I started my first tapas restaurant in Seville at La Brunilda and couldn't find another restaurant that could beat it! Hence, why I had to come here a second time for my last meal and loved it just as much as the first time! If you come, be sure to get the patatas bravas (it's the best one you can find!) and the beef tenderloin is to die for. Also, the risotto is very well done.
Service is very friendly and fast. You can't go wrong when you come here!! (Arrive before the place opens for lunch or dinner as there's always a line!)
Seriously the best food I've ever eaten. Burrata changed my world. Every dish blew me away. Went there twice in 5 days and I never go anywhere twice!
We arrived at 7:30 to get in the line - by the time bar opened 50 people were in the queue. Wait was worth it brilliant food good wait staff
La Brunilda is a really nice place to eat and discover modern Spanish "cuisine"
With each meal you get an "Explosion de saveurs" We came several times and enjoyed each moment .Even if the staff was very busy , they were so amazing and very careful.Without any hesitation we recommend it !!
One of the best restaurants I have been too. Everything was amazing especially the mushroom risotto. Everything was so delicious that I had lunch there two days in a row. The staff was very friendly and we especially received excellent service from Manuel. He gave us the best recommendations! Will be coming here again when I am in Sevilla!
We had a fantastic meal here..worth the 30 minute wait. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Seville!
Beautiful food and staff were welcoming despite the crowd...we'll worth standing at the bar waiting for a table.
An absolute MUST if you're in Sevilla!
The food was cooked to perfection and it's extremely affordable. I honestly found it funny that my water was more expensive than my sangria.
I'll let my photos do the talking on this one but try as many dishes as you can, especially the duck, beef and iberian pork!

This was by far the best meal that I've had in Spain the entire time we were there. Also disclaimer, this place is nice, but there is no AC so beware in summer time. We were sweating the entire time.
That being said again, the food here was amazing.
We got:
Beetroot Gazpacho - with Goat cheese and black olive powder. Honestly, I've never had anything like this and it was amazing. The only bad bad thing is that now I think I can never go back to regular gazpacho. The beets are perfectly sweet and make the gazpacho have a creamy texture. Amazing.
Cajun Style Chicken with Guacamole - Also very good. Cooked perfectly, tender and there was a large portion of guac. Can't go wrong with this, but not the star of the show.
Scallops with black linguini, green bean and tomato pesto - This was the only thing we got the large version for and thank god we did. The star of the show. The scallops were so tender and soft. The pasta had this amazing buttery flavor and was just the best thing I've eaten in Spain. Definitely get this. But now looking at the menu, might be more worth it to get 3 tapas instead of the large version...
Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Potatoes - A large portion of steak, especially for a tapa size. Steak was cooked to between medium and medium rare and was very juicy.
Salt Cod Fritters - VERY VERY SALTY. Would not get this. While the first was cooked well, this was extremely salty. Only so so dish of the place.
Overall, great place to check out. Hopefully you come in the winter time though when it is cooler and no need for AC. They also give everyone free olives which are very mild and not too salty. Love it!
This could possibly be one of the best deals for food in all of Spain. While La Brunilda is no longer a secret, they do not take reservations so make sure you get here 15 minutes before they open to queue up or you'll be out of luck.
Trust me when I say this, get the Tapas sized portions. They are extremely large and cheap. My favorites of the night were definitely the Burrata salad and the Risotto.
Do not miss this restaurant. This is one of the times that the hype was correct.

