Casa la Viuda — Restaurant in Seville

During the power outage in Spain, we were craving a hot meal and decided to join the queue outside this restaurant. However, instead of a typical line, they had a name registration system with the staff which we were not told at all. Unfortunately, this led to some confusion, and someone cut in front of us. Even when the man ahead of us tried to explain on our behalf, it didn’t help. Luckily, after waiting for about an hour or more, we finally got a table.

The atmosphere was lively, though the service felt rushed and at times a bit impatient. Thankfully, some friendly customers nearby helped us communicate with the staff in Spanish. After sitting at the bar for a while, we were moved to a proper table.

Luckily, we passed this gem and decided to give it a try. The restaurant is quite simple, but don't let the looks throw you off.
