ANDALUCÍA - SEVILLA - RESTAURANTE ABANTAL
RESTAAURANTE ABANTAL One Michelin Star
Abantal was opened by chef Julio Fernández Quintero in 2004. After training at the Taberna del Alabardero in Sevilla, and a spell in Washington D.C. in the USA, Julio returned to Sevilla and opened Abantal. The restaurant was awarded a Michelin Star in 2009 and has held it ever since. It is the only restaurant in Sevilla currently with that distinction.
They only have two set menus,
One for €100 and one for €80, with a wine pairing of €40 or for the smaller menu, €35.
We were allowed to pick a few dishes from either menu.
Aperitives
Heirbas (herbs)
Hojaldre de chorizo (chorizo pastry)
Canelones de cerdo (pork cannelloni).
Espinacas (spinach).
Arroz meloso de albahaca y piñones (creamy rice with basil and pine nuts).

There was a conejo en escabeche y yogurt (rabbit and yoghurt) dish, which somehow, we have no picture.

For wine, we had a bottle of, Terra de Godos Albariño Rías Baixas 2019.
Abantal has just the one contemporary dining room, it has bare walls, to ensure that the focus is entirely on the food. Service was friendly and informative .
