These restaurants in Seville already have closed menus for your Christmas lunches and dinners. The month of December lands in the city and with it come the crowded stores, seasonal sweets in supermarkets, carols and, of course, the Seville streets flooded with Christmas lights.
The occasion, in any case, brings with it the eternal question: where to hold family, business and friends gatherings.
Far from having to schedule an appointment, meals during these holidays are almost a perversion. Beyond the most important dates, meetings are scheduled for every social circle. And in order to make your task easier, we detail in this collection the closed menus for Christmas proposed by some restaurants in Seville.
1. Itálica
This bet by chef Javi Abascal is based on an interesting embrace between Andalusian recipes and ingredients with techniques, recipes and food from Italy.
This is shown in his menu and also in his Christmas menus. Two bold proposals that include Iberian sausages, its iconic prawn salad, chef’s croquettes and parmigiana toast.
The long menu also includes its brioche bread with sirloin and carbonara sauce.
Diners will be able to choose between two main courses that change according to the chosen menu. For dessert, he opts for an orange blossom-scented tiramisu and his creamy cheesecake, respectively.
Both Christmas menus are priced at €45 and €55 per person, respectively, and include unlimited drinks.
📍Plaza del Duque de la Victoria, 9
2. Lalola
The rubric of the Iberian is carried by Javi by flag in Lalola, its flagship. Here the stew, the sweetness of a rice with cheeks, a good croquette -thoseof Abascal are possibly the best in Seville-or the precise balance of a sea mountain, which you can try a la carte or surrendering to its tasting menu.
In its Christmas menu (it costs 60 € per diner), however, there is plenty of all this. One of the best alternatives for Christmas lunches or dinners in Seville that consists of three appetizers (Lalola gilda, Iberian croquette and cod fritter), salad and rice to share and a main to choose between Iberian prey with hasselbackpotatoes and cod confit, migas marineras and roasted garlic toffee.
For dessert the Lola custard, a gochada with chorizo and white chocolate that never leaves you indifferent.
📍c/ Marco Sancho, 1 (Hotel One Shot Conde Torrejón)
3. De la O
To the hustle and bustle of the most popular Triana, Betis and San Jacinto crowded with walkers, the tranquility of Paseo Nuestra Señora De la O is antagonistic. Baptized with the same name, the project of Manuel Llerena roots Andalusian cuisine with market products, following the logic of the season and gluten free.
A restaurant that is at the same time of an intimate beauty capable of elevating the custom. De la O does not escape the seasonal demands and proposes three Christmas menus (59, 69 and 89 €, respectively).
Common denominators are the pâté de la O, with pumpkin and orange jam to share; the codcupcake and the sea black pudding pionono, both hallmarks of the restaurant, as anticipatory bites and the passion fruit sorbet that closes all the experiences.
The first and second courses to choose from vary depending on the menu, although some of the recipes that diners will find are the cannelloni stuffed with goat cheese, pumpkin, sundried tomato with blue cheese cream and basil gel or the Iberian acorn-fed pork with truffled parmentier and orange chutney.
📍 Paseo de Nuestra Señora de la O, 29.
4. Castizo
Castizo’s service is always an uninterrupted coming and going of requisite victuals, good for those of us who usually sit at the bars; also in its lively dining room.
Chef Cristóbal Rosales is in charge of this cuisine that combines traditional dishes with fun tapas, good fried food and a spoonful ideal for autumn.
In short, a restaurant that compiles a lot of goodness (the average ticket does not usually exceed 35 €) and whose proposal for next month looks like one of the most seductive Christmas menus in Seville.
Volandeira with cherry gazpacho, almadraba tuna toast, roasted cauliflower with truffled hollandaise and bell pepper stuffed with squid and sobrasada. Two main courses are added: fish of the day with bilbaína sauce and 100% Iberian prey Rossini style. The experience ends with a chantilly and red fruit flan and the price per person is 70 €.
📍 c/ Zaragoza, 6
5. Marabunda
Marabunda is one of the most jovial restaurants, if you will, in Seville. Because it has the ability to assemble at the same level a very tasty cuisine, a casual atmosphere washed down by delicious cocktails and good music and a first class team. It is always a pleasure to return to Marabunda.
Francis Balongo captains the fires of this restaurant located between Campana and Alameda , whose essence is reflected in its Christmas menu -indeed, one of the cheapest in the city-.
What will you eat if you choose their group menu? Their fried chicharrón saam, carabinero croquettes and the iconic chicken wings with their bbq sauce chupadedos. Followed by cheeks and prawns rice to share and finish with a main course of your choice. The grilled sea bass with mango-coconut soup and sweet potato puree or the Iberian prey with pumpkin marinade and fried potatoes.
The sweet chapter: either the chocolate cake or the carrot cake with mango soup, Greek yogurt and caramelized nuts.
The tour is priced at 40 € and includes three drinks per person.
📍 c/ Jesús del Gran Poder, 31
6. San Fernando Restaurant (Hotel Alfonso XIII)
The Alfonso XIII, a Luxury Collection Hotel dresses up to kick off the Christmas season as far as gastronomic tributes and appointments are concerned.
It is not just any place. This Cultural Heritage Site is home to one of the most luxurious hotels in the country capable of offering a whole experience at different levels. As far as its Christmas menus are concerned, they are available between 68 and 78 € per person.
The proposals include, for example, Iberian acorn-fed pork ingot with smoked potato puree, leeks confit and red wine juice or roasted monkfish with Mozarabic crust or prawns in chive sauce.
More informal cocktail menus are also available, where you can enjoy dishes such as octopus salad with kimchi mayonnaise or beef tenderloin tataki with pickled shimenji, among others.
Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve dinners have their own special tasting, costing €198 and €525 per person, respectively. As for Christmas and New Year’s mornings, the Alfonso XIII will dispense a brunch at €150 and €140 per person.
In short, one of the most special restaurants in Seville to visit at Christmas if you have a comfortable budget.
