Updated June 2024<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is where it all started, way back on a spring afternoon in 2007. I spontaneously took some pics of our tapas lunch that day, with my first ever digital camera, and Sevilla Tapas was born. Casa Rom\u00e1n was founded in 1934 by Rom\u00e1n Castro, who took over the business from the original abacer\u00eda which had been at that location since 1870. Still family run, Casa Rom\u00e1n is one of my favourite tapas bars, as it has been for over thirty years now. I have so many memories tied up with both the people and the place, it always feels like home.<\/p>\n

The tapas and setting are very traditional and they serve up some of the best Ib\u00e9rico de Bellota jam\u00f3n and ca\u00f1a de lomo in town. I love the delicious crispy fried bacalao (salt cod), and the grilled mushrooms filled with jam\u00f3n and salsa verde are another must have. Also be sure to try the MEAT – different cuts of Ib\u00e9rico de Bellota pork served in various ways. Great fried fish too. Friendly professional service, a nice selection of wines by the glass and, although situated in a touristy area, you\u2019ll still find plenty of locals here.<\/p>\n

The terrace has small “hobbit” tables running along the front of the bar, as well as an ample dining area in the square. Views from the terrace are gorgeous … charming street scenes, the lovely Hospital de los Venerables,\u00a0 as well as a beautiful square full of orange trees. Heavenly when the azahar<\/em> is in blossom.<\/p>\n
