The crossing comprising the streets Amparo, José Gestoso, Javier Lasso de la Vega, Trajano, Amor de Dios and Jesús del Gran Poder is completed in just 15 minutes and is, in fact, the definitive gastronomic golden mile in Seville.
Paths practically delimit a perimeter inside which some of the best restaurants in the city are tasted.
It is no longer a secret and you don’t need to leave these four streets. In this quadrant the great culinary promises of the city are being gestated.
Perhaps it is no coincidence and, in any case, this handful of restaurants manage the virtue of being on the crest of the wave.
They arrive like water of May, they are diverse, they have room for evolution and, nevertheless, they experience quality, concurrence and absolute feasts. Literally a prophetic journey that you should not miss.
La Casa del Tigre
The journey begins on Amparo Street, where La Casa del Tigre (which, by the way, is premiering its first tasting menu) oozes personality on all four sides .
Chef Luis Plaza is behind this project, which has been stimulating the palate for 5 years with tasty bites.
A succinct menu that illustrates about twenty dishes, a seasonal menu that embraces the history of the tiger and the Sevillian tradition and an appearance that anticipates that you are not in any place although everything looks familiar. Tapas and dishes look youthful with a refined taste.
📍 c/ Amparo, 9 (local b)
Zurbarán Tavern
Spacious terrace, friendly service, very reasonable prices and a traditional cuisine capable of making a difference in a city where, fortunately, many places in the center of town still offer good food.
In Taberna Zurbarán you will eat meatballs to cry, salad, a more than remarkable omelette and other small and medium-sized dishes that will delight anyone without having to spend a fortune.
📍 Zurbarán Square, 2
Cañabota
The sea is the backbone of Cañabota’s proposal, which resembles a sort of haute cuisine fishmonger’s shop. Juan Luis Fernández created in Seville this inspiring and distinguished concept that earned him a Michelin star in 2021.
Marcos Nieto and Rafa García are in charge of this delicate cuisine that works in front of the diner. They have several excellent tasting menus and harmony of wines. Product worked with mastery that is well worth perpetrating a substantial expenditure.
📍 c/ José Gestoso with Orfila, 19
The Cañabota bar
La barra de Cañabota, little brother of the counterpart, is located right next door and brings together the essence of the former assigning more affordable prices to its dishes. Fish and seafood in small format without sacrificing indisputable quality.
📍 c/ Orfila, 5
La Cayetana
Lasso de la Vega starts off in a stream of gastronomic houses. At number 9 La Cayetana is an Andalusian bistro without high flights that dispenses classic recipes. Dishes of profuse flavors to which they print personality with sense.
It looks as warm as its service and food and it is a more than convenient restaurant in relation to quality and price.
📍 c/ Javier Lasso de la Vega, 9
Low Bar
Barra Baja is not one of my favorite restaurants just because. Rafa Liñán and Patricia Moliner may not be prophets of anything, but they still set a path that we would follow to the letter.
This infallible duo emanate the honesty and humility of those who perhaps know they are doing it wonderfully but with no other pretension than to give a good service.
The four hands of Seville is a spectacle. The kitchen in front of the diner (if you choose the bar wisely) is a continuous hoisting of tongs, blowtorch and small pots full of sauces. The dance is hypnotic; it tastes even better.
Is this your first time? Don’t miss the grilled oyster with sherry butter, the roasted leek with yolk, honey and portobellos vinaigrette or the brutal steak tartar.
📍 c/ Javier Lasso de la Vega, 14
Hiyoki
Hiyoki is a neighbor of Barra Baja and one of the best Japanese restaurants in Seville (if not the first of all). It opened its doors in 2018 and its menu integrates the most essential dishes of the Japanese country.
First class fish and seafood that you can taste in tataki, tartar, nigiri, maki, sashimi,… format. The possibilities are extensive and outstanding. In addition, the proposal includes gyozas, tempuras, noodles and ramen.
Indispensable ‘premium’ meats, such as wagyu or Argentinean beef, make the bites at Hiyoki a delight that will captivate you from start to finish.
📍 c/ Javier Lasso de la Vega, 14
Desacato
Desacato is another of the restaurants that encloses this Sevillian gastronomic quadrant. Pablo Carrasco and Guillermo Prado are behind the stoves of this “irreverent cuisine”. In their proposal they link the Andalusian recipe book with Basque influences and a nourished wine reference.
An industrial-style dining room welcomes diners, who will find in this restaurant colorful elaborations, a good number of dishes based on the sea (they even dedicate a chapter to mussels), fish of the day and suggestive options off the menu.
📍 c/ Amor de Dios, 7
Chila
A good Chinese restaurant in Seville was a rara avis until relatively recently. CHILA arrived in the city in 2024 to bring us closer to Hunan cuisine, tasty, smoky and spicy.
The public that congregates here is varied although there is no lack of Asian profiles that anticipate a possible success. And so it is.
Daring palates (even those with a reluctance to chili) will see paradise open before them. The favorite dishes so far are Mao bacon, Yuxiang-style eggplants and pork ear with coriander.
📍 c/ Trajan, 16
Leartá
The gastronomic golden mile in Seville reaches its zenith in one of the newest additions to the city. Leartá is resolved in a few tables and a tasting of 11 passes to which they have managed to communicate the spirit of Andalusian recipes.
Manu Lachica and Rita Llanes are behind this promising project that combines roots and haute cuisine.
From Leartá they claim to be that “meeting place between trades with Andalusian roots, where they reflect on the accent, the hands and the manners”.
📍 c/ Padre Tarín, 6
Marabunda
Marabunda is the opposite of a sterile restaurant. Lively team and atmosphere, cocktails and dishes to lick your lips over and over again. Jesús del Gran Poder celebrates this space that lavishes itself on powerful dishes.
Some of them are reminiscent of an elevated street food, others take you to countries you have not even visited and definitely all of them share a common denominator: care, good taste and potency of flavor. Francis Balongo leads the kitchens of this vibrant restaurant that will shake your senses between bites.
📍 c/ Jesús del Gran Poder, 31
