Beer temples that exude solera, century-old bars, tasting menus with height and tapas as iconic as refined.

We are committed to the task of compiling the best restaurants and bars in Seville.
Those essential ones that reach excellence and you should try at least once in your life.
1. Abantal
Abantal, between Menéndez Pelayo and Luis Montoto, elevated Sevillian gastronomy to excellence and for 14 years has revalidated its recognition in the famous guide, in addition to the two Repsol suns it holds.
It opened its doors in 2004 and its kitchen is in charge of chef Julio Fernández Quintero, trained in the school of La Taberna del Alabardero in Seville.
The dining room has a simple atmosphere, the work of architects Santiago Pérez Barreda and Jaime Márquez Escudero, and blends in with the menu, the undisputed protagonist of this experience that starts in Seville and crosses the whole of Andalusia.
📍 c/ Alcalde José de la Bandera, 7
2. Cañabota
Cañabota’s very careful proposal is identified with the sea. Fish and seafood are the backbone of Cañabota’s concept, which is committed to the best products.
Juan Luis Fernández created in Seville a space inspired by a fish restaurant full of tiles that he had the opportunity to see in Croatia.
Coming from a fishmonger family, the Sevillian chef decided to launch this project in 2016, joined by Jaime and Eduardo Guardiola, Marcos Nieto and Rafa García.
Cañabota is one of the restaurants awarded the Michelin star distinction and one of the best in all of Seville.
📍 c/ José Gestoso, 19
3. Barra Baja
Market products, cuisine in sight and without frills are some of the precepts that make this destination a gastronomic reference.
The menu is concise but will allow you to repeat over and over again, as it adjusts to the season and also supplies the diner with a wide range of proposals outside the menu.
Rafa Liñán and Patricia Moliner come from Calima, of Dani García, ready to consolidate Barra Baja among the essential restaurants in Seville. And they have done just that.
📍 c/ Javier Lasso de la Vega, 14
4. La Casa del Tigre
This restaurant is serious stuff and, we’re not kidding, it could very well rank among the top 10 restaurants in Seville. La Casa del Tigre is the latest sensation when it comes to banners of more fun, original and refined cuisine in the city.
It is not surprising to find it packed with diners from Tuesday to Saturday. Located in one of the most mysterious buildings in the city, the restaurant’s starting point is the Sevillian personality, to which they give flavors, recipes and unique creations.
One of its star dishes is the mini brioche stuffed with an emulsion of manteca colorá. It is topped with a thin slice of smoked bacon and lime gel and promises to become one of the favorite snacks in Seville.
Although not only this one allows to elevate the Sevillian gastronomic experience with nuances and exquisite food from the hand of the chef Luis Plaza.
📍 c/ Amparo, 9 local B
5. Hiyoki
One of the best sushi restaurants in Seville could not be missing in this equation of essential hospitality businesses.
Hiyoki offers an excellent selection of nigiris, uramakis, sashimis, tartares and even ramen.
Indispensable premium meats, such as wagyu or Argentinean beef, make Hiyoki’s bites a delight that will captivate you from start to finish.
📍 c/ Javier Lasso de la Vega, 14
6. Mr. Crab
That Señor Cangrejo is one of the top restaurants in Seville should come as no surprise.
Chef Jesús León and Fátima Villanueva lead this gastronomic corner in El Arenal, a culinary surprise that bets on seasonal and kilometer 0 products.
The journey is sensational: haute cuisine, hilarious dishes, a close service lavished on the customer and the promise of continued growth that already anticipates its well-deserved Sol Repsol.
📍 c/ Harinas, 21
7. Balbuena and Huertas

📍 c/ San Jacinto, 89
8. De la O
Good culinary taste and architectural know-how share authorship in De la O and combining both qualities, so sought after in today’s hospitality universe, is a singularity.
In the project, the two concepts follow the guidelines of Manolo Llerena, chef and architect of this gastronomic oasis.
Wood, brick and porcelain coexist with the skill behind the stove and the ingenuity to create recipes. An intimate and harmonious space to enjoy an excellent experience as a couple and one of the best restaurants in Seville.
📍 Paseo de Nuestra Señora de la O, 29
9. Lalola
Its specialty is Iberian cuisine, on which its menu is based. Its commitment to mixing tradition and creativity is the key to the success of this establishment. The other: the raw material.
All its products are carefully selected and come from the Sierra de Huelva, which allows it to combine the flavors of the past in the dishes of the future.
The protagonist of this project is Javier Abascal, a Sevillian who trained as a chef at Taberna Alabardero and whose debut took place precisely in the Sierra de Aracena.
📍 c/ Conde de Torrejón, 9
10. El cuelgue
Is it possible to have refined tapas at reasonable prices and away from the hustle and bustle of the center? The answer, we are pleased to announce, is yes if one drops by the El cuelgue of the Jerez Santi Temblador.
A brief menu is always appreciated, especially if it is lavished on appetizing street snacks.
So, what will the diner find among his creations? Just a dozen dishes to share (their churros with cod chocolate and black salmorejo are one of the most fun options) and tasty montaditos.
Our favorites: duck pringá with lime mayo and cilantro and butterfish in steamed mollete with truffle mayonnaise and mushrooms.
📍 c/ Valle, 2
11. Veganí
Veganí is the proof that vegan cuisine can strut its stuff. Seasonal food, natural wines, a lively and diaphanous space and a couple of dishes that are inserted in our favorites in recent months. Tapas, sandwiches and stews that show that here they take the product by flag with ideal dimensions to share.
📍 c/ Feria, 117
12. Ricca, first pizza omakase bar
Ricca dares to break the standards of the non-negotiable tradition and brings to Seville the first pizza omakase bar in Spain. In other words: the diner has the opportunity to put himself in the hands of the master pizzaiolo and attend a tasting menu at the chef’s will.
📍c/ Dos de mayo, 26
13. Desacato
Don’t be fooled by its industrial look, the experience at Desacato is as close as its elaborations. The best of Andalusian recipes with Basque influences halfway between Duque and Alameda.
Pablo Carrasco leads one of the most interesting kitchens in recent years. A must: his lamb caramel from Burgos with Pedro Ximénez reduction.
📍 c/ Amor de Dios, 7
14. Alabardero’s Tavern
The place has the aesthetic virtues of being inside an old mansion. The service is excellent and its cuisine verifies that the acclaimed Lezama Group is behind it.