Went here and it was amazing! We were lucky and got there right before it opened so we were able to be seated (after the ten different parties ahead of us)... when there's a line you know it's good!
= WHAT WE GOT =
+ fried cod : the sauce was to die for, and the cod came in small ball shaped pieces. It was a bit salty so I don't think I would get it again. Overall, not bad though I wouldn't get it again.
+ Scallop Linguini: okay this was AMAZING. One of the best dishes I've ever had in my life. The linguini was buttery and very soft, the scallop was seared to perfection. GET THE FULL SIZE.
+ Beef with potatoes and thyme: another great dish! I highly recommend it, and it's such a big portion (for the tapas!). The beef was cooked perfectly and the potatoes were seasoned well.
+ Cheese with Jam: my friend said it tasted like Costco cheese, and the cheese slices were cut like subway cheese. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it!
+ beetroot gazpacho: I'm not a fan of gazpacho but even I thought it was delicious! Recommend.
Amazing food. Music, ambiance, service, wine etc. All 5/5.
Definitely get the beetroot gazpacho. We read about it being good on yelp in fact and that was a hit. Foie Gras was excellent. Highly recommend that dish. Chicken was above average. Solid but truth be told as a foodie I've had those flavours and tastes elsewhere. Octopus (pulpo) was probably the most disappointing. Still wasn't terrible but clearly didn't fit into the tier of quality as the other dishes. Frankly a little over cooked. So I debated giving a 4 star. However dessert stole the show. Did the banana sponge cake. All things considered a very solid restaurant. All in cost us 50 euros with a bottle of wine. We found that to be very cheap given the quality.
There will likely be a wait if you go at peak time. It's worth the 20-30 minute wait!

One of the highest rated places near our airbnb! This restaurant lived up to the hype. We got a few items in tapa size and they were all good!
We ordered the following:
Jamon croquettes - The croquettes were delicious. I think they used chicken broth in the filling because it was savory but not too salty.
Grilled squid with herring roe - The squid was only okay but I liked the way it was presented. It came with an egg as well as some large bread crumbs. The herring roe was VERY salty and it overpowered the taste of the squid.
Beef tenderloin - The tenderloin was good but slightly overcooked because that's the way meat tends to be cooked in Spain! We got a few reddish pieces :). The crispy potatoes that came with the beef were perfection. Super crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Foie gras - Last but not least, the foie gras! Loved it! The foie was on the small side but absolutely delicious. I love sweet and savory so this pairing was delightful. The pears were soaked in red wine and the dish also came with small pieces of bread.
All of the items were plated beautifully and very reasonably priced. We spent close to $50 with 4 glasses of wine! Service wasn't great but mostly because it was very difficult to flag them down. This restaurant is SUPER busy so try to get a seat at the bar while you wait for a table.

Excellent little place with non- spanish tapas. Beautifully executed with fresh ingredients and friendly service. We walked in at 10:20pm and got a table for two rather quickly, just lucky. Didn't see anyone waiting but there were folks standing at the bar.
Here is what we ate- we ordered tapas sizes as i am vegetarian and my dinner companion is a meat eater. We both rated it in the same order. I was surprised at how much we liked the good. Nice change after all the bodegas and tapas bars we gave been eating at.
Burrata(v)- highly recommended. Fresh , great balance of flavors.
Mushroom risotto(v)- very good with roasted mushrooms on top and bigger chunks in the risotto. Way better than what I've ever had in the states.
Patatas bravas(v) - good, solid potatoes with the spicy red sauce.
Grilled squid- good. Just felt the other items were better.
Croqutte of the day- was ham. Good not great.
We had ordered way too much and couldn't finish . We got a little box to go.
Would definitely recommend trying this place.

