Eslava

Not so much of a hidden gem anymore, Eslava is just outside the usual “rutas de tapas”, and its reputation has made it one of the most popular tapas bars in Sevilla. It is charming and unpretentious and serves up some of the best food in town at some of the best prices in town too. Just go 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.
