Restaurante El Pintón

Positives: The sangria was the best part of the meal and the waitstaff is very friendly. The staff was happy and upbeat, and I would go back for a sangria just because the waitstaff was so friendly and eager to assist. I sat outside and enjoyed it. Negatives: This seemed like more of a trendy restaurant where the food looked good, however it didn’t taste great. I ordered the tempura avocado and Mediterranean salad. The tempura avocado was soggy and had no crisp. It tasted like old oil. The salad was okay, but the chicken was very chewy. I enjoyed the raspberries on top. It was about €50 for lunch for one person.

We loved this restaurant!! It’s obviously picturesque, with maybe slightly influencer vibes, but the food was incredible. Do keep in mind that reservations are for the “inside” restaurant, whereas the outdoor patio is a separate menu/restaurant. We got to our res early and enjoyed sangria on the patio before they brought us inside for dinner. After some minor kitchen tech issues, we ordered the roasted chicken, steak, and tuna, with the artichoke appetizer. Would order it all again!!

The food was delicious. We both had burgers and really enjoyed them—though the salmon also looked great. Since we chose to sit outside, we didn’t fully experience the indoor atmosphere, but it seemed nice. Our food took a while to arrive—about 35 minutes—but we weren’t in a rush, so it wasn’t a big issue. When we first arrived, we weren’t allowed to sit at an empty table because they said there was a wait. After standing around for about 5 minutes, they let us sit at that same table, which was a bit confusing. Because of that, I’m rating the service a bit lower. Still, it was a lovely restaurant overall with reasonable prices. I’d recommend it.

Enjoyed a celebratory lunch for our 6th wedding anniversary today. Delicious! Started with the cauliflower with miso which was the tastiest cauliflower we’ve ever had - we are going to try and replicate at home. For main shared the pork chops and pork shoulder- the portions of both being generous and very tasty. Our server Jose suggested no sauce was required, which we agree - we focused instead on the sides choosing broccolini and potatoes. Very attentive service. The atmosphere is light and bright - a memorable meal. We are glad to have chosen this restaurant for our special day.

Came here for my birthday during our five day trip. Restaurant is pretty inside. Some of the food is nice such as the burrata but I wouldn’t say the mains are really worth the price; I had the pork sirloin (don’t bother) and my partner had the ribs (he did enjoy)it wasn’t anything special and took about an hour to come. Nice for an insta pic but probably give a miss for a special occasion.

All the dishes were good, but none were exceptional or memorable. Better than the average restaurant in the are thou. It’s overall a five star for me since the price was very fair(given the location), the venue is beautiful and the service was helpful and friendly (patient and made good recommendations). Would bring friends back for casual dinners, but would choose somewhere else (and probably more expensive) for special occasions.

The indoor area has a beautiful atmosphere, but we couldn’t get a spot inside even though there seemed to be available tables. As for the food, it was quite delicious, and the sangria was very strong—which was also pleasant. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Great food, a bit overpriced. Would highly recommend the Artichoke hearts and the croquetas as starters ! The food all round was great, and the service was attentive. Only call-out is Sevilla has available high quality food at much more affordable prices across the city. This could be a good option for a celebratory meal.

So many wonderful tapas restaurants in Seville. We found this place trying to get out of the rain. It was nice to find a warm place with kind servers and great food! The restaurant was busy but there was a table we shared with another couple. The menus are available in English and Spanish. More languages are available if you ask. Very friendly to tourists which was great for us. There seemed to be a lot of tourists there speaking so many languages which I love! This place was a little more expensive compared to some of the more local tapas restaurants. The menu catered to foreigners with hamburgers which we ordered. My husband was craving a burger and it was great! I got the beef tartare and the cod fritters. The cod fritters were a lot to share. Both were great. Our waiter was so polite and helpful. If he didn't understand us, he asked someone for help.

El Pintón is an innovative tapas spot located in a colorfully designed street in Sevilla. It has a chic Mediterranean taste. Sitting outside was exquisite, as the weather was perfect and the street nor restaurant was not too crowded or deserted. The food, however, was one of the best tapas we have had in Spain thus far. My favorite was the huevo tempura trufado, which is a tempura fried egg with truffle cream. The prices were affordable for a restaurant of this caliber. We walked in without a reservation, but I recommend making one to ensure getting a table. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Sevilla!

