Restaurante Doña Rufina in Seville

"We had a fantastic experience here. We ordered the seafood paella, a lovely bottle of wine, and Iberico ham - everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. They even cooked a simple bowl of rice just for our toddler, which made things so easy. Every little request was handled instantly and with a smile, so the whole visit felt completely stress-free. On top of that, the terrace is beautiful and the view is lovely. Outstanding service and a wonderful atmosphere — highly recommended."

"We stopped here for lunch after a tour and were very impressed. The food was delicious and our waiter was kind and friendly. You do have the option to eat in the street, inside the restaurant, or the rooftop. We choose the street. They have plenty of umbrellas for shade. The paella was amazing and the croquetas were delicious also. We would definitely recommend this place. It's an easy walk right up from the cathedral."

"Fantastic food. Very generous portion and the quality was amazing. Highly recommend the paella. Very fresh! Dylan and Anastasia were great hosts."

"You definitely need to reserve in advance cause this place is very popular. The service is very nice, during a busy night I waited for a long time for my main course but it was merité. Next time I would like to try the roof top."

"We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance and were pleasantly surprised by its rooftop terrace—a perfect spot to unwind after a long day, conveniently located near the cathedral. For appetizers, we enjoyed the fried eggplants with a fantastic dipping sauce and a tomato salad with tuna. For the main course, we opted for the seafood paella, which was equally delightful. The friendly staff and excellent service made the experience even more memorable."

"Food was great, the service wasn’t. I needed to remind them twice to bring us a second glass - there were two of us and they gave us only one glass. Then we didn’t get any spoon with paella, again, I had to ask for that. And then we didn’t receive two tapas and I also had to ask about that. Not what I expect from a good restaurant."

"Grilled octopus was tasty and well cooked, the couscous was a bit dry though. Good atmosphere and service in general!"

"This was my first meal in Seville, and it couldn’t have set the mood better. Service was great. The place has that unmistakable Sevillian charm, with a view straight down the street leading to the cathedral. A lovely way to ease into the city."
