This was one of my favorite meals in all of Spain! I wanted to keep coming back here because I…read moreenjoyed it so much. You can make a reservation online, so I highly advise that because the restaurant is rather small. Somehow I got lucky enough to snag a table right before the lunch rush.
We were famished upon arrival and everything on the menu sounded absolutely amazing. Normally not a fan of fusion, but they incorporated modern twists to classic Spanish tapas seamlessly. We ordered a few tapas to share between two people:
KING PRAWN CARPACCIO: an absolute must order. The prawns were fresh, thinly sliced and marinaded well. Paired with the sweet soy sauce reduction, it was absolute *chefs kiss. The arugula added a nice refreshing touch to it too! I'm still drooling over this carpaccio til this very day.
BRAISED OXTAIL IN PHYLLO PASTRY: was flavorful, tender and moist. Somehow with all the oxtail stuffed in it, the phyllo pastry managed to stay crispy and crunchy. This whole tapa had an amazing texture to it. The oxtail was so flavorful, you didn't even need the aioli that came with it!
SQUID INK PASTA: was plentiful as a tapa, but we saw people around us ordering it as a plate. The garlic flavor really penetrated the pasta and we didn't actually need the pesto on the side. But the pesto sauce was nutty, refreshing and spiced up the dish itself. There was a generous serving of mussels, scallops, shrimps and squid shreds; all which tasted very fresh!
GRILLED PLUMA IBERICO: was served on a tender piece of pumpkin puree and microgreens. No spain trip is complete without some iberico pork. The pork was tender and well seasoned. The pumpkin puree with the curry oil also complemented each other very well. I believe the curry oil is a bit unconventional to Spanish tapas, but I thought this really elevated the tapa.
MANCHEGO: they served 4 slices with dried raisins/apricots and a jam on the side. I love Manchego, so this was non negotiable for me
Must order a sangria or tinto verano to pair with all these tapas. The drinks were well made and very refreshing! We enjoyed our meal so much we made plans to come back later that night. If there's any place you should come to in Sevilla, it's here!
