A welcome addition to the centre of Sevilla, La Cayetana Bistó Andalú takes us back to simpler times (and menus). The bar is cosy, with, including comfy low tables in the main dining room, with a few more seats in front of the bar. Owner and chef Luis Valpuesta has elevated Andalusian classics with close attention to quality and presentation. Aside from the short menu there are also daily specials on the chalkboard. I’ve known Luis since he started with Petit Comité many years ago, and so I knew already that the service at this new venture would be impeccable. There seems to be a bit of a trend away from the whole “gastrobar” scene, with new places embracing the traditional but then taking things up a few notches without losing the integrity of the dishes. It’s a trend I welcome wholeheartedly.
The menu at La Cayetana is basically divided into cold dishes, hot dishes (including fab fritos) and a selection of top notch charcuterie and conserves. The cod liver on toast was a delicious blast from the past, the meatballs full of great texture and flavour, and the whole fried squid with black garlic alioli, a special that day, was outstanding. I even liked the ensaladilla, which is not something I say often. And an excellent godello, O Luar do Sil, was terrific value.
