These are the best restaurants in Andalusia and Seville according to the Macarfi Guide: from Michelin stars to local gems.

Save

Apart from the traditional gastronomic lists, the Macarfi Guide, which has a more local, friendly, and enthusiastic spirit, includes Andalusia among its awards for the second year running. Yesterday, it celebrated its eleventh edition at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, where a large number of awards were presented throughout the entire peninsula, which is already covered by the guide.

This gastronomic guide distinguishes the best restaurants by region, the best new openings of the year nationwide, and classifies, on a local scale, establishments by province, type of cuisine, décor, and service.

It also catalogs them according to their functionality or greatest virtue. In other words, restaurants that are good because they attract a local clientele, have a chef’s table, or specialize in a particular product, among other things.

The 2,000 ambassadors who make up this project have evaluated more than 3,000 restaurants to compile this list.
