    Octopus
    Eugene W.

    Lamb couscous (8.5/10): favorite dish of the meal. Delicious lamb and expertly cooked couscous! Grilled Octopus (8/10): cooked well. Very savory. I loved the fusion elements, with the Japanese bonito flakes and the asian-inspired seaweed salad Manchego (7/10): pretty standard cheese plate. Comes with a nice sweet sauce Anchovies (8/10): a pretty awesome and unique take on anchovies. I loved the flavor, combined with the bread. So good!!! Awesome bites to have in the summer

    We are here on our first night back in Spain. It was across the street from our amazing hotel and it had great reviews on Yelp and a long line of people waiting.... So it must be good, right? I'll say - it was good. Period. I did not think the food was good enough to warrant the hour wait. Having said that, here are the tapas we ordered: - Queso Manchego (excellent) - Jamón Ibérico (excellent) - Sushi de Verduras (good) - Ternera Retinta (our fave) - Wok Picante (okay;NOT spicy in the slightest) - Croquetas del dia (good) - Tiramisu (good) The Rioja Vega was one of the best red wines I had in the city. Service was Eh. To be fair, there were 2 servers only and they were working their tails off. We also had to remember dining in Europe is quite different and more leisurely compared to in the States so if it takes 20 minutes to pay the bill and leave, so be it. I just felt bad about the long line of people waiting to come in! Overall it was good but I would not go back.

    There was a line and they don't take reservations. It was full of tourists and our server was rude. We would make eye contact and I clearly wanted his attention but he would ignore us until he was ready. I understand their busy but this place seems like a tourist trap with servers who don't like that there are tourists there. I would not come back. Been to other bars with better food and better service. The veggies on our tapas were way too salty. The salmon would have been a good deal if it wasn't over salted. The crema de limon dessert was topped with weird blue jello. The 2 redeeming dishes were the salmonrejo and sushi de vederas. The arroz roja was bland and the rice was undercooked. Caponata was good but also too salty.

    Lovely place for excellent food and drinks. Found this place on Yelp and I am so happy i did. A short walk from my hotel we chose to come here for an early dinner and they took us without a reservation. We ordered many different tapas, all of which were amazing. Maybe we were impressed as Americans - but this food was GREAT! It seems like paella is their famous dish but as a couple that does not like seafood there were many many other options. The cheeses, the meats, the coquettes, the wine... all absolutely divine. A true Spanish experience.

    Sushi de verduras

    We came to La Bartola right after a 14 hour flying journey and we couldn't of been happier with our meal. Our waitress was fantastic and seemed like she knew everybody who walked in the door. We people watched outside as we munched on some absolutely phenomenal tapas in a small but fun environment. Queso Manchego - Absolutely delicious melt in your mouth cheese with a sweet sauce 4/5 Croquettes - Delicious and filled with cheese/red pepper 5/5 Sushi Verduras - Good veggie sushi, but hard to distinguish the flavors 3/5 Calamari - Amazing and piping hot 5/5 Salmon Tataki - Our favorite dish, very fresh, cooked and sent out hot 5/5 Overall, La Bartola is a must try when in Seville!

    We loved our lunch at La Bartola, which offers tapas with an Asian twist! We came on Thursday around 1:30 and there were a couple folks waiting ahead of us in line. Waited about 20 minutes to get seated, which wasn't too bad. It's a small restaurant, with some small tables, counter seating, and bar seating. Most of their dishes can be ordered as a tapa or plate. We opted to order a couple of different tapa dishes so we could try more things. They had some interesting vegetarian offerings as well, which was nice so that my vegetarian friend had more than just tortilla or patatas bravas to choose from. We tried: Salmorejo (3.50€ tapa) - chilled tomato soup. We wanted to try this since it's a popular local dish, but it was too thick for our liking. It felt more like we were eating tomato cream rather than a soup. Maybe we would've liked it more hot, but it's typically served cold since the weather gets so hot here. Arroz rojo (4.50€ tapa) - Thai red rice. The rice was very flavorful but I did think the portion was small for the price, especially compared to the tempura sushi. Sushi de verduras (4.50€ tapa) - vegetarian tempura sushi. Surprisingly this was our favorite dish of the meal! The porcini mushroom sauce was so addictive and the sushi roll was fried perfectly. Croquetas del dia (3.80€) - the daily croquette was ham. Pretty solid but tasted similar to other ham croquettes we had on the trip. Pulpo a la brasa (14.50€) - you can't go wrong with grilled octopus, but I thought the portion was small for the price. It looked like it was a tapa portion, except it's actually considered a whole plate. For dessert, we had the caramelized apple (4€), which was AMAZING. It's baked (I think?) with cinnamon and other spices and nuts and was one of our favorite desserts of the trip. Don't snooze on this! We left here very happy and full and our wallet only 36€ lighter. What a steal of a meal!

