Affordable and delicious Spanish cuisine | Seville

Amidst Sevilla’s architectural tapestry lies Bar Postiguillo Tapas, a culinary chronicle set within a house born of the 18th century’s architectural ambitions. A former fish market ordained with Roman columns, this tapas bar bears the wisdom of the Marquis of Torrenueva’s bygone era. The interior is a scene from an Andalusian theatre play; bull heads survey the room, wooden footbridges invite the eyes upward, and oversized wheel lamps cast a golden hue over convivial gatherings. The tapas, generous and brimming with creativity, are a homage to the Andalusian spirit of abundance and flair. Local produce stars in dishes like the camembert breaded with shrimp and pumpkin jam, a delightful innovation, while the croquettes pay homage to Spanish culinary tradition. And then, the sardine, a simple fish, elevated to an art form, nearly compelling a flawless score from even the most discerning palates. As for the desserts, the cheesecake stands as a testament to their understanding that every meal should end with a moment of sweet reflection. Service here dances to a rhythm of contrast; some waiters perform an attentive ballet, while others seem lost in the very history the walls embody. For those wandering the historic streets, the proximity to significant landmarks like the Royal Shipyards and the Postigo Arch enriches the experience, infusing every bite with the essence of Sevilla. Bar Postiguillo Tapas, thus, earns a well-deserved four out of five stars, a place where history and gastronomy embrace amidst the clamor of contented diners and the clinking of cold beer glasses, rumored to be the coldest in Sevilla.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Seville. We ordered a total of 5 dishes and all of them were delicious! I loved their ‘toasted bread with smoked sardine, avocado cream and honey mustard sauce’ - I really didn’t expect the combinations of these ingredients and the sauces to be that great! Their pork cheeks were also super tender, definitely worth a try. Also, each tapa is only ~4 €, very cheap indeed. One thing that caught me a little bit off guard is: when we were seated (before even looking at menus and placing orders), the waiter gave us a container filled with utensils, napkins and bread & biscuits. I thought the bread & biscuits were free so took a bite of the bread (but didn’t finish it as it’s a little bit too hard for me…) Later, when we finished our meals and ready for the payment, I found there’s an additional 1.2 € on the bill, which corresponds to those bread & biscuits. I didn’t argue at that time as I think it’s my fault for assuming they’re free, but I would appreciate that the waiter let us know in advance so I can decide whether to eat it or not…anyway, it’s a great experience for me :)

This isn't a Spanish restaurant, it's a restaurant in Seville to capture reviews and tourists. We were a "walk up 6" for a meal at 8pm, stupidly checked google reviews outside. It's new inside, made to look aged. Alarm bells should have rang when I realised there wasn't a stand up bar, typically found in most Spanish restaurants and virtually zero obvious Spanish people at the tables. All Northern European and American accents. Menu variety is completely generic. Didn't see any specials of the day posted. Drinks were ordered and delivered promptly. The waiting staff were excellent in general, until mains arrived then were hard to attract for the bill, they are too busy turning tables. Us along with several others had to approach the till area to ask for bills. Selection of iberico meats was an obvious pre prepared plate with possibly the most bland Manchego ever, supermarket grade meats. Dogfish/adobo overly sour as opposed to marinaded, heavily battered. Tomato tuna garlic salad, bitter and very strong tinned tuna. Oxtail stew, just grim, stewed and flavourless and scant. Deep fried cuttlefish over battered and under-seasoned. Delivered with a tiny lemon wedge. Asked for aioli, thimble sized ramekin arrived. Fried potatoes possibly cooked yesterday and littered on everything. Chicken strips..... ? These were breaded strips possibly from a freezer bag served with a blob of sweet BBQ sauce and a big squeeze of plain mayonnaise, that's a new tapas. Again littered with cubed fried potatoes. White wine adequate but overpriced for the quality, even in a restaurant. The Cava was a mini bottle of a common worldwide brand, similar to those served on airplanes with a plastic screw top. Water is not available in large bottles, that's just a simple con. There's just so much good food to be had in Seville, but just definitely not here. Best recommendation : Anywhere else.

I am reaching out to express a concern regarding an experience that suggested discriminatory behavior by a member of the waitstaff during our recent visit earlier today around 15:00 pm This particular waiter is super rude to us and showed many discriminatory behaviors when serving us, initially we thought It's the language issue since we're from the US, and we do not expect everyone to speak English, and have translation apps handy to assist. He only uses strange hand gestures to greet us, never said a word and not even the simplist "Hola". Then he used some random gestures to point the table and didn’t take us there while he's able to greet all other white guests and bring them to their table. When we're ordering food, he did not answer any of our questions about the menu items, portions or give any recommendations at all. Yet we only come to realization that he is completely capable of speaking English as we heard him serving other white guests who are also from the US next table with fluent English, unfortunatley he just seem not capable of speaking English to us Asian Americans... We thought racism isn’t a thing anymore but apparently we were wrong. I truly wish the owner of the restaurant can see this comment and or other visitors (especially Asians or Asian Americans can see this review) It’s such a shame to ruin a good tasting historical restaurant with racists waitstaff. Truly hope you can improve education on this particular person.

The atmosphere was great and the restaurant was very well decorated. It was very busy and we were immediately sat down when a table opened up. We placed our order and were excited about trying ‘Cola de Oro’ for the first time. We enjoyed our drinks, and patiently waited.. and waited.. and waited.. We were told before our trip that Spanish culture was very relaxed and laid back and so we wanted to be very respectful and acclimate to the Spanish culture. But after about an hour of waiting for our food we decided to get up and asked for the bill for our drinks and left. It was very odd because we saw very attentive service around us. Others came, sat, drank, and ate, while we waited. At one point we saw our waiter sitting down eating while we awkwardly looked around to see if our food was coming. I am leaving a two star review (as opposed to one) because the other workers we talked to at the end were very nice and one of the managers (I’m assuming) decided to cover the cost of our drinks even after we offered to pay what we had consumed.
