We had a pleasant experience at Catalina La Barra! The atmosphere inside is super cute and stylishâperfect for grabbing a drink to start the evening. My sister and I both ordered Tinto de Verano, which was refreshing, but we were surprised to be charged âŹ3.50 for one and âŹ8 for the other, even though they were the exact same drink. A bit odd and definitely worth double-checking your bill.
Since the weather was nice, we decided to eat outside, which was lovely, though the patio seating is ironically right in front of the trash binsâso inside might be the better move if youâre going for ambience.
Food-wise, the brioche sandwiches were the standoutâabsolutely delicious! The croquettes were solid, but some of the other tapas felt just okay. Service was fine; the staff were helpful when asked but understandably busy and not overly attentive.
All in all, a nice little spot with great vibes and a few strong dishes. Worth visiting for the atmosphere and a casual biteâjust keep an eye on...
   Read moreWe had a few days in Seville and were looking for somewhere to eat fortunately we came across Catalina ( La Barra Alfalfa note itâs this venue) as there is one other in another location, and ventured in, I can honestly say the food we ate on both occasions ( yes we returned for dinner the following night) way exceeded our expectations weâve been travelling for some time now and without doubt one of the better meals weâve had full stop. The staff were friendly and very professional especially Alex who really stood out.I must say the chefs who prepared our meals should be given the highest praise. If your ever in the beautiful city of Seville I highly recommend you make time to go to this lovely venue and suggest you try the Artichoke dish with egg yolk and Iberico ham OMG delicious and the Pork shoulder with Chimichurri sauce.𤤠I fact all the dishes we had were wonderful. Very highly...

The place is packed and busy so I want to give the staff the benefit of the doubt. My waitress however was quite cold and curt from the getgo. All I expect from service is basic courtesy and politeness, I donât expect anyone to go over the top especially knowing how tough the service industry is. But what ultimately turned me off is that in order to get my attention, my waitress poked me in the sideâŚwhere my waist isâŚjust feel like this crosses a line. Lost my appetite and left. Again, if youâre a Spanish speaker maybe youâll have a great experience, there must be a reason theyâre busy. Just a heads up for other foreigners, maybe try...
