Braxas, Restaurant in Casco Antiguo, Seville, Spain
Braxas is a small restaurant in the Casco Antiguo neighborhood of Seville, Spain. It has seating at low and high tables inside, plus a small outdoor terrace.
Braxas opened in July 2022, run by chef Lewis Colwell and Cristina Alfonso, who manages the front of house. The two decorated the space themselves, using handmade wooden furniture.
The name Braxas comes from the Spanish word for embers, which points directly to how the food is cooked. The restaurant sits close to the Santa Catalina Church, so a walk through the old streets of the neighborhood fits naturally into a visit.
The restaurant is easy to find near the Santa Catalina Church in the old part of the city. Because the space is small, booking ahead is a good idea, especially on weekends and in the evenings.
Almost every dish at Braxas is cooked on a charcoal grill called the Empero, which gives the food a smoky flavor you notice as soon as you walk in. One standout on the menu is dry-aged Frisona beef, a cut that becomes tender through an aging process and is not common in most restaurants.
