Seville - RESTAURANTS

Eating out is a way of life in Seville, whether in a smart contemporary restaurant serving innovative modern dishes, or a more traditional tiled establishment offering carillada and fried fishj.

Restaurants are more formal, with smarter decor, and full-size portions, although even the smartest places will still offer tapas.

Bear in mind that people don't go out to eat dinner until around 9pm.

Restaurants by District

Triana

Maria Trifulga
Occupying one of the city's most stunning locations right on the river, this upmarket bar-restaurant occupies three floors next to Triana bridge, opposite the market. Downstairs is cozy with brick vaults, ground level has a bar with stools and high tables, and upstairs is the jewel: a big open terrace with views up and down the river. Seafood is the star on the menu, with pricey but good tapas including excellent tuna tartare.
Puente de Triana, Esquina Plaza de Altozano. Tel: 954 33 03 47

De La O
Creative and original dishes emerge from the kitchen hatch, halfway down this long, narrow space (formerly a motorbike garage) on the riverfront near the Puente de la Expiración. Local ingredients, such as sustainably bred fish from nearby Veta La Palma in Seville province, are protagonists.
Pages del Corro 90, Sevilla. Tel: 954 347 434

Arenal

Petit Comte
Sophisticated, elegant décor and select menu (octopus and duck and both recommended) at this excellent small restaurant near the Maestranza concert hall. Good puddings too, especially the home-made ice-cream.
Calle Dos de Mayo 30, Sevilla. Tel: 954 229 595

La Brunilda and Bartolomea
From the same team, these modern casual places, both near the Arenal market, offer reliably good tapas - risotto of Idiazabal cheese and burrata salad, with simple but stylish interiors. La Brunilda always has a queue already waiting outside its bright blue door when it opens.
Calle Galera 5. Tel: 954 22 04 81
Pastor y Landero 10, 955 234 370

Alfalfa

Fargo
Organic restaurant with wide menu embracing fish, meat, pasta and rice, as well as fresh juices. Prices are on the high side, but the quality is undeniable. Natural wines too. Relaxing ambience with low lighting and soft music.
Calle Pérez Galdós 20, Tel: 955 27 65 52.

Sal Gorda
One of Seville's best small restaurants, with treats like tuna tartare and ajoblanco (chilled almond soup), this has a modern interior with huge windows and a small terrace off a pedestrianised street - it used to be a shoe shop.
Calle Alcaicería de la Loza 23, Tel: 955 385 972.

Mia Tana
If you need a break from Andalucian dishes and want something more predictable, head for this popular, cosy place (your neighbour will be close enough for footsie) where pizzas and calzones will keep all ages happy.
Perez Galdos 28, Sevilla. Tel: 954 226 897

Centre - Plaza Nueva and around

Mamarracha
Between the cathedral and Plaza Nueva, Mamarracha offers an industrial-chic interior, and charcoal grilled meat as its star attraction. The lively vibe suits lunch or dinner with friends, especially in the booth-ish section at the back. Good choice of Andalucian wines and sherries.
Calle Hernando Colón 1-3, Tel: 955 12 39 11

Seis
Serving consistently good tapas - Malaysian vegetable curry and crab tacos are two stand-outs - this spacious spot on Plaza Nueva feels a cut above, with slick service and a tropical jungly interior. Try the exotic auteur cocktails - Arabian Night or Silk Road - beautifully presented and tastebud-tingling.
Plaza Nueva 7, Tel: 955 44 00 30.

Lobo Lopez
In a small plaza between shopping streets, this fun place is open all day, from breakfast toast, to lunch, afternoon cake-and-smoothie stops, cocktails and dinner. Try the lobster dog and vegan coconut taco.
Calle Rosario 15, Tel: 854 70 58 34

Ispal
In the unlikely surroundings of Prado de San Sebastian bus station, this alta cocina place, part of the La Raza group, serves up innovative dishes using ingredients from Seville, from suckling pig to Guadalquivir river sturgeon caviar, and inspired by its traditions  - try the imaginative set menu, taking you on a tour of the province. Great selection of Andalucian wines.
Plaza San Sebastian 1, Tel: 955 547 127

Alameda / Macarena

La Azotea
A game-changer in Seville restaurants, this opened in 2011 with creative dishes using premium ingredients, at correspondingly lofty prices. You can sit in a sound-proofed glass booth inside the kitchen, for a close-up view of the action. Branches in Zaragoza and Mateos Gago (with outside seating), as well as a wine bar. Favourites includes baby clams with artichokes; great wine list too.
Conde de Barajas 13, Zaragoza 5c, and Mateos Gago 8. Tel: 954 116 748

Edicion Limitada
Somewhat in the shadow of its more high-profile neighbour La Azotea, this place offers interesting tapas and excellent service, with slightly austere decor - the charming chef-owner himself is often around and loves to meet and greet customers. Try the squid carpaccio with apple, or sea bass with sauteed wheat berries.
Calle Conde de Barajas 20, Tel: 955 51 34 63

ConTenedor
The city's first slow food, km 0 restaurant, ConTenedor opposite baroque symphony San Luis church, was a trendsetter. With abstract art on the walls and an extensive wine list from the local area, it only serves portions, no tapas. Try the duck rice.
Calle San Luis 50, Tel: 954 91 63 33
