Montaditos legend
 |
| Tuna belly salad |
Casual tapas bars are everywhere in Seville, to be stand out, apart from great quality cooking, having a signature dish also help. Casa Morales has the octopus, and at Bodeguita Romero, it is all about the montaditos, a Spanish style sandwich that Bodeguita Romero is famous for and has gained cult status. The classic version contained Iberico pork, black pudding and dressed up with either whisky sauce or mojo picon. Besides the infamous montaditos, the restaurant also has a range of classic tapas offerings, such as grilled meat, cold cuts, and fried items.

| Pork montaditos |
The prawn fritter was pretty special, it contained a great depth of seafood umami aroma and contained plenty of shrimps, it was basically prawn cracker but at god status. The stewed beef trips were another wonderful dish, it was slow-cooked with beef tendon, beef stock, and tomato. The trips were so smooth and loaded with rich meaty flavour, it was so comforting. The main event of pork montaditos was great but not as special as expected. The seasoning was lacking, and I felt a touch more olive oil would be great to add a little bit of moisture to the bread.

All in all, strangely enough, apart from the sandwich, everything else was excellent. The cooking felt rustic and traditional, and the flavours were wonderful. I also enjoyed the sit-down bar counter style dining experience, as I get the chance to see the chefs working. The tapas size of all the dishes enables me to test out many dishes but the menu is big, so I would love to head back to try other items if I ever head back to Seville.