Pork and chicken were both cooked perfectly. The "cucumbers" starter was actually pickles but I think this is just poor translation on the English menu - nothing wrong with pickles but it wasn't what we were expecting. The cream sauce they came with was delicious with the bread though!

Service was very slow and the staff not friendly. A smile every once in a while would be good. They appeared to not want to be there.

I was intrigued with this place because of their selection of drinks and cocktails! Made a reservation here for my birthday on our first day in Seville. As most restaurants, they have both indoor and outdoor dining but we were seated inside. Our server was kind enough to speak to us in both English and Spanish. They ran out of a few menu items, but still had plenty of options for us to choose. Since we had a fairly late lunch, we each ordered a drink - mine was the combination number 3 I believe. The server actually brought a glass of ice, ginger beer and Jack Daniels Etiqueta Negra (think of the drink as a Moscow mule but instead of vodka it's with a smoky Jack Daniels). She gave me a hefty pour if liquor that she poured into the glass of ice and even asked me if I wanted more. As I'm not a big drinker, I politely refused and accepted what she poured in. I love ginger beer and wish the ginger beer it was served with was spicier. We shared a salad and a burger. The salad had nuts and corn bits, which in my opinion was not edible and too hard to chew. The burger was delicious though and easily big enough to share between two people. It's ground beef but tasted so different and much better than the ones in the US. I don't recall our server asking how we liked our burger cooked, but this was cooked medium. Beware though since they instantly bring you a bread basket that is not complementary. I believe it was about €1.80 per person extra charge that you will see on your check. I'm sure you can opt out of getting the bread if you don't want it!

Such a great atmosphere. Went for my birthday and they were so accommodating. The food was great and I recommend the cod fritters!

Top-notch arrogance of the unwelcoming staff at the entry. Looks nice inside but not worth the condescending attitude. We rather chose Torres Y Garcia (at Calle Harinas 2) which was not just an alternative but a supreme choice.

Very nice place. Delicious food and more or less friendly stuff in comparison to other placed around here. Also waiters speak English. I recommend this place

Nice place in a quiet (relatively) triangle in the tourist area. Outdoor seating is nice for people watching and an espresso or sangria and snacks. We had the rabbit tacos: marinated meat with an avocado salsa and pickled onions. It would be better if there were 2 tacos for wrapping instead of just one. Cod fritters were not very crunchy but the cod was deliciously prepared. Service is good, food comes fast and espresso is excellent.

Aesthetically beautiful restaurant with gorgeously plated food and really delicious drinks. Sangria here is certainly strong! We particularly liked the tuna tartare as well as the clams. A treat for the eyes and definitely an instagrammable restaurant as well. Conveniently located not too far from Sevilla Cathedral or even from the alcazar, and a good lunch locale for both food and drinks, just a little pricey; not absolutely unreasonable.

The food was good but the service was horrible!!! The disco bar ambiance was a bit loud so if you like rude waiters in noisy places, you will like this place!

The food was spectacular, best Risotto I've ever had. The presentation of the dishes were well done, and the ambience was beautiful/trendy. Service was alright. They were kind enough to speak to us in English

This spot has one of the most pretty interiors that I've seen. We had already enjoyed a tapas lunch but thought we could eat more and rest up before our next tour. The prices are a little higher but nothing outrageous. We opted for two tapas and two beers. The tempura sof boiled egg looked so good with the smell of truffle cream and all. I was a bit disappointed that the egg inside was cold. The batter wasn't hot either so not sure when it was deep fried. There were 8 croquettes and we ordered the assorted one. Honestly couldn't tell very well what the meat inside were but appreciated that the batter was lighter than others we've tried. Service was fairly attentive as there were quite a number of people sitting outside also. I would come here for the atmosphere and a drink. The foods were decent but not amazing. The bill came to €18 for 4 items.

Me and my friends stopped in this place for a friends birthday. Immediately the atmosphere is so calming and nice. We all got drinks. The mojito's were very cool because of the ice they were made of looked like shaved ice. Me and a friend got a pitcher of sangria which to this day we remember as our favorite. (We lived in Spain for 8 months so we had a lot to chose from) it had strawberry's and bananas and rose merry. The fruit was lovely to eat afterwards and the rose merry really added to the drink. Next we all ordered. Everyone loved what they got. I personally got the battered egg which sounds odd but was AMAZING. Truly a culinary wounded in my opinion and I would recommend everyone to try it. I wasn't full after this however go I got a lemon pie dessert and it was also amazing. It was tangy and not too sweet. Over all an amazing meal in a lovely place!

