Río Grande Sevilla

We booked seats outside on the terrace to find out on our arrival that those seats are not available, blaming their system (total BS). The disappointment set the mood for the rest of the night. Food was ok, we ordered pallea verdura and the “noodle” pallea prawns, which both came very late and almost burned. We also ordered appetizers octopus, and all the verduras which weren’t that special (check the pics). So we decided not to take dessert there. All in all, the ambiance is good, the food is subpar, the service is trying to be good but needs work.

The food at Balcón de Rio Grande was absolutely incredible – truly one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. Every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavour, and I can’t stress enough how wonderful the food itself was. That said, the overall experience felt a little diminished by the atmosphere. We got the sense that the staff were trying to rush us through, despite our table being available until 11pm. The service wasn’t particularly warm or helpful – waiters were only attentive when we were ready to order or seemed finished, which left the experience feeling transactional rather than welcoming. Additionally, there was no music, which made the ambiance feel a little flat. Where we were seated, lots of people were constantly coming up to take photos of the balcony, right around our table. At one point it felt more like we were on display than enjoying a private meal, which wasn’t very relaxing. All in all, the food was outstanding and I would return for that alone – but I hope the atmosphere and service improve to truly match the quality of the cuisine.

We can only highly recommend this place. The location is superb right at the edge of the river with a view on maritime museum. Food was excellent, prices very reasonable unless you go for high end wine (my weakness) and very good service. When you book, make sure you ask for the higher quality bottom level restaurant. As there are 3 restaurants and the bottom one is the nicest.

The restaurant has an amazing view to the river and city. I would recommend seating outside if weather permits. We had the croquetas, fried puntillitas and the seafood rice. The croquetas were very creamy and nice, the puntillitas were perfectly on point, the rice was good but I wish it had more seafood in it. I do have to say the rice is a huge portion, we did over order. They had good options for wine by the glass. Service as extremely fast (for any country’s standard and even more so for Spain). Overall the food is more on the traditional Spanish fare, not very specific to Sevilla, but the views make the visit worth it.

Such a lovely experience! Gina was very attentive and smiley. Just added to the evening! The food was FANTASTIC! Cueto was very pleasant and made sure we had everything we needed. If we ate back in Sevilla, we will be back!
