I&#8217;ve been wanting to come here for ages and finally got a chance the other day when friends invited me to join them for lunch. We got there early as Besana is a cosy place and doesn&#8217;t take bookings, and we found a nice spot in the small dining room off the bar area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Co-owners Mario R\u00edos Aguilera and Curro Noriego are constantly recreating Besana with new menus every few months, and there are also a few daily specials. Most of you know by now that I am not a huge fan of &#8220;gastrobars&#8221;, but Besana has a reputation for both quality and innovation, so I was up for trying anything. In the end I preferred the dishes that most resembled, well, food (surely foamed anything has had its day?) and that weren&#8217;t overly clever. Great care is taken with presentation here and dishes such as the perfectly grilled sea bass with asparagus and citrus emulsion and the squid ink croquettes with roasted garlic mayo were as tasty as they were attractive. The glazed sweetbreads with goat cheese and stir-fried setas were also a favourite, but I really should&#8217;ve known better than to order the mini-burger. Overall it was a very pleasant lunch with attentive service and some lovely wines by the glass.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/azahar-sevilla.com\/blog\/2011\/04\/16\/bread-dough\/\">Bread Charge<\/a>: 0.80\u20ac<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.es\/maps?q=Besana+Tapas&amp;hl=es&amp;cid=11320423558058977300&amp;gl=ES&amp;t=m&amp;z=16&amp;iwloc=A\" target=\"_blank\">Ni\u00f1o Perdido, 1<\/a><br \/>\nUtrera<br \/>\nTel 955 863 804<br \/>\nOpen 13.00 &#8211;
