A Mediterranean Masterpiece: A Review of La Paella Sevilla's Exquisite Fideuà
While "La Paella Sevilla" might scream rice dishes, my recent venture into their lesser-known territory, the fideuà, proved to be an absolute revelation. Stepping away from the traditional rice base, this Valencian specialty showcased their culinary prowess in a whole new light.
A Symphony of Textures: Forget mushy pasta! The fideuà arrived boasting perfectly al dente angel hair pasta. Each strand held its own, dancing beautifully with the other textures—lightly caramelized and imbued with the essence of the dish. This wasn't just pasta; it was a textural masterpiece.
Seafood Symphony: Diving deeper, the bounty of the sea unfolded. Juicy prawns retained their sweetness, plump mussels released their briny essence, and tender calamari added a delightful chew. Each seafood element sang its own tune, yet harmonized perfectly with the others, creating a symphony of flavors on the palate.
Flavorful Fusion: The sauce, the true conductor of this culinary orchestra, was a masterpiece in itself. Rich with the smokiness of paprika and the aromatic kiss of saffron, it clung lovingly to each pasta strand, infusing it with depth and character. The subtle tang of tomatoes and the hint of garlic completed the picture, weaving a tapestry of flavors that was both bold and balanced.
Beyond the Plate: The experience at La Paella Sevilla transcended the mere dish. The warm ambiance, friendly service, and vibrant atmosphere added a touch of authenticity that further elevated the experience. From the moment we walked in, we felt transported to a seaside haven, ready to indulge in a culinary adventure.
A Flawless Finale: Our fideuà journey concluded with a delightful sweet crema catalana, its creamy texture and caramelized sugar crust providing the perfect sweet ending. It was a fitting finale to a truly exceptional meal.
Final Verdict: Whether you're a paella aficionado or a lover of seafood pasta, La Paella Sevilla's fideuà is a must-try. It's a testament to their culinary expertise, showcasing a perfect balance of texture, flavor, and authenticity. If you're looking for a unique and delicious experience in Seville, look no further than this hidden gem on their menu. I award La Paella Sevilla's fideuà a resounding 5 out of 5 stars, and a standing ovation for exceeding expectations with this flavorful masterpiece.

Read more4.5 stars! Sometimes it's these little moments which add up to a great vacation. We wanted paella, but we didn't want a whole dish because it's just the two of us. Luckily we found this restaurant right by the Cathedral. We ordered the Valenciana and Arroz Negro. Of course, it's not the same as eating in a restaurant. You don't get the crispy rice at the bottom. It is reheated by microwave. But the flavor was all still there. The food was plentiful. It came with an aoili sauce which was really tasty.
Nothing also beats sitting under the stars right by La Giralda all lit up. We thought for sure we wouldn't get accustomed to eating dinner around 9pm, but there we were eating late like everyone else. What a fantastic dining memory for us. It isn't every day that you can say that you had a meal with a view...
Read moreQuick dinner of cooked from scratch Arroz Negro. Earlier in the day on the way to site see Barrio Triana, chanced on a hole in the wall takeout shop prepare and cook arroces in large paelleras. Promised myself to try out one of the 4 versions - valenciana, marisco, negro and fideua- instead of rice, thin macaroni like pasta. Each takeaway portion is generous and good for 2. Surprisingly tasty, rice cooked aldente and not the usual sloppy soupy mess of rice porridge, lots of mixed in calamari morsels topped with shrimp and bell pepper strips. What's missing though was the socarrat but not a big deal. Each paella se lleva was 9.5 euros. Service was a bit slower than expected. The vendor was not at the counter most of the time and had to drop by 2x to place an order. In any case, twas...
