Recommended by our landlord who is a local, we went to Contendor the first night we arrived at Seville and staightaway fell in love with it. The place is small, decor is quirky but beautiful and tasteful. The owner and staff and the most friendly people we have ever met from a restaurant. We were slightly nervous when we entered,... More

This was our favorite restaurant in our 12-day trip to Andalusia and that’s saying something as we ate in some great places. It was so good we went back a second time, which we never do on a trip. The care and attention to cooking creatively with fresh, seasonal ingredients with nothing pre-prepared showed in the results. As a couple... More

Beautiful quirky restaurant. We went yesterday, may 2nd, and the place was full. Booking essential because they were turning people away. The food was fabulous but as other reviewers have said, the menu changes daily so there is no point in recommending . We had the crispy rice with duck which was wonderful. We shared starters as the portions are... More

The welcome was as it should be. A little mix up with the name of the reservation but the host realized the phone numbers matched. He never made us uncomfortable and were shown to our waiting table. The decor is spartan, modern with a view to the kitchen. Young staff and mostly upscale locals. Cocktails were ordered and arrived. The... More

The sign outside says Contenedor Slow Food... we aren't all that aware of the 'slow food' movement, however in this case it means great cuisine and friendly staff. This is a small restaurant with an open kitchen, funky artwork, and a bit of kitsch... Think Williamsburg, Brooklyn or Cambridge, Massachusetts and you get the idea. The wine and digestif lists...

This place is a real find. On a back street and amidst apartment blocks. It positions itself as a "slow food" restaurant. Inside it makes you smile. Mis matched furniture, contempory art, open kitchen and all round quirky (in a good way!) place. There are no menus just daily specials on a board making good use of local produce. Our... More

Best meal of our holiday, loved the restaurant atmosphere and design, and the service was superb...but its the food that steals the show. We had a perfect salad as a shared starter (the waitress actually advised we reduce our order as we had chosen too much food!), a prawn and vegetable dish to share, and then an iberian pork dish...

The staff spoke English and we received a detailed explanation regarding the menu and the wine list. All the courses of the meal were perfectly cooked and we really enjoyed the dinner. On our next visit to Seville we'll definitely have another dinner at Contenedor.

Amazing food quality. If you want to try something new in a nice atmosphere, just go there. We tried it this according to trip advisor advices, and it worth it ! French spoken.

Compared to other sevillan restaurants the menu is quite short, why? Because they change recipes every day according to what kind of fresh ingredients the chef can find. The result is a varied menu with good fish and meat dishes. I tried the salmon tartare and the vegetable soup with cockles. The freshness of vegetables and seafood was noticeable both... More
