Seville is a gastronomy lovers dream. The whole city revolves around food and drink culture and the locals live it with a laidback flair that seamlessly combines quality with tradition.
In Andalucia the big winners are anything pork based, with jamon, chorizo and stewed pork in all its glory available in a plethora of varieties. However it doesn’t stop there, with restaurants dominating the food scene with heart stopping fried goodies, cheeses and delicious, yet cheap wines.
The restaurants serving Spanish food either offer gourmet/gastro tapas or very traditional dishes that haven’t changed for years. These are our top picks for the best restaurants in Seville, both traditional and modern/gourmet.
