Seville boasts a varied and excellent gastronomy with well-known dishes such as gazpacho, salmorejo, fried fish, pavías, croquettes, or oxtail, among many others that I recommend you try if you have the opportunity. There are establishments for all tastes and budgets since Seville has a wide range of options, and it’s very difficult to make a selection due to its enormous quality and variety. Below, I’ll list some of the best places to eat in the Triana neighborhood, which we like for their value for money, tradition, gastronomic offerings, and good service:
Triana neighborhood:
Betis Street (next to Plaza de Cuba)
Recently renovated and inaugurated, it amazes with its transformation into elegance and high gastronomic quality, terraces with beautiful views of the river and Seville. Spectacular tapas: gildas, marinated potatoes, croquettes, cheese fritters, and very well-presented and delicious dishes: grilled artichokes, fresh sea bass, “arroz del señorito” (a type of rice dish), and among its desserts, the cheesecake and apple pie stand out.
Bar Juan Carlos (Febo Street,6)
For cheese lovers, they can visit Bar Juan Carlos, which offers more than a hundred varieties of this dairy product and around 60 types of international beers. However, you can also enjoy other tapas, such as “montaditos” (small sandwiches).
Casa Ruperto (Santa Cecilia Avenue, 2)
A classic in Triana, Casa Ruperto. Their signature dish is fried quails, known as ‘pajaritos’ (little birds). Snails, snail broths, and small sandwiches (‘montaditos’) are also very popular.
Sol y sombra (Castilla Street 151)
Opened in 1961, it specializes in traditional Andalusian cuisine. This establishment maintains a classic decoration with fair-style tables, bullfighting posters, legendary bottles, and ceilings covered in ham. It offers an extensive menu with typical dishes such as marinades, garlic shrimp, garlic sirloin, fried fish, habas bean scramble, and snails. But it also includes innovations like rice dishes.
Trianilla Tapas (Manuel Pareja Obregón Street, 2)
Hidden among the streets of Triana, you’ll find this establishment that undoubtedly surprises with a variety of exquisite tapas made with the finest seasonal ingredients. Excellent value for money. Their kitchen combines the most traditional and conventional ingredients with a fresh and exotic twist, creating original dishes that enhance each of their flavors. Their preparations with tuna are a standout: the stuffed tuna, tuna cubes on toast… But also, their chicken pastela, shrimp salad, or brioche bread with Argentinean roast beef are equally delicious. Off the menu and in season, ask for the tagarninas with egg.Casa Gago (Lucia de Jesús Street, 2)
Homemade and classic cuisine. The menu changes frequently as they always aim to give each dish a personal touch. Their omelets are a highlight, with the most famous being the eggplant omelet, which perfectly combines the classic omelet with ham and melted cheese inside. Their Melva flamenquín is another classic, but don’t hesitate to ask about off-menu dishes, such as gazpacho during the summer season.El Bistec (Pelay Correa Street 34, next to Plazuela de Santa Ana)
Homemade and classic cuisine. The menu changes frequently as they always aim to give each dish a personal touch. Their omelets are a highlight, with the most famous being the eggplant omelet, which perfectly combines the classic omelet with ham and melted cheese inside.

Paco España (Alfarería Street 18)
At Taberna Paco España, you can savor a well-poured beer, served in a cider glass, and very, very cold. Among their star tapas, shrimp salad, cured meats, stew croquettes, cod loins, Iberian ham sticks, and small sandwiches are some of their most applauded tapas.
Las golondrinas (Antillano Campos Street, 26)
One of the most applauded tapas at this establishment is the baby squid, but they also excel in their marinated dishes, seasonings, or ham “caballitos” (small sandwiches).Arroceria El Criaito (Mercado de Triana)
The best thing about this unique establishment is that it is located inside the Triana Market, surrounded by all the fresh ingredients you could desire. Among their dishes are the potato salad or some shrimp fritters, but their standout dishes are their rice dishes or their Sanlúcar stews.
Victoria 8 (Victoria Street, 8)
Among their dishes, there’s warm foie gras salad with tomato jam, a tournedo of scallops, or their magnificent partridge dumplings, fresh tuna loin, or oxtail… for desserts, their standout options are apple tatin or almond delight with toasted egg yolk.
Jaylu (López de Gomara Street, 19)
Pure elegance in the establishment, where you can find magnificent seafood and fish of a quality that very few can match. They have a cuisine that spans from tradition to modernity, with innovative dishes like seaweed verbena with marinated shrimp, needlefish tataki with wasabi pearls, or imperial cuttlefish meatballs in their ink. There are also classic options such as grilled scallops on parmentier, hake roe with mayonnaise, or cod nape with its pil-pil sauce.
De La O Restaorant (Paseo Nuestra Señora de la O, 29)
On the Triana side of the Guadalquivir River, you’ll find this restaurant. Among its standout dishes are the “de la O” pate with garden preserves and homemade toasts, seasonal potato salad and pickles, wood-fired warm eggplant salad with Iberian ham from Huelva, wild duck rice, their unique sausages like fish with caramelized onions and marinated vegetables, or a sirloin steak with confit piquillo peppers and green leaf salad. For dessert, their hazelnut sponge cake with fruit jelly and ice cream stands out.
Amarra Restaurant (Pagés del Corro Street 43)
Traditional and maritime cuisine. Their specialties are fish and seafood directly brought from Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Homemade stews, such as rice dishes, gurnard soup, or potatoes with cuttlefish, but not forgetting sand smelts, red mullet, anchovies, sole, fried hake chunks, stuffed squid, baby clams, and clams, as well as some spectacular shrimp fritters.
Casa Montalván (Alfarería Street 21)
With an exterior adorned with ornate tiles from the former Montalván tile factory, you’ll find a cozy and traditional restaurant. It offers a very good quality-price ratio and attentive, friendly service.
