El galardonado BIGA ON THE BANKS de Bruce Auden está en un espectacular lugar del moderno Centro Internacional del centro de San Antonio. Lo histórico y lo nuevo se unen en este establecimiento con vistas un lugar romántico junto al río. El Biga elabora una cocina superactual que mejora la oferta culinaria del paseo del río de San Antonio. La revista Gourmet Magazine ha nombrado al Biga uno de los 5 mejores restaurantes de Texas. La buena mesa nunca ha sido sinónimo de "remilgado" para el chef Auden. El ambiente del Biga es informal y relajado, al estilo San Antonio. El célebre bagaje culinario de Auden, junto con el diseño creativo, han convertido al Biga on the Banks en uno de los restaurantes más sobresalientes de Texas.

Por qué son un Emblema

Chef ejecutivo Bruce Auden

Del equipo editorial de OpenTable: When he opened Biga in 1991, London-born chef Bruce Auden kicked off a new era of fine dining in San Antonio, amassing a huge celebrity following (Julia Child, Emeril Lagasse) and racking up several James Beard nominations. In 2000, the restaurant moved to a bigger space with sweeping Riverwalk views, the perfect setting for Auden’s ever-changing global menu with Texas accents—think spiced antelope and quail, habañero jerk scallops, and za’atar roasted cauliflower.

25th Anniversary Reception Ticket
175,00 US$ por persona
Pago anticipado
22 abr 2025 solamente
Like the living bread starter that gives the restaurant its name, Biga on the Banks has risen to become one of San Antonio's most cherished culinary institutions. On Earth Day, April 22, 2025, the iconic landmark restaurant will celebrate its 25th anniversary on the River Walk with an extraordinary culinary event benefiting the next generation of San Antonio's culinary talent. Under the guidance of Chef Bruce Auden, widely regarded as the godfather of San Antonio's dynamic culinary scene, Biga on the Banks has cultivated more than just exceptional cuisine - it has nurtured a legacy of culinary excellence and community partnership that spans a quarter century. The celebration, chaired by longtime supporters Lyn and Pete Selig, will transform the restaurant into a showcase of culinary artistry, featuring eight chef stations helmed by distinguished Biga alumni alongside promising students from St. Philip's College Culinary and Hospitality School. The reception-style event will run from 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., with plans to expand to the third floor for an evening of desserts and dancing. "Biga's story is one of resilience and community," says Chef Auden, who, along with partners Perny Shea, Pete Selig, and Don Thomas, has steered the restaurant through numerous challenges from 9/11 ot the 2008 recession and the recent COVID-19 pandemic. "When we moved from our original location in Tobin Hill to the River Walk, it was because of an extraordinary coalition of local investors - Team Biga - who believed in our vision for San Antonio's culinary future." Even before they reached the banks of the San Antonio River, the restaurant's name, Biga, was derived from the centuries-old traditional pre-fermented starter used in artisanal bread-making. It reflects its philosophy of patience, cultivation, and tradition. And that approach has fostered remarkable loyalty among staff, many of whom have been with the restaurant for over two decades and are now eligible to participate in a pioneering profit-sharing program. Decades before San Antonio became a UNESCO World Heritage City of Gastronomy, long before the Pearl, Southtown and downtown became culinary destinations, Chef Bruce Auden almost single-handedly elevated the fine dining experience in San Antonio in the 1980s," said longtime journalist and Biga lover Bob Rivard. "Over the years, Bruce trained a whole new generation of talented chefs, who found their first opportunities in the Biga kitchen. More than a few are now household names and in charge of their own successful ventures. The Bruce Auden DNA is found in many of the city's best kitchens today. All proceeds from the anniversary celebration will benefit St. Philip's College Culinary and Hospitality School and the San Antonio Food Bank, reflecting Biga's ongoing commitment to nurturing culinary talent and fighting food insecurity ni the community. The event will feature a commemorative medal for all attendees!

El restaurante no fue lo que esperaba, en la página y las fotos de la misma, pareciera un restaurante más fancy y no lo es, bastante informal. La comida no está mal pero esperaba más y de postres no tienen más que 2

El servicio comenzó bien, después la señorita nos abandonó, la comida bastante regular, los escargots terribles, en general una mala experiencia. Siempre dejo propina, creo que es la primera vez que sentí que no lo merecía y me fui sin dejar nada.

El mesero, que se llama Chris, excelente en su trabajo. La comida tuvo sus altibajos... el foie gras exquisito... el pollo seco y algo desabrido... el pato espectacular!! No hubo máquina de café funcionando, no hubo espresso ni capuchino... solo café regular... no estuvo tan mal
