There are countless tapas bars, and here are some that serve the best tapas in Seville, and that we like the most:
Bartolomea – Calle Pastor y Landero 10
Remember La Brunilda, the busiest restaurant in Seville, that even the locals don’t visit often anymore?

This is a place mainly visited by Sevillan residents. There are not many tourists around, but still, it is a great choice for those who are really into experiencing the authenticity of Spanish culture.

Mariatrifulca – Puente de Triana Corner Plaza del Altozano
Another so-called ‘’mid-range’’ restaurant in terms of price, and still one of the coziest places to eat in Seville. Whether choosing tuna tataki, mushroom risotto, or croquettes, it is frequent that guests over-order.
