a visual homage to the kelp forests beneath the waters of Cape Town: moody, mysterious, and cinematic.

Taking guests on a sensory journey with interiors that draw from the majesty and mystery of Cape Town’s coastline, diners will be enveloped in a space that mimics the ocean floor—fluid, tranquil, and awe-inspiring. At the heart of the restaurant lies an open-plan kitchen, a theatrical stage where chefs craft each dish with precision, transparency, and a deep reverence for the sea. Wrapping around the open space, the restaurant will feel both glamorous and transportive, with deep greens, warm timber and bronze accents creating a rich, evocative atmosphere. Amura is set to be an expression of Chef Ángel León’s signature seafood-forward cuisine, combining cutting-edge technique with local ingredients, passion and a deep respect for the sea.
