Fine dining in Sevilla

Fine dining in Spain is a great experience. Our gastronomy has definitively become one of the best in the world, and some of the most awarded restaurants are in Spain. When it comes to Andalusia, the southern region of the country and probably the most typical, food is based on mediterranean products, and more and more combined with a touch of international ingredients. There are excellent places for a fabulous dinnner, and maybe the location of such places is what makes it even more magical. In Seville, the capital of Andalusia, we can find places like La Alqueria , managed by the world famous Ferrán Adriá, and the only restaurant in Andalusia with 2 Michelin stars. Tasting menus at 125€ pp without wine. Also recommendable is Sevruga , a cosy 3 level place by the riverside of Coria, a little town just minutes from Sevilla. Private wine cellar and average price of 35€ pp a la carte. Once in the city, Egaña Oriza is an elegant restaurant in the center, managed by chef Jose Maria Egaña, and with private rooms available. Another little gem in the city: Az-zait an intimate place with excellent service. Around 50€ pp.
Sevilla is a paradise for tapas. With an endless list of tapas bars, it´s also highly recommendable to stroll around the streets, go from bar to bar, enjoy local wines and gastronomy. Restaurants are very good, but a tapas tour is a must when visiting this charming city.
