Taberna El Papelon — Restaurant in Seville

Visited this restaurant today. At first, the menu was filthy, so I cleaned it with hand sanitiser! The owner thought the menu was clean. Ordered croquettes, paella, and tuna salad. A white medium wine and water. White wine was sweet, not medium as ordered. On waiting for our food, the waiter brought Olives, some parma ham like cold meat and a baguette, all at separate times with no mention of price nor if we wanted the items. Never touched the Olives and 1 person had the cold meat. the baguette was shared. The croquettes were nice, although a vegetarian cheese one was requested and acknowledged but not brought out. The tuna salad (picture attached) didn't look nor taste like anything edible and I've never seen a tuna salad like it. It wasn't eaten! Then when the bill came all the unordered , unwanted add ons were included. I couldn't believe they charged 20 Euros for the unordered cold meat without any disclosure of this price! I said I would pay the bill but not the 10% service charge and said they need to tell customers (especially tourists) the price of anything they are charging for. The waiter said he would not charge the service charge but did. So, I would like to warn other tourists yo please not visit this small chain of restaurants on Seville. The owner told me he owns at least 4 of them. All they care about is making as much money as they can from...

Went here twice. First time at night, staff were lovely, drinks/tapas just right. Returned next morning for breakfast and got the most rude and incompetent woman serving us. I am English speaking however I ordered for the 4 in my party in mainly Spanish. She was dismissive, in fact she openly laughed and mocked me on several occasions whilst I tried to order. She had a small tablet/phone which she was constantly typing our order in to. Despite this our order was a complete shambles. My husband ordered a breakfast meal from the menu which had a clear photograph showing all the items included, he didn't receive half the items. Only one coffee arrived for the 4 of us. We kept calling the wait staff over to say items were missing, they were just young boys who didn't have a clue what to do and the woman was so controlling over them. She just kept screaming ''what's missing now'. Eventually all the coffees arrived however one of the meals still hadn't arrived after 15 minutes. They didn't seem to comprehend anything and the woman was so rude and aggressive. We paid and left. I would have complained directly but this woman seemed to be running the restaurant so it would have fell on deaf ears. Its a shame as the previous nights staff were lovely and the tapas was nice. Avoid...

IT'S A SCAM!! TOURIST TRAP!

visited sevilla in a solo trip in the last november (2023). After a long day of walking and visiting beautiful places I conceded to myself a little time to rest, and enjoy a beer with something on the side.

I asked to the waiter a Beer of 0,4/0,5 cl and a selection of cold cuts.

I also told to the waiter that it was just an aperitif, because then i had to go to the dinner, so before ordering i asked him, something entertaining but not so expensive.

Now the expeted price for one person, with a beer and something on the side could have been, maybe 8 euros for a beer and 10 or 12 euro for the cold cuts (for only one person).

The waiter came to me, with a bill of 28 euros...

An exaggerated price for what they gave me. And when i went there to ask if the price was right they started giving short answers pretending to be busy doing other things, while there was nothing to do, and I was one of the few customers in that moment.

JUST DON'T GO.

There are better places, where you can eat more, for less, and with a better quality. The day after i went to the La botega de santa cruz. Some locals suggested me that place, and i spent the half and ate three times more, and enjoyed every single moment at the botega.

BTW STAY AWAY FROM THIS...
