How to lunch like a local in Seville<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lunchtime in Seville is typically from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., although most bars and restaurants will open their doors by 1 p.m. so guests can sneak in a ca\u00f1a<\/em> or two before their meal. Make sure to prep for this later lunchtime by embracing the Spanish meal schedule, including a leisurely breakfast and a post-breakfast, or pre-lunch, snack to tide you over.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most places in Seville don\u2019t take reservations, so you\u2019ll want to check the restaurant\u2019s hours beforehand. Try not to arrive right in the middle of their lunch schedule unless you\u2019re prepared to wait a little bit at the bar or outside the restaurant, albeit drink in hand, for a table!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you look around you at other diners, most will have either a small beer, a tinto de verano<\/em>, or a glass of wine in hand, but it\u2019s just as common to order a soft drink or sparkling or still water.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing hits the spot better than tinto de verano on a hot Seville summer day.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Local\u2019s Tip: <\/strong>Ask for a vaso de agua<\/em>, or tap water, if you don\u2019t want to pay for a bottle. When it comes time to order, you\u2019ll usually have the option of either handpicking an array of tapas<\/a> to share, or the menu del d\u00eda<\/a><\/em>, which is a daily set menu with a wallet-friendly price that usually includes two different dishes, a dessert and a drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 best spots for lunch in Seville<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Bodeguita Antonio Romero<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A Seville mainstay through and through, Bodeguita Antonio Romero<\/a> is where you\u2019ll find a perfect sampling of all of the city\u2019s most traditional dishes, including their two most renowned montaditos<\/em>, or small sandwiches: the pring\u00e1<\/em> and the pir\u00edpi<\/em>. While you playfully argue over which is better, be sure to also order a tapa of tortilla al whisky<\/em> and espinacas con garbanzos<\/em>, as well as a plate of the chocos fritos <\/em>(fried cuttlefish). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heads up: They\u2019ve got multiple locations, but we prefer the one tucked away into a corner on Calle Harinas, with its jovial waitstaff and authentic ambiance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tapas,
Espinacas con garbanzos<\/em>, or spinach and chickpeas, is one of the tastiest ways to get your veggie fix.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Las Golondrinas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The neighborhood of Triana is essentially a city inside of the city\u2014with enough restaurants of its own to be worthy of an article dedicated to it<\/a>\u2014but if you can only eat at one place, go to Las Golondrinas<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bar\u2019s specialty is its punta de solomillo<\/em>, a thin slice of pork atop a piece of fresh bread. While it sounds simple, it will delight your taste buds in ways they\u2019ve never known. (You\u2019re going to want to order more than one per person, trust us.)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To accompany it, grab a tapa of the mushroom caps topped with a flavorful green garlic sauce, and the chipirones a la plancha <\/em>(grilled squid), too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Grilled
It’s hard to pick a favorite tapa in Seville, but the puntas de solomillo<\/em> at Las Golondrinas are definitely up there. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Salsamento<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your trip to Seville wouldn\u2019t be complete without trying a variety of quesos<\/em>, chacina<\/em>, and conservas<\/em>\u2014or cheeses, cured meats, and preserved seafood\u2014at Salsamento<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veritable experts on charcuterie and wine, this stylish restaurant\u2019s menu has something for every type of palate, from tame to adventurous. Our favorites include the cured payoya cheese with rosemary, the chili-spiced goat\u2019s cheese, the chicharrones de C\u00e1diz <\/em>(slow-roasted pork belly) and the spicy preserved sardines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mussels
Salsamento is our go-to spot for classic tapas with a gourmet twist.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Al Ajibe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The feel of an upscale dining experience, but with bargain prices, Al Ajibe<\/a> is the place to go for Spanish food with a twist. This restaurant, located in Seville\u2019s bohemian Alameda neighborhood, is home to the city\u2019s tastiest risotto and barbecue ribs. But we also love the tataky de at\u00fan<\/em>, grilled salmon with avocado mayonnaise and pork shoulder served with potatoes, mojo pic\u00f3n<\/em>, and pimientos del padr\u00f3n<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local\u2019s Tip:<\/strong> They have an upstairs terrace, but you can\u2019t order tapas if you sit there, so grab a seat outside or inside on the main level to get to taste more of what they have to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Cigala de Oro<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve come for for seafood, look no further than Cigala de Oro<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situated between the city center and the main train station, Santa Justa, this family-style restaurant is great for groups, serving up big plates of both fried and grilled seafood at modest prices that will have you rubbing your eyes in disbelief.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start off with the salpic\u00f3n de marisco<\/em>, a seafood salad served cold, before diving into generous plates of shrimp fritters, caz\u00f3n en<\/em> adobo <\/em>(marinated fried fish), <\/em>garlic shrimp, puntillitas<\/em> (baby squid) and more of those crowd-pleasing chocos fritos<\/em>. Given its off-the-beaten-tourist-path location, you\u2019ll get a bona fide Spanish dining experience\u2014and likely be the only non-locals in the entire place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fried
Despite its inland location, Seville still enjoys some of the freshest fish in Spain.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Insider\u2019s Tip:<\/strong> If you fancy a change from Spanish cuisine, don\u2019t worry\u2014we\u2019ve got you covered there, too. Dig into finger-licking-good tacos at Mano de Santo<\/a>, the city\u2019s best burger at Atticus Finch<\/a>, homemade pasta that will make you forget you\u2019re not in Italy at La Locanda di Andrea<\/a>, and the generous men\u00fa del d\u00eda<\/em> of Japanese cuisine at Hiyoki<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
