Unexpectedly great food! We had a pre-assembled tapas plate with smoked salmon tartar, croquettes, shrimp covered with ham, rice with curry and fried squid. Absolutely loved the shrimp cover with ham and the rice curry but the fried squid and salmon tartar weren't special. The ambiance of the place is nice with a beautiful square. The waitress was nice but she had to cover the whole terrace so you had to wait a bit

Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. Reasonably priced. We got the Tapas especiales. Must try the bacon wrapped squid with a Radler to wash it down.

Returned in 2022, the high quality is still there: tartar salmon, papas bravas, bastones, tortilla con salsa, queso de cabra, pollo curry: delighfull. //Seville has many many places to eat. Then it's very to have such a nice quality tapasbar as 'Carmela' in front of a quality hotel. Although the prices of the tapas are slightly higher then the average tapasbar, the quality of the tapas is definitely there. So there is a reason why you pay a little bit more. For me, then the obvious thing to do was to have three times my tapas at Carmen in two days time. The menu offers some very good local specialalities, ask the staff for the explaination.

Excellent food and drink and price. Truly high end flavor for a very low price. Excellent Greek salad, spicy potatoes, curry chicken, skewered prawns, and chocolate cake for dessert. Including wine, beer, dessert, and coffee our tab was €33. Elsewhere would be much much higher price. True gem!

El bar esta cerca del hotel y probamos la comida.Dos raciones pollo carbonara,el pollo estaba bueno pero la salsa no era carbonara,era harina frita con leche o nata.El alioli esta fantastico,muy delisioso!

Solo pedí un par de cervezas y una tapita de lágrimas de pollo. La cerveza es de esa que sirven por la zona, pero por 2€ te ponen un buen vaso de ella. Las lágrimas están bastante buenas, jugositas con un rebozado crujiente algo especiado y una salsa que lleva mayonesa y mostaza. Los camareros han sido muy amables.

No le doy cinco estrellas por la atencion del camarero, por lo demás todo genial. La comida se sirvió bastante rápido. Calidad precio bien, para donde se ubica el bar y las cantidades que trae el plato. Pedimos cuatro tapas (croquetas de jamón, flamenquín, pisto y carne a la antigua). Tengo que destacar lo buena que estaba la salsa mojo picón y las papas. Además la tarta de chocolate estaba buenísima, muy recomendable. Todo eso más dos bebidas por 25€

Comida buena pero un poco escasa, los camareros muy majos, una terraza muy chula pero en el interior solo hay tres mesitas

Comida muy bien. Nos encantaron las papas de la casa. Muy bien hechas. Pedimos varios platos y todos buenísimos. El bar algo pequeño, pero con gran terraza. El baño, era diminuto. Hay que retorcerse para lavarse las manos. El Servicio, bien. Muy amables y simpáticos. Pequeño despiste, no nos limpiaron la mesa antes de servirnos y estaba sucia.

Fun little place for lunch. The salmon tartare with Avacado was the star of the meal. The sangria is very good and the people watching on a well travelled corner was fun. My wife had a good curried chicken with rice and I had a really good Greek salad. Would definitely come back.

I do want to note that the atmosphere was different between sitting inside or outside. One is not necessarily better or worse, just different. We had the spicy potatoes, which were very good! For food, we had the pollo teriyaki, and the montadito. Food wasn't particularly memorable, but a subtle place we stopped by after a long walk through the alcazar. The pollo teriyaki was good. But the potatoes are a must!

At first we did not expect to go to this restaurant, however we wanted to eat outside so we took our chances. We were very surprised because the food was very good and staf were very friendly. I recommend this place to eat. And I strongly recomend to go to La Carboneria after to see and listen some flamenco which is very close to Bar Carmela.

Buen lugar para comer sin morir en el intento. Está en un lugar más o menos céntrico y para lo que hay alrededor no es caro. No te sorprende pero puedes comer y seguir visitando el barrio. La comida está buena pero como digo no es de los sitios que dices de volver.

El concepto de este bar no está mal, pero necesita mejorar....para un extranjero puede que le lleve la experiencia, pero para los nacionales y sobre todo los locales, se queda un poco corto. La ubicación excepcional, ya que se encuentra en una placita pequeña en un barrio tranquilo. Servicio muy tranquilo, tirando a servicio caserillo y poco profesional....vimos gente que se levantó y se fue , ya que no los atendía... La comida en general correcta, aunque no te va ha sorprender.

La comida genial, pero abundante solo según lo que pidas; precio estándar pese a todo. Ahora bien, es de bochorno cobrar 1,30€ de pan y picos por persona por esto. Un servicio que no solicitas, pero que lo añade igualmente.

