Very friendly staff the neighborhood is kind of cute that it's in. It has a plate structure right next to it. The food was quick. It was really good. I recommend the spicy potatoes that are fried as a top. The sausage is small but taste especially good and the Tomate salad was excellent. read more

One of our stops on our food tour was Escalona, where we got to learn more about Spanish wine - there are 72 protected wine regions in Spain! For food, we tried a potato and egg tortilla, fried dogfish (shark), and aged tuna with almonds and olive oil. The egg tortilla was delicious and would be perfect for breakfast too. The aged tuna was maybe my favorite - I've never had anything that tasted like that - it was like a smoked fish jerky! read more

Restaurant in Alfalfa square with delicious tapas! We tried a few and shared. The highlights were the patatas bravas, lamb stuffed filo dough, and the rabbit chops. The staff were super friendly and attentive! The place had two levels and an outdoor area, so they can seat many people. read more

At 6:30pm on a Wednesday night, there aren't many restaurants open in Spain, as patrons traditionally flock to tapas bars well past 8pm. However, Restaurante La Escaloná is open from 12pm-12am, which was perfect for my family members, who, as Americans, were hungry much earlier than the usual Spanish dining hour! When we walked in at 6:30pm, we were the only diners in the rustically-decorated restaurant (complete with a bar and outdoor seating), but we chalked that up to it being fairly early, since the restaurant has a plethora of reviews on Google. However, it may be important to note that we remained the only ones there throughout the course of our meal (about an hour), though it was a weekday. We were given a bread basket with pre-packaged bread and bags of breadsticks (which seem to be popular in Spain). The bread was definitely a bit stale, but it was free, which not all bread services are in Europe. My mom ordered a glass of their Red Wine Sangria (€5,90) - it wasn't the best sangria we had in Spain (nor the best price), but it wasn't overly sweet, and it was refreshing on a hot, 108-degree Fahrenheit Sevilla day! I ordered using my high-school level Spanish, but the servers seemed to speak English as well, and there are English menus online! We started with the Grilled Small Squids With Eels and Prawns in Garlic Oil Sauce (€11,90) - a great portion for the price! The small squids were cooked well, with a nice bite, and the eels were unlike anything we'd had before: their thinness almost reminded me of noodles, with none of the greasiness that I associate with eel at sushi restaurants. However, the garlic oil sauce that the seafood was coated in was a bit too rich for me. Next, we ordered the Roasted Avocado with Marinated Red Tuna and Lumpa Roe (€11,90), which came with an avocado split in half, topped with a poke-like tuna mixture, sushi-style roe, and an aioli sauce that reminded me of Japanese mayo (rich, tangy, and just a bit sweet). The tuna wasn't the best quality, and the roe was nothing special, but for the price, I can't complain. Personally, I wasn't a fan of the texture of the roasted avocado, and I think the dish needed just a bit more acid to balance out the richness of the avocado and the sauce. We also got the Boletus and Mushroom Risotto with Parmesan Reggiano Slices (€10,90), which they've cited as "our star dish on the menu." This is a pretty traditional Italian risotto, and while it wasn't the best I've had in my life, the rice isn't overly mushy nor undercooked, and the risotto has a strong mushroom flavor. This is a very rich dish, so I couldn't have more than a couple of bites, but my brother, who loves creamy, luscious foods, was a huge fan! Lastly, we ended our meal with a dish off of the Chef's Recommendations Menu: the Pork Meat Grilled With Iberian Ham, Small Eggs, and Homemade Spicy Sauce (€12,90). We had some amazing pork during our trip in Spain, so this dish was just kind of average to us. The pork didn't taste like the best quality, and it was very "porky" in flavor. The small eggs were unique, but paired with the thick spicy sauce and greasy fries (which were crispy but overly oily), made the dish too rich for us. All in all, this is not a bad place at all for some tapas if you don't mind dishes that are a bit on the heavier side - there's nothing that I would deem "light" or "healthy" on the menu here. Service is quick and efficient, and the prices are totally reasonable - a great stop for "bar food" type tapas at an earlier hour! read more

Food & service were great - located in the Alfalfa area. Menu felt very similar to La Malvatore. We did outdoor dining. MILLE FEOUILLE OF EGGPLANT, ROASTED SWEET POTATOES, GOAT CHEESE - 9.90€ Amazing display, stack of layers ... a little challenging to eat, lol. The standout dish of the evening. MIX DE QUESOS - 4.50€ Cheese plate also very good - 4 cheese wedges; jam esp. good. GRILLED IBERIAN FINEST PORK FILLETS W/ FRIES & SMALL FRIED GREEN PEPPERS - 14.90€ 3 big pieces of pork, plenty fries, jalapeno peppers not spicy. Great dish for sharing. PAN Y PICOS - 1.20€ Observing all restaurants provide this even though we didn't order it. Just for reference - sangria 5.90€, and 1/2 L water 2.00€. Highly recommend. read more

A nice lunch, standard Seville fare, reliable nice staff and good drinks. The sangria was quite tasty I give it three as my dish was forgotten and, 40 minutes later a dish....the wrong dish was served. (Fried egg on ratatouille....egg plant is one of those veggies that I can not eat) Nice decor, plenty of out door seating. A good stop if you are hungry. read more

La comida es buena, pero se encuentra mejor comida en otros locales alrededor de la plaza. El servicio fue muy bueno.

