Updated December 2025<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Brought to you by the same dynamic team behind Salmedina<\/a>, chefs Jaime Guardiola and Pedro Ruiz-Ocejo, with partners Jos\u00e9 Carpintero and Miguel Criado, have created a warm and inviting space with one of the prettiest terrazas in town. Whereas with Salmedina the idea was to recreate a typical seafood cervecer\u00eda<\/em> from the C\u00e1diz coast (where the Guardiola family hails from), Taberna Zurbar\u00e1n is the embodiment of a traditional sevillano tapas bar with a classic tapas menu.<\/p>\n

Tucked away behind the Setas it has a unique “off the beaten path” feel even though you couldn’t get more central (Sevilla’s KM0 plaque in calle Jos\u00e9 Gestoso is just around the corner). Inside the bar is a stunning combination of recovered high ceilings, refurbished and modern tiles, and clever artwork by interior designer Desiree Mejer<\/a>. Comfortable wooden stools line the bar and shelves along the walls, with tables outside in the orange tree filled square. That square is total heaven on earth when the azahar<\/em> is in blossom.<\/p>\n

The menu is short with most of the classics, perfectly prepared and presented. Be sure to check the daily specials (seen below, the grilled quail breast, braised rabbit ribs, grilled tuna belly etc).\u00a0 My two benchmark tapas – croquetas and solomillo al whisky – are spot on, and the tortilla de patatas is of the best I’ve had. We also love the crispy pav\u00eda de bacalao (made from the cod belly), meatballs (pork and beef) and tender carne (pork) con tomate. The wine list includes a good selection of sherries and other national wines. As at Salmedina, service here is fantastic with well-trained and knowledgeable staff. It’s a neighbourhood favourite and also one of mine.<\/p>\n

Next door, and sharing the same lovely square, is their brunch spot Aluzena<\/a>. Open for breakfast\/brunch Weds-Sunday.<\/p>\n
