Expert review of Bistro Sevilliano
Enjoy authentic southern Andalusian cuisine and the tastiest tapas in town.
This is always a must for me when I’m in Nerja with my Spanish friends. This is definitely where the locals meet up for proper, Spanish food. ‘El Sevilliano', as the locals in-the-know call the restaurant, never fails to offer a hospitable welcome, which is always led by the larger-than-life owner, Joaquin. Everyone I have taken there has gone back at least once.
Food and drink:
The food is comforting and soul-satisfying, and far from being stodgy and deep-fried. Think fresh calamari, mussels, osso buco (veal shanks), lean cuts of meat, enormous oven-roasted jacket potatoes served with any number of toppings, fresh Mediterranean salads, and home-baked tomato and onion breads. My only criticism would be the somewhat limited pudding menu, which largely consists of crème caramel and profiteroles.
Ambience:
If I had to sum it up in one word it would be ’jolly'. It’s a non-contrived, convivial atmosphere where people get on with the serious business of relaxing with good friends and good food. Exposed brickwork and wooden furniture capture the familiar, homely feel.
Service:
Joaquin, who is from Seville (unsurprisingly), and his team make you feel at ease and seem genuinely pleased that you’ve chosen their restaurant over the dozens of others nearby.
Location:
Just off the main drag, it's down a pretty side street, in the centre of the picturesque town.
Price advice:
Expect to pay around 20 euros ahead for two courses.
