La Cantina is my favourite market bar in Sevilla, serving up fabulous fresh fish and seafood tapas, including delicacies such as fried ortigüillas (sea anemones) and tuna collar preserved in Iberian pork fat. Located inside the Feria market, the bar has expanded its original tiny bar and kitchen. But the best place to be is on the ample terrace that splendidly incorporates one of the outer walls of the 13th century Omnium Sanctorium church. It’s all self-service – your name will be called when your order is ready and your bar tab will be written on the white-tiled wall. Non-fish eaters are a bit out of luck, though they do have excellent chicharrones de Cádiz, marinated potato salad, salmorejo and roasted red peppers.
Feria Market is now a bit overrun with new bars but La Cantina is always busy and buzzy and you can tell this is a favourite place for locals. Excellent value for money and friendly efficient bar service.