The Risotto!!!!! So good! I would order the risotto again and again! Also the Sangria here was amazing! We got both the red and white sangria! Personally preferred the white sangria, but it is sweeter than the red.

We finally made it to this restaurant after 2 years of living outside of Seville and I can't say I was happy about it. The place is absolutely gorgeous with an inside garden and rustic decor. The servers for the most part are okay not great especially this one female in particular I believe she's Latina maybe from South America. She had an attitude, didn't care about the customers and was stand-off ish turned me off completely to the entire experience. I ordered the red wine sangria and it was definitely made with the entire sugar jar. No one offered to give me something new. The prices are high for Seville. The only 2 items I liked on the menu were the buñelos de Bacalao and the Ensaladilla de ahumados(with less mayo of course) we ordered the risotto which no where in the description it mentioned that the chef would decorate it with curry. Who does that? Curry out of all spices? Weird! I'm allergic to it and when we asked about it that annoyed waitress mentioned, you didn't mention that you were allergic. I said no where on the menu does it say that the risotto has curry as an ingredient. She smirked, well this is a fusion kitchen. Done! We ordered coffee and the brownie the brownie was meh nothing special, I also asked if there was anything other than regular milk for my coffee she said no with an attitude and had no regard to my request. After all of this, we waited for our check and for someone to take our payment for almost 15 minutes. Never again. Sorry I wouldn't recommend this place especially because of the service and the the way the food is presented. I come from the city of fusion cuisine (New York) and this is not fusion! When fusion is done the menu is detailed to avoid situations like the one I had yesterday. There are much better restaurants in Seville with much better service. Avoid this one.

This place was actually the highlight of our trip to Seville. I wish I could give it 4.5 stars instead of 4 or 5. It was a great place with very nice food and solid service. A great change from other Tapas places. We had the patatas bravas which were probably the best we had in Spain. The seared tuna was delicious and the ribs were amazing with the roasted garlic mashed potatoes. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for something a bit different without a touristy feel.

After going into another restaurant for dinner around 5, we left after 5 minutes when staff literally ignored us. They seated us and then couldn't be bothered with us - their only customers (party of 6). Thankfully, we came upon El Pintón. Our waiter although Spanish, spoke flawless English and was quite engaging and attentive . We didn't catch his name, but he told us he learned English by watching movies. Too bad we didn't get to ask about his favorite films. He gave us heads up on sizing for the mussels (quite a large portion). I had the scallops with parsnip foam. OMG! I wish there had been more than four, but then I had some of the mussels we bought to share. Very good. Not tough or gummy. The tenderloin steak was more of a medium than medium rare and a little on the small size for adult entree, as was the Iberian ribs for other 2 adults, but very tasty. The burger was cooked well, but not a fan of the Brie on the meat. The adult who ordered mussels as her entree had her fill. When we finished, I wanted to order dessert and our waiter suggested the cheesecake. I said I was thinking about the rum pineapple with coconut foam and anise. He said okay, but the cheesecake is a must. We ended up getting the cheesecake and it was absolutely divine, served with what I would guess was a small batch in-house ice cream (I can only guess - and not your run of the mill vanilla ice cream). While this was our most expensive meal, the quality of the food and the service made it well worth the price. Truth be told, with tip (propino) it was comparable (adjusting portion sizes - which always seem to large in US with leftovers that aren't ever as good) to a nice dinner in Southern California. If we're ever back in Sevilla, this will be our first and last night meals.

I was recommended by a friend to try this place and was told to try the calamari sandwich. Upon arriving, we were told the wait would be about two hours and since we weren't too hungry we decided to leave our phone number and wait to be called. After walking 30 minutes, they called us and said they had an open table. I was so excited to order the calamari sandwich since the pictures on yelp looked so good, but the waitress said they no longer serve it at the restaurant (the menu I was given was also different from the ones on yelp, wish I took a picture). I opt'd for the cod instead and the portion was absolutely tiny for the overpriced cost of the dish. On the plus side, the inside of the restaurant was beautiful and I enjoyed the indoor trees and plants.

Delicious food and attentive service. Bumped into this place after touring around the palace on an extremely hot day (over 35 degree C). Waitress told us to wait 30 min for an inside seating but has periodically checked with us to make sure we were not bored. Food is spectacular! We had egg omelet with truffle sauce and beef tartare. Both came in 10 min and were loaded with flavor. The chef constructed his/ her perfectly sized, intensely flavorful tartare with a modest chop of steak, mixed with confit tomatoes, onions (maybe?) , honey (maybe?), lemon juice, olive oil, and other small chunks of veggies, and topped with a quail egg. Very memorable dish. Must try.

