In a word: spectacular. That’s the first impression when you cross the threshhold into the new Restaurante Cuna 2, the latest addition to the Baco Group. Housed in a four-story mansion that was designed by the great Ánibal Gonzalez and has been beautifully restored, it feels like you are eating inside a work of art. A cool mix of old world beauty and ultra modern designer furniture creates a uniquely stylish ambience. There are three bars on the main floor and several dining rooms on the first and second floors, which can also be booked for private events. But the jewel is the fabulous rooftop bar with magnificent its views, which is open from 4pm on.

The dining rooms are still not open to the public, but the downstairs bars and rooftop terrace are now open seven days a week.

Gastrosol is a unique space in Sevilla atop the Metropol Parasol (aka Las Setas), with 55 metres of bar and 1100 metres of floor to ceiling windows overlooking the city. What is also unique is the concept – a bit like a gourmet food hall with six different bars forming the hub of the space with shared seating, both inside and out. You order your food at the bars, paying as you go, which means you can “mix and match” if, for example, you’d prefer to have the tapas from one place and wine from another. There are also two large salon areas that will mostly be used for private events or, if the bar seating area gets too crowded, as an overflow section.

There are three tapas bars: Puerto Delicia Tapas, 6 Sentidos (run by Abantal & the Flores brothers) and a third that will change every six months, so there will always be something new on offer. At Alicantina Mar you can get seafood and fried fish and the abacería will soon be open for charcuterie. There is also a café/bar which, along with Puerto Delicia and the marisquería, are run by Restaurante Puerto Delicia.

Residents of Sevilla can access GastroSol free of charge, non-residents have to pay the 1.20€ fee to take the lift to the top of the Metropol Parasol (which is then deducted from your bill at Gastrosol). Once up it’s a fabulous spot to stop for a drink and a snack and enjoy some of the best views in Sevilla.

The newest tapas bar on trendy and touristy Mateos Gago is also one of its best. Gago 6 opened just before Semana Santa and is still a little rough around the edges, but the food is great and I’ve never tasted better fried boquerones. Owners Maria Paz and Elena are still putting the finishing touches on the wine tasting section of the bar where you will be able to buy a “wine card” that will allow you to choose a sample or copa of the weekly selections at the serve-yourself wine dispenser. There are also plans for live jazz in the small alcove of the wine bar. But for now just go and enjoy the excellent food, either in the cool pale green dining area or outside on the sidewalk terrace.

This terrific new tapas bar (opened in November) focuses on market-fresh traditional dishes with a few surprises. The “menu” is a chalkboard that is constantly changing and the food is truly fabulous. Open at 8am and not closing until the wee hours, it’s a real neighbourhood place where you can stop for breakfast, tapas or late night cocktails. Look for a new abacería serving quality jamón & queso opening next door in time for Christmas.
