    Chocolate cake
    Esther G.

    My favorite Seville meal so far. The Greek salad was delicate and simple without lettuce but plenty tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, and olive oil. The spicy potatoes with skin on and a creamy spicy aioli sauce melted in my mouth. Our entrees were curry chicken for my husband and skewer wrapped in bacon were delicious to say the least. We both loved our dishes Our shared dessert was chocolate cake and it was rich beyond expectations, fudge-like. Our tab was very much lower than average in Seville or most other cities.

    I was recommended this place by my hotel host and I can definitely say that their tapas are delicious and well priced compared to a lot of other places that I've tried the last week. They specialize in tapas but also offer more filling dishes at a smaller size.

    Delicious!!

    Came here for a quick lunch and def not disappointed. Eating outside is a lot nicer than I thought (thought it would be super noisy). We got the cafe con leche, Sevilla sandwich, chicken curry and the patatas bravas. All were great. The food was fast to be served. Would def recommend this place for a relatively cheap and quick meal.

    Really good food! (We ate tapas). Delicious! Especially the dessert tasted super!!! There was one middle-aged woman servicing us, but she was a bit unhappy, maybe tired of her work or smth. Who knows. Otherwise the place was really hippy! We enjoyed a lot, lot, lot !!

    Mini burger, potato and what's left of the couscous. Tabasco makes everything taste better

    Carmela is a great find located in the older area of Sevilla. We had an early dinner on the patio. Tortilla with potato and onion was served warm. It was moist and delicious. I added a little Tabasco hot sauce to make it perfect. We had Greek salad, chicken curry, meat and cheese plate, couscous salad, mini hamburger, and potato with dipping sauce. The curry dipping sauce was very good. All items were very tasty and filling. Wait staff was attentive and the price was surprisingly reasonable. Ten Tapas, two bottles of water and three glasses of wine totaled 47 Euro including tip.

    The food at Carmela was fantastic. We went there for lunch but realized tapas is not available until 1pm. Anytime before that is breakfast. We had a light breakfast Iberian ham sandwich and Nutella crepe. The menu comes with orange juice and coffee. All was fresh and delicious. We went back in a few hours for tapas based on all the reviews. I loved the black rice with squid. It was perfectly cooked, the beer was cheap and refreshing.

    Fantastic toast with Iberian ham and tomato for breakfast. It was very close to our Airbnb and had lovely outside seating which was great for people watching. The staff was very friendly, too. I had a few lattes as well, but there were no alternative milk options (e.g. soy). And there were no gluten-free bread options for my sister. Nice place to sit for hours and people watch

    Black rice and squid!

    Very very VERY slow service and when the dishes finally arrived they were pitifully small and unappealing.

Knowing we were going to eat a lot during a food tour, we settled on some small tapas (ham, cheese, bread, and olives) and got some sangria and a beer. We sat at the bar and I was able to practice my Spanish with the bartender. The ham was a generous portion and I loved watching them cut it behind the bar! Very fun and old establishment-y vibes. Wish we could've tried more on the menu if we didn't have other plans!

I came here due to a yelp recommendation because like most westerners unaccustomed to the Spanish way of living I was hungry at about 7 pm and needed something to eat. Yay yelp to the rescue. The place was crowded and there were no seats available when I arrived. There were many small groups congregated around tables and a few couples as well. It isn't obvious how to proceed once you come in the door so I probably stood there awkwardly for a few minutes near the door before making my way to the bar to what looked to be a vacant seat. A gentleman informed me that it belonged to his girlfriend so I was forced to now stand awkwardly next to the bar. Bar tender to the rescue explaining that if I waited he was pretty sure someone would leave soon and I could order a drink while I waited. I ordered a sangria and also inquired about food but was told that I need to have an actual seat in order to order food. After nursing my drink for about 20 mins when I was about to pay and head out to find somewhere else to eat, a spot finally opened up and I was treated to the most delicious steak and potatoes and zucchini tapas. This had to be one of the most delicious things I have eaten on this vacation. When I finally vacated my seat to save a pair of new arrivals, there was a line outside of people waiting for the opportunity to eat here. I might chance it again before I leave Seville. I highly recommend for the food and friendly waiters but wish there was a way to turn seats over more quickly. One guy kept insisting he was saving his girlfriend's seat but in the 90 mins I spent there she never showed up. Who knows if she ever existed. Bread comes free with your tapas order and really complimented the meal.

We ordered their roasted lamb with cous cous, garlic shrimp croquetta (that was the croquetta of the day), pork cheek stew with potato purée and the chocolate panna cotta for dessert. We also ordered their sangria and tinto de verano. Every dish we ordered was AMAZING - tasty flavorful well seasoned melt in your mouth meat bursting with flavors. We devoured every bite and it was hard to pick a favorite. Both the lamb and pork dishes were 11/10. Not just the taste but the presentation of every tapa was fantastic. Their drinks were also great. The dessert was to die for. This place is super packed during peak dinner hours and there is barely any room to stand. Since we walked in around 11pm, we got a seat and were well taken care of all thru the night. Also noticed alot of veggie options on the menu which was great. Service was awesome ambience is chic. I am certain I am going to crave their tapas once I am back home. Highly highly recommend this place when in Seville.

The food across the board was very good, but the Carrillada Ibérica con Parmentier de Patata really stood out (Iberian pork cheek). It was tender and full of flavor, and the potato parmentier balanced it perfectly. It was easily the most memorable dish we ordered. Service was friendly and relaxed, and we felt comfortable dining there as a family. Overall, a solid spot in Seville that we were happy to return to.

The layout can be a bit confusing, as the restaurant seems to have three dining rooms with separate entrances but only one kitchen. Where we sat was charming, with stone walls and wood-beamed ceilings. We started with the foie appetizer, which was a delightful surprise for my palate. It was a unique combination of foie, cream cheese, and what I believe was pear. It was unusual, but I ended up really enjoying it. The zucchini noodles with pesto and burrata were also very enjoyable. However, the star of our dinner was the 40 day dry aged ribeye, cooked perfectly medium-rare, tender, and absolutely delicious. If we had discovered it sooner, I would have happily eaten here a second time.

The star was obviously the 100-day aged steak. It was done to perfection. Absolutely delicious with a little bit of funk. And my grandpa was a cattle rancher so I've had quite a bit of steak in my life. 9.5/10 The pumpkin dish was also exceptional. 9/10 The risotto was the perfect compliment. Wow. Great texture and flavor. 9/10 The croquettes were good, I didn't like the mayo on top. 8/10 The dessert that was essentially a bread pudding was absolutely delicious.i barely tried the orange dessert but it tasted like a Pillsbury orange cinnamon roll. Dessert and service were 10/10
