Cañabota’s carefully selected proposal is identified with the sea. Fish and seafood are the backbone of Cañabota’s concept, which is committed to the best products.

A brief menu is always appreciated, especially if it is dedicated to appetizing street snacks.
So, what will diners find among his creations? Just a dozen dishes to share (their churros con chocolate de bacalao con salmorejo negro are one of the most fun options) and tasty montaditos.

📍c/Dos de mayo, 26
11. Contempt
Don’t be fooled by its industrial look, the Desacato experience is as close as its elaborations. The best of Andalusian recipes with Basque influences halfway between the Duque and the Alameda.

The oldest bar in Seville is still going strong 300 years later.

Pavías, croquettes or scrambled eggs ooze tradition and flavor as the first day.
📍 c/ Gerona, 40
16. Blanca Paloma
Another essential temple for the palate. Coming to Triana and not stopping by is clearly a gastronomic sin. In Blanca Paloma the flavors of all life commune in an incomparable atmosphere.
The reader should know, in any case, that they do not accept reservations on the terrace and it is a very busy restaurant. Arrive early and avoid long lines. A guarantee as far as the andalusian fried foods (we celebrate their codfish pavias especially) along with other unbeatable classics and great inventions.
📍 c/ San Jacinto, 49
17. Lobo Lopez
The living room is a jewel of decoration. Converted into a sort of Andalusian patio, it preserves the reminiscences of what could have been a neighbors’ patio.

It is at La Cantina by Sed de México where the fiesta of flavor is celebrated, with Mexican cuisine as the absolute protagonist. One of the best options to introduce us to this powerful gastronomy and, therefore, one of the best restaurants in Seville.

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.
Although there are many reasons to visit this classic, in the first links we place its egg in boletus sponge cake or Bécquer’s cigar.
📍 c/ Eslava, 3
26. 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.

c/ Antillano Campos, 26 | c/ Pagés del Corro, 74
31. Az-Zait
Opening a creative cuisine restaurant in a traditional tapas area of Seville can be madness… or genius. A culinary avant-garde 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 barely 2 years ago but she can already boast of being the pretty girl of the Arenal neighborhood. Fish, seafood, good pieces of meat, and a tapas assortment to round off your culinary appointments.

35. Ricardo House
Casa Ricardo is a croqueteros’ paradise and one of the gastronomic (and cofrades) meccas of Seville.

A dish crowned by croquettes and its unmistakable chips will delight your meal.
📍 c/Hernán Cortés, 2
36. Dos de Mayo Winery
It is one of the classics for tapas in the center. The service is excellent and the traditional food eaten here is a delight. Wait patiently if you come on a weekend, its terrace is very large and the agility of the staff allows the wait to be short and pleasant, but we recommend going early.
📍 Plaza de la Gavidia, 6
37. Tribeca
Tribeca is a full-fledged party buhaira neighborhood and their work is commendable. The proposal is linked to seasonal products, which is why its menu is renewed with a certain frequency, to which they add certain elaborations outside the menu. The menu, mind you, is served Monday through Friday during lunch hours until 2:30 pm.
A twist on the traditional recipe book using new shapes and textures. A commitment to market cuisine, quality products and high doses of creativity. By far one of the best restaurants in Seville.

📍 c/ López de Arenas, 2
44. Recoveco
Although Recoveco covers a wide culinary proposal, tuna is something like 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.

c/Bartolomé de la Medina, 21 izq
47. ConTenedor