The waiterss are so kind. But foods are not so tasty. Paella is not tasty. Potatos soo so

This café was right opposite the hotel casa Juderia where I was staying for a few nights. I walked over to it 2 mornings to have breakfast. The waiter was very attentive and I was served quickly. Unfortunately I walked over yesterday afternoon to get a cafe con leche and water and sat at one of the tables around the corner. I sat on my own for 5 minutes and thought it was best to show the waitress I was there. I was polite and she acknowledged where I was sitting but she appeared to be annoyed that I’d grabbed her attention. I sat there for at least 10 minutes without her serving me so I moved to a table in front of the serving area. The waitress and waiter continued to ignore me, clearing tables around me without acknowledging me. After another 10 minutes sitting there alone and feeling uncomfortable the waitress finally took my order. I spoke politely to her inspire of my frustration and in Spanish. My point is that the service and attitude of the staff was terrible. Please understand that it is rude to be dismissed as a single lady in a strange city especially as the waiter recognised me from the breakfast when I’d been there.

Lugar con aparente encanto pero carente de calidad. Nos sentamos a tomar un vermut, y lo sirvieron con canela (toque inapropiado para un Yriarte peleón). La carta, limitada, mostraba un sospechoso estándar turístico, confirmado al probar las patatas bravas y el tataki. El servicio amable, y la localización frente a Santa María la Blanca. Un lugar para alimentarse, pero sin especial interés.

The food we were served at this bar tonight was easily the most uninteresting we have had since arriving in Spain. It was flavourless and unappealing. Chicken carbonara was chicken pieces with a bland sauce served on potato crisps. The hamburger arrived with some mustard sauce, which gave it a modicum of flavour, and more potato crisps. Over-priced and dull. Seville deserves better than this.

Comes across as a tourist trap. Food was okay at best, but way too expensive. Ordered the ratatouille with fried egg, eggplant tempura, tortilla with whisky sauce, black rice with squids and pork sirloin. The tortilla with whisky sauce was very salty and greasy. Also gave us just one slice of bread (there were two of us) but charged us 1 euro each for bread service.

Andrew Davis

Was rather disappointed by the tapas here. The tortilla with whisky sauce was rather greasy and salty. The montaditos were rather bland as well. The service was slow and the environment is noisy.

Entramos a este bar con la idea de tomar algo rápido y relajado, pero la sorpresa llegó con la cuenta: dos cervezas, 10 euros. Sí, cinco euros por cada caña. Increíble. Al mirar alrededor, las caras de otros clientes reflejaban el mismo estupor. Algunos revisaban el ticket como si hubiera un error. Spoiler: no lo había. Simplemente es carísimo sin justificación. El sitio no ofrece nada fuera de lo común como para cobrar esos precios: ni servicio excepcional, ni vistas especiales, ni ambiente exclusivo. Solo un bar más, pero con tarifas dignas de una terraza en plena Gran Vía de Madrid... y aún así, con menos sentido. Una verdadera decepción. En una ciudad como Sevilla, donde hay cientos de bares con precios justos y buen trato, este lugar es un ejemplo de lo que

La verdad es que me decepcionó. Pedí una tapa de paella que seguramente recién hecha estaría muy rica pero cuando a mi me la sirvieron estaba incomible. El arroz pasadísimo, quien no haya comido arroz en su vida a lo mejor se lo hubiera comido pero en mi caso, no es así. A los extranjeros se la colaréis cosa que me parece fatal pero a alguien que sabe apreciar una buena gastronomía no creo. Mejor no servir los restos como consejo. A pesar de mi quejo no dudaron en cobrármelo aún no habiéndomelo comido. Evidentemente, no volveré.

Quizás les sea fácil engañar a los extranjeros, pero que no pretendan que gente de Sevilla comulgue con esto. Llamar torrija a un pellizco ridículo de pan duro incomible 6'50€ es un robo por muy cerca de la catedral que estéis. Ya no es el precio, es que es vergonzoso poner eso en un plato.

Me parece excesivo 5.20€ por una cerveza en la terraza… aceitunas pagadas aparte… Salen un par de cervezas con unas aceitunas por 11,70€. Sinceramente, una barbaridad. No sé si es porque ya sólo se piensa en los turistas…

Lo más caro de Sevilla . Dos cañas 11 euros. No volveremos en todo el año ni mis compañeros de universidad. Mucho mejor y más barato junto a la Giralda

Tried to pay for drinks for 15 minutes while being sent back and forth by waiter and waitress. Yes, you can pay she kept saying while staring into space. Nonsense place.

James Woods

Ordered a coffee latte got americano. Guy would not accept euro with slight tear. So much arrogance shown. Paid by card, walked out threw coffee in rubbish. Avoid, plenty of other places nearby.

Christian Gonzalez

Avoid this place at all costs. As a local, it’s incredibly disappointing to see how this establishment takes advantage of tourists by overcharging for breakfast combos. I witnessed firsthand how prices are misleading, and I can only imagine how many visitors leave feeling frustrated or scammed. Shame on the owner! This kind of practice not only harms customers but also puts unnecessary pressure on the staff, who are left to deal with unhappy guests. It reflects poorly on the hospitality of Seville and leaves a stain on the experience we should be proud to offer. I sincerely hope the owner sees this and takes immediate steps to change things. Seville deserves better.

Daniela Toader

Very poor service and food. Asked if they can open up the awning and was told they will if they find the time, in the end we had to open it ourselves. Received moldy bread and the staff did not even apologize for it.
