    So quaint
    Kendoll C.

    Wandering the streets of Seville, we were looking for an ideal menu of the day, with unique tapas. Advertising 5 tapas for 12, the restaurant was cozy and inviting. The house red was delectable, and we began attempting to order. The waiter was very attentive, and spoke English very well, but this was only to tell us basically everything we attempted to order was out :( I would have just left and tried elsewhere, but we were already a glass and two tapas in. The tapas we ended up selecting was a miss for me. The beef cheeks were moist, juicy, but not the best sauce. There was nothing special about their chickpeas. The sardine while delicious was a little guy, definitely a runt compared to other sardines we've had in Spain. Then we ended up with more pork-meh. Presentation was cute as the tapas were brought and served on a wooden tray. but that was it, cute compensation for flavor and quality.

    5 tapas for 12 euros is their advertisement. We stopped here after wandering the streets of Seville. These tapas were a miss for me. We got the shrimp salad, tuna steak in olive oil, gazpacho, beef cheeks, and squid. I would skip all besides the gazpacho but I don't think I had a bad bowl of gazpacho in Spain. Presentation was cute as the tapas were brought and served on a wooden tray. The restaurant is very cozy and inviting but the food was a miss.

    Such a lovely spot. The house wine is pretty cheap, there are a solid amount of vegetarian options, and the owners are so kind. There is a very relaxed vibe as soon as you walk in. We got the spinach, peppers, andalucian pisto, goat cheese, bread. They even have a vegetarian paella. Would 100% come back!

    We enjoyed our experience at El Libero. We enjoyed the quirky decorations especially the cat pillows. Food and drinks arrived quickly and were very reasonable. We would recommend the 5 tapas for 12 Euro. Our favorite tapa was the garlic potatoes. Drinks were a generous size and tasted great!

    In an attempt to get off the main tourist street near the Cathedral, we headed over to El Librero in the winding pedestrian just a block off. What a treat! It has an eclectic atmosphere in décor and seating with benches & pillows in some cozy corners. The service was prompt and friendly and fortunately they had some air conditioning. The food was excellent --- we loved the Chicken in Almond Cream Sauce, Potatoes & Herbs, and of course the Paella!

    Great service. 5 tapas for 12€. Good spaghetti according to my son. Paella seafood was also delicious.

    The best food I had in all of Seville.. stopped by this place for late dinner during my recent trip…read moreto Seville and this place did not disappoint. 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.

If you want an authentic Italian pizza, try that one. Also, make sure you have a drink at the EME hotel afterwards (same building). They have a rooftop bar with one of the best skylines of Sevilla.

The menu outside and the inner ambiance (and the fact that the place was mostly empty, so we could easily get a table) called to us, so we decided to check this place out. Let it be known that a mostly empty restaurant does not mean the food will be so-so! My husband and I agreed that this place has the BEST pizza we've had anywhere! It's light, flavorful, thin and crispy, and just down-right delicious! Ostia Antica has a menu that has English descriptions, making it foreigner-friendly if you don't speak or read Spanish, and a ton of vegetarian and allergy friendly options (they have allergies listed out next to each dish on the menu). I ordered the pizza vegetal (vegetable pizza), which was vegetarian and awesome (with or without the chili oil- which I would recommend if you want to add heat/spice to your food) and my husband (not vegetarian) got the pizza iberica (recommended to him by our waitress). He said his pizza was super flavorful and amazing. The ambiance is quiet (probably because there were only a few other couples there) and cool. They also played a good music selection that added to the "chill" vibe. Finally, the waitstaff was amazing. They were really attentive, switched to English when they noticed us struggling with our Spanish, and were so nice (and funny!). We'll definitely be going back and would highly recommend this place!

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.
