The perception that it is possible to eat well and cheaply in Seville is not inaccurate. In Seville there is no shortage of restaurants or the possibility of concluding a gastronomic experience with a more than acceptable bill.
However, the number of bars and restaurants per square meter can complicate the task of finding a space that combines good price and quality.
Seville lacks neither one nor the other, so this compilation is not intended to set a standard. These are the favorites of one of my colleagues to pay the right amount, get good quantities and taste flavors that complete the day with a gastronomic smile.
Summer starters, essential tapas and montaditos to lick your lips. We defend that the sybarite must also combine with the essential and not only with the exclusive and these 9 places prove that it is possible to combine exquisiteness with accessibility.
1. Bodeguita Romero: eat good, nice and cheap in Seville.
Bodeguita Romero is one of the most frequented places in the vicinity of the Cathedral. Its iconic corner and picturesque terrace whet anyone’s appetite as they watch tapas parade relentlessly.
These snacks designed to share do not usually exceed 3 € and one can go crazy browsing through the menu of fried foods, cold cuts, meats or cold tapas. The pleasure of going crazy with indecision. Last note: do not leave without trying their pringá.
📍 c/ Harinas, 10
2. Las Golondrinas
Las Golondrinas needs no introduction. The authentic tradition of Triana made local, preserving its characteristic atmosphere and succulent elaborations. One of its most popular tapas are its popular mushrooms with aioli.
Its two always crowded restaurants attest to the quality that is handled here and its popular prices. It is difficult to imagine a better place in Seville in which to eat at a good price dishes of all life.
📍 c/ Antillano Campos, 26 | c/ Pagés del Corro, 76
3. Bodeguita Antonio Romero
The Bodeguita Antonio Romero could be counted by dozens and would still be insufficient to supply locals and visitors. In reality there are 3 places that can be frequented in the city and they are by all means one of the best bars in Seville to eat cheaply without giving up quality tapas.
His montaditos precede him (the pringá or piripi are indispensable) and are paid for less than 3 € but not their cheeks, croquettes and daily stews do not detract from the mention.
📍 c/ Antonia Díaz, 19 | c/ Antonia Díaz, 5 | c/ Arfe, 32A
4. Bar Alfalfa
Thinking of places to eat cheaply in Seville with high quality standards means referring us to this iconic neighborhood bar of the same name: the Alfalfa. A culinary nook that continues to attract locals and outsiders alike. Its corner is emblematic as well as its coveted tapas and cheeses.
A relaxed atmosphere paired with good dishes at unquestionably accurate prices are the cornerstone of this space. And the prices of their food do not exceed 5 euros.
📍 c/ Candilejo, 1
5. Casa Manolo
Also in the heart of the Alfalfa, but with a good terrace to let yourself fall into, Casa Manolo is another formidable option.
In this case, the stew of the day does not reach 5 euros and they offer other notable recipes such as sirloinsteak with whiskey, Seville marinade or fried cuttlefish.
📍Plaza de la Alfalfa, 3
6. Your tortilla
Tu tortilla is born as the first space where the customer configures his own potato omelette.
The diner chooses from the size (they have up to three different diameters), the potato or sweet potato base, the type of meat, a maximum of two vegetables you want to introduce in your omelette, plus a sauce. All this from 4,5 €.
📍 c/ San Eloy, 31
7. Bodega Santa Cruz – Las Columnas
In these times, few virtues are more valued in Seville than eating at a good price in genuine places, with character and purely Sevillian spirit.
This lively bodega has everything you would expect from a city like Seville: exquisite tapas, cold beer, orders written down with chalk and care and Sevillian spirit on all four sides.
📍c/ Rodrigo Caro, 1
8. La Taberna del Porvenir
Under the premise that almost all the tapas are under 3 euros, few things can go wrong. Well, if the food wasn’t good, of course.
But this is not the case of the Taberna del Porvenir, which for years has been serving a wide variety of delicious tapas at reasonable prices, so that the price does not have to be more than ten euros. Among its star dishes is the pork tenderloin carbonara.
📍 Pl. Vicente Aleixandre, 20
9. Petra
In this house you can taste one of the best potato omelettes served in the capital of Seville. Here they prepare it with onion confit and aioli and the dish does not reach 12 euros.
In addition, its variety of tapas and portions will delight anyone and are perfect options to share flavor without breaking the bank.
📍 c/ Alfalfa, 5
10. El Rincón del Tito
El Rincón del Tito, has an excellent location next to the mushrooms and the nerve center of the city, but is also sheltered in a charming little corner and a large terrace. Among its virtues is the price of their elaborations but especially the quality.
They propose different fried fish but their menu also includes irresistible dishes such as sirloin with whiskey, croquettes or mussels with béchamel. Everything and that their hearty breakfasts deserve no less attention.
📍 c/ Escuelas Pías, 10
11. Freiduría Puerta de la Carne
One of the best pescaítos fritos in Seville is still prepared in this classic at Puerta de la Carne. How much are the fried fish?
The pavías de bacalao, for example, are sold at 2 euros per unit and the rest of the proposals start from 4 euros and go by weight.
Our favorites are the marinade, anchovies and choco. You can have it on the spot or take it home in cartridge format.
📍 Puerta de la Carne, 2
12. Bar Cibeles 2
Another culinary reference that will get you so satiated that you will go directly to a solicitous siesta is Bar Cibeles 2. Its heaping sandwiches do not reach 7 euros and among its menu the diner will find all the options that he craves at more than reasonable prices.
By the way, its serranito continues to enjoy great fame among the Sevillians and it is not for less.
📍 c/ Justino Matute, 12
13. Dos de Mayo Winery
Our mouths (and stomachs) are full talking about this place located between the Alameda and the Campana. The Plaza de la Gavidia is home to Bodega Dos de Mayo, its large terrace and its justified waiting lists. And here you will taste traditional food of exquisite quality, but also particular elaborations that give it the point of distinction that this restaurant can boast.
The best of all is that you can get your boots on and pay very little. The sirloin steak with whiskey is one of our favorites in Seville and its potato omelette is not far behind.
📍 c/ Plaza de la Gavidia, 6
14. Patio San Eloy
Why is it that the Patio de San Eloy attracts so many diners? Possibly because of the relaxed atmosphere of all the restaurants in the city and because of the prices of its tapas and montaditos (small sandwiches). A classic that does not fail if you are looking for cheap food in Seville and that this 2022 celebrates its 50th anniversary in style.
📍 c/ Cuna, 5 | c/ San Eloy, 5 | c/ Mateos Gago, 4 | c/ San Jacinto, 16 | c/ Alhóndiga, 14
15. La gorda gives you to eat
You won’t find any place where eating well in Seville is so extraordinarily cheap. La gorda’s menu is as extensive as it is acceptable, tasty and varied dishes in various locations in the city. And the best news:tapas will cost you 2, 3, 4 euros, at most.
As you might expect, getting a seat on the weekend can be a challenge. Some of their iconic tapas are the patatas bravas, the macaroni with mushroom sauce or the Russian steak with almond sauce.
📍 Plaza de la Encarnacion s/n | Paseo de Catalina de Ribera, 5 | Paseo de las Delicias, 3 | c/ San Pablo, 4 | c/ Adriano, 5
16. At the corner of the street
In a corner of the Alfalfa En la espero te esquina reserves one of the experiences, still local, more satisfying of Seville. The predominant reason? Its mantecaíto of sirloin with whiskey.
Another good reason to drop by this bar is the price of its tapas and sandwiches. One of the best places to eat cheaply in Seville without leaving the city center.
