Experience

If you want to do the whole tour you probably won’t need to eat more than one tapa in each bar- or better still if you’re a couple share two. Just grazing like this is very common. Locals often go bar hop – sampling a favourite dish in each place. The following five places take in some of Jeremy’s favourite locales in the evenings. Jeremy has made a point of choosing places that track a nice middle ground between being untouristy and offering great food without being too difficult to manage if you don’t speak Spanish. You do need to be a little pushy if they are busy though or you won’t get noticed. A top tip is to stand and eat at the bar. It’s much easier to grab the bar tender’s attention that way! Start early for Seville – say 9pm – before places get too busy. Most bars are open daily except Sundays. Few take credit cards so have some cash handy. Jeremy wouldn’t recommend doing this tour on a Sunday as quite a number of places tend to close on Sunday evenings

Route

La Azotea

The tapas here are sensational and it’s one of my favourite tapas restaurants. Prices are a touch higher than many other places, but once you’ve tried the food you’ll be happy you spent the extra Euros.

Casa Morales

One of the most atmospheric old bars in the city. Food here is excellent but finding a table can be a challenge. Come early.

Bar Europa

You’ll get top notch food here. If you sit outside you sometimes have to work hard to get a waiter’s attention.

Bar Alfalfa

A classic local joint, this place is tiny and boisterous. Great fun. Pay careful attention to your map when you leave here to find the final stop. It’s not far but the streets are a bit confusing.

El Rinconcillo

Dusty old bottles line the shelves, the walls are tiled in traditional fashion, the tapas are tasty.

Practicalities

  • Sevillians tend to eat late for both lunch and dinner. So it makes sense to set out a little earlier than the locals so it’s easier to get served. All these places are very popular with locals
