Seville Restaurants
When visiting Seville you should spend plenty time wandering its tapas bars
as this is the best city in the world to sample a great selection of these
Spanish dishes. However, many visitors can soon become overfaced with the idea
of wandering from bar to bar whilst rarely managing to get a seat so it's a good
idea to plan a few meals in some Seville restaurants. Many tapas bars also have
a dining room so there often isn't a strict distinction between what is a tapas
bar and what is a restaurant so be sure to also take a look at our recommended
Seville tapas bars.
Below we've selected a good range of restaurants in Seville that are worth
considering and have ordered them according to location. Where possible we've
included their website address where you can often find a sample menu of the
restaurant.
El Centro | El Arenal District |
Barrio Santa Cruz & Cathedral Area |
Barrio Triana & River Area | Alfalfa & Plaza del Salvador
| Santa Catalina | Alameda, San
Lorenzo & Macarena Districts | Elsewhere
The majority of these Seville restaurants serve typical Andalucian and Spanish
cuisine although there are a few here offering more creative dishes if you're
looking for something a little different.
Referring to "El Centro" might be rather vague but for the purpose of this
listing of recommended tapas bars we're referring to the area around c/Sierpes
and c/Tetuan where you'll find most of Seville's main shopping streets.
