5 stars for service 4 stars for ambiance (was a tad chilly for me) 3.5 stars for food. I had the tuna/guacamole taco, the sardine+smoked eggplant, and mushroom+jamon stew. None of these flavors really landed with me. That said, I was being adventurous in picking stuff I'm not sure I would have liked. The eggplant was too smokey and mushrooms too bitter for my taste, but then, maybe my American palette just isn't accustomed to this stuff. Dessert was a chocolate couldn't (large!) paired with a tiny scoop of ice cream. Honestly, I found the chocolate so strong that I found the ice cream virtually tasteless. The bitter orange sauce was lovely, though. I'd give the food 3.5 stars but given the price, I'm inclined to give it more a 3. Bathrooms: two of them, clean and functional, behind a nondescript door near the kitchen that opens into a hallway. read more

La Azotea - Fresh fried fish! - Tapas Bars Near Me - Seville, SE

Food is not traditional but well prepared. We had the trio of cold soup - gazpacho, salmorejo and Aja blanco - and they are delicious. Other stuff we ordered was nothing special. Service is very good and ambiance is just okay read more

So this place was right across from our Airbnb and we kept looking at it thinking we can find something better. We were wrong!!! We went to this place twice. My boyfriend is vegan but when he breaks his diet he will eat fish. So they had a fish but it was in butter and other things he can't eat so the chef fried him the catch of the day and omg it truly did not disappoint. The restaurant is a Michelin star restaurant and now I truly understand why. The wait staff was amazing. They were kind and understanding and patience. We don't speak a lot of Spanish and they didn't speak a lot of English but we understand each other. We will make a trip just to come back here and get what we had over the last few days. My boyfriend travels the world and he said it was the best fish he ever had. Please, please come here I guarantee it will not disappoint. read more

This location of La Azotea consists of a sit down restaurant, and a more casual sister spot, La Tierra, across the street where you can order tapas. We checked out La Tierra since they had open seats (but we were reassured that the two places were the same). We got the coquinas (baby clams) and the burrata. Coquinas had good flavor but were too gritty (seemed to have sand) for our tastes. Burrata was an interesting dish, loved how the leaves / sorbet / tomato / sugar worked with the burrata - such a surprising combo that works. But the burrata itself wasn't the best. A bit tasteless and too rubbery in my opinion. All in all, disappointed by my experience here, especially since prices are also relatively high compared to most other places in Seville. read more

Excellent service!!! The menus are in English and the waiters are very helpful and friendly. We arrived around 130pm and it seemed to get very busy around 2-230pm for lunch. We opted for a table instead of the bar and had a variety of plates including lamb, duck, croquettes, and veggies. The lamb was delightful but we were a bit disappointed with the duck. It was cooked fairly rare which we are okay with.... but the meat was quite chewy so it was not the most pleasant going down. read more

Very good, modern twists on Tapas. A small street-side bar in the touristy side of Barrio Santa Cruz with a view of the Cathedral. The wait staff were extremely helpful and spoke great English, though I preferred its sister restaurant in the Central area. I enjoyed the tuna mango tartar, though I feel like I've had the same dish all across the US. I really loved the gazpacho served in a nearly frozen ceramic cup with drilled olive oil on top, as well as the fresh cod served in a creamy bechamal sauce. The potato salad with capers and smoked salmon and ketchup seems so wrong but I couldn't stop eating it. All in all, a great meal! read more

The story of the Prince and the Pauper that is disguised to be something that it is not. I want to clarify some of the previous reviews. This restaurant has two sections. One side is bar seating and serves tapas while The other side which is more formal as a traditional restaurant with dinner size portions. I was greeted by a friendly host who escorted me across the street to wait while a table opened up. I ordered a glass of wine intending to wait for my table, but the manager of the bar side insisted that I order something. Also he was the one who informed me that the other side did not serve Tapas portions. With all the fuss it did not live up to the hype. Pretty presentations are not enough. The Foie tasted like it came out of a can with no special treatment and Came with a scoop of nondescript jam. (It does not contain sea anemone as from a previous post) If you come here, order seafood as the route to go. I ordered the cod and It was cooked well And the seasoned potatoes helped balance the fish ( it does not come with truffles but wood ear fungus different from prior post). In other words good fish but not extraordinary. Food *** Service ** I was disappointed with this experience as restaurants who are pretentious mislead the public. There are way too many good tapas restaurants in Seville,Spain to pay for this one that is pricier than most. With a higher price point, it would've been nice if they wipe down the counter before serving my food and bring utensils. read more