We had a lovely meal at La Azotea earlier today and when we decided to come to La Brunilda for dinner, I was a bit worried that it would not quite measure up. Wow, I was wrong. The two of them in combination possibly made today the best foodie day of my life thus far.
We were very lucky to have booked an Airbnb nearby so we were able to keep an eye out for the line at the restaurant. We heard some chatter at 8:05pm, ~25 min before opening, half of our party went early to line up and we were seated in the first meal service. By the time the restaurant opened, there was a loooooong line.
We were a little too eager at first but thankfully, our waiter told us he was worried that we had ordered too much food. We downgraded the sizes of what we ordered and ended up with:
Risotto (smaller size): I've had some pretty bad risotto recently and this risotto has restored my faith in all other risottos! I'm quickly growing to be a fan of Idiazabal cheese, which gives such a luxurious but almost subtle creamy/buttery flavor. We all took a bite and immediately went "oh my god"!! Get it. You will not regret it.
Croquettes of the day: today they had both Iberian ham and chicken curry. The smaller order comes with 3 pieces- all of which melt in your mouth. Delicious. My sister said that it made all other croquettes fade in comparison- this was also her favorite dish of the entire day.
Warm salad with mixed greens: delicious salad- comes in what appears to be a small bowl but is more than enough to easily feed 3-4. Lovely dressing and varying textures.
Scallops with black linguini (larger size): possibly the least favorite of the group- scallops were cooked well but mom was not a fan of the tomato sauce on top. She said she felt the taste had overwhelmed the scallops. I shared a scallop with my sister, who does not like tomatoes, and in dividing it in half, had incidentally not consumed my scallops with the tomato. Separately, they tasted great. Personally thought there could have been a stronger sauce for the linguini.
Iberian pork shoulder (larger size): my dad had a different cut of Iberian pork last night which was not nearly as successful as the one we had tonight. Moist, tender, still slightly chewy- really good dish.
Foie gras with poached pears: on my top 3 of the day!!! Foie gras was soft and melted upon the tongue. I was unsure about how it would work with the poached pear but both my mom and I were incredibly impressed at how well they paired together. Best of all... we got the small portion for €6!!!
Grilled squid: finally... another dish that was an instant hit with the family. The squid was tender- not chewy at all- and the roe added a burst of saltiness without distracting from the squid. Asked my mom how she would describe the squid: "exquisite".
So... somehow all of that (+1 coke, 3 beers and 1 sangria- sangria is not particularly impressive btw) amounted to €81,50! 100% well worth it.
5/5 would recommend La Brunilda to anyone visiting Seville. Note: not open on Christmas Eve and Christmas.
My recent experience at La Brunilda
Was exquisite.
From the wine to the tapas everything was delicious. One of the best risottos I've ever had, it was creamy, yet not overly rich but very flavorful. The foie gras fish was also delicious as was
The squid. I would definitely come back. Our server was also excellent.
Good food, great menu. Was fully packed when I originally dropped by at lunch time so we came back around 3pm and was seated right away. No outdoor seating available (outdoor is my husband's preference) but inside was comfortable.

This place is straight .
It is the best food I've had in Seville so far.
I got the octopus, scallop, chicken, and beef plates.
Octopus - 5/5
Super tender octopus on top of grilled veggies, with a garlic aioli. What a delight. It melted in my mouth. The veggies made the difference.
Scallop - 4.8/5
The black noodles with scallop was super nice as well. Only reason it loses points is because I don't usually like seafood noodles. If you like vongole pastas, this is a must.
Chicken - 5/5
Chicken with guac and tomatoes. It had a hint of curry taste. Chicken was tender and guac was on point.
Beef - 5/5
Zomg this beef w potato is to dieeee for. I was getting sick of tapas but this place made me love tapas again. The beef is cooked med rare and seasoned to perfection. But the potato is the kicker. Baked but crispy on the outside and luscious on the inside. It was a buttery ball of goodness. Def def def get this.
Im pretty sure everything else would be fire as well but this got me hella full. With a beer and water, this came out to $29,30. Amazing :)