📍 c/ Orfila, 5
17. El Rinconcillo
The oldest bar in Seville is still going strong 300 years later. It still preserves the tradition of writing down the bill with chalk on the mahogany bar, as if it were a blackboard, and its menu continues to respect tradition. Pavías, croquettes or scrambled eggs ooze tradition and flavor as the first day.
📍 c/ Gerona, 40
18. Blanca Paloma
Another indispensable temple as far as the palate is concerned. To come to Triana and not to pass by here is a gastronomic sin. In Blanca Paloma the flavors of all life commune in an incomparable atmosphere.
The reader should know, in any case, that reservations are not allowed on the terrace and it is a very busy restaurant. It is necessary to arrive in good time and avoid long queues.
A guarantee as far as Andalusian fried food is concerned (we especially celebrate their pavías de bacalao ) along with other unbeatable classics and great inventions.
📍 c/ San Jacinto, 49
19. Lobo Lopez
The lounge is a jewel of decoration. Converted into a kind of Andalusian patio, it preserves the reminiscences of what could have been a neighbors’ patio. With this southern spirit, CM4 architects knew how to combine the Sevillian tradition with more tropical and exotic elements. A preview of what diners will be able to taste.
📍 c/ Rosario, 15

In the vicinity of the Alameda there is a corner whose flavors continue to conquer all appetites. Its fame precedes it: it is one of the best rated restaurants in Seville on the Internet, and no wonder: its tapas are crazy.

📍 c/ Eslava, 3
28. Bread and Circus
Cristina Galeote, who headed other projects such as Red House or No-lugar the art company, and Kike Domínguez are behind Pan y Circo, this brilliant idea located in the vicinity of El Salvador.

With slightly more avant-garde tastes, at least in terms of presentation, El Sella prepares a first-class cachopo, the jewel of Asturian cuisine in the heart of Triana. Its menu includes tortos con picadillo, cheeses and Asturian cider, exquisite meats and, of course, the long-awaited cachopo.
Among the goodness of El Sella is knowing how to combine the best of Andalusian and Asturian cuisine and the possibility of taking it gluten-free and lactose-free.
📍 c/ Pureza, 4

Chef Camila Ferraro and sommelier Robert Tetas are the perfect tandem that sustains Sobretablas, a high-end restaurant where you can breathe the influence of El Celler de Can Roca. Several floors make up this space, located in one of the buildings for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929.

📍 c/ Antillano Campos, 26 | c/ Pagés del Corro, 74
33. Az-Zait
Opening a creative cuisine restaurant in a traditional tapas area of Seville can be madness… or genius. Culinary avant-gardism in the center of Seville is Az-zait, whose name refers to “olive juice” and where diners will find different tasting menus to match.
📍 Plaza de San Lorenzo, 1

Chiquilla is barely 2 years old but it can already boast of being the pretty girl of the Arenal neighborhood. Fish, seafood, good pieces of meat and an assortment of tapas to round off your culinary appointments.

The influence of Ovejas Negras on Marabunda Food’s chef, Francis Balongo, is evident from the tapas and dishes on the menu. You can imagine and salivate at the same time: chicharrón de papada fried with lime, carabinero croquette or tiradito de salmón acevichado en leche de tigre de mango.

c/ Tomás de Ibarra, 10
Tribeca
Tribeca is a party in the heart of the Buhaira neighborhood and its work is commendable. The proposal is linked to seasonal products, which is why its menu is renewed with some frequency, to which they add certain elaborations outside the menu.
The menu, however, is served from Monday to Friday at lunchtime until 2:30 pm.

📍 c/ López de Arenas, 2
45. Recoveco
Although Recoveco covers a wide culinary proposal, tuna is something like the food that is the backbone of its cuisine. So much so that they dedicate a chapter of their menu only to dishes made with this delicacy.
Time stands still on the heights of Recoveco, over an immense panoramic view of the Giralda, the rooftops and domes that preside over the neighborhoods of the city. Each corner invites you to relax and enjoy its gastronomic project, which starts with a few bites of chicken salad courtesy of the house.
