Smart move by Catalina - open the kitchen at 11.00 when Modesto and Vineria S T don't open until 12.00ish. And lucky us - easily into our top 3 tapas restaurants in Seville. We were headed to Modesto based on recommendation but with a bus to catch we couldn't wait, but were very glad we ended up here by accident. The usual favourites but lots of slightly different and very tasty tapas. All fresh, friendly quick service and decent prices. http://www.barcatalina.es/ read more

Nice sidewalk eating experience. We chose tapas with a glass of wine. We sat down and our server greeted us within two minutes. Ambience was sidewalk dining under umbrellas on a beautiful Spring day! We'll be back! read more

I really enjoyed this experience. From the big picture windows to the old-time American jazz playing, it was a great experience. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and the Pina Colodas with no alcohol, were absolutely delicious. We ordered the cheese plate with toast. I appreciated the different cheese choices, but wished that it had come with more toast. I asked if we could get more toast and the waitress gladly obliged. read more

Service was excellent! We went with four kids, and one had a seafood allergy . they were so accommodating and cautious. The grilled calamari and fish from the specials menu were excellent, and the fries were to die for. The seafood was so fresh. We loved our server, Salva! I highly recommend this place!!! read more

Located next to several other notable restaurants (Viñeria San Telmo and Modesto) on the edge of the Santa Cruz neighborhood, Catalina might be easy to overlook, but don't let the stiff competition scare you away. Yelp (and TripAdvisor) reviews were on point when it came to Catalina, as the restaurant ranked as one of my favorites in Seville! Since I have food allergies, it can sometimes be difficult to travel abroad, but I didn't have any issues picking out appropriate food at Catalina. Although the restaurant has an allergy menu, I elected to ask our waitress about specific items on the menu. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and was accommodating and helpful when certain things didn't fit our needs. While I mostly spoke Spanish to the staff, everyone spoke decent English; there were definitely no communication barriers here. The menu itself featured an extensive array of tapas that were reasonably priced, especially considering the quality of the food. Here's what we ordered: - Solomillo iberico (€12.90) - Simply delicious Small pieces of grilled pork atop slices of potato. Two types of sauces - one sweet and one savory/spicy. Put together, they were amazing. - Bacalao Catalino (€4.5) - This was the highlight of the meal for me! Lightly fried piece of cod (super tender) with a wonderful, layered tomato sauce. It was so good I ended up ordering another plate. - Chipirones (€4) - The restaurant had run out of squid so they offered us the cuttlefish as a substitute. The dish featured super tender cuttlefish and delicious garlicky/ basil sauce. - Jamon iberico - small portion (25g) but still good quality. Served with breadsticks instead of bread and tomato sauce. - Sangria - The best part about Catalina's sangria was the giant cinnamon stick! It added tons of flavor and really elevated the drink from more generic versions of sangria. If you ever find yourself in Seville, do yourself a favor and check out Catalina! read more

We chose this place based on other Yelp reviews. As usual, yelpers won't lead you wrong. We really like this place even though there weren't a lot of people there. The food was really tasty, however the sangria was just okay. We decided to do a tapas crawl and go somewhere else, but I was totally disappointed at the next stop and we wished we had stayed at Catalina. read more

If you get here before 2PM, opt for the 3-course meal for only 8 euros (which includes a glass of wine, beer, or non-alcoholic drink)! We opted for the gazpacho, paella, and fruit dessert. The servings were hearty - so much so that I actually wasn't able to finish the dessert. The highlight for me was the gazpacho, which was speckled with bits of egg and Spanish-style dried ham. We also ordered the cheese, eggplant, and paprika tapa. Maybe we were too full to appreciate it, but it honestly wasn't that tasty. It kind of looked like a giant turd, and the goat cheese was much too strong. That said, Catalina's has a really nice outdoor seating area. It's a good spot to sit at, since this is a pretty touristy area, and therefore a good people-watching spot. read more

Catalina was recommended by our tour guide in Seville, and he did not lead us astray. We sat on the patio and enjoyed great service. The menu is very unique and we had some stellar dishes here. Eric R. started with a Greek salad, which had olives, eggs, and tomatoes and was quite different from what we think of as a Greek salad in the US but still tasty. I started with the rice cooked in squid ink with grilled squid, topped with garlic aioli. It was phenomenal! Eric R. then ordered chicken curry with rice and a puff pastry with shrimp, squash and curry. I ordered the eggplant cake with goat cheese and potato. Everything was so delicious! We finished the meal with the dulce de leche and meringue mille-feuille for dessert with green tea. The server was friendly and efficient and helped explain the menu when we asked questions. I definitely recommend eating here in Seville! read more

Best tapa I've had in all of Spain- the tapa Murillo Morcilla, queso y cebolla caramelizada torts de Inés Rosales. Rocked my world so much that I went back a second night to have it again. Both times there was a woman bartender (different each time) who was a lovely change of pace from the typical rude male bartenders in the rest of Sevilla. Thanks for the best tapa en Español! read more