During my few days in Seville, I ended up going here a couple of times because their seafood dishes are creative, fresh, and delicious. Of the dishes I tried, my favorites are the cod with black trumpet mushrooms, revuelto de ortiguillas/sea anemone mixed with eggs, sea anemone mousse cake, and hake coated in fried baby shrimp. The cod with black trumpet mushrooms on top of a bed of vegetables was absolutely delicious. The crispy dried mushrooms were smokey and earthy. The cod was flakey and moist. The flavors were so intensely good, I loved it. The revuelto de ortiguillas half portion was actually quite big and filling, so it could fill you up by itself. The briney taste of sea anemone was really good and the anemone mixed well with eggs. The crispy potato sticks add a nice crunch to the dish. I just had to try the sea anemone mousse cake because it sounded so ridiculous. The creamy green seafood mousse is very nice and light. I liked the subtle taste of sea anemone, but for me the sweet passion fruit sauce on top took away from the sea anemone, so I slid some off to taste the mousse a little better. Very good, though. And I love how the hake in shrimp combines 2 Andalusian seafood staples, fried fish and tortillita de camaron, into one. The fish is moist, and they coat in so many baby shrimp. The thing I don't like about some tortillitas de camaron is that there is mostly batter without shrimp, but this was definitely not the case. The ranch- like sauce below was nice, too. While the non-seafood dishes I had here were good, I thought the seafood ones were much better. The abanico iberico was good, but it seemed like regular secreto iberico meat so it was a little chewy, and the artichoke tapa was good, but it was served on something that seemed like bland rice porridge. Since they display their array of fresh fish, it only seems natural to take advantage of that. While the prices are a bit higher here than other places, they're still reasonable and definitely worth it considering the fantastic quality and creativity. read more

La Azotea is an amazing, life-changing restaurant that is a must stop in Seville if you can. Context: Dinner in Seville Ambiance: 5/5 - The restaurant is a bit small, so if you don't mind getting there early, it's a great way to snag a table. The ambiance is phenomenal. At the bar, they have a display with al of their fresh fish. Their tablesettings and menus are gorgeous. I couldn't imagine a better design if I wanted, although the people who are waiting for a table will crowd by the entrance, which is a bit of an eyesore given how nice the restaurant is... But I totally understand since tis place is the best! Service: 5/5 - We were attended to so well and the staff was polite and kind. They even tolerated our silliness and desire to see our fish before it was cooked. My Dad chased after the fish once it went back to the kitchen so that he could take a picture of it. They bring out seafood per pound to you for you to approve the item and the price that it'll cost before they cook it, which is a lovely touch. Overall, great waitstaff--friendly and kind. Food: 5/5 - I don't know what to say other than that the food is life-changing! The fish is perfectly cooked, as is all the other seafood. There wasn't anything that we didn't love. We tended to select from the daily specials / recent catches to get as fresh of seafood as possible. A great stop that I highly recommend to everyone! Beautiful restaurant, the best staff, and the most succulent food. read more

