The Top 21 Restaurants Near Hotel Alfonso XIII
-
Rank 1. Abantal
Andalucian Spanish
The name traces back to the word for apron, which sets the tone nicely. This is a Michelin-starred fine dining room in Seville, dressed more like a museum gallery than a restaurant, where the team channels traditional Andalucian flavors through a sharper, more contemporary lens. Two tasting menus run at different lengths, and a chef's table in the kitchen seats ten. The cooking keeps local and seasonal produce at the center rather than using them as decoration.
-
Rank 2. Ivantxu Espacio Bistronómico
Andalucian Basque
A casual bistro near the old tobacco factory in Los Remedios, with big glass windows and a kitchen that lets the ingredients do the talking. The chef blends Basque and Andalucian instincts on a menu built around prized Spanish meats, Galician seafood, and fish from the Conil auction. Nothing is fussed over beyond what it needs, which requires considerably more confidence than it sounds.
-
Rank 3. Balbuena y Huertas
Andalucian Spanish
The restaurant shares a building with a boutique hotel in Triana but keeps its own entrance and its own identity, named after the architect who designed the handsome regional-style space. The kitchen updates Andalucian classics with seasonal ingredients, and a Michelin Bib Gourmand reflects the value on offer. Half-plates let you graze widely, and a tasting menu called Alegría is there if you want someone else to make the decisions.
-
Rank 4. Chicarreros
Contemporary Spanish
A pedestrian lane behind City Hall, named for the guild of children's shoemakers who once worked here, gave this elegant bistro its name and its small claim to Seville's layered past. The room leans toward sophisticated eclecticism, the menu toward contemporary Spanish cooking with a caviar section that signals the kitchen's ambitions. A tasting menu is available, though plenty of locals come just for the beef tartare aged with marrow.
-
Rank 5. Basque Eneko
Basque
Eneko Atxa, the Basque chef with three Michelin stars at his flagship back home, has planted a version of that creative cooking inside a Radisson hotel in central Seville. The format is contemporary Basque, with sharing plates, grilled meats, and two tasting menus, short or long, both with wine pairing if you want it. The smoked Iberian pork is the kind of detail that makes the menu worth reading slowly.
-
Rank 6. Augurio
Contemporary New American
A bistro-style spot in the old city where two young chefs run the room with the kind of looseness that makes a meal feel like it was their idea to invite you. The menu moves through contemporary Spanish cooking with quiet nods to Japanese, Mexican, and Peruvian flavors, alongside a dedicated section for Almadraba tuna. Finger foods arrive as tapas, the pork cheek ravioli with foie gras sauce shows real ambition, and nothing feels like it's trying too hard.
-
Rank 7. Yo, Cocina Contemporánea
Contemporary Italian
A Sardinian chef who fell for Seville hard enough to move there runs this intimate contemporary restaurant near the cathedral. Everything comes through two tasting menus, where the cooking blends Andalucian warmth and French precision into something that feels personal rather than programmatic. The Michelin Guide has it on its radar, which tracks for a room this focused. Wear something nice but not your best suit.
-
The name comes from the Arabic for olive juice, which tells you something about how seriously this contemporary Sevillian restaurant takes its roots. Two classically dressed dining rooms, an actual cheese trolley, and a digestif cart so extensive it practically needs its own menu. The à la carte keeps things tight; the tasting menus take their names from Andalusian olive tree varieties. Michelin awarded it a Bib Gourmand.
-
Fish sold by the slice, sourced that day from the Gulf of Cádiz, is the quiet argument this traditional Sevillian restaurant makes before you've even sat down. Named after the Manhattan neighborhood and set near the old Buhaira Gardens, it's been around forever, turning out a market-driven tasting menu that shifts with whatever came off the boat. The crowd tends to know exactly what they're ordering, because they've been here before.
-
Rank 10. Lalola de Javi Abascal
Traditional Spanish
A tasting menu built entirely around Iberian pork, desserts included, is either a provocation or a love letter, and at Lalola it reads as the latter. The restaurant sits inside a historic palace in the old city, its main dining room set under a covered patio that does most of the atmospheric heavy lifting. Traditional Spanish cooking with a modern lean, a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and an à la carte for anyone not ready to commit to pork from soup to nuts.