We found the restaurant recommendation on Rick Steves travel guide. Rick commented that this is his favorite tapas bar so we decided to check it out. It was amazing. We started with queso frito, croquetas de gambas al ajillo (tradicional shrimp) and langostinos (prawns). Our second round consisted of more queso frito, pastel de berenjena (eggplant) and tartar de salmon. For dessert we had tartar de limón con helado. Best sangría! We also tried orange wine (popular drink in the region). Prices were reasonable. Service was great. The waitress was very efficient managing all outdoor tables. Food and drinks came fast. We strongly recommend this place. They offer traditional tapas but definitely try their creative cuisine. read more

We were looking for tapas after an awesome flamenco show. Found this spot on Yelp, and it was awesome. Lots of variety, and they are open late! Prices are typical. We had a mix of meat and cheese dishes and left totally satisfied. read more

Some of the best tapas I've had! We got the tapas (big portions though!) of the mixed vegetables with goat cheese and tomato sauce (eggplant and zucchini), chicken with curry and rice, patatas with two sauces, black rice with cuttlefish and aoili, and finished with a cold dulce de Leche dessert. Everything was delicious, the sauces especially and the portions were a great value!. Planning our return for lunch already! read more

The fare is a bit more creative than your average tapas bar. Sometimes, while crawling for tapas, you need a break from the usual. When you've had more manchego than mankind can handle, and the jamon is oozing from your pores, try this place. Fried camembert with tomato jam (move over, ketchup), eggplant dishes, and crepes (we had the shrimp and mushroom) were excellent. Even their basic chicken kebabs were nicely marinated. The raciones are rather large, I think those in our party felt they over-ordered...I stuck to the tapas and was pleased. Plenty of outdoor seating. Life doesn't get much better than a glass of wine, a plate of tapas, and a nice day in Sevilla. read more

This was another place we stopped at while in Sevilla, and boy am I glad we did. The people were very friendly and the food was great. The main dish that stuck out the most was a pork loin dish with mojo and caramelized onions. These were so good we ordered 2 orders these. It's amazing how much more you can get for your money in Sevilla than Madrid or Barcelona. The quality of food is remarkable here and the price is even better. read more

Service was excellent. We got freshly squeezed orange juice, curry chicken and rice, mushroom rice, eggplant y paprika and mushroom y shrimp crepe. Crepe and chicken rice were great. The eggplant was dry. Overall, we were very hungry and happy with both food and quick and friendly service. read more

It was really lovely to be able to sit outside in the sub and just enjoy the ambience. The whole experience was made ever more rewarding by the amazingly simple, fresh and deliciously wonderful food from Catalina. We were a party of 3 and we had salads, 3 tapas each and drinks and still didn't break the bank. We each had something different and everything was really lovely. The fish with the salsa was really to die for and I especially enjoyed the Spanish omelette with fried onions and potatoes. The service was also pretty fast once you placed your order. I'm only deducting one star because of the less than stellar service. The restaurant wasn't very busy and there were two servers but they weren't the most attentive. Every time that we wanted something, we had to call out to them. read more

Service is slow. Food is decent and interior is average. I'll not be back. Not very impressed read more

Excellent food, excellent service, good price. My group of 4 came in for an early dinner of tapas around 17:30 and it was not crowded at all. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and given menus. We ordered 14 different tapas with everything from seafood to ham to beef to desserts. Not a single one was disappointing. We even broke one of the glass bowls that our delightful, rich chocolate cake and mango icecream dishes came in. They happily replaced the dish free of charge. A full meal with high quality tapas and drinks for four came out to only about 80 euros. Would highly recommend to anyone. read more

Very good tapas and service on a nice small plaza with other fine tapas restaurants. The cuttlefish and arroz negro was the best dish we had. Service was attentive and seating outside pleasant. read more

Very good food and very reasonably priced. Nice ambience and good service. I found it through fellow Yelpers and because of the good reviews We visited; twice!!! First time was better than the second but still really good. We were happier with tapas than with plates. Price was very good considering many places in Spain are super expensive. In summary; good food, good prices and good service. read more

Food was good. Actually quite good. Good value too. But the location ain't so cute. Ideally it would have a better view of the castle. 3.75 stars read more

Visited four cities across Spain for the last two weeks. This was, by far, the best tapas bar we visited. Great service and amazing food! Some the most innovative and creative plates and flavors I've visited in Spain, Europe or back home in California. It was so good we went for lunch AND dinner on the same day! This place has made our visit to Spain on of the most memorable. read more

With great prices and wonderful food, we have been 2x in 24 hours. The cuddle fish with black rice, shrimp & mushroom crepe, both eggplant dishes (though the one with goat cheese & tomato jam was my fav), spinach salad, omelette, grilled squid-- all great. The curry chicken was ok, too. Not very spicy. The staff here have, both times, been wonderful and nice, too! Thanks!! read more

I went based on Yelp and was severely disappointed. The food wasn't offensive and service was fine but certainly nothing special and was a touch expensive. The food was all a bit greasy or uninteresting. Given the number of good tapas restaurants in Seville I would not recommend. read more

Cutest staff. Wonderful food. Reasonably priced. We walked almost a mile which in Sevilla is a trek to this place and were pleasantly welcomed. The food was fast and delicious. We had the eggplant cake, grilled squid, chicken w honey mustard and the chicken curry. So yummy! read more
