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 went to La Bartola twice during our trip to Seville, including with our three year old, and both visits were great. 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.
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.
Small tavern. Line outside. Definitely worth the wait. Pulpo, steak, papas. All tapas were tasty bites. Good vibes all around.
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.
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!
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).
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.
Dropped in for an early dinner and tapas - similar to many other tapas bars in the Santa Cruz Quarter but the menu was thankfully not overwhelming. The service was good and they came by a couple times to check in on us and explained everything. They had some specials as well that weren't on the regular menu. We ended up going with the vegetable tempura sushi, zucchini wraps, and Thai red rice. Everything was SO delicious and left me wanting for more! The vegetable tempura sushi I definitely could have used another round for. While the prices were a tad on the higher end of tapas bars, the quality was definitely worth it. Recommend for quick and easy tapas if you're in the are! read more

Great restaurant across the street from Hotel Fernando - my sister was dying to come here but I kept pushing it back for our last day since it was across the street and easily accessible on a day where we needed to be on time! Their interior is really dope too Every time we passed by, the place would always be busy! From open to close, there would always be a minimum of 3-4 tables filled and often times super busy. We went in the early afternoon around 12/1 pm for lunch and the place got packed minutes after. The service was quick and easy, and she spoke English which worked out well for us! We ordered: Octopus - priciest thing we ordered and it was €18, but also the best - it came on top of this orange dip/sauce thing which was amazing Thai red rice with veggies - my mom was vegetarian the day we came here so this was a great option but not our favorite dish Cooked eggplant salad - this we enjoyed, it's vegetarian also! Salmorejo trio - my favorite, a trio of andalusian dips (beet, apple + tomato) so so good I can eat this all the time! Jamon iberico- can't ever go wrong with this Creamed Spinach - veggie option, but not my fav Burger - it was a 'special' and god it was delish!! it came with shaved sweet potato, kind of like fries, but it was so thin and crispy and delish! lamn with couscous - not my favorite, kind of bland read more
The food was amazing and to have veggie options is a must for my mama! The service was so fast even though it was their dinner rush! The waiter had great suggestions and made it spicier for us (Indian blooded), which was amazing! The ambiance is street and indoor seating. We sat outside as Chicagoans don't get this weather! It was also fun to people watch. Highly recommended and get their prior to 745PM. read more

This is a small restaurant worth to try. We walked up to the restaurant after 9:30 pm, and waited 15 to 20 minutes before we got a table. Food came out quickly and they were very good with reasonable prices. read more

A fun little tapas spot with good reviews. They have 4-5 vegetarian items on the menu. The hummus was good (but tasted no truffle), I didn't like the andulusian dip or sushi, and the rice was solid. Relatively vegetarian friendly. There is one kid that's tasked with 8 tables, so expect to wait a bit, but service overall was good, albeit slow. read more

We were in Seville for a few days, and were closer to some well rated restaurants for the first few days. The others were enjoyable but I wasn't having the experience I had on a previous trip to paint in the category of food. I love the food here and was looking. For that all in flavour explosion I expected from Spain. This restaurant delivered. All of the dishes we had here we wanted to order in multiple! Steak, pork cheek, salmon, calamari were all excellent. read more

SO GOOD!!!! This was by far one of the best restaurants I went to, not only during my trip to Spain, but in my life! It is a quaint, unassuming little tapas bar, but every dish was so incredible. The stand out dish for me was definitely the retina beef with potatoes. It was cooked and seasoned so well we ordered seconds! It is also worth mentioning that the Tinto de Verano was lovely here. I ordered one every night of my trip and La Bartola's glass was definitely one of my favorites. This place is an absolute must visit!! read more

RECOMMEND? Yes! Such a great place to eat in for lunch or dinner. We happily arrived hungry before siesta hours and were not disappointed. PROS: Small kitchen with a good sized menu able to execute on their signature dishes with perfection. Thoroughly enjoyed the zucchini flowers with ricotta cheese, pork cheeks, fried eggplant and salted cod fish tower, and the langoustine ceviche with beets and avacado were knock outs. The service was great, the prices very affordable and the interior decor was really cute. What more could you ask for? CONS? The local beer was not good, tasted like pee. Will I be back? Definitely. read more

