RETINTA — Fire, Ingredients, and Flavor in the Heart of Seville
Located on the ground floor of the hotel, with direct access from the street, Retinta offers unpretentious cuisine: charcoal-grilled dishes, quality cuts of meat, and dishes designed for sharing. Here, the ingredients take center stage.
A Space with Character
Behind an unassuming facade lies a warm and tastefully decorated interior, where Sevillian tradition blends with contemporary design: geometric hydraulic tile floors, tiles, exposed brick, and latticework coexist with wooden and wicker furniture. Large amber glass lamps hang over the dining room like almost sculptural pieces, casting a warm light that invites you to linger. Vintage touches—white balloons, a fringed lamp, and green tones in the color palette—complete an atmosphere with its own unique identity, ideal for both a casual dinner and a special meal.
The Concept: Fire, Ingredients, and Simplicity
At Retinta, we don’t try to complicate what already works. The cuisine revolves around two clear pillars: the grill and rice.
Meats are cooked over direct heat, with special attention paid to the cut and the degree of doneness—here, grilling isn’t just a technique; it defines the character of each dish, adding depth of flavor without the need for gimmicks or sophisticated presentations. The quality of the ingredients takes priority above all else: carefully selected cuts, cooked with precision, so that the ingredients speak for themselves.
Rice is the second star of the menu, with several dishes designed specifically for sharing at the table—generous portions meant for everyone to enjoy together, reinforcing the idea of approachable, unpretentious cuisine.
All of this is complemented by simple yet well-executed sides (french fries, roasted sweet potatoes), a wine selection with a strong emphasis on Andalusian wines to pair with grilled dishes, and a classic dessert menu designed to round out the meal with something familiar and indulgent.
It’s “straightforward” cuisine: no fusion, no trends, and no technical excesses. Quality ingredients, expert control of the heat, and flavors everyone recognizes—that’s Retinta’s commitment.
