The best Spanish restaurants Sevilla

Housed in a former 19th century palace, this restaurant of the Seville Hotel School offers a dining room on the first floor and a pretty cafeteria-bistro in a very elegant patio. Refined and delicious, the cuisine adapts to the seasons, but you can, for example, enjoy a cold soup with almond milk, a carpaccio of langoustines with ginger ice cream, turbot with orange sauce, and finally a chocolate cake with a heart of mango cream. Your taste buds should remember it.

In an alley near Mateos Gago, this bar with a long counter and a good team has changed from a copa bar (for drinking only) to a tapas and copas bar. In an often festive atmosphere, you can try the salmojeros, the burgers or the tapas of the day (ceviche, tortilla de patatas or mini cheddar burger...), which have sometimes won awards during Tapas Week. The other address, el pasaje Santa María la blanca, (Ximénez de Enciso, 33) has the same range of dishes, but in this second place you can also enjoy a nice little terrace.

Close to the Murillo gardens, on a privileged terrace or in an Andalusian bistro atmosphere with bottle cellar, this wine shop stands out with over 100 wine references and a cuisine to suit all tastes. Spanish cold meats and cheeses, hot and cold preparations and a few salads arrive at the table in appetizing presentations and rather generous portions: broccoli couscous with a panache of sautéed bamboo, shrimp carpaccio with sesame and soy reduction, homemade semi-cooked foie gras with caramelized peanuts, mussels marinara with Jerez wine, grilled sweetbreads... If it's not too busy, the service is pleasant. Because of the crowds, it's best to make reservations or come early to this tapa fast-food restaurant. A good option for a quick bite and a refreshing drink.

Just a few steps from the cathedral, this furiously authentic bodega has belonged to the same family since its creation in 1850.

In a typical yet chic atmosphere, you can enjoy tapas served on a wooden board: smoked tuna, tortilla, local ham... while drinking a glass of tinto. You will notice the large collection of bottles on display. Not to be missed.

Using fresh market produce, the seasonal menu is made up of beautifully presented dishes: chicken wok with rice and green vegetables, fried cod with tartar sauce and grilled vegetables, liver breast prepared a la plancha with fruit risotto. Homemade desserts, good Andalusian wines and pleasant service also make this a great address in the Alameda square.

Medium service and a little salty.

Sometimes rewarded during the week of the tapa

It is a sure and inimitable value in Triana. Since its creation by Ruperto Blanco Caro in the 1970s, this meeting point, which some Sevillians callcutre, has been serving a speciality that gets the whole neighbourhood moving: quail a la plancha. Everyone standing on the terrace or near the large zinc bar serving an excellent mosto (young family wine) licks their fingers.
