Close your eyes and put yourself in the situation.
You have just arrived in Seville, you leave your suitcases and you feel two unstoppable impulses: to regain your strength after the trip and an enormous desire to assimilate everything new around you, what you see, feel and perceive… and also, of course, to “verify” those aromas that you can’t resist.
In Seville you eat as you live. Fusing history and avant-garde, traditional flavours and haute cuisine. Discovering our personality in every dish. Enjoying every mouthful to the full.
Tapas are a social fact in our city and one of its most essential cultural manifestations. As is the defence and evolution of the tapa in its maximum quality and creativity thanks to the work carried out collectively in the kitchens of our bars and restaurants.
Seville is the culture of olive oil, oranges, rice, bull’s meat, Iberian pork, river fish, convent pastry… But Seville is also exquisitely decorated establishments with a charming atmosphere that combine excellent km0 products and local recipes with food and techniques from other regions.
Independent cuisine which an enormous young academy of Sevillian chefs are leaving their mark on Spanish gastronomy. Here is a brief tour of some of the city’s establishments that will allow you to get to know this exciting fusion of flavours that Seville has to offer.
Important: Please check the opening hours and days of the establishments prior to your visit, as they are undergoing many alterations due to the current health situation.

- Description: The Mercado de la Encarnación is the raison d’être of the Metropol Parasol project. Until 1842 this site housed a medieval convent which, over the years, became the first food market in the city of Seville in 1842.
Due to structural problems, it was demolished in 1973. In June 2004, an international ideas competition was held to put an end to the precarious situation of the merchants, and it was then, with the jury’s decision in favour of Jürgen Mayer’s Metropol Parasol project, that the new Mercado de la Encarnación began to take shape.
This building is popularly known as Las Setas. Today, Setas de Sevilla contains at street level one of the most modern food markets in the world.
On 2,200 square metres, 40 stalls of almost 20 square metres are arranged in quadruple square islands, allowing each stall to display its wares at right angles to each other.
Fruit and vegetables; fish and seafood; meats and cold meats; groceries, deli, frozen food, bars and jewellery also share common areas for loading and unloading, office, cold storage, changing rooms, packaging storage and kitchen for food preparation.
- Resident’s tip: Visit the fish stalls and the ham and sausage stalls. You can also buy fighting bull meat. Take advantage of the 360º views from the upper viewpoint of the Setas de Sevilla or the archaeological remains of the Antiquarium, in the area below the market.
