Bajo Guia | Azahar Sevilla Tapas

Updated December 2022

The name Bajo Guía comes from the famous riverside street in Sanlucar de Barrameda, Bajo de Guía or Pilot’s Wharf, and this excellent restaurant specialises in the fish and seafood cuisine of that town. The original Bajo Guía was in Bermejales in south Sevilla, but a couple of years ago the team moved to this new location near the bullring, and are now doing nicely. There’s a small area in the entrance for tapas, and upstairs dining room and a small side walk terrace.

It is primarily a restaurant but much of the menu is available as tapas in the front area by the bar – and very good it is too. Everything from the tomato salad through boquerones fritos, tortillita de camarones (a speciality) and both whole and sliced fried choco (cuttlefish), to tuna in a delicious tomato sauce as well as “a la sal”, are among the best I’ve had. Service is great too, with waiters happy to make recommendations and be attentive without being intrusive. Nice wine list with regional and national references, and a good selection of sherry too.