BEST restaurant in Seville/the world. If I had to pick a #1 favorite spot ever for quality and value, it's El Pinton. I wish we had one in NYC and I miss it every day. So cheap for what you get and the entire experience. Interior is amazing, design is great, and the patio is lovely too. If this place was in New York, it'd be 10x the cost. The duck is unforgettable and the egg thing + ink pasta was also memorable. Everything we've ever gotten here was great -- risotto, chicken, etc. No complaints. Can't wait to come back to Spain and eat here again.

Best to make a reservation. We were able to eat outside with no reservation probs because it was raining that night. The server was friendly, the food good, the wine tasty but nothing overly memorable to recommend this to others as the "can't miss place" of Seville.

Excellent food with some different choices than what is found around the Cathedral. Great sangria too. Its comes in two colors: red and white. Try both!

The menu threw us off a bit - it didn't sound typical, nor super appealing. But boy were we wrong!!! The gazpacho was simply amazing, best I ever had. Which may seem underwhelming for something so simple, but it was worth every sip. I was literally licking the glass it was served in. The grilled veggies were extremely fresh and still crunchy- we were on a roll! Then came the buratta salad dressed in truffle oil, thank you chef! And while I didn't quite see the taco in my "salmon taco" - it was cooked to perfection and definitely a great choice. As were the finger-licking ribs. Couldn't have asked for a more pleasant meal with friendly (and surprisingly quick) service on a Friday night.

I have mixed feelings about this place. Apparently they changed to a pretty concise menu without a lot of options. Be aware it's more of an international restaurant than one that offers Spanish specialties. The Mushroom Risotto was quite good although the portion was quite small for the price. Nothing else interested me in the menu to be honest.

This is what I needed when coming to an old city and looking for new modern delicious food. We originally spent 60€ at another restaurant and still feeling hungry and we popped into this restaurant (without a reservation) and luckily we got in right away. We ordered a ribeye steak but they charge 7€ PER 100g and they have like 650g/700g/800g so order accordingly. The risotto was off the charts. They use local cheese so it has a bit of kick to it. I loved our server, he was really nice and knew English. Well worth the try if you're in the area.

Terrible service... took so long to get seated and we waited for our food for 1.5hrs. There were several groups who had the same issue, and some left early before the food came out.

This is Not A Tapas Bar. Sophisticated modern cuisine. Lovely room good staff. Popular. Good meat and fish. Bread came out - whole wheat ! 3 cheers. See menu on line. Special. We had the vegetable starter which was delicious. The sirloin and mushroom sauce good. As was salmon dish. Try this place. Not typical

My husband and I absolutely loved this place! We popped in between lunch and dinner so they were only seating people on the patio but that was perfectly alright with us. Our waiter was extremely friendly and attentive. We shared the Burrata Salad, Tuna Tartare and Risotto. I would absolutely recommend each of these dishes but the Burrata was the star. The avocado and tomato paired with it were so fresh. The Sangria was a little too sugary for me but it was still good! Only tip would be to make reservations if you are planning to go for dinner!

Food was ok but service was below par. Main courses arrived throughout starters if they arrived at all. Even dishes that didn't appear did find their way to the bill though... Better experiences to be had in other places.

Anything you order from this place is gold, Come with an appetite and enjoy every bite.

Only stopped here for a snack but it was very nice, we had the risotto and sangria outdoors. Very much enjoyed both, especially the risotto. Would come back for another visit.

Excellent food. Stunning veal stuffed with mushroom, great BBQ octopus and steak. The service was great and extraordinary for Spain (where I generally find the service poor). I recommend it to everyone going to Seville but do book for 9pm onwards. We felt like we were pensioners at 8pm. Young people get there from 10pm onwards.

We tried the mini-hamburger, the squid sandwich and the risotto. Everything was delicious, i'm usually not a fan of risotto but this one was amazing and cooked perfectly. Miguel our waiter was very knowlegeable about the menu, wines and origin of the ingredients. El Pinton is an expression meaning like a top notch beatiful artistic drawing and true to it's name every dish was very nicely presented.

