    Boletus and Mushroom Risotto with Parmesan Reggiano Slices (€10,90)
    Kristen H.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    i had the yogurt and muesli with a cafe con leche and orange juice

    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.

    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.

    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).

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.

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.