We got to the restaurant about 5 minutes before opening at 8:30pm and there was already a line in front of the door. The line continued to get longer before they started to seat people and unfortunately one couple was not able to get a spot, not even at the bar. Later in the night I noticed there were a bunch of people standing and waiting for tables while having a drink. The restaurant isn't huge, but not too small where you feel it is too crammed and stuffy. The tables are still very comfortable and well appointed where you don't feel like you are dining with the table next to you. A great energetic and yet cozy atmosphere. Every waiter/waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. Our wine glasses were always full, and plates cleared and replaced as soon as we finished a meal, and what I loved the most is how they spaced out each of the dishes, allowing us to have a proper 2 hour dinner and enjoy our bottle of wine. Normally with most tapas places the dishes come out quickly and sometimes all at once, which can be great for lunch. Overall, superb service. Especially from the woman who spoke to us a bit longer when she heard we were from New York (turns out she had lived there for some time - wish we remembered to her her name). Now the food. We've been to a bunch of the top tapas places in town at this point so we expected good food, but not to be blown away. The Iberian ham was the best we've had yet. Other must haves were the cod confit, the tuna belly special (melts in your mouth), and the beef fillet strips. For dessert we had a chocolate soufflé with vanilla ice cream and nicely paired dessert wine that the waitress recommended. Definitely our most pleasant dinner night on our vacation. read more

We have been traveling all over Spain for a month. We finally found our favorite restaurant. Everything we had was really fresh and made from high quality ingredients. The tomato salad with burrata cheese had lots of fresh greens and was topped with a little lemon sorbet that complimented all the other flavors. We love beef cheeks. Theirs were the best, tender with a tasty sauce and some of their scallops potatoes. The quality of the olives and the bread were a cut above what we have been used to, and we have eaten at a lot of restaurants by now. This place should be rated higher than it is. Also note that they have just moved locations and are about a block and a half north of where Google maps shows them. read more

This was easily one of the best meals we had on our trip to Sevilla. We had come by here before actually, but the wait was too long some on this night, we got there right when it opened and there was a line to get in. We made the first round of seating and were seated at one of their few tables. there are some bar seats as well. The tapas here was different, not typical of what other places serve. The ingredients are a unique blend and thought out. It also had a clean eating feeling, not as greasy as other places. We had a wide variety of dishes, but my favorite was the Iberian pork cheek. It was so tender and soft and I really could have gotten 2 orders of it, but wanted to try other stuff. Another item that I could have gotten 2 of was the rice paper triangles. The filling was pure goodness and so unique. As a bonus, they also have gluten-free bread here!! read more

The best tapas I had in all of Spain. The service is amazing. They offer an English and a Spanish menu for those that don't speak the language. The food comes out incredibly quick, which is awesome. Oh man. The food. Every single dish that we had was perfection. You seriously can't go wrong with any choice on the menu. Make sure you hit this place up before siesta! read more

I went to this place as Eslava (another Modern Tapas restaurant) was closed for April Fair that day).La Azotea is also a Modern Tapas restaurant. Price wise is quite expensive compared to other tapas restaurants in Seville (each tapa is ranging around 9-20 Euro) but the portion is bigger than typical tapas (more like 1/2 racion). If you don't want to queue, come 5 minutes before they open, otherwise you'll need to wait on the line (based on my observation, most of their patrons are tourists who come across this place through Trip Advisor/Yelp - just like me). Food: I had Deep Fried Hake covered with tiny Shrimp (was okay), special fish dish of the day (bland, but the most expensive of all - 16 Euro) and Stew Pork Cheek with Goat Cheese (it has most flavor compare to the two other dishes, but as I've had this dish in other restaurants, I gotta say that there are many other places that can make a better Stew Pork Cheek, such as Bodega Dos de Mayo). All in All, I think this place is overrated. And if you only have several days in Seville, I would recommend you to go to other Tapas places such as Eslava for Modern Tapas or Bodeguita Romero/Taberna Coloniales/ Dos de Mayo for traditional Tapas. read more