This is a modern fusion tapas place with a younger crowd. It reminded me more of the trendy/fancy gastropubs and restaurants you would see in Toronto on like Dundas west or College st. Wonderful change of pace to the numerous traditional tapas bars we visited during our time in Spain and probably one of the finest and best value meals we had. We came here on day 3 in Seville I think and at this point we were eating like 6 meals a day so we only ordered 3-items to share but they were all fantastic. The duck confit and beetroot gazpacho were standouts - AMAZING dishes. The cod fritters were very good too. Very good value too. A meal in a restaurant like this with a couple drinks each would easily cost 2-3x this in Toronto even with the currency exchange.
We probably visited 40+ tapas bars/restaurants in 9 days in Spain and this was a top 5 or top 3 experience. If you read any of my other reviews don't be turned off by the fact that I'm giving everything a 4 or 5 stars... I'm only reviewing the highlights!
Came for dinner on our first day in Sevilla. We ordered the Zarada red wine (via recommendation) to go with our Barrata salad, octopus, and tenderloin. My gosh, this is possibly one of the best eateries in town. The salad alone is enough to make me come back. I really enjoyed all our dishes. Make sure to come early because they do not give reservations and there is a wait.
I had made a note months ago to try La Brunilda when we came to Seville. I can't remember if I found the recommendation on Yelp or elsewhere but I was certainly pleased I wrote it down. We showed up before opening and quickly a line of 50 people formed behind us. We were all welcomed in to select our seating when the restaurant opened at 8:30 pm. My husband and I ordered 5 tapas dishes: Burrata Salad, Daily Croquettes, and three seafood selections, the Squid, the Scallop, and the Octopus. If I was rating this place on those dishes alone, I would have given a 4/5 because the squid dish did not hit the mark. Two small pieces of squid over a bread, ham, and egg salad. Just did not go together. However everything else was absolutely amazing. Our dessert, as well as the service we received, definitely deserve the 5th star here.
Super cute place with amazing food! The bf and I came here for lunch and the place was packed. We had the burrata, duck, cod, and tenderloin. All of them so delicious! I loved that it was just the right amount of food to feel satisfied but not overly full. Highly recommend!
Very young & energetic crowd in a somewhat back alley street, this is a place to seek out. We lucked out and got the last table for lunch (around 2:45 or so). It was packed the entire time we were there with people waiting at the bar for tables to open. We can now see why.
We had 4 of the best Tapas of our trip here. I would say pick anything and you won't go wrong. We had Duck Confit - Scallop - Gorgonzola & Nut Croquets and as recommended by our server the Asparagus & Mushroom Risotto. We got the small Tapas size but all can be ordered in the larger size.
With 4 beers the bill came to around $29 US. We're thinking of going to their sister restaurant if we're back in that neighborhood
Cute little tapas bar in a "hidden" alley. The burrata was Aaaaaamazing and the beef tenderloin (solomillo) just melted in your mouth. The duck confit was the best duck I've had in years. Friendly staff but be warned they close the kitchen at 4pm but probably open later.

It seems like the trend in Seville is New Spanish food, similar to New American food. La Brunilda is one of those places that elevate dishes with different flavors that all work well together, and of course at a pricier point than your local tapas places.
We tried to come here twice, and finally made it on our third attempt by standing at the bar!
If you want to come for dinner, definitely come EARLY. We got there around 8:30pm one night and they didn't have any more tables for the rest of the night!
The day we were leaving, we decided to try once more before they closed for lunch and were able to snag a spot at the bar.
Since we weren't planning on eating here and already had a full lunch, we only got the grilled octopus and the burrata.
Both dishes were AMAZING!!
The grilled octopus was cooked PERFECTLY. I could eat this all day
The burrata was covered in a pesto sauce, and it went soo well with the complimentary bread they give you.
If only we could have tried more dishes, but our stomachs couldn't handle it.
I'm just glad we were able to try this gem during our stay.
Amazing! We ordered the Risotto, Duck Confit, Brava potatoes, and Tendorloin (all tapas). My husband and I shared, portions were decent and we were full. Overall excellent meal (all dishes were mindblowing and delicious) for under 23 euros. If I were to order this in San Francisco it would've cost me $100 plus. Wish I could take this restaurant home with me.

