XI · Frequently asked questions
UMA offers an omnivorous tasting menu mainly composed of vegetables, fish and seafood. Occasionally the menu may contain a meat dish. UMA will be able to adapt its gastronomic proposal to vegetarians as long as they accept eggs, mushrooms and dairy products in their regular diet. Unfortunately, we do NOT have the necessary resources to be able to offer a proposal adapted to exclusively vegan diets.
At UMA we offer three tasting menus:
UMA GRAND GOURMET, UMA CLASSIC and UMA ESSENCE.
A gastronomic experience that varies in length with each menu: 8 courses in Essence; snacks, 10-12 savoury dishes and 2 desserts in Classic; and in Grand Gourmet, as many as the chef decides for each proposal. This structure is not fixed, but adapts and modifies according to the season.
Remember that at Espacio UMA, the menu is always based on the Chef’s creations and seasonal products and is prepared almost daily.
(You can find on our website or on our social networks some slight preview of our style of cooking).
They are three tasting menus, with chef Iker Erauzkin’s cooking and seasonal produce. What changes is the length, the produce and the level of personalisation.
UMA ESSENCE (€86): 8 courses, in less time. Served in the dining room only: Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 1:30 pm, and Monday and Thursday at 8:30 pm.
UMA CLASSIC (€125 in the dining room, €140 at the Chef’s Table or Kitchen Counter): snacks, 10-12 savoury dishes and 2 desserts, over about two hours.
UMA GRAND GOURMET (€186 in the dining room, €200 at the Chef’s Table or Kitchen Counter): extends the Classic with exclusive, top-level produce. It is a bespoke experience designed by the chef, so the number of courses is not fixed and changes with his creative proposal; it lasts about two and a half hours.
Prices per person, VAT included, drinks not included. Wine pairing is optional.
ESSENCE is the option for a first visit to UMA or when you have less time: the house cooking in a shorter, more accessible version.
CLASSIC is the full experience, to be enjoyed without rushing. If you want to watch the chef cook up close, book the Chef’s Table or Kitchen Counter.
GRAND GOURMET is for a special occasion or for those who want to go all the way: exclusive produce and a menu the chef creates just for you.
