AbantalHi Mehmet, we can answer with one word too: thanks! :)

Every year, Seville hold a half-marathon race, and every year for the past 4, I have run the race and then gone to Abantal the following day as my reward to myself. The room is elegant, the service is warmly welcoming and the food is always excellent. The long tasting menu is triumphant achievement, where the chef can show off impeccable technique, outstanding produce and a sophisticated reflection of authentic Andalusian flavours and textures.

Perfect service at the highest level - and bilingual too. Every course of the menu de gustación was superb in both taste and presentation. Only small issue - the final bill was a bit confusing, but fine in the end. Highly recommended for a fine dining splurge.

Amazing food. Loved the ambience as well. The waitress who was American was really professional and very good. She made the difference. This was a wonderful Michelin.
AbantalThank you, Moez, we are so glad to read this. Your satisfaction is our best reward for our work :)

Fantastic service with each meal being well explained and beautifully presented. However, the execution of each dish failed to live up to its Michelin star
AbantalThank you for sharing your experience, Jasper. Of course, we'll take note to keep on improving :)

The whole experience was a disaster. The email we sent with our dietary requirements was forgotten, and not only was there no special menu for us, but first, we were served some snacks containing meat (we’re both meat free), and then few members of staff appeared telling us that they’re unable to cater for us. We were really looking forward to eating there, but we had to leave. Service was a huge let down, when we mentioned being vegan and pescatarian the waiter just assumed we’re going with the full meat menu, weren’t offered any wine selection, we were blamed for leaving the comments with our dietary on the requirements on the ‘wrong website’, we were put on a spot. If the restaurant takes reservatio Through fork, it should also receive any comments left there. I would understand that they can’t cater for us, but we booked the table 3 months ago and never got any feedback. We got 2 glasses of champagne for free hence an extra star. It was a really sad experience.

A lovely afternoon with some great dishes and lovely wines. We had the grand Chef taster with 12 courses plus a taster and petits fours. The prawn was sensational as was the sea bass and oyster. And, without doing each course, this menu is lovely. The wines were excellent especially the white Rioja and the pudding wine (Cream Xixarito Jerez) - unusual, so different from Sauternes, Tokay and quite delicious. My only negative is that I felt the service was too quick. With so much food we needed a break between plates. And, maybe as a result, I left full which is never good. Would I go again - absolutely. It was a lovely experience and the staff were attentive and engaging.
AbantalThank you for your nice words, Chris! We are so glad to read you and of course, we take note about time service.

+6Service has been excellent, very caring staff ready at any time to help and inform accordingly. Food was excellent, through a culinary experience that really takes you through the local tradition, in a very refined environment where space, wood walls and ceilings and light mix to create a magical classy atmosphere. My favorite plate was the oyster, followed by the beef, the creamy egg and the ravioli….Wines in accompaniment were also excellent! Highly recommended! Excellent experience value for money!
AbantalThank you very much, Alessandro. Itwas a pleasure for us to receive you :)

Excellent food, wine and service. Every January I run the Seville half marathon and now, the day after, I reward myself with a trip to Abantal. It’s imaginative, innovative cuisine that is firmly rooted in local traditions and local produce. You’re going to taste things that you haven’t had before and you might find some things unusual - but always delicious. Great service too and a really attractive relaxed room.
AbantalReally pleased to receive you, Roy! Thank you for choosing us, for sharing your experience and your nice words.

4.0
The ambience of Abantal was acceptable for a 1 Star Michelin restaurant. After a horrible start with snacks, I had finally hope, that I could get a decent meal in Seville, because the oyster was fantastic. But a big disappointment was to follow. Each course got worse and worse. Chef was under the impression, that the same sauce on 4 or 5 dishes was ok. Everything tasted the same. Creativity = 0!!!!! It was a sad evening from the culinary point of view and at the end I could not agree with the Michelin tester how a Star was awarded to the restaurant.
8.0
Ambience and service is one Michelin star level. Food is not good. The oyster course was OK The rest of hot courses was not good. Especially the sauce for all of them were the same. Sorbet with ginger cream was good. If you looking for a Michelin experience, this is not the restaurant. Book this restaurant if you are looking for a meal with good service and ambience.
AbantalHello Irving, we make all effort to offer an excellent experience, therefore, we deeply regret that in your case your expectations have not been met. However, we appreciate your review and your visit :)

+3This was an amazing experience! The food was immaculate, and the service was incredible. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary, and to our surprise, as we arrived we were led through the kitchen to the chefs table with a complete view and access to the kitchen and chefs. We were able to interact with the staff, and get pictures as they prepared the courses. Although the highlight of the night was the outstanding service and the incredible food. Having been to several Michelin restaurants for prior anniversaries, this one ranked at the top.
AbantalThank you for choosing us to celebrate your anniversary, Ken :) So glad to read your kindly words!

The food was exceptional really well presented and of such good quality, an imaginative yet traditional menu. The service was attentive but not too fussy and very professional. I highly recommend the sampling menu and matched wine selection. They dealt with my dietary needs superbly, offering me some absolutely delicious alternatives whilst my guest enjoyed herfood too. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone visiting Seville.
AbantalThank you very much for your words, Paul. We were really pleased with your visit! :)

Elegant restaurant with an Inventive take on local cuisine backed by friendly service if lacking somewhat in atmosphere. A gorgeous terrace for after dinner drinks but empty.
AbantalThank you for your words, we are glad that you enjoyed the experience with us. However, we would like to clarify that we do not have a terrace. Regards!

We booked for a special birthday celebration during our trip to Seville and had a lovely surprise of being seated at the chef’s table overlooking the kitchen for the evening. The Gran Menú Degustación with pairing wines was incredible, and the opportunity to get close to the kitchen and chat with Julio and his amazing team was very special. All courses were delicious with the scallop being a real favourite, as well as the sea bass with orange and cauliflower. Wines were exceptional. Would highly recommend.
AbantalThank you very much for your wonderful words, Jillian! It was a pleassure for us to receive you and we are really glad you enjoyed the experience :)

If there was a rating more than excellent Abantal’s team and chef would deserve it! From the perfect matching of flavors, to the outstanding service of our French waiter, to the intimate kitchen experience, all was well thought of and extraordinary!

It was a real perfekt Birthday Lunch that my wife invited me to. We enjoyed the pleasant, quiet atmosphere and the very courteous, competent staff. The dishes had very impressive, perfectly balanced ingredients and flavors. We can only encourage everyone who is in Seville to treat themselves to the excellent dinner at Abantal.
AbantalSo thankful for your words, Walter :) We are really glad you chose us for your birthday! Hope you come back soon, we enjoyed your visit!

An expensive but delicious meal, worthy of its high accolades. Would recommend for anyone looking for a real treat in Seville. Impressively the kitchen catered for a shellfish intolerance with a fish / meat alternative for every shellfish item (not just a vegetarian option as is common). Thank you.
AbantalThank you for your opinion. Nicholas! For us it is always a pleasure to offer the necessary alternatives so that all diners enjoy the experience. We were delighted with your visit :)
