Freiduría Puerta de la Carne
There may be nothing more sevillano than fried seafood! You’ll be shocked at how much fresh catch you can get at such a cheap price at your local fry shop. These shops pop up in every neighborhood and most of them are lovely (venture out and find them!).
But Freiduría Puerta de la Carne is one of our favorites. Try the crispy calamari, succulent codfish or the local classic: boquerones en adobo (plump anchovy-sized fish marinated in vinegar, lemon juice and spices). You can get a whole kilo for less than €30!
📍 Where: C. Prta de la Carne, 2, Centro Histórico, Casco Antiguo, 41004 Sevilla, Spain
Casa Moreno
Some of Spain’s best food is cured and preserved. So what better way to get your hands on these snacks than at a shop serving nothing practically else?
Casa Moreno may look like a simple Spanish deli from the outside, but venture back to the bar and find slices of caña de lomo (smoky cured pork loin), local cheeses and a list of spectacular montaditos (small pressed sandwiches) that won’t break the bank. The montadito with tortilla, spicy chorizo, and melted cheese is a must and will only cost you €2.50.
📍 Where: C. Gamazo, 7, Casco Antiguo, 41001 Sevilla, Spain
Antigua Abacería de San Lorenzo
You can shell out a few more euros dining inside with a full menu and beautiful decor at Abacería de San Lorenzo, or you can hang outside and order some of the best montaditos in town. Owner Ramón and his family are sourcing quality products, and it shows.
The montaditos with spicy chorizo and Cabrales cheese or sobrasada with oil-cured black olives and fresh cheese are both spectacular. Wash them all down with a local vermouth or Rioja wine.
📍 Where: C. Teodosio, 53, Casco Antiguo, 41002 Sevilla, Spain
Taberna El Panduro Baños
Taberna El Panduro Baños is an unassuming sit-down spot that features Spanish classics with creative spins. The dining room is cozy, the tapas portions are abundant (€5 on average), and the service is always excellent.
They also have the best ensaladilla in town made with potato, cherry tomato, spicy aioli, tuna loin, and roe. These guys will prove to you that cheap eats in Seville can be exciting and delicious.
📍 Where: C. Baños, 3, Casco Antiguo, 41002 Sevilla, Spain
Duo Tapas/ La Sidonia/ La Terraza
These three modern tapas restaurants sit next to each other in the bustling Alameda neighborhood and share kitchens. That means you can order off three different menus to build your affordably delicious dinner—you just have to ask!
A hefty portion of delicious Asian-inspired tuna tartare, for example, will cost you less than €3, with all of their generously sized tapas never hitting €6.
📍 Dúo Tapas Location: C. Calatrava, 10, Casco Antiguo, 41002 Sevilla, Spain
Bodega Dos De Mayo
Bodega Dos de Mayo is a classy, traditional sevillano restaurant with affordable options for everyone. Bonus: most tapas are under €3!
Try the Andalusian cold tomato soup called salmorejo, coquinas (tiny clams cooked in white wine and garlic), or the pork tenderloin with a spicy mozárabe sauce. And if you’re there on a Sunday, definitely order the rice special.
📍 Where: Pl. de la Gavidia, 6, Casco Antiguo, 41002 Sevilla, Spain
