One of the best restaurants we visited! The people were all wonderfully friendly. When we arrived without a reservation, the kind host actually sent us to a neighborhood bar so we could have a drink until a table was available; he told us to come back in 15-20 minutes, and that worked out perfectly. The specials were amazing. We loved the oyster special, the "Forest of Mushrooms" (delicately sautéed in spices, olive oil, and a fried egg," and the grilled octopus, which came with two sauces. Wine recommendations were spot on. And the restaurant itself was beautiful and comfortable. read more

Food, service and ambiance are amazing. We even come dinner twice. Recommended by person at the hotel we stayed in Seville. Everything about this place is outstanding. Location is walk distance three minutes away from our hotel. Staff very friendly and professional. We enjoyed very much. Pictures are food we ordered two days in row except the steak was on first night. Suggest to come on weekend to get chef special menu. I'm surprise no line or appointment needed during our visited. Highly recommended when you visit Seville read more

Our best meal in Sevilla. Excellent lamb and Turbot. Service and ambiance were excellent

Came in for a quick lunch after arriving from adgarve. We wanted something tasty abd different and thus place does not disappoint. Service was excellent, attentive and the food presentation was very upscale. Highly recommend the folowing items: Pulpo Asado is very render, soft melt in tour mouth. The crunchy black rice at the bottom gives it a unexpected texture. Ensalada de Atun tartare, creamy potatoes with just enough mayonnaise dressing to set your palate for a silky, savory bite when mixed with the potatoes. Ganbon al ajillo con Gazpachon, so plump garlic shrimp served over a brioche toast and they pour a dressing of mayo, eggs, garlic and olive oil- this is a MUST HAVE!. I can drink rhe custartd all day long, truly amazing. Aguachile de langostinos (ceviche) con gel de manzana. Buttery langostines cured with fresh lime juiceand a hint of spice. read more

El Traga - Ceviche de lagostinos,, buttey, sweet cured langostines in lime and chilies - Tapas Bars Near Me - Seville, SE

Not sure what happened but I felt that El Travis's was overrated and was probably my least favorite meal during my time in Spain. Our host didn't do that great of a job in explaining the menu which made it a bit difficult in gaging how much to order. In the end we felt that we all over ordered. It also didn't help that the service was lacking. The food was just ok as well. Prices are at higher end. The fish was pretty good but I was already so full towards the end. I also didn't like that our server chose the liberty to put in a 2nd bottle of wine when he decided himself that 1 bottle wasn't enough for us. What if everyone was not going to drink that night? Hard pass. read more

We were fortunate enough to dine at El Traga while in Sevilla last week. Javier at the door said he could seat us if we promised to eat in an hour. They were fully booked with several large parties. When we arrived at 8:00pm, Javier greeted us by name, and gave us a great table . We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and didn't feel rushed at all. The grilled pulpo was amazing. read more

Excellent food and service. Staff speaks good English and are very attentive. Would recommend that you make a reservation. Everything we ordered was very tasty but the 35-day aged premium steak was my favorite. One of our best meals in Sevilla. read more

We thought this was the best restaurant ever. The food is very creative and beyond delicious. The ambience is lovely and the service is excellent. We just happened upon this restaurant and we were so delighted. I think they will be a famous restaurant very soon. read more

This restaurant was recommended to us by our transportation guide in Seville. Every course: Burrata with Basil Sorbet salad, Tuna on Toast with Truffles, artichokes on carrot purée, seasonal mushrooms, aged steak, whole SeaBass, and deconstructed cheesecake- was creative, cooked to perfection, and incredibly delicious! My favorite restaurant in Spain (and possibly America)! read more

We had such a perfect time at El Traga. We called at 20:00 and asked about a table for 6, including 2 young children, at 20:30. The very nice man - not sure if he is the owner, manager, maitre d - was friendly and welcoming, and remembered when we walked in that we had just called. The food was creative and very good, and the service was excellent. If we had a longer time in Seville we would definitely go back! read more

