A quiet luxury restaurant in the heart of the old quarter — where seasonal produce, fire, and patience become an evening you remember.
Our Story
Luna Dining began as a small counter with eight seats and a single wood fire. A decade on, we remain devoted to the same idea — that the finest meals are unhurried, honest, and built around what the land gives us this week.
Our kitchen works hand-in-hand with local farmers, foragers, and fishers. Menus shift with the light of each season, so no two visits are ever quite alike.

Chef Patron
Trained between Modena and San Sebastián, Elena returned home with a single conviction — that restraint is the highest form of generosity. Her cooking is quiet and precise, letting each ingredient speak before she does.
“I want you to forget the time. To look up and realise the evening has gone, and you wouldn't trade a minute of it.”
Elena
Reservations
We take a limited number of covers each night to keep every table unhurried. Book ahead — weekends fill quickly.
Guest Words
“The most quietly perfect meal we've had in years. Every plate felt considered, never showy. We'll be back for our anniversary.”
“That octopus. The candlelight. The way the staff seemed to anticipate everything. Luna is a love letter to dining slowly.”
“We forgot our phones existed. Three hours vanished. The risotto alone is worth the trip across the city.”
