Vineria San Telmo — Restaurant in Seville

This place was recommended by ChatGPT, and it turned out to be absolutely fabulous! My wife and I ordered the squid ink spaghetti, pluma ibérica, and braised oxtail in phyllo pastry. I must say, all three dishes completely blew our minds.

The squid ink spaghetti, which we shared, was packed with flavour, and the garlic infused beautifully into the perfectly al dente pasta. My wife especially loved the pluma ibérica—the meat was tender, well-seasoned, and, in her words, “divinely delicious!” As for my braised oxtail wrapped in crispy phyllo pastry, it was bursting with flavour and had an amazing texture. I enjoyed it so much that I finished the entire dish in less than 10 minutes.

We’ve been in Seville for three days now, and this is by far the best restaurant we’ve visited. The Filipino waitress (unfortunately, we forgot to ask her name) was incredibly friendly and warm, which made the experience even more memorable.

I would say this restaurant is truly a must-visit for anyone coming to Seville.

Update 24/08/2025: we returned to the restaurant two days later and ordered the same dishes; squid ink linguine and pluma iberica before he headed...

Be aware! Absolutely the worst place in Sevilla I ever ate. A small group of foreigners, but fluent in Spanish, just wanted a table and a decent service. there was "prejudice" all over, especially the guy who served us. didn't want to help us get seated, laughed audibly as soon as we asked for Spanish menu instead of English, didn't even bother to let us know that pequeño may not be really small so that you will order way too much if you order 4 of them with 3 not-so-young people. didn't beat my expectation not thanking us, for dining. I almost suggeated to leave as soon as I sat. food was decent but who would enjoy constantly being forced to feel belittled and humiliated, even. bad idea bringing your parents. I really wanted to give him a piece of my mind, teaching him what "sevice" should be. and yes, I could've done that in English, which I am native of. You may be a lucky, chosen one who will receive the best service but try it with your own risk. Are we talking about having a good meal, paying for it? Yes, have fun if you dare. They are not cheap...

Enjoyed a lovely evening meal here with my wife. Delicious dishes and a nice atmosphere.

We arrived soon after dinner opening, were seated near the door, then offered a more comfortable seat further in. The menu was appetising, and most things are available in 3 different sizes.

We had a (medium) warm salad to start. It had a generous serving of cheese inside. Sweet and creamy.

Next we had a tower of stuff (tapas), which again had lots of nice cheese, along with tomato and aubergine. Delicious.

Finally we had a cod dish with potatoes in a sweet pepper sauce. Some confusion about the 3 available sizes led to us choosing the "Large" size. Much too big for 2 people(3 or 4 maybe), but I managed to finish it. The fish was soft and easy to eat. Potatoes were actually fries, and my wife though they were too soft, but I enjoyed them.

Friendly, efficient service. I would happily go again and try some other dishes. Just remember to order the...
