Taking gastronomic honesty as a flag implies putting croquettes, which in Seville are prepared with care, before many other delicacies. Few palates, even the most exquisite and difficult to please, reject the manifesto that considers croquettes as one of the tapas par excellence and that the best, in addition to the tradition of our kitchens, are prepared by mothers and grandmothers.
They seduce everyone, they do not require ornaments, they are made with cheap ingredients and they lend themselves to introduce flavors and avant-garde. Take note because below we are going to show you where to eat the best croquettes in Seville beyond the limits of your home.
