Ispal

Parque de María Luisa & South of Centre


Improbably located in the Prado de San Sebastián bus station, this celeb haunt flies the flag for regional Andalucian cuisine. Imaginative and impeccably presented tasting menus take diners on a culinary tour of Seville and province, featuring olives, torrijas (Spanish-style French toast) with orange blossom, sea bass from Isla Mayor, and suckling pig. Wines are all from Andalucía too.
