GastroSol

Gastrosol is a unique space in Sevilla atop the Metropol Parasol (aka Las Setas), with 55 metres of bar and 1100 metres of floor to ceiling windows overlooking the city. What is also unique is the concept – a bit like a gourmet food hall with six different bars forming the hub of the space with shared seating, both inside and out. You order your food at the bars, paying as you go, which means you can “mix and match” if, for example, you’d prefer to have the tapas from one place and wine from another. There are also two large salon areas that will mostly be used for private events or, if the bar seating area gets too crowded, as an overflow section.

There are three tapas bars: Puerto Delicia Tapas, 6 Sentidos (run by Abantal & the Flores brothers) and a third that will change every six months, so there will always be something new on offer. At Alicantina Mar you can get seafood and fried fish and the abacería will soon be open for charcuterie. There is also a café/bar which, along with Puerto Delicia and the marisquería, are run by Restaurante Puerto Delicia.

Residents of Sevilla can access GastroSol free of charge, non-residents have to pay the 1.20€ fee to take the lift to the top of the Metropol Parasol (the access fee is deducted from your bill if you spend 10€ per person at the tapas bars, 5€ per person at the café.). Once up it’s a fabulous spot to stop for a drink and a snack and enjoy some of the best views in Sevilla.