La Azotea - Inside - Tapas Bars Near Me - Seville, SE

This place absolutely knocked us on our butts! THE BEST tapas we have ever tasted! EVER! Really! Not exaggerating not blowing anything out of proportion but the simple truth! They don't do reservations so that everyone can enjoy their creations. We got super lucky and walked in and got the last available table, happened to be a little secluded from the rest so it was perfect for our anniversary celebration dinner. All the wait staff was amazing as well! The most incredible thing, we saw the Chef and two others assisting him for all the food that was being dished out! Everything was to die for but you must get the saquitos which are these decadent rice paper sacks filled with this amazing cheese and shrimp, we were told these are the oldest tapas known. They sit perfectly on this bed of rich velvety smooth sauce. Run and wait if you have to, you will not regret it! Oh, the salad, I could go on and on about this salad...it's just baby bin lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, these "jellies" that are to die for and topped with a lime sorbet...the combination is perfection read more

I really liked this restaurant, it was close to our hotel so we went in right when it opened at 8:30. Little did we know how popular it was and how lucky we were to get seats. Most people ended up being turned away or told to wait because it go so busy around 9-9:30. But the food was great. I loved the presentation. I definitely recommend getting the white sangria. I also got a salad and croquettes. Super good read more

A restaurant that offers delicious seafood and meats. Service was five stars due to our lovely female server. Our grilled baby squid appetizer was excellent. We ordered red snapper in ginger, wasabi and avocado which was delicious! I forgot to photograph it due to hunger pains. We ordered beef cheeks in black garlic sauce with mushrooms, but the kitchen mixed up our order and sent another beef with potatoes dish. We kept it and their beef was amazingly succulent. Sangrias were fantastic. We lined up 15 minutes before they opened and there was already a wait line. read more

This restaurant is fabulous! The service was top notch and very friendly - plus they knew about the dishes intimately. We had a Salmon tartare dish that wonderful, a salad with basil gummies and lemon sobet = A+ (we have never seen homemade basil gummies before - very cool!). And a hard to describe flaky pastry with leek and cheese inside covered by an amazing tomato/sweet pepper sauce that was outstanding. I had to fight my daughter for the remaining sauce that she was intent on slathering onto the homemade bread. Nice wine selection too! This place is a must for the serious foodie. A++ read more

Must place to go while you are in seville. The service is amazing, they were helping us finding a table and told us to go to their another restaurant that is located within 3 minutes of walking in the first night we visited. that restaurant was great. We came back few days later and came little early before the door opened to get a good seats since this place is mad busy. The food was amazing we really loved the rice paper stuffed with cheese, kimchi tempura salad, and today's special of mushroom. Everything was great, the taste and presentation. Maybe because i am from NY, the food was not that expensive. read more

This restaurant has now become a chain due to its success. The service was wonderful and the food was excellent. I went to this place because it was so highly rated on trip advisor. It was not my favourite place in Seville but they are talented. However the orange dessert with frozen gin garnish was probably in the top 10 desserts I have ever had in my life! The server suggested it. Very good! read more

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! This place has some of the best tapas I've tried in Spain. We walked 20mins in pouring rain to make it to this restaurant, tired and already a little full (on croquetas from a little joint beside our hotel) on the night that we arrived in Sevilla. But, d*mn was it worth it! It ended up being one of the best meals we had in Southern Spain. The highlight of our meal were the little razor clams served in light, flavorful wine sauce. The clams were so fresh, flavorful and perfectly cooked that we gobbled them up in minutes. Other standout dishes included the salmon tartare (again perfectly seasoned and delicious) and the ceviche with avocado (such a fantastic combination of flavors and textures). The navajas plantas and chipriones were also very tasty but the true star of the evening were those saliva-inducing, dream-invading yummy clams! read more

La Azotea was saved for our last night in Sevilla and it was well worth the wait. The service was excellent and extremely attentive. The restaurant is small but extremely upscale and contemporary. There were 4 of us for dinner and we shared multiple dishes and each was extraordinary. Highly recommend this to foodies and others that appreciate a great quality meal. The portions to be really large and the servers were good to coach us on when we were over-ordering. Enjoy! read more

We were told to go to the other place for tapas just down the road. It was jammed packed and we were told this was a close second. It did not disappoint! Wish we had more time in Sevilla to try out more of the items. Service was great and the food was better - highly recommend. read more

