Non-Spanish cuisine is something of a rarity in Sevilla, but within its first year of opening Mano de Santo had acquired a reputation as a decent Mexican restaurant. The space itself has a modern, playful décor with pastel shades, offset by bright red bench-style seating, and a terrace outside on the busy Alameda. It’s a fun ambiance, and the service is good too, casual and friendly.

The food was what you might expect in a “typical” Mexican restaurant in Spain; plenty of tacos, quesadillas and enchaladas, all tasty enough, but a bit samey and somewhat lacking in authentic spiciness as an adaptation to local preferences. Also, the choice of crumbled Edam cheese on pretty much everything seemed odd. You can find Mexican beers (which I actually rather like) and Spanish craft beers, as well a good range of well-priced tequila and mezcal based cocktails. Loved the margarita! Overall okay, but I’d be more inclined to go back for the cocktails than the food.

Petit Corner is the sister bar of the very successful (and personal favourite) Petit Comite next door. But despite a similar menu (the two share a kitchen), the “corner” is more of a bar, and less like a restaurant. Formerly a rather run down tasca, the premises have been fully renovated with lots of light coloured wooden shelves, with books as well as the obligatory wines and spirits, and a new bar (though the original till and scales are now part of the décor).

It’s quite small, with just five tables and three shelf/tables (don’t know how else to describe them), so quite cosy. Excellent service from a young professional staff, and above all, really great food. The tapas menu is the same as its “big sister” (they share a kitchen) with an “inventive traditional” style. Try the jamón, duck and foie roll, the cecina (air-cured beef), and the pluma Ibérica (pork shoulder cut) – you won’t be disappointed. And the croquetas are superb, which is not something I say very often. Excellent cocktail menu for either the sobremesa or a nightcap.

With something of a trendy cum hippy ambiance, La Cacharrería fits right into the Calle Regina area, a place of boutiques and art spaces behind the Metropol Parasol. All-day breakfast is served inside at Singer sewing machine tables from a bygone age, or out on the small sidewalk terrace. The breakfast toast menu is actually a bit confusing, but there are plenty of topping options and a nice selection of artisanal breads, as well as yoghurt with fruit and muesli. Love the old Moorish style brick walls with coins balancing on the ledges, and all the antique bric-a-brac hanging everywhere. Also serves cakes and cocktails.
