We ordered 4 dishes. The duck risotto was to die for, the crunchy fried shallots on top, the smooth sauce and the perfectly cooked risotto. This is even better than a lot of the risotto dishes I had in Italy. I wish we had the full size instead of the half size. Would 100% order again. 5/5. Cheesecake was so delicious! So smooth oh my god! I shared the first one with my husband and was very tempted to order a second one. It is way better than the highest rated cheesecake store in town. 5/5. The beet salad was my third favorite. The beet was cooked well and doesn’t have the usual earthy taste at all. I was skeptical about the combination with hummus, but it actually turns out to be very good. 4/5. Grilled pork was good but not amazing and a little pricey. 4/5. Avoid the charcuterie board! I was very excited about it after seeing the pictures posted but none of the meat tasted that good. The ham had a weird aftertaste, the sausage were cut very thick and hard to eat. 2/5. Service was mediocre, we had several different servers at our table. Some were friendly and some seemed like they had a bad day. Just perfect, and the best restaurant meal I have had in the last decade. We had a wonderful meal at Petra - so good in fact that when paying the bill we immediately made another reservation. They serve beautifully presented food using high quality ingredients and offer a good selection of wines (we went with their recommendation which was delightful). Service was attentive and discreet and the staff were personable, warm and welcoming. The pork and beef were of a very high quality and the cheesecake was the best I've ever had. Reservations only operate with certain times and walk-ins may need to wait as this restaurant is popular and rightly so - Petra deserve every success. We are already looking forward to our next meal here. Glad I came across this restaurant while walking around. Great selection of tapas and friendly staff. My only wish is that they sold wine by the glass, but other than that everything here was great.

Best meal I had in Sevilla. Everything was delicious from the wine to the tapas to dessert (mascarpone dulce de leche is a must try.)

Petra turned out to be one of those rare, unexpected gems you stumble upon in Seville. We ordered the Iberico pork on the hot stone and the scampi, and both were nothing short of exceptional. The pork was the kind of dish that makes you pause after the first bite: perfectly marbled, meltingly tender, and full of that deep Iberico flavor that only gets better as it sizzles on the stone. The scampi were just as impressive: fresh, juicy, and seasoned with a light touch that let the quality speak for itself. Add to that the warm, stylish atmosphere and the genuinely welcoming service, and you get a place that stays with you long after the meal is over. Petra is absolutely a must-try for anyone who wants a true Sevillian food experience without the touristy feel.