-
Rank 11. La Barra de Cañabota
Seafood Spanish
-
Rank 12. DESACATO
Andalucian Fusion Basque
A menu sectioned into chapters like "Carnal Temptations" and "Sharing is Living" tells you roughly what kind of evening this is going to be. Set in Seville's historic quarter with bare industrial bones, this relaxed restaurant pulls Basque and Andalucian cooking into something the team calls "irreverent cuisine," a label that mostly holds. Daily fish and seafood specials circulate off-menu, so asking what came in is worth the conversation.
-
Rank 13. Leartá
Contemporary Spanish
A single tasting menu anchors this contemporary Spanish restaurant tucked into Seville's old quarter near Plaza de la Gavidia. The name nods to a traditional gathering place for Andalusian trades, which sets the tone: the young team is fixated on Southern Spain, sourcing Iberian ham, white prawns, and local honey before weaving them through delicate broths and a kitchen that treats texture as seriously as flavor.
-
The name comes from a stage in sherry production, the moment a master decides a wine's fate, which tells you something about how seriously this place takes Andalusia. It's a modern restaurant with a tasting menu and sharing plates, run by a couple who met at El Celler de Can Roca, she cooks, he pours. The cooking leans into regional tradition, then quietly bends it into something personal.
-
Rank 15. El Disparate
Contemporary Spanish
The terrace faces the Alameda de Hércules, which means the people-watching competes with the food for your attention. Inside the Corner House hotel, this contemporary Spanish restaurant builds its seasonal menu around Andalucian ingredients, then pulls in the occasional detour through Asia or Mexico to keep things interesting. A few dishes have followed the team here from earlier ventures, carrying their own small histories to the table.
-
A Michelin-starred contemporary restaurant in Los Rosales, a quiet district outside Tocina that few people visit on purpose. The couple behind it trained at some of Spain's serious kitchens before coming home, and the room stays unpretentious while the cooking does not. Two tasting menus anchor the meal, built around seasonal ingredients with the kind of focus that earns a star without advertising it.
-
Rank 17. Aires de Doñana
Traditional Spanish
A thatched roof and a terrace looking out over the lagoon toward the sanctuary of El Rocío, which sets the scene before the food even arrives. This is a traditional restaurant in one of Andalusia's most singular villages, deep in Doñana National Park country, and the kitchen leans into its surroundings with local marsh and coastal ingredients prepared without fuss. The kind of lunch where the view does as much work as anything on the plate.
-
Rank 18. Cal Viva
Traditional Spanish
An updated take on traditional Spanish cooking, tucked inside an industrial estate in a small Andalusian town, which is either a charming surprise or proof that good food goes where it wants. The chef builds two daily tasting menus around local seasonal ingredients, choosing the dishes for you, with soups, stews, and rice dishes available off-menu for anyone who prefers to steer.
-
Rank 19. Deli
Andalusian
Creamy rice with partridge has been on the menu here long enough to outlast several generations of the family running the place, which is now on its third. Deli is a traditional Andalusian restaurant in a small inland town, the kind that cooks from old recipes some of which trace back to Moorish rule, sources everything locally, and puts roast suckling lamb on the table without making a fuss about it.
-
One of the dining rooms used to be the stables, which tells you something about the building and, honestly, about Sanlúcar. This modern restaurant inside a converted palacio in the Barrio Alto pairs antique bones with contemporary cooking that leans hard into local ingredients. The sherry list by the glass is extensive, as it should be in a town that makes the stuff. The Michelin Guide awards it a Bib Gourmand.
-
Rank 21. Casa Dirección
Spanish
The walls of this Spanish restaurant are lined with shoe moulds, which makes sense once you learn that Valverde del Camino is the leather-working capital of Andalusia. Attached to a handsome English-style mansion turned ethnographic museum, the place runs from a tapas bar through a terrace-facing dining room to, somehow, an amphitheatre out back. The menu updates traditional dishes with a wine pairing folded into each set menu.
