What began as a vegan takeaway shop is now a full-on organic vegan restaurant. Owner Paula Benítez moved to larger premises in 2023 (just north of the Feria Market) and also expanded the seasonal menu. The bright corner restaurant is divided into three areas: bar, high tables and the dining room, with a capacity for about 40 diners. Although the minimalist decor is fresh and attractive, we felt it could use a little help with the acoustics. Anyhow, after seeing rave reviews from a couple of decidedly meat-loving food writers I decided it was time to try it out.

The menu is short (13 dishes and 3 desserts) with a selection of tapas and larger plates, and there is usually a special of the day. The (very) short wine list features organic natural wines and there is also a nice selection non-alcoholic options. Favourite dishes were the pochas with jerusalem artichoke & sumac and the leek stroganoff. We were intrigued by the pears in curry sauce dessert but were offered a kiwi substitution instead, which didn’t really seem to work. But overall it was a pleasant meal and I would certainly recommend it to vegetarians, and especially vegans, who don’t get a lot of choice in Sevilla.

What a treat it was to NOT eat tapas for a change! Yes, I actually said that. This (mostly vegetarian) feast was enjoyed at Fatouch, Sevilla’s newest (only?) Lebanese restaurant. My first visit there I met up with my Beirutí friend Fourat, who of course knows restaurant owner Anas Honeiny, and she proceeded to order. Another treat for me! I didn’t have to do anything but sit back and enjoy. Since then I have been back a few times and it’s always a treat.

The rustic-chic hipster décor has been meticulously designed by Anas, and is still a bit of a work in progress. Love the long low green marble bar where you can comfortably sit and watch the “show” as the food is prepared in front of you. There is also a charming inside-outside dining area in the entrance as well as a few tables on the the side walk terrace.

On their Instagram account, Fatouch promises a culinary trip to the heart of Beirut without leaving Sevilla. All I can say is that I enjoyed every bite and was thrilled to finally have proper falafel again (the best I’ve encountered since I lived in Toronto). And so much freshness. Fresh herbs, pickles and olives, and assorted veggies accompanied everything. Service is great, attentive and knowledgeable, and there is also a good selection of wines and craft beer. If you’re not sure what to order you can ask for their tasting menu and have a bit of everything.

We enjoyed our falafels though felt they could have been a bit lighter and more flavourful. Likewise the sauces and salad seemed a bit uninspired, but it was all cheerfully served with a decent wine (and then later a taste of a very special manzanilla called Criaito) and we ended up warming to both the place and the people.
