Restaurante Jaylu — Restaurant in Seville

While the staff were friendly, our experience was disappointing. The restaurant is reputed for high-quality ingredients, yet the rodaballo we were served was the worst we’ve ever had!

I don’t think they use frozen or farmed fish but the texture was inexplicably creamy, completely unappetising. It was so badly prepared that even the waiter noticed, took it back for a second try in the kitchen, and brought it back after it was recooked.

We paid €155 for the worst rodaballo we’ve ever had it must be the most expensive and worst-cooked...

I wanted to order one plate but they did not have, so the waiter recommended the tartar de gambas(raw king prawns). It came with very small quantity and not fresh at all. For the bill, we discovered it costed 16.5 euros!! I ordered the beef plate to share but it came with the main course. My husband ordered the cod fish pil-pil, there was a wired color sauce on top of it, looked like vomiting . The red wine was OK, we paid 91 euros in total. Not worthy at all. I wondered how the restaurants got the good review, or the chef was on...

It was fantastic. But sadly, it was insanely overpriced, and we probably spent more in one lunch that we spent in the entire two weeks eating in Andalucia. They really should have warned us that e.g. one clam, ONE CLAM, would cost 8 euros. And that one (smallish) bream would cost 65 euros, with zero vegetables. I have been coming to Spain for 41 years and have eaten at some pretty amazing places inc. Aponiente, Cañabota and El Espigon, but this was pricier than I had expected in my wildest...