Stumbled on this place while looking for flamingo dances. Handsome handsome place. I speak ZERO Spanish. The staff spoke very little English. But the music, lighting, company and FOOD was strong enough to carry any conversation. I love the fried calamari and Jarebear loved the salmon with beet hummus? Said it made him feel like a bear catching a fish from the stream. He normally doesn't eat fish so that is incredible. The first night we had the sangria, it had powdered sugar or coco SOMETHING that made it so vanilla and so special. read more
Just arrived at 21:30 after a train ride in from Cordoba to Hotel Un Patio de Santa Cruz that is one block away from this gem of a restaurant where there's a bit of something for everyone: Chinese, Middle Eastern, Spanish, and Italian that paired well with DOP Spanish wines for a great price, good flavor combos and friendly service in both English & Spanish! Had a great time at this young, vibrant, yet comfy spot. Recommend for the wine tasting choices & distance to hotel alone. read more
We found this place from The hubs' search engine capabilities. We arrived on a June Monday at 8:25pm. The place is already full and we are on the waitlist. We waited until 8:53pm to get a seat by the far end of the bar (right next to the washrooms). While waiting, we ordered a Vino de Naranja (EUR 1.8) and Moscatel playa Regla (EUR 1.8) - both really delicious. Once we had our table we waited until our server is ready to take our order at 9:00pm. We ordered: - Salmorejo/cold tomato cream soup (EUR 3) - Ternera Retinta con Papas Al Horno/Retinta beef with roasted potatoes (tapas size EUR 6) - Tataki de Salmón con mayonese de Ramolche/Salmon tataki with beet mayonnaise (tapas size EUR 4) The taste, portion and price: - Salmorejo/cold tomato cream soup (EUR 3): arrived at 9:16pm. 4.5/5. Really thick and flavourful, full of delicious flavours. Tastes like a tomato-y mayonnaise than a tomato bisque since it is so thick. A little small for the soup, but tasty. - Tataki de Salmón con mayonese de Ramolche/Salmon tataki with beet mayonnaise (EUR 4): Arrived at 9:18pm. 5/5. Tastes like how I prep my salmon back home--the inside is left a bit pink so that the fish is not overcooked. The beet puree is more meant for the vegetables that came along with it - it adds a sweetness to the roasted vegetables. Portion is great for a tapas. - Ternera Retinta con Papas Al Horno/Retinta beef with roasted potatoes (EUR 6): Arrived at 9:21pm. 3.5/5. The hubs really wanted the beef even though I advised him to try other signature Andulcian dishes, but he had to have it. At this price for tapas size, portion is good but cut is not. While grilled nicely, the cut of meat is a bit lower grade than what we are used to. The seasoning is good, but they don't need to add the extra coarse salt to finish it. The potatoes are nicely done. Overall, it is the best dinner we had in Spain. We highly recommend this place. read more
The food here was amazing, as you can see from my pix. The meat was superb, the service was warm and friendly. Our favorite dishes were the hummus, calamari, steak, and wok fried Iberian pork. But really, everything was excellent. The panna cotta was small but luscious and decadent, with exquisite presentation (I'm a sucker for edible flowers). We also had a good glass of wine and sangria for less than €3 each. And the prices were incredibly reasonable, especially compared to Los Angeles - the 4 of us paid about €90. Highly recommend! read more

I'm very glad I had lunch here because the tapas are great. They do a great job of traditional dishes, but also more unique and modern ones, too. The salmorejo is simple, but so nice for cooling down on a hot summer day. Their ajoblanco looks very good, too. The eggplant cod tower was really good. First of all, it looks amazing, but the lightly fried eggplant is nice with the thin slices of cod. They also, serve it with a little salmorejo as a sauce. My only wish is that the dish had a little more flavor, maybe some honey or something. But the pork cheek is absolutely delicious. Of all the carrillada I had in Seville, this was my favorite. The slow stewed meat was incredibly moist and tender, easily pulling apart. So savory and tasty. And I loved that creamy potato and cheese. Everything all mixed together in the awkward little bowl they serve it in culminates in the perfect, decadent bite. Overall, the tapas here are excellent. They do a good job of both traditional and unique tapas for a very reasonable price. read more

Stopped by for early tapas and just wow!! The food was awesome and had good vegetarian options. We had manchego cheese which was great and came with some lemon sauce. Cheese croquettes were great too. This came with yummy sauce and we couldn't get enough of this. The best dish was the vegetarian sushi tempura. The fried tempura sushi with mushroom sauce was just amazing and we wished there was more of this. I had orange wine which was bitter sweet. Service was quick and friendly. Definitely worth a visit again if we are back here. read more

After seeing all the positive reviews I decided to try this place out last night. Though the food wasn't terrible it wasn't the best in the city. I think that the food was just okay and it was expensive for what it was. You can definitely find better tapas for cheaper in sevilla. We got: Cordero con couscous- it was ok, served a bit cold, which I didn't like Abanico- better, but also not wow. Solomillo- better the meat wasn't dry, which is good Bacalao fritters- probably the best out of all the orders. read more
