What are tapas?
What really are tapas? Tapas are the heart of our gastronomic culture: small plates of homemade and traditional specialties, or surprising chef creations; brushstrokes of intense flavors, suggestive products of the highest quality… A way of eating that responds to a way of life. Live food, eat life.
And what does going out for “tapas” consist of? Try it yourself: walk among monuments, stop at a bar and order a tapa, continue discovering the city, a second tapa in another bar, and so on.
Haute cuisine on the right plate
A salad! One of sirloin with whiskey! Seville is a gastronomic spectacle in every bar or restaurant.
You will discover authentic haute cuisine in small format, you will discover bars and restaurants in historic enclaves, incredible places that will transmit a unique energy. And all this in a really affordable way.

Recommended places for tapas in Seville
(header) Near the cathedral and the Santa Cruz neighborhood, Bodega Santa Cruz Las Columnas
We emphasize it: a must for enjoying tapas in Seville. The atmosphere, the friendly attitude of the waiters, and the delicious tapas make it an unforgettable experience.
They say the specialty is cod fritters, but we also tried the pork cheek, the ‘flamenquín,’ and a squid stew that was finger-licking good.
Address: Calle Rodrigo Caro, 1
Álvaro el Peregil
The establishments are small, but they have a lot of charm. A famous place to try orange wine, a sweet wine typical of Seville, absolutely delicious and a must-include in your recommendations.
Among the tapas you can enjoy: pork cheek, Iberian secret with ham, shrimp fritters, and mackerel with peppers were the tapas we tried and loved.
Address: Calle Mateos Gago, 20 and 22
If you prefer to have tapas in Seville in the Santa Catalina neighborhood, our recommendation is:
El Rinconcillo
A legendary place that cannot be missed on a food route in Seville, not only for its tapas but also because it is the oldest bar in Seville, open since 1670.
It’s not very large, and you might have to endure a little pushing, but it’s a classic, and classics are classics for a reason.
Los Claveles
A variety of traditional cuisine tapas that will leave you speechless.
The complete ‘montadito’ (tenderloin, ham, and quail egg) is exquisite. The tapas of Iberian pork cheek and Cordoban ‘flamenquín’ are also outstanding.
Where to Eat Cheap Tapas in Seville
And although none of the previous options are expensive, here are additional places that, as connoisseurs of the region, we recommend for enjoying affordable tapas in Seville.
So, where are the cheapest tapas bars in Seville?
Taberna Los Coloniales, Cheap Tapas in Seville
Choose anything from the menu; you’re sure to love it. And the best part, you can try a bit of everything because the prices will also please you.
We can offer our particular recommendation from the menu; what we like the most is:
- Iberian Platter: Toasted bread with tomato puree, quail eggs, and ham
- Eggplant with honey
- Cheese fritters with asparagus and pepper jam
It’s highly likely that to secure a table, you’ll become part of their peculiar waiting list: you arrive, give your name, they note it on a blackboard, and they’ll loudly announce when it’s your turn.
They have two tapas bars in Seville: one at C/ Fernández y González 36, and the longstanding one in San Pedro, at Plaza Cristo de Burgos, 19.
