Cafe Seville - Spanish restaurant in Fort Lauderdale - 2768 E Oakland Park Blvd, USA

I can not say enough about Cafe Seville as I have been going there or picking up take out for 20 years. We liked our office Christmas 🎄 Dinner so much last year, my employees asked to go back..... This year was even better. Serge and Pepe were great and Joey picked the perfect spot for us near the Christmas tree. We started with seafood paella, had appetizers including octopus and chorizo. I love how they bring you a mantel with their feature dishes. It's super cozy and quaint. I highly recommend this restaurant.

How have I lived here so long without discovering this gem of a restaurant within a stone’s throw from the Intracoastal and beach!?! Well, we know it now, and you should, too! I left a message for a birthday dinner for two, and imagine my surprise when Joey, the owner, called back personally! We were greeted by him as well when we arrived, and were treated like family, or more like the Royal Family. The food was outstanding…yellow-tail snapper with artichokes and tomatoes, corvina with shrimp, sherry and saffron, a delightful Spanish tapa of traditional meat, cheese and olives, and a heavenly creme brûlée to end this delicious meal. The cuisine is high quality, fresh, cooked to order, and served piping hot! The service was outstanding, and Joey the owner checked in on everyone as though he had cooked for us at home. Make reservations! This place is filled with devoted locals and tourists, alike. Located at the foot of the drawbridge, in a shopping strip, you will find plenty of parking. I can’t wait to go back! Oh, and the decor is lovely, reminding me of favorite spots in Barcelona! Gracias, Cafe Seville!

Yes. It’s been a long time since my last visit and I can’t believe I forgot about this place. Same waiter for over 20 years. Superb food. A hidden gem. Not on open table. A locals place. I recognize people from many years ago. Spanish flare. We started with the octopus. Perfect. She had osso buco. I have the yellowtail snapper. Both excellent. Snapper was fresh and thick. Unlike the thin snapper I’ve had lately around town. Loved it all Local reviews by a local for over 50 years. Just the stuff not the fluff

I was deeply disappointed with everything. Their so called “Spanish” isn’t authentic. I have been to Spain many times and I frequently go to Spanish places in South Florida, I’m also Latin so I know about this type of food. As an appetizer we ordered their “Entremés Sevillano” which was a cold platter of Spanish ham, chorizo and cheese with olives not appealing at all, the ham and chorizo were old, not properly cut and overpriced for the poor quality and taste. We also ordered two of their soups, lentils and beans, they both lacked flavor, were cold and did not seem fresh, in other words, they were re-heated. For the main courses, we had the duck in cranberry sauce and a veal of ternera, they were poorly accompanied with steamed vegetables that seemed taken out straight from a Walmart cheap bag of veggies and the mash potatoes were gluey and unappetizing. The sangria we had was ok; We didn’t make it to dessert. The place is old, not clean (dust everywhere, specially lamps) and this makes one wonder how things are back in the kitchen. Just by looking at it from the outside, it isn’t appealing or tempting. There are far better places and with much better prices. Like Eatapas (which has a live guitar and flamenco show) or Bodega Santiago.

This place is amazing! The food was excellent and the service was unbelievably amazing!! They really took care of us and we had such a special time! Highly recommend!

I had been wanting to go for quite a while and finally made it!!! Went on Wednesday night, and the place was already packed! but we were able to get a table with no reservation. -The place is in a nice plaza with free parking. Sevice: Top notch! everyone was extra nice in a genuine way. -Menu: giant wine list with great prices. They have night apecials and regualr menu with plates around $30 and some more expensive can get up to 50. My girl friend and I we both got the pork chop, and it was really good. They have a good selection from pork to rabbit, duck, and venison. Restaurante is super chill with a super nice vibe I will give it a 4.8, and I'm looking forward to getting back

This is our 4th time going to Cafe Seville! Whenever we are in Fort Lauderdale, we always stop in here because they have the best tres leches we have ever had in our lives! This trip was different because my husband and I have been raving about this place since we first came here in 2021. We finally brought the kids here and so glad we did. They validated what we always knew, the food is amazing and hands down, best tres leches ever had! When in Fort Lauderdale or if you are a local, highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone! Joey, the owner is so great and always makes us feel welcomed. His staff has been with him all along and that speaks to the excellent service that we always experience when we stop in! Thank you! We will be back next year!

The service was great! Our server was really nice, very sweet and professional. I have no complaints about the service. But the food is a 2 out of 10. The paella tasted like rice and seafood, like something that I could’ve cooked myself. Not that it tasted bad, it kind of tasted good, but definitely not a paella. I recognize that we got there late, but… if you couldn’t cook the paella right, just let us know, we’d order something else. It was literally white rice and some clams and mussels. Not the most expensive place ever.. I guess you get what you paid for. 🤷🏽‍♀️