Awesome restaurant. The food is amazing and the service is great. You'll feel like you are a long time regular customer the first time you go, They serve great Spanish delicacies. We went back a second time for more and I'd go back on my first night when returning to Seville. read more

It is so easy to get lost in the beautiful city of Sevilla and find so many hiddent dining gems. We were actually on our way to another 5Star yelp location, but found it way too packed. As we were wandering the streets, we found this wonderful Tapas bar. Because everything is fresh, the menu changes quite frequently(per our waiter), but we had a great sampling of steak, octopus, jamon, sardines, shrimp, and the amazing desserts. Not the cheapest, but from a quality standpoint, an excellent value. read more

Amazing restaurant in Seville! We went for dinner and lunch. This place requires reservation a few days ahead because it is very popular. The prices are really great - we ordered 7-8 tapas dishes and it was only 60 euros. We got the Jamon sampler, tuna belly, smoked cured salmon, foiegras and apple croquettes, three little pigs, squid tartare with strawberries, deconstructed cheesecake, sardine with tomato bread, and winter vegetable soup with egg. Don't forget to order some cava and/sangria! Huge portion with lots of interesting ice and flavors. I also love the service here. Great interior and vibes. read more

Delicious! And the service is great! We are here twice during our stay in Seville and it was our favorite restaurant. Over our two dinners, we had the octopus, tuna toast, Iberian pork shoulder, Iberian ham, Iberian pork cheek, deconstructed cheesecake, roasted scallops, sangria. My fave was the octopus! So good! read more

Incredible unique flavor melds by the chef. Everything we had was delicious. Highly recommend the "textured" (mixed) tomatoes and burrata with a scoop of basil sherbet on watercress greens, garlic shrimp (served over crustini in a sauce that tasted like lobster bisque), fresh oyster, fresh sea bass (with a side of potatoes and onions slow cooked), and beef steak well aged ( with fries). Dessert choice for us was orange cake with Grand Marnier and goat cheese ice cream on chocolate cookie crumbles that complemented each other perfectly. Every dish was unique to the restaurant, not a copy of what everyone else offers. Excellent service too, and we even enjoyed the background music selections. With drinks (including the best Sangria on their specials menu , bottled water, and white wine), the price was about 150 Euros. Well worth it. read more

This was hands down the best meal I have had during my 2 weeks travelling through Spain....and quite possibly the best meal I have ever had in my life! Luckily the place has just opened by the time we had arrived because the place filled up quickly after we were seated. Everything we ordered was delicious and so was everything else that we saw being served to the tables around us. In fact, we even ordered an extra dish (Croquettes) after seeing how good it looked when it went by us on the way to another table. We fly out tomorrow evening but are considering going back for lunch there tomorrow. This place is a must if you are in Seville! read more

Excellent restaurant for tapas. Stumbled upon it when we arrived in Seville. The service was attentive, clearly plates and refilling water constantly. The food was so delicious.

Contemporary tapas and Spanish dishes. Beef, pork and seafood cooked over wood coals. Bright and active vibe. I ordered the octopus and it was cooked perfectly. The steaks and pretty pork were also very tasty. Overall this is a fun place. Americans, make sure you click the Euro. They automatically choose the dollar for you. read more

Best of the best OMG OMGly yummy Never tasted #sardines so juicy, never had slowly braised summer #vegetable with slow-cooked egg so super good, never thought semi-cooked #squid went so well with strawberry and wasabi, and never had a 5-chocolate tart that is more light and delicious We will eat the menu before we leave #Seville. Such an amazing meal read more

Fantastic tapas, always crowded!