We stopped by here twice during our visit to Seville and we were not disappointed. While Spain is known for Sangria, my favorite cocktail of our trip was the Cuban Mojito found here. The food was very good as well. We enjoyed croquetas and a delicious salad with goat cheese. Lastly, we always had excellent service and the prices are very good. I would definitely stop here if you are close by! read more

The empanadas at this place are best I have ever had, hands down. Exceptional service and great fun spot on the plaza. Would go back time and time again just for the empanadas. read more

This place is overrated, I had the risotto which was very average despite the good reviews. The empanada is okay but nothing exceptional. There are sprinklers outside but the water touched the food. read more

Passing by looked like a good place to eat however turns out to be more of a tourist trap place to eat than an authentic locals only place. Would not return. Gave it 3 stars only because our waiter was a really nice guy who treated us well. read more

We visited la Escaloná at the end of our Sevilla trip to have some last tapas lunch. The restaurant is located central at a small square and offers a nice and big terrace to sit outside. At the restaurant, the staff is very friendly and you get the typical olives, crackers, and bread as an appetizer. The tapas were excellent. Presented nicely, the meat and fish quality was perfect and the combinations presented just great. Especially all sauces and pestos seemed homemade and will stay in good memory. All in all the price is perfect for the amount and quality of food you get and we totally recommend anyone to pass by for some tapas. read more

Food is great, we actually came here twice during our trip to Seville. It satisfied the adults plus the picky North American children!

Cute small restaurant with amazing prices and even better service! Our waitress Edalia was incredibly helpful and accommodating to our needs. Great way to end a weekend trip in Seville and next time I'm here I will definitely come back. Also, I suggest ordering the Brie and croquetas. Spectacular!!! read more

We had a great brunch here, however the service is very slow. That would be the only issue. The food was great. Part of my family got the Waffles with chocolate and loved them. read more

la Escaloná - i had the yogurt and muesli with a cafe con leche and orange juice - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seville, SE

We were looking for place that served fried eggs and bacon and found this gem along Calle Aguilas. The restaurant at the corner of the Plaza de Alfalfa has a nice welcoming ambience. It's bright, clean and spacious (2 levels)inside. We chose a table indoors instead of the outside because it's supposed to rain. We were greeted warmly and the friendly wait staff all spoke English. The breakfast dishes were of good portion, well prepared and presented. The ham and cheese sandwich was delicious. The bacon fried egg tomato sausage and beans was just what I wanted. Good breakfast. read more

Awful in every way. Rude, moronic, freshly lobotomised staff, who deliberately ignored us for some time, before we (literally) cornered them and got them to give us a menu and a table. They would not make eye contact, and only answered questions with single words. When they brought us the wrong food, they claimed it was what we had ordered, which was not true. Stupid, seemingly arbitrary policies about what one can and cannot order. For example, for breakfast, they would not let us order any toast. Toast is only available as part of one of the full breakfast offerings. They actually claimed there was "no toast", despite the fact that it was a feature of several of the items on the menu. When we asked why they would not bring us extra toast, we were told "this is breakfast", as if the idea of wanting extra toast with breakfast was the most absurd, offensive idea. One of our party was a vegetarian, and asked for beans on toast, which they said she could only have if she ordered the full breakfast, which included bacon and sausage. So she just had a small piece of tortilla, which, of course, was served in an incredibly rude, begrudging way. The food was of average quality at an above-average price. I have honestly never come across service this bad, or staff who looked less interested in doing their jobs. I would rather forage for leftover food in rubbish bins than go to this place again. read more

Excellent spot in Seville. Great tapas, good service. Perfect Seville atmosphere. Located on a nice square with local families. Chicken with carbonara sauce was outstanding. read more

Nice place, took a while to order but once we got the waiters attention all went smooth. Great omelette and bacon, my sister took the club sandwich and enjoyed it. The juice and coffee was great too. Can recommend the place for breakfast! read more

Poor service, did not receive ordered food ( but was not charged), waiter was rude and took the order of an entire group of 12 after paying for food before returning with our change. Also saw waiter drop a piece of bread on the ground and put it back in a basket before serving to another table. read more

Stopped in here after seeing Flamenco at the Museo de Flamenco. Menu was perfect for all of our varied tastes and wants. Service from Karwan was IMPECCABLE. Food was artfully presented with amazing taste. All of our picky eaters were super happy so it's A+ in my book!! read more

Great restaurant with excellent food and great service. We were in Seville for 3 days and we came here twice for dinner. Our server, Karwan Khan was very good. He provided great service, and advised options we may enjoy. All of his recommendations were excellent. 2 of us were vegetarian, and they had.great tasting vegetarian options as well. Mushroom Paella was excellent and tasted wonderful, unlike other Paella's we had on our trip. read more

Excellent menu and fantastic service. Take the wine recommendation from Karwan, but make sure to establish a price limit (even still, our FANTASTIC red was only $30 for the bottle). I can't speak any higher of the fried Brie tapas than to say that I had two servings. Definitely worth a visit next time you're in Seville! read more

Amazing little spot for dinner! The food was fantastic and for a great price. Lots of options to try and the service was the best I've had in Spain. Definitely try thIs next time in Seville!! read more

First place in Seville I have to give 5 stars and can't wait to eat at again. Service was superb. They were attentive and came to get us when there was an outdoor table even though we were making an inside table work. Grilled vegetables with goat cheese and Moroccan lamb were perfect. Also got chocolate cake (more of a pie type and not really a rich chocolate but it was good), tiramusu was OK but flan/cheesecake was amazing. Vermut, cava and red wine selection was wonderful. read more
