Of the many wonders the Seville Fair has to offer, the quality of its culinary offerings, however, is not one of them. The Real is synonymous with boldness, festivity, rebujito, and manzanilla, and fortunately, there are plenty of restaurants in the vicinity where you can eat well before heading to the fair.
A dozen restaurants to help you tackle the festive days of the Seville Fair with a belly full of good food.
Ivantxu Espacio Bistronómico
Whether to treat your palate during the fair week or to enjoy exquisite dinners at any other time, Ivantxu should be on your list of top restaurants in the city.
Iván Valero runs this establishment, which has been in business since 2015 and offers modern cuisine featuring seasonal dishes and a carefully selected range of meats and fish.
Some of its classics: cod fritters or txangurro croquettes.
La Salá
When talking about Peruvian restaurants in Seville, La Salá inevitably comes to mind. An 11-year track record and a spacious terrace always packed with diners attest to the success of this spot where you can celebrate Peruvian cuisine.
Refreshing ceviches, anticuchos, or a sensational Lima-style chicken causa that will transport you across the ocean with every bite. Ideal for a break from the usual fare during the fair.
La Carmela
Iván Valero’s second venture opened in 2025 at 27 Monte Carmelo Street. La Carmelá combines haute cuisine in a casual setting featuring a bar, high tables, and a small dining room.
A somewhat casual menu that doesn’t lose sight of the ingredients and technique, with a section dedicated exclusively to pintxos.
You can treat yourself to a cod tortilla al pil pil, one of their daily stews, or try their set menu.
Besana Sevilla
Delicious dishes without pretension, tapas in bites that aren’t just miniatures. Besana Tapas is that spot straddling the line betweenfine diningand traditional tapas. In other words: apork cheek donut, waffles that double as patatas bravas, or a lamb pionono.
The menu is solid, and crowds are flocking to the Real neighborhood.
El Candil
At El Candil, you can choose to enjoy tapas at the bar, at high or low tables; indulge in a relaxed feast in its refined dining room; or celebrate in its intimate private rooms.
Chacinas, fried dishes, shrimp salad, the iconic Iberian sirloin à la Candil, cod loin à la vizcaína… the menu has plenty to offer, though during the Seville Fair it features three special set menus.
Casa Rafel
One of Seville’s most renowned and refined dining establishments is Casa Rafel, where stews are the order of the day and the fried dishes are, as they should be, delicate and light.
It opened its doors in 2017 and remains a go-to spot for those who are wholeheartedly committed to good food, even during the week of the fair.
Jaylu
Jaylu boasts a long history in the city, offering unquestionably high-quality fare since 1977. Exquisite fried dishes, exceptional fish and seafood, and perfectly cooked dishes.
Clams, red shrimp, cod cheeks, baby cuttlefish meatballs in their own ink, langoustine hearts, black rice,…
While you can trust its quality implicitly, it’s not a place for every budget.
Los Cuevas
In its early days, Los Cuevas was a simple neighborhood bar that served Los Remedios quality Andalusian cuisine.
Over the years, it has refined its offerings, becoming one of the go-to restaurants to visit during the week of the Seville Fair.
This place exudes a family atmosphere, offering honest Sevillian cuisine with excellent fried dishes as its hallmark and the promise of a memorable experience to take home. Scrambled eggs, stews, meat, and fish—a melting pot of possibilities to rediscover the flavors of yesteryear.
Sabina Los Remedios
This establishment offers traditional cuisine around the clock, especially during these bustling days. From its signature roast beef to its rice dishes, croquettes, or oxtail. A fantastic option, with an extensive wine list, to fill your belly in Los Remedios.
Malasaña Triana
It opened its doors in 2023 to resounding success. A renovated spot for tapas very close to Los Remedios, without the hustle and bustle typical of fair days.
A playful cuisine with meticulous presentation. You can try their Japanese-style “lagrimitas” (small bites), their “bravas” (spicy potatoes), or the classic brioche with slow-smoked ribs.
El viejo Tito
Viejo Tito delivers exactly what it promises: a bar with traditional cuisine and a traditional look, with a few visual touches to its dishes. It’s open Tuesday through Sunday and offers diners tapas, scrambled eggs, meats, stews, and casseroles—all unpretentious and reasonably priced.
