Los Coloniales

My friend Edgar had already warned me that visiting the Los Coloniales tavern was mandatory when in Seville.

We were there this weekend and, really, it is an ideal place for lunch or dinner if you're in the centre of the city as it is very close to the cathedral.

It is advisable to arrive early if you do not want to queue. We arrived at 13:00 and were seated immediately (and there were more than ten of us...), but when we left there were queues to get a table.

We tried the patatas bravas (fried diced potatoes with warm spicy tomato sauce), the chicken with almond sauce, the rice of the day, and "tablas rocieras," one of their flagship dishes.

Today I went to this tavern for the first time and I’m thinking about repeating. A good place for tapas, good prices and all dishes delicious.

The waiters are very attentive and very friendly. To get a table one must get there early as it gets packed.

I recommend the tapas: crispy aubergines with honey, sweet Roquefort cheese with berries and quail eggs with cured ham.

The time I got the opportunity to go to lunch at the Colonial Tavern I left feeling glad I went.

The restaurant retains its characteristic Seville style, but without over-elaborating too much and also, the layout of the premises is very similar to an old house (if it wasn’t ...).

The food great and the price incredible, only 11 € per head and we left with a pleasant taste in the mouth. Without doubt, a visit not to be missed if passing through Seville.
