With snails happens the same as with anchovies, blue cheese, anchovies or cilantro: you either love them or you hate them. There are many who do not take well the fact of crossing the gullet with something slimy that tends to slide on every surface. However, there are a lot of people who delight in this delicacy, the undisputed cap of spring: snails and cabrillas. Lovers of gastropods, you are in luck because we are going to tell you where to have the best snails in Seville.
1. Pepe Cruz Brewery ‘Casa Pepito’.
Spices, garlic and mint are the basic elements of this delicacy. Such is its success that between 100 and 120 kilos of snails can be served per day.
📍 c/ Previsión, 8
2. El tremendo
El Tremendo is a bastion of Sevillian gastronomy, an undisputed temple of beer and one of the first references you have when you think of snails in Seville. Its cabrillas recipe is at the height in any of its two premises, the one in the center of the city or the one in Previsión street.
📍 c/ Previsión, 10 | c/ San Felipe, 13
3. Remesal Brewery
This traditional bar in Triana is the best option for all those who enjoy some good boquerones, some rich gambas al ajillo or some snails, which if they are not the best of Seville, they are possibly the best of Triana. They are served with a perfect seasoning.
📍 c/ Pureza, 64
4. Bar Elcano the snails
To go to Heliópolis to taste its snails and cabrillas is a springtime necessity. The visit is completed with a tapa from the menu on the large terrace.
📍 c/ Corbeta, 7
5.El Menta
It is one of the most mythical bars of Seville East, which stands out especially for its serranito. It is rare that you enter the bar and do not see plates of snails and cabrillas on the table. No wonder, since the cabrillas are served with a sauce 100% suitable for dipping bread.
📍 c/ Cueva de Menga
6. Casa Ruperto Bar
This bar has been offering for years and years its two great specialties: quails (it may be the place in Seville where they are best prepared) and in summer the snails and cabrillas with tomato sauce.One of its virtues, as well as a defect, is that they are so light that you can eat five dishes in one sitting and still want more.
📍 Cecilia Avenue
7. La Chicotá
In case anyone is not familiar with the jargon of Holy Week, a chicotá is a stretch of road made by the costaleros carrying the paso, but it is also a small bar in Seville at number 23 Luis Montoto . It fulfills all the requirements of a bar of solera and, in addition, they prepare exquisite snails.
📍c/ Luis Montoto, 23
8. Casa Paco Los Caracoles
It would be a crime that, baptized with this name, does not have the best snails of Seville. When the summer arrives it is one of the best terraces in which to enjoy the sun and its good ration of snails accompanied with a beer.
📍 c/ Ruecas, 1
9. La Retama Tavern
It is a very recommendable place for all those gourmets. The baby squid in green sauce and the duck foie are delicious, but the tapa of cabrillas with almonds has nothing to envy them.
📍 c/ Doña María Coronel, 17
10. El coli
In the vicinity of the Sánchez Pizjuán, El Coli is positioned as a snail reference place. Here snails are only served when they are good.
📍 c/ Padre Campelo, 4
