In an effort to focus on traditional recipes, many restaurants are committed to serving seasonal menus—stews are a custom at La Tizná; La Quinta has also been serving its calçotadas for years. In this way, Gran Café España (c/ Javier Lasso de la Vega) allows you to travel to the heart of Chamberí without leaving the center of Seville. This is the fourth stage of its successful ‘Cocidos de España’ cycle.

Following the success of previous events, this week will focus on traditional Madrid-style cocido, served according to the rules of the art: in three courses and with carefully selected ingredients.

This time , it will take place at lunchtime from Thursday to Saturday, February 12 to 15.

Cocidos de España in Seville: a feast in three acts

Ramón López de Tejada, the restaurant’s manager, is clear about one thing: the key is respect for the product. The menu is not just a dish, it is a ritual that begins with a nod to tradition.

This traditional sequence opens with one of Madrid’s classic appetizers: authentic patatas bravas to whet the appetite. This starter is followed by three courses.

First course: noodle soup, intense and comforting.
The second course consists of Castilian chickpeas with vegetables (cabbage, carrots, green beans) and chicken, which is served whole at the table so that each diner can help themselves as they wish. Note that you can order it with the traditional touch of tomato sauce, cumin, piparras (small green peppers), and fresh spring onions.
The “meat festival” makes up the third course, with beef shank, marrow bones, bacon, chorizo, and onion blood sausage.

All this is accompanied by the iconic bread rolls from the Marchapan bakery in Utrera and washed down with red wine.

To finish, a nostalgic dessert: cream pastries and the legendary violet candies.

The menu is priced at €39.50 and includes wine but no other drinks. Reservations can be made by calling Gran Café España on 854 700 551.
