María Castaña

María Castaña is a restaurant in Écija, Seville, that has gained recognition since its opening in 2020 for its culinary offerings, which blend Andalusian tradition with creative and signature touches. It stands out for reinventing the concept of traditional tapas, offering a contemporary dining experience that provides excellent value for the money.

The restaurant serves Mediterranean, Spanish, and fusion cuisine, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Among its most acclaimed specialties are María’s Croquettes, tempura-fried king prawns with corn tempura and avocado hummus, pork cheek donut with carrot parmentier, oxtail brioche, and artisanal desserts such as the Oreo “flowerpot” or caramelized brioche French toast with Baileys.

María Castaña features a spacious, cozy, and elegant setting, divided into several dining rooms at different levels. Its crowning jewel is a spectacular rooftop terrace with romantic views of Écija’s iconic towers, ideal for dinner. The atmosphere is sophisticated yet welcoming, perfect for business lunches, romantic evenings, or family celebrations.

The restaurant also organizes wine-pairing tastings and cooking classes, and features an open kitchen. It offers professional yet friendly service and is wheelchair accessible.

We recommend making reservations in advance, especially for weekend dinners on the rooftop, due to the large crowds.

Be sure to try their iconic "Croquetas de María" and the pork cheek donut—they come highly recommended by diners.
