I don’t like doing “best of” lists because what does that mean anyhow? “Best” according to whom and by what criteria? In the end it’s just a subjective opinion. However, every year I look back on the new arrivals in Sevilla and there are always a few that I think have really made a difference. So I would like to welcome these three places, all new for 2014, all unique and special in their own way. Thanks for making Sevilla a more dynamic and delicious place.
β¨ Augurio – March 2024
Fresh and fabulous, a charming minimalist space with excellent service, thoughtful beautifully presented food and terrific wines. Let Carmen and Lorena and their lovely team take care of you.

β¨ La Carmela – June 2024
Ivantxu expands on his love for meticulous yet still familiar expressions of how much he just enjoys cooking in this new space, adjacent to his original Los Remedios restaurant. Ivan will always surprise and delight you, especially with that wine list.

β¨ Beirutina – October 2024
You feel the love as soon as you walk into this family run Lebanese brunch-lunch spot and are seduced by all those warm kitchen aromas. Fourat makes you feel at home in her hip modernist space which includes a lovely patio with a century old olive tree.

Flatmate Peter taking his brand new laptop for a test drive with Luna and Morcilla along for the ride π πββ¬ π

This afternoon Peter was on his regular family zoom chat when his laptop conked out. And when he tried to reboot he got the same scary blue screen HEY YOUR BATTERY IS FUCKED message I was getting on BoquerΓ³n last summer, which prompted me to purchase Galga before I lost everything. Frankly Peter’s Silver was getting on, over six years old, and had been acting up for some time. And so what the hell, we went shopping.
Say hello to Shadowfax… a sleek Lenovo model that has everything and more to suit Peter’s requirements. And it was on sale! Bonus. When I saw it I thought of this name immediately but just said to Peter he should name it before we set it up at home later. Then over a post-purchase celebratory glass of cava he said… how about Shadowfax? Guess it was meant to be.
Anyhow, Shadowfax is now all set up and ready for Peter to fire up in the morning. Long may he run.
