It's theatre and lunch rolled into one, hosted in a setting that feels both intimate and celebratory.

What to expect

You'll arrive at La Terraza del Cristina and settle at a table overlooking Seville. The chef takes centre stage, building the paella stock, layering saffron rice, seafood or meat, and finishing with that crucial socarrat crust. You can ask questions and watch technique up close. Before the paella comes out, you'll nibble on cured meats and cheese whilst sipping sangría. Once plated, the dish is yours to eat at a relaxed pace. Drinks flow freely throughout.

Good to know

Vegetarian and vegan options available—mention dietary needs when booking. The terrace is wheelchair accessible, as are nearby public transport stops. Allow time to digest; this isn't rushed. Peak hours can get busy, so arrive on time.
