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.

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.

The Alfalfa & Plaza del Salvador

This is an area well worth discovering if you’re keen to find some excellent tapas bars. Find Plaza del Salvador on your map and head east to get there.

Unfortunately there are not many restaurants in this area.
