Al-Medina — Restaurant in Seville

BOOK BEFORE GOING. 4 couples were turned away during our visit for not having a reservation, and the place filled up quickly with booked tables. Very nicely decorated place with genuine Moroccan dishes. Service was initially cold bordering unfriendly, but they warmed up after a few compliments about the food. Portions are huge. Hummus -a staple of north-african cuisine- tasted of chickpeas and tahin, as it should, and it came with extra pita bread for dipping. Moroccan salad was a massive platter with a rainbow of vegetables and a delicious dressing. The choice for main courses is extraordinary: 4 types of skewered meats, 4 types of stuffed pasties (the restaurant's specialty), 4 types of tajine, 5 types of cous-cous. We had 2 lamb tajines (one with aubergine, the other one with dates) and the meat was melting and succulent. I had the beef cous-cous and it could have fed (it did) the three of us. It came with broth on the side to be ladled in to taste, and it was piled with tender vegetables (5 types), caramelised onions, delicate chickpeas, and big pieces of tasty beef.

Loved the dining experience here🫶

Pastilla with chicken: Just look at it, and bite on it after letting your curiosity run for 10 sec: “What does this suppose to taste like? 🤔Hard to guess with its dessert-like disguise, oddly charming” Then damn, on first bite, the flavour outran my expectation, with perfectly balanced texture and richness among the meat filling and its crispy outer layer. Plus, that touch of sweetness will set your taste buds down right there like a satisfied school boy -9/10

Some starter from the house, the eggplant one is definitely worth 9/10, I’d even go 9.5 just because I can

Moroccan salad:Mix veggies with some fresh sourness- 7/10

Tajine with plums: Wow, the fruit surprisingly mixes so well with everything braised in the tajine, to accompany some cuscus for enjoyment. A dish that gives a home feeling and exotic charm. 9/10

Some dessert to finish this journey. 7.5/10 (average point, the square one was 9/10)

The journey actually kept going, drank some Moroccan mint tea and sat down for a few pages of African scenery, good life.

Based on my recent visit to Al-Medina Restaurant in Seville, I would like to share my experience The restaurant’s decor transported me to the streets of Marrakech or Fez. Traditional Moroccan designs and motifs created an immersive atmosphere. I savored a flavorful couscous dish accompanied by traditional Moroccan tea. The couscous was particularly delightful, reflecting the rich culinary heritage of Morocco. The staff were exceptionally courteous, with the manager standing out for his professionalism and respect. Their warm hospitality enhanced the dining experience. The restaurant maintained a high standard of cleanliness. The music selection was well-curated, complementing the overall ambiance. The availability of a wide range of alcoholic beverages showcased a harmonious blend of Moroccan and European, particularly Spanish, cultures. I highly recommend Al-Medina Restaurant to anyone interested in exploring Moroccan cuisine. I encourage the team to continue promoting Moroccan gastronomy, renowned as one of the world’s finest. This experience was truly memorable, and I look forward to...
