Seville is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain and a great destination to visit when spending time in the Andalucia region. There are lots of wonderful attractions and sites to visit in the city, such as the beautiful Seville Cathedral and the iconic Plaza de España. But there are also plenty of excellent locations to enjoy a bite to eat in Seville once you have finished exploring. If you are planning a visit to Seville, perhaps via a car hire from Malaga airport, read on to discover some of the best restaurants, cafes, and spots to grab a tasty bite to eat.

Casa Morales

Casa Morales, which opened all the way back in 1850, is situated opposite the impressive Seville Cathedral and has hardly changed since it opened its doors all those years ago. Open for lunch, dinner, and drinks, this traditional tapas bar is always bustling with locals enjoying a bite of tasty Spanish food or a lovely glass of sherry. Casa Morales has a great atmosphere, and you have a choice of two seating areas to enjoy, the high-ceilinged bar or the rustic backroom of this ex-winery. Make sure to try the carrillada (braised pork cheek) and the deep-fried croquettes, stuffed with ham and cheese for tasty tapas done right.

La Sede

With a plethora of five-star reviews and ranked as the number one restaurant according to TripAdvisor, La Sede is definitely a spot to note down when it comes to dining in Seville. Serving up delicious Mediterranean cuisine, this friendly bar is run by three brothers and the atmosphere they have cultivated never fails to draw in wandering visitors and local customers returning to their favourite haunt. With a range of sublime tapas waiting to be enjoyed, including the much-loved pork belly, as well as a great list of top wines and sherry, you won’t want your time at La Sede to be a one-time experience. Great food, great service, and a healthy dose of Spanish charm. What’s not to love?

El Rinconcillo

Seville is replete with so much history to discover but the links to the past don’t stop with magnificent tourist sites as the historic tavern, El Rinconcillo, opened its doors to the public back in 1670. This is Seville’s oldest tavern and its storied premises have been welcoming loyal patrons throughout its nearly 400-year lifespan. Its menu is packed full of awesome tapas options and traditional Andalucian main courses, all served up in its rustic-chic dining room amid an understated environment or at its comfortable mosaic-tiled bar. It’s the perfect spot for a Sunday meal or pre-dinner drinks on a weekday evening after taking in the sights of the city. Discover a taste of old Seville and add this spot to your to-do list.

Paulina, from the travel blog, Visit Southern Spain, has highlighted El Rinconcillio as a top choice and has shared her thoughts as well as some dishes of note: “Considered to be the oldest tapas bar in Seville (opened in 1670), El Rinconcillo is a place for those who want to fuse elegant and luxurious food taste with the old, yet verified reputation with the price range from €20 to €40. We are talking about first-class garbanzos, tuna steaks, and many other dishes worthy of a Michelin star.”

Burro Canaglia Bar&Resto

It’s not just delicious Andalucian cuisine to look forward to during your time in Seville, there is a wonderful opportunity to sit down to an Italian feast at the brilliant Burro Canaglia Bar&Resto. One of the most highly rated restaurants in the city, this Italian bistro bucks tradition when it comes to its recipes but the food it produces can’t be denied. The line-up of must-try risottos is alone worthy of a reservation, from black truffle risotto with free range-egg to an Indonesian variety with exquisite, lacquered duck. Add this to a collection of excellent cocktails and reasonable prices, what’s not to like?

Bodeguita Romero

For some of Seville’s most iconic bites and traditional tapas offerings, making a point to sit down for a plate of tasty cuisine at Bodeguita Romero is a must. Serving what many believe to be the very best sandwiches in the city, as well as a menu of regional dishes, this wood-panelled bar with terrace tables is the perfect spot to relax with good company and good food. Perhaps the biggest draw at Bodeguita Romero is their montadito de pringá, a delicious sandwich filled with stewed pork, chorizo and blood sausage – it is one of Seville’s most traditional tapas offerings. Some say this is the best pringá in the city so why not see what all the fuss is about during your stay in Seville?

Mandy and Chris, from the travel blog, Almost Landing, say: “We had one of our best evenings at Bodequita Romero.” They have also offered a few recommendations based on their evening enjoying the amazing food served up: “We definitely recommend trying the house marinated potatoes served cold (Potas Alinas), a standout dish. We also loved the slow-cooked pork cheek (carrillada), spinach and chickpea stew (Espinacas con Garbanzos), Montadito de Pringá (pork and blood sausage sandwich) and delicious butter cured manchego cheese.”
