Top 10 Cafés & Tapas Bars
-
1. Cervecería Giralda
This elegant establishment is built inside an ancient Moorish hammam (baths). It’s a pleasant stop, with an excellent view of La Giralda (see Seville Cathedral & La Giralda).
-
2. Barbacoa Coloniales
On a pleasant square, between the Iglesia San Salvador and the Convento de Santa Paula, lies this old-fashioned bar. The walls are decorated with faded photos of Seville in an earlier era.
-
3. Patio San Eloy
Large and noisy, this place captures the genuine feel of old Seville, everyone drinking and snacking with animation.
-
4. Gran Tino
This enjoyable square’s best-known bar offers outside seating and an interesting range of refreshments. It’s particularly appealing on Sunday mornings, when there’s a colourful pet market here.
-
5. Bar San Lorenzo
Virtually the same since it opened in 1893; expect a littered floor, old wood, lots of regulars and some choice comestibles. An Alameda district institution.
-
6. La Ilustre Víctima
The name, “The Illustrious Victim”, refers, of course, to the bull. Murals on the walls and a laidback ambience make it a favourite hangout for writers who frequent the Alameda district.
-
7. La Alicantina
Great outdoor seating on the terrace and some delectable seafood delicacies to savour as you watch the hubbub on this busy square.
-
8. Plata
La Macarena district’s modern choice for breakfast. It’s right next to the equally modern basilica, where the revered La Macarena holds court.
-
9. El Tejar
This tile-covered café is a fine vantage point in the Barrio de Triana from which to watch the world go by. In the evenings, the owners sometimes mount flamenco shows, and often display the works of local artists.
-
10. Bar Bistec
The “Steak Bar” is another characteristic Triana venue, traditional and full of local colour. It stays open late, as does almost everything in Andalucía.
