Restaurante La Salá (Sevilla Este) — Restaurant in Seville

Absolutely awful attitude. Won’t recommend to English speaking people. I came in and was not welcome. So as a tourist, I sat outside the restro, tried to politely say hola and switch into English politely.

And the two young male stuff looked at me with contempt and said no speak English without giving me the menu or service.

For sure, I won’t take speaking in English for granted and it’s my fault for not knowing Spanish so I admitted it and apologized but if you don’t like serving English speaking people or ethnic minority, maybe you should have put: only Spanish in the entrance right ?

Or if you give me the menu, I can try to Google translate the words ? More importantly, we can break the language barrier together :-)? Instead of giving me racist hard feeling ?

When I checked out other restros nearby and came along, two young male waiters still looked at me with negative and condescending attitude as if my existence was wrong.

I’ve already left gracefully and didn’t disturb them but I felt really upset because their behaviours were not mature and...

Excellent Peruvian food, cooked and presented exceptionally well in a small, cozy space with a large outdoor patio. I have a very special spot for South American food and this did not disappoint.

We stumbled across this restaurant randomly and it was such a good find! The servers were gracious and friendly. The decor is bright and colourful, the A/C was a welcome reprieve in the heat, and decorated nicely. There is attention to detail in everything.

The tapas are quite large and very good value for the price. Two of us only ordered 4 and were very full. Mostly because the causa is big and filling. I probably would not order that again as it was not very special, but the ceviche and veal heart were fantastic! So tasty, and the ceviche especially was packed with all sorts of beautiful textures and flavours. Very expertly prepared dish. Yuca was also some of the best I've ever had.

It is worth the trek from the...

Quiero compartir mi experiencia tras varias visitas a un restaurante peruano ubicado en Sevilla Este. Como amante de la gastronomía peruana, fui con la ilusión de reencontrarme con esos sabores auténticos que hacen de la cocina del Perú una de las más ricas y reconocidas del mundo. Lamentablemente, tras cuatro visitas, debo decir que esa expectativa no se ha cumplido.

Los platos que figuran en la carta son peruanos por nombre, pero lo que llega a la mesa no representa la esencia ni el sabor real de esa cocina. No es un problema de ingredientes o de falta de especias —porque las tienen—, sino de técnica, de sazón y, sobre todo, de respeto por la forma en que estos platos deben ser cocinados.

He intentado darles más de una oportunidad, pensando que quizás era un mal día, pero la realidad es que el problema parece ser más profundo: simplemente no saben cocinar comida peruana como debe ser. No hay alma, no hay sabor, no hay ese equilibrio que hace especial a la gastronomía del Perú.

Ojalá tomen esto como una crítica constructiva. Sevilla se merece un verdadero restaurante peruano, y los comensales también. Y un consejo adicional, un restaurante peruano no solo es comida deliciosa, también es una experiencia...
