Restaurante Manzil

Extraordinary gastronomic experience. I would highly recommend, also with the wine pairing to discover the regional wines. The food is delicious and carefully prepared. All dishes are full of flavors and contrasts that align perfectly. We took the short menu because we were not very hungry, but would definitely go back to taste the longer version. Service was kind. They also provided with great insight on the regional wines.

I had a disappointing experience at what is supposed to be a fine dining Michelin guide restaurant. Despite the high ratings and steep price (€90 + €45 for wine pairing), the 4+ hour dinner didn’t meet expectations. The appetizers lacked flavor and quality: - The beef brioche was bland. - The cod fritter was average and unremarkable. - The gazpacho cracker tasted store-bought. - The orange-infused butter’s flavor was barely noticeable. - The langoustine salad was fine, but nothing special. A few dishes were better: - The oyster paired nicely with the seasoning (though the Iberian jowl felt overcooked and tasted like char siu) - The scallops, cod tripe, and red mullet were the standouts. - The Iberian tenderloin was flavorful. However, there were some mismatches: - The squid with beef stew didn’t match well with the source and was quite salty - While the duck was well-prepared, it didn’t pair well with the charred rice, which was too bitter. - Surprisingly, none of the wines complemented the dishes well. The dessert course also disappointed: - There was a 30-minute wait after the main dishes, which felt excessive. - The lemon dessert was average, and the chocolate dessert was passable. - The petit fours were ordinary and didn’t live up to fine dining expectations. Overall, I’d rate the food 3/5, but the slow service brought the overall experience down to 2/5. The staff was friendly, but the significant delays between courses extended the meal unnecessarily. No gestures were made to mitigate the wait, which is something you’d expect at this price point. For the cost, it didn’t feel worth it. I have had better tasting menu at half the price

El Manzil in Sevilla was a phenomenal experience in every way—from the food to the service to the atmosphere. This is a place that truly shouldn't be missed! The attention to detail is evident in the use of locally sourced, fresh ingredients, and the personalized experience starts with a round at the bar alongside the chef, making it feel bespoke and intimate. The mural on the wall that tells the chef's story adds a beautiful touch, and the flamenco Sevillana playing while you dine enhances the atmosphere. If I had to pick a favorite dish, it would be the bacalao, tartare, and solomillo. And the chocolate dessert? Absolutely heavenly. Highly recommend for a memorable and unique dining experience!

Loved my meal! The dishes were well prepared and well presented. The wine pairing was a bit overpowering for some dishes, but this was made up for by the wonderful staff. I really enjoyed having my amuse bouche at the counter of the kitchen. Very welcoming and semi casual.

We were really excited to come after reading the positive reviews, but we were quite disappointed. Most courses were way too salty, and the portions of some courses were not quite balanced. In addition, we had to wait more than half an hour between several courses. The desserts were tasty, but we were too tired to enjoy them since it was past 11pm at that point. Finally, the server often felt condescending and made unwelcoming expressions when we asked for additional tea. In our opinion, this restaurant is far from earning a Michelin star.

We were able to enjoy a wonderful experience at Manzil. It was a Thursday early afternoon and we had wonderful service and the food was on point. All of the dishes were beautifully prepared and pleasing to the eye, and then there were some amazing flavor profiles that the team knocked out of the park. We enjoyed the long menu and the duck and rice dish is one we will talk about for years to come. The rice that served as the base for this dish was like the best bit of the rice that sticks to the bottom in a paella. The horseradish mayo complemented the richness of the duck and the complexity of the rice. The buñuelo of cod was also an experience to remember. The soft and slightly sweet breading gave way to he most wonderful creamy, slightly fishy, almost full stew in your mouth flavor! The experience felt like it was over too quick but the feeling lingered. The last dish to note is the first of the dessert course. I wasn't sure what to expect with apple, quince and cheese, but oh my! The goat's cheese mousse over the applesauce was so delicate, perfectly sweet, and not at all overpowering in its goat cheese flavor. Then, the little sweetened puff pastry square with quince preserve that was not too sweet, but delicately balanced. To finish it off, there are these beautifully acidic apple cubes that bring the absolute perfect, epic balance to this dish. I could have just eaten 10 courses of that and been content! This restaurant definately deserves the recognition that it is getting.

It was our anniversary and we were looking for a special place. Manzil amazed us! Nicely decorated dishes, rich flavors, attentive and friendly staff. Even the chef himself took time to come to our table and have a conversation with us. Manzil made our special night much more memorable. Thank you and best of luck!

A true gem in Sevilla. What was truly special about MANZIL was the service and attention to detail. The restaurant is the whole package. Food flavors are creatively blended together to showcase modern Spanish cooking techniques.
