Al Aljibe - Review - Alameda de Hércules - Seville - The Infatuation

"Since there are so many incredible restaurants in the trendy Alameda, literally side-by-side, it’s easy to fall victim to dining-decision fatigue. Spare yourself from stress and head to Al Aljibe. They’re adding drizzles, dollops, and tweezer-applied flourishes to their salmorejo, rices, and seafood salpicón with octopus. Thick shrimp burgers are amped up with a kick of aioli, and their crispy potato wedges far surpass the usual tapas bar fries. Iberian pork is Spain’s love language, so the juicy marinated solomillo is an essential order. Streetside seating is prime real estate in this busy section, so if you see a table, grab it quickly. On hot days, take a seat in the rustic, vine-covered patio, once the old cistern of the traditional Moorish-style building with arches and mosaic tiles." - Aileen Weintraub
