Great little place . Went there last night with my husband. I saw that they had a paella dish that was to be ordered for 2 people, asked the waiter if it was ok if I can have them make it for one order and he said that was completely fine. :) The dish itself was loaded with wonderful seafood , mussels , clams ,shrimp,scallops, with chicken and chorizo! Excellence all in one dish! My husband had ordered rabbit and he also enjoyed his dish as well! Overall, this place has charm! Glad we found it.
Enchanting. One of my favorite meals of all time. The atmosphere and my view were amazing. Took my co workers here when we were in town and everyone loved it. The owners were super friendly and very accommodating. Made my time in Lauderdale very memorable.
Hands down, best Spanish food!!. Found this gem while on vacation 10 years ago, and now that we're FL residents it's our #1choice whenever in Lauderdale. Never had a bad dish here and the menu is diverse and extensive. Service is excellent and whether you're a new customer or an old friend, you're treated like family. Don't pass up homemade sangria and definitely call for reservations on Fri & Sat nights!!
Local gem!. Cafe Seville is an amazing locally owned restaurant with wonderful ambiance, decor and even more amazing food! Do not be surprised if the owner himself greets your table. The waitstaff is wonderfully friendly and you cannot go wrong with your meal choice. I highly recommend splitting the paella and trying to leave room for desert! Be sure to check out the daily specials as well, the seafood is fresh and made to perfection!
Outstanding!!! Food was delicious and service was amazing...
One of our favorite spots. My husband I love Cafe Seville. It was recommended to us about a year ago and now is our new go-to restauarant whenever we want a nice night out and great food. The food and service is spectacular!
Very authentic and delicious. Paella and Tres leches is the best in town!
Joe is the man! Our best and most fun diner in Lauderdale during our 3 day trip. Thanks!

Well I've never been to Spain, but I kinda like the music. I also kinda like Spanish cuisine, and there aren't too many places where you can find it here in Fort Lauderdale.
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 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 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!
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!
This is a restaurant that is incredibly awesome. The food is superb, the service is awesome and the vibe of the restaurant is wonderful. The sangria is also excellent. I have eaten many places in Fort Lauderdale, but this restaurant is by far the best I have eaten at. Everyone makes you feel so welcome and the servers treat you like you are beyond special. We ate the paella and it was so flavorful. The desserts are also very good. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.
Another delicious dining experience. Fabulous service. The best assortment of fresh fish made the decision for their wonderful stuffed veal chop even more difficult. So we decided to split the seafood/meat options and chose the Crab Bisque as a starter, followed by their (usually -- but not this time so great) Mussels and we split the Stuffed Veal Chop entree. Next time, I would ask the server how the Mussels are running, because apparently, and unbeknown as to us, this wasn't the best time to be ordering that dish. We'll definitely be back!!
Everything was excellent. We got sangria, escargot, gazpacho, paella, and the tres leches cake. Can’t wait to go back and try other items.

We had this place bookmarked for a while, but never had the chance to go. On this particular weekend, my wife said it was time to check this off our list.
We have heard from our friends this is the best Spanish restaurant in the area and based on our conversation about their experience, we decided to go with one of their signature dishes, the Seafood Paella!!!
Even though we did not make the reservation, the host was willing to take us in and gave us a nice table. The place may not be huge, but I love the Mediterranean vibe. It felt nice and welcoming.
Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. He helped us pick out a nice bottle of Spanish wine to pair with our seafood paella. There were also several specials going on that night and we decided to order the Octopus Santa Fe as our appetizer. I think they should bottle that sauce because it tasted great. The octopus was nice and soft and it was just a wonderful dish.
And then our seafood paella came. It was absolutely the best seafood paella I've ever had. It's got a lot of seafood init like scallops, clams, shrimps, and muscles. The rice was nice and got tons of flavors. The portion was huge, probably big enough for 2-3 people. Everything was absolutely delicious! Definitely worth the 5 Stars.
Wonderful experience! The atmosphere is somewhat cozy as the dining area is divided into several rooms. The Waite staff was friendly, attentive and patient. I was blown away by the variety of the Daily Specials menu but it was first time so I had to try the Paella and I’m so glad I did!!! The food was delicious and well balanced. The Sangria and Margaritas were delicious too! Overall it was a wonderful dining experience!
I pulled up reviews for this restaurant before I went because I was in town on a business trip. I was looking for good seafood and just an overall good experience. I called to see if they could fit me in and the man on the phone said just ask for Joey when you come I’ll get you a seat. I later found out that Joey was the owner.
When I arrived, he sat me at the bar amongst a bunch of his friends, and I began a night of the most delicious dining and wonderful bar drinks from Kevin. I think it was even the patrons that made this place even better. I had the shrimp Santa Fe appetizer, the red sauce reminded me of my mom‘s homemade cooking, delicious! I had a special called the Seabass ole. It was so flavorful!
And Kevin, the bartender was one of the best bartenders I’ve ever experienced! He mixed up delicious drinks with genuine friendliness and care. His service was superb!
Thank you, Joey, Kevin and patrons of Seville for making my night in Fort Lauderdale so satisfying!

Wow... I was floored by this gem. I was doing my usual Friday afternoon search for a new place to try and came across Cafe Seville. We were craving Spanish food, mostly with Yellow Rice and Sangria in mind. You want what you want, right? We also are huge on ambiance but that you can't really see through photos. Cafe Seville is inside of a shopping center which I am not a huge fan of being from New Jersey/New York but that is every restaurant in Florida. As soon as we walked in, we knew we had found what we wanted. It instantly reminded me of one of my favorite places back home. We were sat immediately and greeted by one of the most lively server named Tony. Shortly after we were greeted by the owner. With that alone, we knew we were in for a great evening. They provided us with the menu and rolled out a board full of evening specials. Floored by the variety! We started with a pitcher of Sangria. (Fresh and delicious. None of the fake stuff) As an appetizer, we went with the garlic shrimp and sausage (INSANELY DELICIOUS AND SO FLAVORFUL). For the entree, we went with the Seafood Paella. (Huge portion and so good. 10/10). If you are looking for a place that has everything in 1 place- service, food and ambiance ...you MUST come here. We are so happy to know, we have found a new place to call a favorite. Can't wait to see Tony again. So much love that we ended the night with a hug :)
The gazpacho and seafood paella were great!!! The paella had a ton of seafood and we ended up with leftovers. Excellent customer service. Highly recommend!!!
The best restaurant in Florida. Have been here many times trying to find something I don’t love but have failed each time. Today we had Angulas at the bar with their unmatched heavenly bread and the divine snapper. Words can’t even come close to explain the freshness and taste of every dish. Nothing short of heaven. Service is beyond any explanation . 12 out of 10 stars. Owner operated to perfection. Joey always makes you feel like family. We will be back tomorrow.
Food was amazing. Average is 35.00 a plate for a seafood dish. Great atmosphere and service too!