    Cordero Asado con Cous-Cous

    The staff was so attentive, speedy, and kind. Everyone spoke very good English. The ambiance was great and the food was amazing! Lots of healthy options too. We ate around 3pm and did not have to wait in a line.

    Beef and potatoes,  Zucchini sachets

    Amazing dinner at La Barton's. Best food we had in Seville. Liked it so much we went twice! Waited in line first night - moved fast (only about 10 min wait). Everything we ordered was delicious. Full house all night. Great place - highly recommend!

    We saw that this place had great reviews so we went to check it out. They had a long line and we debated to try another nearby restaurant but we decided to stay. I am glad we did. We sat outside which is in a pretty area. Our serve was great . And the food was spectacular. We ordered the full plates of octopus and squid , we had red Thai rice and a steak tapas. All of it was top notch and reasonably priced for the quality. Highly recommend

    Had read reviews about this place so gave it a try and I wasn't disappointed. I'm vegetarian, but my traveling friends are not. Eggs and potatoes have been about all I can get with an occasional basic salad. I was in heaven with multiple options. The zucchini sachets were delicious. The tapas size is plenty unless you have a table of veg lovers. The Thai red rice was so flavorful. The sushi was good, but loved the other two more. They also had specials on the board. The Burrata salad was beyond tasty. My friends enjoyed the croquetas and raved about the lamb dish. The atmosphere was busy and fun. The staff was working hard and still were friendly and attentive. It was a great find.

    We saw that this place was highly rated and not far from where we were staying. Also it was open before the typical 8pm opening hours of most Spanish restaurants. We found two seats at the bar since it was already pretty full at 7:00pm. The help was hustling and friendly though at the end it was hard to get their attention to get the bill. We both decided to finally try the summer wine - red wine with lemon soda. OK we have now tried it - enough said. My wife ordered their vegetable tempura sushi which was very good. We again tried the "winter version" of gazpacho soup that is popular in Andalusia. Again quite tasty. I opted for their spicy wok bowl with Iberian pork - it was pretty good but not that spicy and not really that many veggies. By the time we left after 8pm there was a line to get a table (this is a small space).

    Croquette of the day and Baby squid with vegetables. Excellent
    Jeff B.

    We two stopped by after a Flamenco show. FOOD: 4.5. We shared 4 tapas. - 4.0: Baby squid with vegetables. - 4.5: Croquette of the day. - 4.5: Truffle Hummus - 4.0: Lamb with couscous AMBIANCE: 3.5. SERVICE: 4.0. Fast and friendly.

    Croquetas
    Gracie R.

    I went in around 230pm and the waitstaff was pretty busy which was expected. I asked to sit at the end of the counter as there were two chairs there and they said yes. Ambiance wasn't great as they were loudly slamming plates next to me as the dishwasher was right in front of me, again my decision to sit there so Not blaming them for that. Some seats further down the bar away from the noise opened and I asked to move there and they said no. Those seats sat empty for 15 minute until people walking in sat there. The issue was the service. It seemed like no one was in charge of taking care of me. I had to flag someone down each time. I understand Spanish and kept hearing them ask who was helping me and no one was claiming me therefore a lot was missed. I ordered a bottle of water from the guy behind the bar and he forgot it. I ordered the croquetas and calamari. Croquetas came out in a couple of minutes but the calamari never came out. I finally after 15 min and they gave them to me after I asked. I heard the cook saying in Spanish that those were for another table so it appears my order was never put in. I ordered a drink from the same guy, he forgot it. So about half the things I ordered were forgotten. The croquetas were delish but the calamari was bland and not worth the wait. I gave 2 stars because of the croquetas and the drinks, once received, were good. I came because of the reviews but would not come again. Very disappointing.

I loved that I was only one person and did not get an eye roll for having to be seated at a table for 4 especially since it was so busy. My afternoon server, I forgot his name but he had blondish hair and slim, was just the nicest server you could hope for. The food was beyond amazing!! If you go make sure you get the bread (1€) it is a large roll that does not look much at first but was absolutely delicious. I was lucky enough though to get it hot out of the oven which was a game changer vs cold during my night visit. If you like sangrias they are made to order. I do not know the how the tasted but the lady beside me liked the first glass enough to order a second My favorite tapa was the sardine on a wafer like cracker. The spinach-chickpea dish is a local dish that I tried since it is a dish to have in Seville. It was way too much for one person but I did my best. The artichokes were good. Clean restaurant and had a one person size restroom.

They handed us some complimentary shots of the Naranja wine which was amazing. It's a tight space, gets crowded quickly.

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!

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.
