Küchenchef*in: Bruce Auden

Von der OpenTable-Redaktion: 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.

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!

Exceptional service. I had the antelope and quail entree which was lovely. I only gave four stars on food quality because two in our party ordered lamb medium rare which was closer to medium, but that’s a small quibble. Presentation of all dishes was elegant. The atmosphere was friendly, and a nice compromise between an intimate restaurant and a happening bistro. Great experience, and a great value for a fine dining experience.

Have been to Biga multiple times in the past but it’s been about 3yrs since the last visit. Sadly it has definitely declined in that time. My rabbit enchilada appetizer was cold, but the flavor was good. My mains (I did two halfs the salmon and the lamb) were lacking flavor and the lamb was over done as I’d requested medium rare but definitely got more medium to medium well. The desert which I’d had in the past (sticky toffee pudding) was fairly dry and again rather bland. Finally, the restaurant was much louder than previously as well. I was seated in the rear area and I guess they must share a bathroom with the music bar next store as you could easily hear it in the dining room and even worse when the door back behind the curtain would be opened. For a bill over $100 there are definitely better options now. I like will not be returning to Biga in the future.

Our waiter was absolutely perfect in every way imaginable. He made our night unforgettable. From the glasses of champagne on the house to the dessert with the valentines message on the plate. The food was amazing as well, never disappoints. Top tier overall. Thoroughly impressed. Give this man a shift drink immediately!
