    Patatas bravas - crispy potatoes with their special sauce. Our favorite patatas bravas in Sevilla!
    Tam N.

    Dani was very nice and he helped us understand the menu! Food was delicious. We went back for a 2nd round the next day. Great location and did I already mention the food was delicious. Tinto de Verano, the summer wine blend with the límon Fanta, was a favorite of ours here as well! Can't wait to come back to Sevilla next time!

    Salmorejo with quail egg!! Delicious!
    Asma A.

    Took my mom out for her birthday here and overall it was a good experience! The service was slow and the waiter was on his phone a lot, but honestly, he was so pretty we didn't care. The salmorejo was delicious, the olive oil used in it was so light and it was chilled to a perfect temperature. The salmon/mango/avocado salad was also very good and the salmon seemed fresh, though I'm not much of a salmon person anyway so it wasn't quite up my alley. Still, my mom loved it! The paella was overall good. I found the rice to be a little too soft, and the fishiness was definitely present in a way that I'm not sure was ENTIRELY good but also wasn't really bad. The seafood itself was abundant and in great variety. Altogether, a beautiful view and decent food made this a good experience.

    Great inexpensive festive central lunch/tapas place near the old cathedral. Got the paella. And many others. And cañas of different wines . Good times in Sevilla!

    Goat cheese salad with glaze and balsamic vinaigrette
    Mona K.

    Heard great things about Genova from friends and was excited to try it! Ordered the goat cheese salad with balsamic vinaigrette, roasted nuts, and a very interesting glaze that I've never tried before. It was incredible and the heartiest servings of goat cheese I've ever seen on a salad! The presentation was beautiful as well. In addition to the salad I had a small tapa of the house croquettes. They weren't as good as some others I've had, but a good complement to the salad. The sangria was delicious and the pitchers went very quickly! Great location and beautiful restaurant. Will definitely revisit the salads here!

    Salmon Mango Salad! A must have! Can be a meal if not to hungry or a shared item.

    This restaurant was my send off from Seville, and what a send off it was. Having literally gained 5 pounds from eating way to much of the delicious tapas in Seville, I stopped at this place for my last meal until I moved on to the next city. It. Was. Amazing! Fresh and a great view. Right on the Main Street but still quiet. I had tuna tataki and the salmon mango salad. I will dream of this salad for many days to come. This review has made me think of it again and I am very sad for it to now be out of my life. Great service and has a sunny patio!

    Paella del día
    Pablo R.

    A place to get money from tourists. They charge 10% gratuity and terrace service! This may be standard in other countries (I live in the US) but definitely not in Spain! I got really mad when I saw that written in a corner of the menu. The service wasn't even that good. Food was just o.k., lower quality than other places in the area though.

    Great ambiance
    Honey N.

    We had a great array of tapas here. A super cool, casual spot where locals and tourists sit next to each other. The food was great and servers very fast and amiable. Definitely worth a visit. Loved the modern vibe.

    Spanish potato omelette & ham croquettas

    Great menu with lots of options. The portions are pretty small. There is a 1€ per person service charge and if you wish to sit at the patio then it is an extra 15% charge. The food tasted good, nothing overly amazing. The food we ordered came out in about 5 minutes, the place wasn't super busy but it was still shockingly fast!

    Great place to stop for tapas. We loved the paella and black spaghetti tapas. The salmon salad was also very good. We strongly recommend that foodies come here!

    Kathleen P.

    The location is great, the food was mediocre, the price is good, and the service wasn't bad at all! The extra charge on the bill with no explanation "cubiertos" was a disappointment. I love Spain and I speak the Language but I am not from here which is obvious. However charging me a cubiertos with no explanation made me feel like I was being cheated. However I did not say Anything for peace sakes. Now you will have a bad review for not providing honest service. I highly recommend you place a sign stating you charge for each person to use a spoon and fork to eat their food. If the customers are aware, it will make them feel mentally ready. It is not the price or the extra service charge. It is the mere fact you ruined our customer vibe in One of Spain's greatest cities. According to the official Spanish tour site, it is considered illegal to charge customers for services they never asked for. Maybe the owners and servers need to be educated on this.

    Awesome sangria
    Ajay G.

    Great location + cheap tapas + phenomenal sangria + good people watching. Service is kinda slow because they were short staffed at the time we visited.

    When we walked in, my eyes were immediately drawn to the Iberian ham hanging from the ceiling and I…read moreknew this was my kind of 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.

So, you walk in buy a drink and show up towards the end of the previous show so you can grab a seat upfront for the next show. We did this and landed premium spots right in front of the stage. The drinks were mediocre and we dint order any food. But it was worth it for the flamenco show.

There was a show going on when we arrived around 10:50, so the main entrance was closed off, but we went through the side entrance and ordered drinks at the bar. I got a small glass of the orange wine, since I heard that was the specialty in Sevilla and wanted to try it. It was a sweeter wine but had a slightly bitter after taste. There were already a lot of people there, so it was a bit hard for us to see the performance, but from what I could see, it was really good. When it finally ended around 11, the lights came on. My friend and I didn't want to wait around for the next performance, so we finished our drinks and left. They also have plenty of seating outdoors in the courtyard, so if you want to just grab a drink but not watch the show, you can always sit outside and chat.

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).

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.
