AMARA Restaurante

Tried the tasting menu for lunch and it was overall not too bad. Service was friendly and attentive (especially the lady). Some of the dishes were creative, interesting in flavour and presented well (highlighting the chestnut soup, artichoke sherry butter). However I won’t give a five star as some of the dishes were a bit too salty(especially the grilled pork terrine), and I think the menu could be more balanced with fewer dishes on the salty side. I ended up drinking a whole 1L bottle of water by myself. If the price had been a bit lower I might have considered a five star, but at this price level (medium) I have higher expectations.

Had a lovely meal here. Definitely go for tasting menu. You can tell that chef is skilled and knows what he’s doing. Friendly staff, very helpful and generous with wine choice allowing us to sample several before choosing. Slight negatives: The 2 main dishes didn’t seem as creative as all the others. Felt slightly strange having chestnuts in dessert on spring menu and they weren’t to everyone’s liking. Small restaurant with not much air so staff wanted to keep front door open which was a bit drafty and noisy for us being right by it. But these are just little negatives… really, you must go!!!

One of the best dining experiences I've enjoyed to date. The set tasting menu was perfectly paced with each course featuring just the right amount so that you weren't feeling full too early. The lady serving us was great and explained each dish as it was presented. A must visit for foodies, should really be on the Michelin list!

Fantastic dinner!! If you consider yourself a foodie you MUST try their baked leek in foie gras sauce. It is absolute perfection on a plate!! (So good I forgot to take a photo). All the other dishes were also very high quality. Even the desserts! Wines per glass were great. The service was friendly and professional. The price was very reasonable. I do not understand why this place is not recognized by Guide Michelin - they certainly deserve a mention!

We’ve had a very nice experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious, creative and modern. Service was kind, atmosphere was good. Price was also good. Nothing to complain. I recommend the paella like rice with duck (maybe the dish will not be available anymore though, because they change the menu)

As an experience - it's one you've got to try in Sevilla if you want a modern but traditional and unique twist on Spanish cuisine. The Chef has insane potential and I would not be surprised to see this place one day get that Michelin star (and hopefully keep the very reasonable prices!) However, there's a few things that need to be tweaked before then. Our server was clearly very efficient but having just 1 server in a place that offers Set Menus takes the magic away - it almost felt like a race and he unfortunately made a few small errors but if he had help, I'm sure he'd be amazing. The food itself was amazing quality and the presentation was fabulous (see photos!!!) but we didn't appreciate a couple of choices where it felt like too many elements were on the plate, making the dinner very heavy. For example the truffle on the egg was covered by the super strong stock and so were the potatoes, or the pork belly would have been absolutely delicious even without the egg around. The main reason for the 4 star was actually the wine pairings. In our humble opinion wine pairings should slowly build up to stronger or fuller wines at the end, however on this occasion we received very good wines but very strong (almost liqueur-like) for aperitif, leaving us overwhelmed by these flavours by the time we received the best wines for main and dessert. It is a bit of a shame because we would have enjoyed the amazing food much more with different wine.

Impromptu dinner with the set meal: AMAZING! For the starters, my personal faves was the glazed figs! Oh my, these were delectable Both mains (cod fillet & Pork Ear n Belly) were executed perfectly, seasoned perfectly, and presently perfectly! And the service was extremely friendly and attentive! Will definitely be back for another tasting menu

A legit and well-earned 4.8 rating as of 11/24. €48 pp lunch tasting menu is outrageous value for a sofa king meal!!!!!! Just Go!!!

Quiet neighborhood eatery with great food. We had the tasting menu with wine pairings. All were unique and delicious. Our waitress was also the som and gave great intros for each pairing.

AMARA is a cozy and intimate restaurant with tremendous attention to detail in flavoring, presentation, and service. Each dish was immaculate in its textures and flavorings (e.g. the croquettes were perfectly crispy-fried on the outside and indulgently creamy - but not heavy - on the inside), and the recommended wines were on point as well. The restaurant is small - call ahead for a reservation if you can - but spacious for the tables it has, and quiet enough for conversations even across the table.

Amara was the perfect stop on a hot day! The air conditioning was needed during this European heat wave and the food was some of the best I've had in Spain. From the ice cold beer, to the starters, to the vegetables, and finally the meat, everything was mouth watering and tasty! The service was outstanding as well! We have a daughter who is gluten free and they made ordering easy and even brought her a separate appetizer and gluten free bread to help her enjoy her meal and feel included with the group. Highly recommend this place to tourists and locals as well!

The best dinner ever in Europe! We had the set menu with cod and crispy pork belly as the main dishes. From the beginning to the end, everything was fantastic. Javier is not just a chef, he is a true artist in cuisine. Bravo!