Food: Amazing. Service: Amazing. Wine: Amazing. Cost: Amazing! I'd recommend something specific however the menu is constantly changing. Bellota is an obvious choice and then ask for what they recommend. I had 3 tapas and 3 glasses of wine for €34, unbelievable. They could definitely charge way more. read more

Average food, above average bill There are many wonderful restaurants in Seville and by that standard we found El Traga to be average. Part of the problem was that our server didn't speak much English which led to a misunderstanding of our order. But many of the items that others cited in their reviews were not available (smoked salmon, three little pigs) as we were told they were out of season. The Galician steak was good but the tuna was dry. The restaurant was also expensive compared to other better meals we had in Seville. read more

Awesome display of gastronomy at El Traga. We had items including anchovies, hake, cod, Iberian ham, pork, sirloin, and baby shrimp. The sangria was even better than most places here. read more

What a disappointment. This was recommended by our hotel. The service was very rushed and rude. The food was not good. We had a vegetarian in our party and while we were promised they would accommodate, not only they did not make an effort, but they brought a dish with fish despite telling them in advance the allergies concern. The desserts were the only dish left they could do (nothing else on the menu is vegetarian), and despite the delicious descriptions we got a dry brownie and an over sugared cheesecake. Of course no apologies from the waiter. There are much better gourmet restaurants in Seville. read more

We happened upon this place when the tapas place down the street looked too crowded, and were amazed by the quality of food and service. We ordered 4 items (black rice with veggies, pork cheek with quail egg, pork loin, and octopus with black rice) and each came out separately, with a fresh place setting each time. The staff was very attentive and described each plate as it came out. Jose Luis (the manager) also introduced himself and checked on us regularly. The food was all amazing and cooked perfectly, with my personal favorites being the octopus and pork loin, all for the price of a decent entree in a nice SF restaurant. read more

We ate 700 pounds of food because it was sooooo delicious. Ok not 700lbs but still....our very kind Server introduced us to delicious Spanish cuisine and wine. That made the meal spectacular. It was a great treat read more

The food here is excellent! Maybe one of the best in all of Sevilla! We ordered many different tapas dishes and all were delicious! My favorite was probably the shrimp tempura, not too oily and nice and crunchy. The service was great too. read more

You need to have reservations over the weekend because the place is small and fill up. We sat along the sides near the bar area and ordered some tapas that were delish and as someone else said, the prices were great. We ordered the croquetas, the albondigas w squid ink, the steak tartar and calamari. Everything was delicious. The croquettes had ham and potatoes inside, the meatballs were light and the crispy rice was a great touch. The bread is €1.50 and it's written on the menu. Not sure why they brought us bread when we didn't ask for bread, and then charged us for it. I thought the bread that was 1.50 was different than the bread they brought without us asking. Was just a waste because we didnt need the bread and they brought us 2 baskets of bread for no reason and then charged us €3 for it. Otherwise solid food. Didnt try the drinks but they also looked yummy. Make reservations or expect to be turned away on the weekends. Definitely a must try and I think youd enjoy it. read more

Great food, great desserts, outstanding service. We came early and we got in before the evening service which was fully booked. They anticipated our needs perfectly. The ribeye steak was done to our satisfaction. A fork was dropped and dealt with in less 5seconds. The passion fruit and coconut ice cream was delicious. Come and taste and experience wonderful food and service! read more

A chauffeur recommended this gastrobar. Excellent service and fantastic dishes. We had bocate al balbaina, salmonete en tempura and pulpo con arroz negro, avocado and quinche (Corean spicy sauce). Had a wonderful meal. Waiter remembered we tried before but couldn't enjoy a meal as it was booked completely. So be sure to reserve!!! read more

We stayed across the road from El Traga at Águilas5, literally 5 steps across the road! Jose' Luis and his staff are a rare find. They are all genuinely attentive and caring. We asked Jose' Luis and his team to make tapas selections for us, and wow it was amazing! Not only fresh and gorgeously presented but not expensive at all (based on US standards). If you are traveling to Seville and are wanting a great tapas experience with amazing staff and fantastic food this place will not disappoint! read more

This place was amazing! It is so unique and different than the normal tapas places you find as a tourist. You are going to want to take a picture of everything they serve and it tastes fantastic too.

The food here is absolutely amazing! Very convenient if you are staying at the service apartments across the street.
