A cosy, informal place improbably located on a pedestrianised street full of shoe shops, with a small outside seating area and two floors of dining tables inside, this new tapas mecca has some of the friendliest waiting staff in the city. The menu is highly seasonal, with fruits and vegetables (mushrooms in autumn, figs in late summer) creating original, colourful combinations for daily specials: cherry salmorejo, seabass ceviche with lemon and passion fruit. Year-round winners include tender tartar de atun (tuna tartare) and endive, beetroot, orange, walnut and cheese salad.

Sal Gorda offers modern Spanish cuisine in the very city center, halfway between the Seville Cathedral and the Metropol Parasol. In addition to all of the creative dishes in the menu, every week they have new specials that are worth trying. If you are looking for delicious food, at an awesome location and with great prices, then you can’t go wrong with Sal Gorda.

Tucked away on Calle Alcaiceria de la Loza, its twist on global classics include oxtail Bao, chicken samosas with jalapeno sauce, chicken wings with kimchi salsa and carrillada (pork or beef cheek) with truffle puree. It also has several seafood dishes, including tuna tataki – and an extensive craft beer and wine selection to match.

Bar Sal Gorda is a small tapas bar with inventive croquettes and great wine. Late afternoon’s is the best time to visit, especially if you can grab a seat on the outdoor terrace. The menu changes quite often, but if you’re wondering what to order, I recommend starting with the croquetas carbonara and they were delicious!

Sal Gorda is one of our go-to places for modern-style tapas, with a great seasonal menu and twists on typical tapas. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but we love the shrimp and mushroom risotto or carrillada (stewed pork cheek) with creamed potatoes. We visit Sal Gorda on our Gourmet Tapas & Wine Tasting Tour.

Sal Gorda makes Spanish food done right and your wallet doesn’t suffer either. We love checking out their daily tapas specials – they end up being the best thing that we ordered. We prefer sitting on one of the outside tables rather than the inside ones, but snag it quickly because so does everybody else.

As you’ve seen from this list thus far, there’s no shortage of bars serving classic tapas in Seville. But there are many restaurants that put a modern twist on your favorite dishes as well, one of them being Sal Gorda. We learned about Sal Gorda from a foodie friend who had recently visited Seville.

This sunny spot specialises in craft beer and traditional-with-a-twist tapas. Swing by at lunchtime and tuck into chicken wings with kimchee salsa, porcini mushroom and langoustine risotto, and white prawn tartar with yuzu dressing. Take heed: portions are small in size but rich in stature.

The menu offers creative interpretations of local dishes that would make Anthony Bourdain proud. You’ll find anything from Iberin cannelloni, tuna tartar, oxtail, and even Spanish craft beer. The open-kitchen design and the modern, vibrant decor give this small space a cozy feel.

This place also came highly recommended from locals and online. While a little pricier than some of the other places we visited the quality of the food was definitely up there. Ingredients were fresh and there was definitely a more modern take on the humble tapas dish.

One of my favorite places right off of Plaza Alfalfa, this small and unassuming tapas bar serves some wonderful food, and the prices are unbeatable for the quality. They also have craft beers and a good variety of wines by the glass. Calle Alcaicería de la Loza, 23
