Topic: Restaurants
Today we finally tried a place which caught my eye almost a year ago. ConTenedor is a little off the beaten path on Calle San Luis, just in front of the Iglesia San Luis de los Franceses. And in keeping with the "franceses" of the church, the restaurant has a French feel to it. The food is wonderful, and the atmosphere relaxing and open.
From the outside:
Inside there is plenty of color. The floor plan is open and on a sunny day it really is a pleasant place where you can enjoy a long lunch.
One of my favorite parts is the open kitchen where you can watch all of the action, as well as smell everything cooking.
We were four people and shared 4 different dishes. Our first course was pate. Some of the best we have had in Sevilla
Next was the arroz con pato, or duck with rice
Then the venison stew...
Finally a very rare steak (recommended rare) with cream of potato which was wonderful.
And of course it wasn't complete until we had dessert!
Again, I can highly recommend this place. From the quality of food, to the atmosphere, the smells coming from the kitchen. The whole experience was wonderful, and perfect for a Saturday afternoon meal. ConTenedor can be found on Calle San Luis just in front of the church San Luis de los Franceses.
