Barra Baja
Barra Baja’s torrija has quickly become one of our favorites. In general, its cuisine encourages you to salivate immediately and this sweet proposal, one of the 5 that make up its sweet chapter, will delight the diner to end his experience in this restaurant.
Yes, we say it: the potential of Barra Baja is undeniable and its torrija (attentive: caramelized with orange sorbet) deserves a space before asking for the bill.
La Torrijada
Within the logic that torrijas pursue in Seville (to transcend beyond the season), it did not catch anyone by surprise that a space dedicated to this sweet dish opened in Seville.
La Torrijada landed in the city with this promise: to offer a wide variety of homemade torrijas all year round. The showcases are full of versions, gluten-free and vegan options, and the possibility of adding toppings as you imagine.

Ispal
One of the best restaurants in Seville, also known for carrying by flag a 100% Sevillian cuisine with products from the province, could not do without one of the favorite desserts of the capital and Andalusia: the torrija.
His, under the name incense of orange blossom, is a morsel of gods made with clove crumble and incense smoke. An ode to Easter straight to the palate.
📍 Plaza de San Sebastián, 1
Perro Viejo
The restaurant’s entire menu is a delicacy but, undoubtedly, one of the most claimed desserts is the torrija with ice cream on tiramisu base. A generous brioche bread accompanied by this succulent combination of flavors. Perfect for sharing, as the essence of the Tu hogar fuera de casa restaurant group dictates.
We do not know whether to classify them as the best torrijas of Seville, although they have earned over the years the deserved applause of the gastronomic public.
📍 c/ Arguijo, 3
Lalita Café
At Lalita Café they make torrijas that rock. This pastry shop is a pastry and confectionery reference in Seville and they offer different kinds of torrijas (even vegan). You can grab a snack in tune with Lent or take a few with you. They come in trays of four units and are limited.

Maria Trifulca
That it stands out for its incredible location and scandalous views doesn’t surprise us. But to culminate a meal with a torrija that takes your breath away is a big word. There is no doubt, its torrija is so excellent that it competes to be one of the best dishes on the menu.
📍 Bridge of Triana, Plaza del Altozano
Six
Our favorite dessert is one of the attractions of this centrally located restaurant. In this case, they propose a cookie cake style torrija with vanilla ice cream. It will make you salivate even with your eyes and they are, without a doubt, one of the best torrijas in Seville.
In addition, Seis is (in our opinion) one of the most romantic restaurants in the city to enjoy an evening as a couple.
📍 Plaza Nueva, 7

They have them in all types and colors: classic milk or wine, in sliced bread. Their recommendation: Torrija “de la abuela”, with traditional extra-large bread.

It is known for being the oldest mantecaos factory in Estepa, although they also make typical Lenten sweets. Naturally, torrijas are a must.

Manu Jara is one of our favorite bakeries in Seville. It’s worth a visit to any of their spaces this time of year just for their torrijas.
The classic wine and honey one is made with palo cortao and honey from the Sierra de Aracena and they are a must this season.
In Manu Jara propose every year a good assortment that will not leave indifferent to any palate, the best torrijas of Seville in one of the most solicitous sweet spaces.

Its philosophy consists of elaborating products as in the old days, with the best raw materials. In this pastry shop in Seville you have from the classic honey torrijas to the new milk torrijas.
