Restaurante La Cochera del Abuelo — Restaurant in Seville

An Unforgettable Dining Experience in Seville

I had the pleasure of dining at Cochera del Abuelo, and it was truly one of the most memorable meals I have had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed like family—warm, genuine hospitality that made us feel completely at home.

The ambiance is charming and intimate, blending rustic tradition with stylish comfort. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, but more importantly, bursting with flavor. The ingredients were fresh, local, and expertly combined into a menu that celebrates Andalusian roots with a modern twist.

The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive—and the staff’s passion for food and hospitality was obvious in every interaction.

Whether you're a foodie or just looking for a special night out in Seville, Cochera del Abuelo is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return. ¡Gracias por una noche...

I expected more based on the ratings and the way the restaurant looks. Portions are small for the price; my husband ordered a starter of mackerel which came as a 1-inch thin piece in an indeterminate white sauce. The rice special of magret de canard with truffle sauce was a big disappointment: the duck was so underdone I (nor my 6'2" husband) could not cut it with a steak knife and there was a wooden skewer that was impossible to pull out. Needless to say, I sent it back. They pan-fried the pieces which salvaged the dish and made it tastier and easier to cut - better cooked with lightly rare center but I still had to spit out some gristle. Lamb shank was good. The desserts were its saving grace. And throughout, no comment nor apology from the manager who was walking around. Probably just a fluke but should never happen in a restaurant of that reputation or...

The unassuming sign from the outside doesn’t prepare you for the wonderful experience you will get once you step inside this restaurant. The decor is classy yet makes you feel like you are at a friends house for dinner. The music playing in the background and lighting sets the perfect mood for dinner. The team of servers and the owner are all very knowledgeable with the menu and wine. Most importantly they are friendly and kind. The menu is small but that’s what makes it so good. Everything we tried was DELICIOUS! The sautéed vegetables with fried egg was amazing. The lamb shank was so tender it literally fell off the bone. We came here for the food but fell in love with the overall experience. I would highly recommend coming here while visiting Sevilla. I know I will be back...