This restaurant deserves a 6th star! My wife and I were have spent 3 days in Spain so far, and this was by far the best restaurant we've visited. The wait staff is incredibly courteous and proactive. The space is small, but we were greeted and handed water and olives immediately. We enjoyed that while waiting for a table. The restaurant was very accommodating to non-Spanish speakers. All of the staff spoke perfect English, and the menu was written in both languages. The food was outstanding! Lots of fresh seafood options. We had 3 types of prawns, razor clams, and another pastry option off their menu. All were incredible! For the 3 dishes, and 3 glasses of wine, our meal was 60 euros. That is more expensive than most places we've seen, but definitely worth it. I highly recommend this restaurant and I plan on going back tomorrow! read more

Great food, good service. The sangria here is different from other places... Much mor potent. Good desserts. We got the foie pate, crispy flaky pastry with cheese and shrimp fillings, beef burger (not the traditional kind), ribs special, croquets, and a dessert that had gin infusion, mint sorbet and some base that was absolutely fantastic. The guys there did an awesome job and there are many English/Spanish speaking wait staff that were very helpful. We took our 11 year old with us and although a picky eater, he loved it as well. read more

The freshest seafood wonderfully prepared. The seafood, delivered daily from the Madrid fish market is on display. We had razor clams (long thin 3 inch shells, still live as chef showed them to us as we looked to select the seafood), octopus, giant shrimp, and a delicious shrimp and goat cheese appetizer. All can be either tapas style or full dinner. Very good service with Marco. He said as we ordered "you can not go wrong" and it was very true. We enjoyed the chat, very friendly professional service. Avoid the tourist traps. This is the real deal. read more

I am biased, my friends own this restaurant, however I spent a summer here and probably tried everything on the menu for dinner nightly. I still dream about the food I ate there and how much fun I had. they are known for their service too. yum, it makes me hungry just thinking about it! my favorite was the "ventresca" and of course you have to have a "tinto" when it gets hot. You won't regret coming here. read more

Found this adorable place with my dad when he was visiting me in Seville. Amazing tapas, and I keep going back. My favorite things: -Warm tomato salad with burrata cheese, basil, and lemon sorbet. I've never had anything with so many flavors, but somehow they all go so well together. It's a salad like none other -Pastry squares filled with goat cheese and shrimp, topped with a tomato cream sauce -The pork cheek which is incredibly tender and bursting with flavor every time The staff is friendly, speaks english, efficient, and enjoyable. The owner, Juan, is so friendly, speaks English, and simultaneously socializes with customers and helps with preparing food. Great environment, definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Seville, a must-go to when in Seville. read more

I have to say, this was the highlight of our visit to Seville. Is it OK to say that? We (hubby and I) LOVED this place! If you are in Seville, you need to eat here. A bit of advice: get here early! I think they open at 8:30pm for dinner, we arrived a little before 9pm. It was perfect timing, because after that, every last table filled up in a matter of minutes - and it's not that big a space. Our server was super friendly and happy to explain the specials to us - in English. We started with grilled squid in a jalapeno sauce. People, I can't emphasize enough how amazing this squid was. Even my husband - a devout meat and potatoes kinda guy - enjoyed it. He was like, "This doesn't taste anything like calamari!". Yeah, no duh. It was tender and FRESH! I think I ate every last bite with an enormous grin on my face. Actually, I recall having a smile on my face during the entire meal. Then came out our vegetable dish - assorted grilled vegetables with a chunk of goat cheese on top. Absolutely delicious - again, FRESH - vegetables. Well done! Finally, the last dish came out, (which was pretty much just for my husband since I don't eat meat) which was beef tenderloin. He LOVED it. Oh, I should probably mention we had a bottle of beaujelais too and while it was good and the food was good, it probably helped to spur on the happy and warm feelings :) Oh wait...how could I forget the dessert??? We shared a chocolate layered mousse which was topped with a salted caramel/chocolate wafer. A-MAZING. I really ought to emphasize how friendly their waitstaff is. They're so nice and get this: they SMILE! You must go here. read more
