chef Jorge Manfredi with Pedro Sánchez-Cuerda, director of Grupo La Raza

Enamórate de Sevilla (Fall In Love with Sevilla) is the name of the latest tasting menu being offered at Ispal (Grupo La Raza) created by their new chef Jorge Manfredi. I had been invited to try the original tasting menu when Ispal first opened in 2018 and while they have kept about 30% of the previous chef’s menu, the rest is new by Manfredi. Also new is a much expanded wine list, which now boasts over 400 Andalusian wines.

It’s a “kilometre 0” menu, with locally sourced products and reinterpreted dishes that are based on traditional Sevilliano recipes, and is divided into four parts: Vamos de Tapeo!, Vámanos a la Feria, Paseo por Sevilla and Desserts. We started off with a vermouth cocktail and had some wonderful wine pairings throughout.

The tasting menu is 59€ per person, 89€ with wine pairing and 109€ with the premium wine pairing. For more information have a look at their website. Photos of the meal below…

room for rent!

I have decided to look for temporary lodgers (a month here, a month there) to help out with the rent while I continue to work on other (hopefully money-making) projects. Ideally it will be for people who are here doing work or research, or mature students. A two-week minimum stay, probably two months maximum. Main requirements are that they are quiet and respectful. Oh, and aren’t allergic to cats.

The apartment is in a great location, very central. Lots of light, and access to a private rooftop. Good WiFi, fully furnished, very comfy. So if you are interested or know of anyone who wants to share a place for awhile, let me know!
