Seville Food & Tapas Tours
Seville is where tapas became a way of life: you go out for the tapeo, moving bar to bar under the orange trees, from Triana to the Alfalfa, on salmorejo, spinach with chickpeas and a copa of fino. This is our Seville hub. Below are the top-rated food experiences in the city, then our tapas tours page and the Jerez sherry day trip.

The tapeo
In Seville you do not sit down to a meal so much as go out for tapas, ir de tapeo, moving from bar to bar with a drink and a plate at each. The Andalusian canon is its own: salmorejo, the thick cold tomato soup; espinacas con garbanzos, spinach with chickpeas, a Moorish inheritance; pescaíto frito, the fried fish of the coast; carrillada, braised pork cheek; and montaditos, little filled rolls. You pay for your tapas here, unlike Granada. A tapas tour, often combined with flamenco, is the way in; see Seville tapas tours.
Where to eat
Triana, across the river, is the old ceramics and flamenco quarter with a covered market and a run of classic bars. The Alfalfa and Santa Cruz in the centre are the tourist heart but still have real tabernas. The Mercado de Feria is the city’s oldest market; the Lonja del Barranco by the river is the polished gourmet hall.
Sherry country
Jerez, the capital of sherry, is about an hour from Seville by train, and a bodega day trip is one of the best food excursions in Andalusia; see Jerez sherry tours.

FAQ about Seville Food & Tapas Tours
Frequently asked questions
Why Seville for food?
Because the whole city eats standing up in the evening, the Andalusian dishes are its own, and the sherry country is an hour down the line.
Is Seville good for food?
Yes, and distinctively Andalusian: cold soups, fried fish, sherry, and a tapeo culture that is the most social in Spain.
Are tapas free in Seville?
No; that is a Granada and León custom. In Seville you order and pay, though it is cheap.
Can I do a sherry tour from Seville?
Yes; Jerez is an hour away by train and bodega day trips run daily. See Jerez sherry tours.
