Finding good non-touristy tapas bars that are open on Sunday and Monday can be a bit of a challenge in Sevilla. Many of the best family-run places are closed on these days, though some will open for Sunday lunch (1 – 4pm). This is something I always point out to my Sevilla Tapas Tour clients, and so I thought it would be helpful to also post a short list here of my favourite places to eat out on those “difficult days”.
I’ve tried to cover a few different barrios (neighbourhoods) but for some reason the Arenal is a bit of a dead zone on those two days, so I’m giving “honourable mentions” to Bodeguita Romero (open for Sunday lunch) and Enrique Becerra (open Monday).
Remember that tapas bars usually close between 4 – 8 pm, or if they stay open all day their kitchen will probably be closed then. Also, some places close for summer holidays during either July or August, so call ahead those months. It’s also a good idea to call and see if you can book a table on Sundays, which tend to get very busy with families going out for lunch, or else get to the bar right when they open (usually 1pm for lunch, 8pm for dinner).

Will Vineria San Telmo or any of the other places be open in August? Trying to find a place to eat on a August Sunday in Seville & most of the restaraunts dont seem to reply to emails!
Vineria San Telmo, Las Teresas and Modesto will be open all of August. I had a list of places that were open last August, but of course that could change this year, so I will try to remember to do a new list in July.
Went to Al Aljibe last Sunday and Monday as a result of your recommendation, we were staying close by. It was just brilliant.
Hi John,
Glad to hear you found my website and that this info was useful for you. Love Al Aljibe.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
