Where to Eat in Seville, Spain
Seville is a great city in Spain to try all sorts of tapas. From no-frills neighborhood spots to a much-needed gelato break, these are the restaurants that we enjoyed on our travel to Seville.
Blanco Paloma
My favorite dish was the langostinos con aguacate, which was shrimp and avocado seared in garlicky olive oil served on a sizzling hot plate. It was worth risking my minor avocado allergy for it, especially since I haven’t had any reactions from the avocados in Spain. The salmorejo con guarnición was also enjoyable here.
Bar Amarra
This place is famous for their deep fried baby shrimp fritter that they call the tortillitas de camarones. Have it as a snack with some cold drink.
Bar Casa Ruperto
Bar Casa Ruperto is a no-frills, no-nonsense old-school bar. They write your bill on the chalkboard behind them, and you can cash out after you’ve had your fill of their delicious tapas. At Bar Casa Ruperto, we ordered caracoles snails cooked two ways and fried quail to start, and posted up at one of the standing tables outside. For our second round, we added the toasted Montadito con Jamón sandwich to our chalkboard tab just to have some carbs. Highly recommend the snails that come in the broth if they are in season here.
Bodeguita Romero
My favorite here was the chuletas de cordero lechal, a simply seasoned suckling lamb chop cooked to tender perfection. The runner-up was the carrilera iberica, which is a stewed Iberian pork cheek that melted in my mouth. Iberian pigs are a black pig that is native to the Iberian peninsula and are sometimes referred to as the “Wagyu of Pork”; therefore are a must-try in Spain.
We saw everyone order a pringa and since it was only a few euros at the time, we copied them. The pringa is a sandwich with tender pork cooked in fat, and the smaller size (in comparison to American sandwiches) makes it easy to add to any meal.
Gelato at Mito’s
Need a cold snack? Stop here to get a gelato. I had a pistachio gelato with a cookie and it revitalized my soul.
Snacks at the Local Markets
Last but not least, a trip is not complete without snacking at the local markets. Check out Mercado de Triana and Mercado de la Encarnación. We ordered a fried fish sampler, and our favorites from the platter were the boquerones (fresh anchovies) and the cod.
