UPDATE: Although no longer with us, I leave this review of Sahumo here as a hommage to one of the loveliest food experiences – and one of the loveliest chefs – I have come across in Sevilla. Hoping that chef Dario will be back with us again.

Sahumo is the first person singular of the Spanish verb sahumar – to scent with smoke. You notice this lovely light smoky fragrance as you walk into the first dining area, which then opens onto a second, and then a third that faces the open kitchen which houses the wood-burning grill. After starting off as a restaurant in 2015, followed by a brief sojourn into the world of tapas, classically trained chef Dario Dominguez has returned to his culinary roots.

These days Sahumo now offers large plates for sharing and, although the menu isn’t extensive, it does cover a lot of bases. There are cold and hot starters, rice dishes, a couple of fish main courses and then… MEAT. Several fabulous meat options including Ibérico pork, duck breast and Galician beef. I have to say I am both charmed and impressed by Sahumo. Excellent service and wine list too. Check it out.
