Seville's cuisine is known for its quality and variety, reflecting the influence of Andalusian culture and the city's history. If you enjoy eating well, Seville is your ideal destination. Here you will find the best of Andalusia, a land of flavours with the finest raw ingredients.
Gazpacho
Gazpacho is a cold soup made from tomato, pepper, cucumber, garlic, bread and olive oil. It is a refreshing dish, perfect for hot summer days. The famous salmorejo from Córdoba, which it may remind you of, reduces its ingredients to bread, garlic and tomato and is usually served with hard-boiled egg and serrano ham. Both are delicious.
Pescaíto frito
Pescaíto frito is another of the most popular dishes in Seville. It consists of fresh fish (anchovies, pijotas, acedías…) coated in batter and fried. It is usually served as a tapa or a portion in the city's bars and restaurants. If you want it to turn out the same way at home, try using chickpea flour.
Iberian Ham
Iberian ham is a typical product of the region, and that from Huelva, so close to Seville, is especially renowned for its quality. It is a cured ham from Iberian pigs fed on acorns and raised free-range. It should be served cut into thin slices and is a delicacy appreciated internationally.
Sherry wine
Sherry wine is another jewel of Andalusian gastronomy. This fortified wine is produced in the Jerez de la Frontera region, where it holds its Denominación de Origen, and is made from Palomino, Pedro Ximénez or Moscatel grapes. It is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of dishes, and offers a wide range of aromas and flavours.
These are just a few examples of the rich gastronomy you can enjoy in Seville. Many other dishes and products are well worth a visit to our city, such as croquetas, carrillada, seafood rice, snails or the local wine of the Seville region. If you are a foodie or simply enjoy good food, Seville is the perfect destination for you.
