Christmas somewhere different
At La Ilustre, Christmas lunches and dinners aren't the usual obligatory do. They're meals where the food is good, the toasts are with sherry cocktails, music plays on vinyl and the time after the meal stretches on because nobody wants to leave. And on the December days of our Christmas season, our house DJ keeps the drinks going after lunch and after dinner. Perfect for company Christmas dinners, celebrations with friends or any group looking for something different in central Seville.
Seated menus are available for groups of up to 25 people. More than that? Take a look at our standing cocktail menus. See standing cocktail menus
