So there I was watching Queer Eye and suddenly up popped the mini-Giralda in Kansas City. I’ve heard tell of it but had never seen it before. I used to think it was odd that there was an Avenida Kansas City out by the train station, until I was told it is a sister city with Sevilla and that they even have their own Giralda tower. Cool.

Chef Carlos Mitchell, manager Edmundo Hernández, master wine blender Antonio Flores
The Taberna del Alabardero is presenting their new pairing menu and I was lucky to be invited to the preview today. The food was prepared by chef Carlos Mitchell with wines provided by Bodegas Gonzales Byass, and master wine blender Antonio Flores was on hand to add his special poetic touch to the presentation.
Food was delicious, wines were lovely and at 35 euros (five courses including wines!), this tasting menu can’t be beat. If you’re in Sevilla be sure to check it out from March 20th to April 14th.

Los Corales has a long history in Sevilla, having started life as a small family run tapas bar off Calle Sierpes from 1932 to 1953. In 2010 Grupo La Raza decided to bring the essence of Los Corales back to Sevilla with this new location at the edge of Plaza Salvador. I was invited to try some dishes on the new menu by executive chef Antonio Bort, and – as you can see – it was a spectacular lunch.
