Bar restaurante Casa Román — Restaurant in Seville

We came across Casa Roman by accident on our first night in Seville, and the bar was set very high. Since then we have not been able to find anywhere comparable for food, service and authenticity than Casa Roman. The place itself is beautifully decorated with marble tiled floor, and marble topped tables inside, wooden beamed ceiling and oil paintings on the walls. The Iberico hams hanging from the ceiling add the character that immediately makes you think of Spain. The menu was a genuine delight to navigate and if anything is too difficult to figure out there is a QR code for the English menu. Service? These guys have it down to a relaxed efficiency that would make many a fine dining restaurant wish to emulate if they could. These guys genuinely know each other and their customers. They are “on it”. Lastly but most importantly the food; this was a perfect mix of convenience and pure luxury. Each plate could be ordered when you were good and ready and came quickly. The kitchen must be just as efficient as the front of house. Ingredients are typically fresh, standard is top notch and it tastes absolutely amazing. Lasting memories are made by good food and this does not disappoint. Five...

I have updated this review following our second visit. Some months before we had a good experience, served by a large gentleman who was friendly and helpful. A small party of about 8 or 10 occupied another table but this didn't take away from our service. Now this second visit an impatient gentleman with spectacles told us the kitchen was closed when it was plainly serving another larger group. This contradicted a young waiter handing us menus before the spectacled man, we suspect to be the manager, took them from us, then saying we could have a selection of meat and cheese. We reluctantly agreed as we were hungry. Out came a plate of mixed cured meats and a plate of mixed cheeses. Finally the bill. 60 euros for two plates of cold stuff we didn't even want but were offered no alternative to. We three felt we had been abused and robbed as customers who revisited because we remembered and liked the establishment. Of course, there will be no third visit. This is the result of poor customer service. I guess they have enough custom to stick their...

I already had this place in mind when I was planning my trip; and boy, it didn't disappoint.

First up, top notch ambience. The photos speak for themselves.

I wanted to try gazpacho; the awesome gentlemen serving us informed us that they were out of gazpacho, and recommended instead salmorejo (4,50€); with that, I guess I found my new favourite soup. Absolutely delicious and such a wonderful treat to the tastebuds.

The grilled vegetables (13€) are amazing. Not much to say here except HOW DO YOU GET SUCH HUGE TOMATOES. AND SUCH FRESH MUSHROOMS. AND THE BRINJAL?!?!?!?!?

Got a tapa of the iberian tenderloin with whiskey sauce (5€). Delicious, if not a little too flavoured. I would go less on the salt but that's just me and my Singaporean palette.

And also a tapa of fried cod (5,60€). Nothing much to shout about here.

This order was for a family of 3 adults - for asian families with small appetites like mine, I do not recommend anything more than...
