Reopened in 2022 as Antigua Casa Diego
I actually came here as part of my research into the best places to have snails in Seville, but it deserved a visit as one of Triana’s very typical neighbourhood bars, founded in 1972 by the father of current owners Manuel and Carmen. Inside is fairly small and basic, but the décor includes some lovely tiles around the bar depicting scenes from the barrio, and its famous beer pump model of Santa Ana Church. There’s also a decent sized terrace outside.
We didn’t stop long, but we did try the caracoles (small snails in broth), which lived up to their reputation and were obviously popular with the clientele, and the house speciality of fried chicken (delicious). There’s also a good range of stews, including cocido, potaje and spinach with chickpeas.
