The views—overlooking the river and the Torre del Oro—are almost as beautiful as the chic clientele that frequent this glass-enclosed restaurant, especially fitting for a trendy night out.

White-washed walls and a simple interior in no way resemble the artfully constructed plates served at Seville’s longest-running Michelin-starred restaurant. A short walk from the center of town, the haute cuisinery is a must for serious foodies.

Bedecked in vibrant velvet and creamy leather, the regal bar at the Hotel Alfonso XIII is ideal for a pre- or post-dinner drink.

Down the street from Seville’s renowned Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza is Antonio Romero, a casual eatery set in an old-school dining room with a vibrant atmosphere.

Menu items include delectable slow-cooked meats and a variety of tapas. (Don’t miss the Iberian Shop Sauce dish, a slow cooked beef with special sauce, known as Iberian Shop Sauce.)

This family-run spot serves traditional Sevillan food in ornate, formal dining rooms.

This farm to table-like restaurant brings a splash of New York City dining to the more traditional tapas scene in Seville. With a focus on fresh and organic produce, the concept here is slow-cooked food and the menu (written on a chalkboard that is brought around to each table) changes regularly. Wooden tables are juxtaposed against colorful modern lamps and paintings, and the atmosphere is both buzzy, local and dimly lit, so a nice option for a more casual table for two or families who enjoy a low-key but intimate experience. The restaurant’s open kitchen provides an added sense of coziness and authenticity. First timers shouldn’t miss the crispy rice dishes (particularly good is the arroz with calamari). Visit on a Tuesday to enjoy an acoustic concert while you dine.

One of Seville’s most beloved institutions since 1670, this famed spot is perfect for a relaxing night filled with drinks and a bounty of tapas.

The alfresco terrace at this lively bar offers some of the city’s best people-watching as well as a jovial scene well into the night.

While the menu proffers the full range of classic tapas, La Moneda is known for superb fried fish dishes (think deep fried prawn omelets).

Innovative comfort food takes center stage at this bustling tapas bar where diners nosh on patatas bravas, crispy salmon and wok chicken.