Nice food but the server was always rushing us. We found this nice place on our first night at Sevilla. The environment is so cool and chill.

Visited here with my family. My adult daughter has allergies and has restrictions including no sugar. Had a delicious mojito sugar free and the risotto is the best I've ever tasted ( sorry Aunt Louise :( ). I ordered the vegetables and they were grilled to perfection. My daughter ordered salmon tartar with guacamole and after tasting it I wished I had ordered the the two dishes in addition to mine! This place you should come to before you leave ! Next to plaza De Francisco. Must see. The place is so quaint inside and it's air conditioned in summer. We opted for inside as we visited in August and it was hot out.

Service was great. They had menus in multiple languages, so its tourist friendly. I had the red sangria, which was good, but different. I had never had sangria with banana in it, which made it taste different, but not necessarily bad. We got the bravas, which were some of the best I've had in Spain, the burrata salad, which was good, and the mini hamburgers, which rival some of the best burgers I've had in years. Would definitely eat here again, and probably will before we leave Sevilla.

We were there late like 4:30 pm for lunch; happy to find this gorgeous place we have been wanting to try is not in siesta. We had the 2 amazing specials - sardine toast and smoked mackerel. Yum yum yum. Service is sweet too.

Came here with my husband because the design from outside looked so cool! This was seriously one of the best meals in Sevilla yet! Service was great, the food was delicious as well. We got the salmon tartar and cheese risotto, and virgin mint mojito and sangria. Definitely recommend this place!!

So, the place is dead, we ask for a table and they say do you have a reservation?..they would not let us dine inside and put us out side e even though we were dressed appropriately.. very d/bag service..we were there fora few hours and of course the inside dining area was still empty....food was ok..manager had a stick up his rectum when i moved a flower from inside to my girlfriend table outside..saying it wasn't allowed..please..we didn't have any flowers outside..waiters were cool..don't waste your time..go to a tapas bar..I'd put 0 star if available

Great place for an al fresco lunch on a warm afternoon. They have those most machines under the awnings to keep you cool while you done. I ordered the salmorejo, a cold veggie soup not unlike gazpacho but creamier and less acidic. Then I had a fantastic green salad with lamb's lettuce, Gorgonzola and terrifically moist raisins in a very beautiful vinaigrette. Then I had the calamari sandwich. I was too full to eat the bread, but I happily devoured the calamari, lightly fried and served with a drizzle of excellent mayonnaise and a squeeze or five of lime juice. That and a beer made for a very satisfying lunch. Good service, too. The inside courtyard looked lovely.

Surprisingly terrible food from this "trendy" Seville restaurant. The Fried fish of Cadiz had zero flavor and tasted like chicken. The Iberian ribs had a weird sauce that was similar to apple sauce. And the anchovies starter... had great anchovies across Tapas bars in Seville but here it was so dry and tough. They bring you bread (without you asking) and add 2 Euro to your bill. I hate when they do that. On the plus side the bloody gazpacho was tasty and they do a nice Sangria here. The ambience is nice and airy with beautiful arches in ceilings.

Lovely space, great food, AMAZING prices, and friendly service. All just outside of the maddening tourist area surrounding the Cathedral. We walked past this place all week on our way from our apartment rental into various other parts of town and never stopped because the outside tables were almost always empty. Big mistake. I'm still shocked at what a bargain this was. We shared the shrimp churros--my husbands pick and not really my style but I have to admit I enjoyed them immensely--and the cod. The cod was beautifully cooked, coated in a spice mixture, seated on bed of flavorful spiced risotto, and then topped with what I believe was black salt. Even the tiny asparagus heads used for garnish were expertly cooked, lightly battered and fried. If we had time, I'd return and try the squid ink pasta with prawns.

Nice and modern bar. Not so friendly staff. Mussels were so so. No paella as websites like Yelp will say. Slow service.

Simply fantastic!! 4/4 items were excellent. Bursts salad Risotto Mushroom with truffle cream Brioche French toast with nougat mousse and orange I cream. Great service.

You must try their grilled octopus, mini ox burger and halibut. Beautiful ambience and friendly service. Our favorite place to dine in Seville. Thank you El Pinton!

The food was good but not exceptional. Paella rather poor and far too cooked. Excellent white wine from Galicia but served not in a professional way, like the rest of the service.

Love this place!!!! Delicious food , great prices and friendly waiters and beautiful decor .Don't leave without trying the Sangria i highly recommed .Its the best sangria i've ever had !
