Truly a hidden gem, outside the usual “rutas de tapas”, but its reputation has made Eslava one of the most popular tapas bars in Sevilla. I’d been trying to go to this place for years, but it was always packed out every time I happened by. And then I finally found out why – it is totally charming and has the best quality for price ratio in town. Just go there and order anything at all – you won’t be disappointed. But get there early!
Weekdays there is a menu del día (see photo below) – great value at 10€.
The restaurant next door is small and intimate, with a completely different menu. It’s more expensive than the bar, but worth every penny. Make sure to book ahead.
