“ Fantastic dinner!! If you consider yourself a foodie you MUST try their baked leek in foie gras sauce. It is absolute perfection on a plate!! (So good I forgot to take a photo). All the other dishes were also very high quality. Even the desserts! Wines per glass were great. The service was friendly and professional. The price was very reasonable. I do not understand why this place is not recognized by Guide Michelin - they certainly deserve a mention! ”
“ As an experience - it's one you've got to try in Sevilla if you want a modern but traditional and unique twist on Spanish cuisine. The Chef has insane potential and I would not be surprised to see this place one day get that Michelin star (and hopefully keep the very reasonable prices!) However, there's a few things that need to be tweaked before then. Our server was clearly very efficient but having just 1 server in a place that offers Set Menus takes the magic away - it almost felt like a race and he unfortunately made a few small errors but if he had help, I'm sure he'd be amazing. The food itself was amazing quality and the presentation was fabulous (see photos!!!) but we didn't appreciate a couple of choices where it felt like too many elements were on the plate, making the dinner very heavy. For example the truffle on the egg was covered by the super strong stock and so were the potatoes, or the pork belly would have been absolutely delicious even without the egg around. The main reason for the 4 star was actually the wine pairings. In our humble opinion wine pairings should slowly build up to stronger or fuller wines at the end, however on this occasion we received very good wines but very strong (almost liqueur-like) for aperitif, leaving us overwhelmed by these flavours by the time we received the best wines for main and dessert. It is a bit of a shame because we would have enjoyed the amazing food much more with different wine. ”
“ One of the best dining experiences I've enjoyed to date. The set tasting menu was perfectly paced with each course featuring just the right amount so that you weren't feeling full too early. The lady serving us was great and explained each dish as it was presented. A must visit for foodies, should really be on the Michelin list! ”
“ Impromptu dinner with the set meal: AMAZING! For the starters, my personal faves was the glazed figs! Oh my, these were delectable Both mains (cod fillet & Pork Ear n Belly) were executed perfectly, seasoned perfectly, and presently perfectly! And the service was extremely friendly and attentive! Will definitely be back for another tasting menu ”
“ Tried the tasting menu for lunch and it was overall not too bad. Service was friendly and attentive (especially the lady). Some of the dishes were creative, interesting in flavour and presented well (highlighting the chestnut soup, artichoke sherry butter). However I won’t give a five star as some of the dishes were a bit too salty(especially the grilled pork terrine), and I think the menu could be more balanced with fewer dishes on the salty side. I ended up drinking a whole 1L bottle of water by myself. If the price had been a bit lower I might have considered a five star, but at this price level (medium) I have higher expectations. ”
“ We’ve had a very nice experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious, creative and modern. Service was kind, atmosphere was good. Price was also good. Nothing to complain. I recommend the paella like rice with duck (maybe the dish will not be available anymore though, because they change the menu) ”
“ Had a lovely meal here. Definitely go for tasting menu. You can tell that chef is skilled and knows what he’s doing. Friendly staff, very helpful and generous with wine choice allowing us to sample several before choosing. Slight negatives: The 2 main dishes didn’t seem as creative as all the others. Felt slightly strange having chestnuts in dessert on spring menu and they weren’t to everyone’s liking. Small restaurant with not much air so staff wanted to keep front door open which was a bit drafty and noisy for us being right by it. But these are just little negatives… really, you must go!!! ”
“ I joke that the holiday hasn't really started until the first taster menu and what a way to start! Loved every course of the Amara menu, including some dishes I probably would not have tried if it was left up to me. The wine pairing was great as well: as with the food, locally sourced options made for interesting selections that I had never had before. Knowledgeable, informative, enthusiastic staff. Do yourself a favour and go if on Seville! ”
