Eslava
Consistently voted one of Seville's best tapas bars, Eslava has won Spain's prestigious 'best tapa' award multiple times. Its signature tapa — slow-cooked egg yolk on spinach cream with caramelised onion — is legendary. Expect queues; arrive early or at opening.
El Rinconcillo

Creative contemporary tapas with quality ingredients in a stylish setting. Has multiple locations across Seville. Known for inventive combinations of local produce, outstanding natural wine list, and buzzing atmosphere. Advance booking strongly recommended.
Bar Alfalfa
A beloved, perpetually busy classic tapas bar on the corner of the Alfalfa plaza. No-frills but excellent quality traditional tapas at honest prices. Standing room mostly, with outdoor tables in summer. Gets very busy on weekend evenings — that's part of the charm.

Classic Cordoban dishes — salmorejo, rabo de toro, berenjenas con miel — prepared with exceptional quality. A Córdoba institution.
Casa Pepe de la Judería
A classic restaurant in Córdoba's Jewish Quarter with a beautiful interior courtyard and traditional décor. Trusted choice for classic Cordoban cuisine prepared with local Montilla wine, olive oil from Jaén, and quality local produce. Popular with both tourists and locals.
Taberna Salinas
