What travelers say:
Had a lovely dinner here, very good food and a good selection of wines. The food was presented on special plates and tasted great, every dish was like that. The service was good and the food was informative without being too formal or stuffy. It was great to have explanations of each wine and sherry.

I think the Michelin star is well deserved. It is very competitive in this area. It also has very attractive prices in this segment. As a seasoned fine dining guest, I would add that the venue itself lacks a bit of decoration. The interior is in cold colors, the light is a bit strong and the decoration is very basic. So don't expect a warm and cozy atmosphere. Not everyone likes this and for me it brought the overall rating down from "very good" to "good". But - the kitchen is great and we went to the Abantto restaurant for a great dinner with a modern Andalusian touch.
I was not able to get a dinner reservation while in Seville so I went for lunch instead. I chose their tasting menu, which I'm not sure I would do again if I were to return. Everything was beautiful, I thoroughly enjoyed four of my seven courses, and the service was truly excellent. I would definitely recommend this experience. Next time try to book in advance.
This Michelin star restaurant has a great location, beautifully presented food, delicious fresh ingredients, and a great wine list.
A lovely afternoon with some great dishes and lovely wines. We had the grand Chef taster with 12 courses plus a taster and petits fours. The prawn was sensational as was the sea bass and oyster. And, without doing each course, this menu is lovely. The wines were excellent especially the white Rioja and the pudding wine (Cream Xixarito Jerez) - unusual, so different from Sauternes, Tokay and quite delicious. My only negative is that I felt the service was too quick. With so much food we needed a break between plates. And, maybe as a result, I left full which is never good. Would I go again - absolutely. It was a lovely experience and the staff were attentive and engaging.