A definite tapas gem. And when I say tapas, I don't mean small plates.
We got a babysitter (y'all don't know me, but we brought our 7 month old to Spain and we've never had a babysitter ever, mostly because my husband 100% thinks someone will kidnap him and harvest his organs, or just keep him since he's so freakin' cute), but our air b&B host offered up her sister, so voila.
We arrived around 8:10 and the line was already probably about 30 people deep. When they opened at 8:30 we were one of the last tables to be seated in the first round.
We went with a bottle of wine (and some sangria, who are we kidding) and about 5 tapas and it was filling! The tapas price for each dish (they also have a fuller meal price), I was expecting small portions, but oh no! The salad with beet root was fantastic along with the gorgonzola croquettes. The cod fritters needed more of a cod taste, and the scallop in the cauliflower mash wasn't the most flavorful. The bream was delicious and my husband loved the foie gras (i'm not a huge fan, although my bite of it was solid).
5 hearty tapas (and i'm not talking about patatas bravas here), a bottle of wine and 2 sangria and 1 dessert (the fried brioche which was also really good) was about $50 euros. DAMN!!!!
Although, nothing screamed to me eat me again minus the salad and the gorgonzola croquettes, everything was fresh and well done.
One of the better meals we've had in Spain (which isn't saying much because we haven't really been eating much schlepping a 7 month old around). A definite win, although I don't know if I'd wait 2 hours for it.
Es la primera vez que voy y sin duda es un 10/10. La comida está buenísima (brutal el postre de migas de chocolate), cantidades razonables (pedimos todo en tapas), precio normal, asequible, y el trato inmejorable. A destacar la camarera que nos atendió, no sé su nombre pero tiene el pelo rizado y está en la barra, se ha interesado por nuestra comodidad e incluso ha estado hablando con nosotros.
Pd: reservad o id con mucha antelación!!
Me atrevería a decir que es el mejor restaurante al que fui en Sevilla, ambiente agradable y comida realmente deliciosa!!! Me encanta la idea que prácticamente todos los platos están disponibles en porción de tapa o porción de comida principal, siento que te permite poder probar todo lo que te apetezca realmente.
Me llamó mucho la atención su carta en formato digital, el diseño es genial! Precios muy económicos para la alta calidad que se ofrece.
El servicio muy profesional. Gran trabajo!!
Este fue mi restaurante favorito de Sevilla. Hay que reservar antes o te sientan en la barra. Todos s los platillos me gustaron pero el salmorejo de betabel está increíble.
Kleiner Laden mit modernen aber wirklich sehr leckeren tapas.
Leider keine außen Gastro.Sehr hübsch eingerichtet. Die Karte hab es digital, mit Bildern zu den jeweiligen Speisen und auch auf englisch, was sehr hilfreich war.

Pequeña tienda con tapas modernas pero muy sabrosas.
Lamentablemente no hay catering exterior. Muy bien decorado. Tengo el menú en formato digital, con fotografías de los respectivos platos y también en inglés, lo cual fue de gran ayuda.
Lugar, muy acogedor y tranquilo para poder disfrutar mucho de la comida. La comida es exquisita, se nota que la hacen con mucho cariño. Cada cosa que nos pedíamos nos sorprendía aún más porque incluso algo tan común como el pollo al cajun te lo comes ahí con un toque especial y único.
De todo lo que pedíamos siempre nos quedábamos con la sensación de querer mucho más de eso mismo incluso llegamos a repetir de alguno que otro. Fuimos seis chicas a cenar, donde no es nada caro para la calidad y cantidad que comimos incluso bebiendo vino. La verdad que hemos salido enamoradas de Brunilda tapas. Gracias por todo
Espectacular! Hemos estado en Sevilla 5 días y repetimos dos veces.. sin duda la mejor experiencia de nuestra permanencia:)
Hemos comido el atún, el salmón, la ensalada de pollo, las croquetas, el pulpo, básicamente todo el menú, y todo perfecto! Volveremos pronto
Perfecto lugar para comer o cenar con platos elaborados y de calidad. Destaca por su rapidez para sacar la comida y la atención de su personal. Recomendable 100%.
Kleine Tapasbar mit hervorragendem Essen und sehr freundlicher Bedienung. Würden wir jederzeit wieder besuchen.

Pequeño bar de tapas con excelente comida y servicio muy amable. Volveríamos a visitarlo en cualquier momento.
Restaurante ubicado en una zona de lo más céntrica, de poco tránsito pero cuando vas te das cuenta porque hay cola esperando la apertura. Es recomendable reservar mesa, porque no es muy grande y se llena con facilidad. La comida riquísima, pedimos medias raciones para poder probar más platos. Empezamos por un clásico las patatas bravas con bacon, riquísimas, pedimos también el wok de verduras con solomillo con una salsa de textura superior, la parrillada de pulpo también tenía un sabor a mar muy potente, y por supuesto unas croquetas de la casa que ese día eran de jamón, con una bechamel súper cremosa. Terminamos con un postre, haciendo un esfuerzo, y elegimos las migas de chocolate, rebañamos el plato. El total con bebida y café poco más de 25€ por persona. Muy recomendable. El servicio de 10
Fuimos a cenar y la comida estaba fantástica, sobre todo la hamburguesa de ternera. Nos atendió Anabel, muy simpática y servicial. 10/10
