Most of these contain descriptions but those I have not
been to currently do not have much information. Each week
I'll be adding more descriptions as I try a new one. For
Italian/Pizza the options are plentiful and I'm not covering
close to all of them. When it comes to finding a good steak
it's often best to head to an Argentinean restaurant where
they specialize in grilled beef. Many good vegetarian dishes
can be found in restaurants which are not strictly vegetarian.
In fact some of the best vegetarian food in Seville comes
from these types of restaurants.
 : Price, from
4 (expensive) to 1 (cheap), this is to offer an idea of the price range.
 : Address of
the establishment. Important note: "c/" means
"Calle", as in "Street".
 : Telephone,
if available. Many do not have listings in phone books nor
offer business cards.

Great Italian food, and don't believe the other Seville
web sites or guide books which say 48€ for two. You
can skip that 20€ bottle of wine and eat plenty for
around 25€. Eat at the Meson del Moro location for
the best atmosphere - set in what was formerly a 12th century
Arab bath. While they offer pizza I'd recommend eating any
of the other dishes first. And the salad with roquefort,
endive and fresh corn is wonderful. There are several other
locations, which all have a unique atmosphere. Most are
in renovated 18th or 19th century houses and include period
decoration. I recently strolled by the c/Baños location
and it has a nice cozy feel. It's just off a side street
from Plaza de la Gavidia in the center. A little secret
- if you want the same menu but for a better price check
out Restaurante Cereceto on c/Pérez Galdós.
They are a San Marco franchise which offers more or less
the same food but in a more casual atmosphere.
Al
Solito Posto |
:
c/ Huelva, 8 (Alfalfa).
:
954 220 917
Recently opened and with two floors it has an authentic
Italian look and feel. Real Italians working in the kitchen
and bar help the atmosphere as well. A small area by the
bar, as well as back and upstairs dining rooms give you
plenty of places to sit. Tapas, typical Italian cuisine
and pizzas are offered. The food is great, but I must say
from my first sampling I wouldn't recommend the bruschetta.
Less of a place for tapas and more for a pizza from their
wood fired oven or an authentic full Italian meal.
O
Mamma Mia |
:
c/ Betis 33 (Triana).
:
954 272 156
: omammamia.com
Another Italian place on Calle Betis offering typical dishes.
This is a chain restaurant with locations in much of Spain.
Pizzas are great but you can take your pick from pasta and
other specialties as well. Prices range from 7 - 12€
per dish.
Maccheroni |
:
c/ Harinas, 13 (Arenal).
:
954 501 015.
:
Great food in what looks like a store. Well, at least we
thought it was a store when we first passed by. Tucked away
on a side street near Plaza Nueva, bright colors and modern
decoration set this apart from many of the Italian restaurants
in Sevilla. The restaurant is run by a family from central
Italy and they have incredible tiramisu. But it's not all
dessert: the normal offerings of lasagna, pasta and of course
veal scallopini are also delicious. Fine cuisine deserves
a fine price, so you'll find dinners to be anywhere from
12-18€ per person.
Mia
Tana |
:
c/ Pérez Galdós, 24 (Alfalfa).
:
954 226 897.
Comes highly recommended from my sister and cuñado.
Aside from pizzas you'll find lasagna, tortellini, cannelloni,
and lots of other pastas. They also have a few mexican dishes
which are very tasty - try the nachos - along with other
"cuisine". We recently ate here and for 14€
we had nachos, a small pizza, lasagna and two drinks.
Pizzeria Napoletana
Cosa Nostra |
: c/ Betis 52 (Triana).
:
954 270 752.
Offering typical Italian dishes such as pizza, lasagna,
plenty of pasta dishes and a few meat and chicken plates.
What used to look like the brother of Mama Mia has gone
upscale with a recent renovation. Modern look, a little
of a pijo crowd and what looks like a better, yet more expensive
menu. Why there is a wall sized picture of Edward Norton
and Ralph Fiennes on the wall I may never know, unless they
stopped by before the renovation. A lot of seating means
you shouldn't have a problem finding a table.
Pizzeros Angelo y
Orsini |
:
c/ Reyes Católicos 25
(Arenal). :
954 216 165
: c/ Luchana 2 (Alfalfa). :
954 216 164
There are now two locations, one in the Alfalfa and another
near the Triana Bridge. The Alfalfa location was my favorite
pizza place, but they have changed the inside a little and
it's less of a pizza joint and more a restaurant. Unfortunately Let's Go "discovered" them a few years
ago so it could be crowded, but it is still worth a trip.
The best thing is the pizza but they offer a full range
of other typical and not so typical Italian dishes. My favorites
include pizza roma, pizza 5 quesos, and the moussaka.
Prices range from 5-8€.
Porta
Rossa |
:
c/ Pastor y Landero, 20 (Arenal).
:
954 226 383.
:
If you're looking for something a little different for your
Italian dining try this Porta Rossa, where the cuisine comes
mainly from the are around Florence. More expensive than
some of the budget Italian places they make up for it with
the food and dining experience.
Telepizza |
:
Many, many locations.
: telepizza.es
I should be ashamed to include Telepizza in this category,
but they do serve pizza! About the only reason to eat Telepizza
is if you want home delivery. The pizza isn't that bad,
but in comparison to just about any other option it comes
out on the bottom of the list. They do deliver just about
anywhere and offer salads and other sandwiches along with
pizza. You'll see these guys zipping around town on motos just about every night.
Foster's
Hollywood |
:
Plaza de Armas C.C (Arenal).
:
954 906 078.
: fostershollywood.es
While Foster's is a chain throughout Spain but, they are one of the most authentic American restaurants in Sevilla.
Keeping this in perspective, Foster's is like Applebee's or Ruby Tuesdays. From the menu look and booth seating to the salt and pepper
shakers on the table, waiters and food you feel like you're
back in the states (A lot of Americans are oftein eating here as well). They have giant hamburgers and were the first in Sevilla to have free refills on Coke! Famous
for their onion rings they also offer other appetizers such
as fried cheese, quesadillas, bacon cheese fries, nachos
and chicken wings. Fajitas, burritos and chili con carne
are part of the Mexican offerings, while 4 or 5 "celebrity"
salads are also on the menu, although none have names of
celebrities. Your choice of 8 burgers in three sizes, plus
baby back ribs, chicken sandwiches, cole slaw and more.
Dessert is in many forms, like brownies, cheesecake, apple
pie and of course milk shakes. Foster's also delivers!
Peggy Sue's Diner |
:
C/ Alfonso XII, 23 local 4 y 3 (Centro / Museo) :
954 224 283.
:
Calle Luis Montoto, 50 (Buhaira) :
954 41 4 585
: peggysues.es
If Foster's is Applebee's or Ruby Tuesdays, then Peggy Sue's Diner is...a little different. I would call it faux diner only as you know it can't be real because your in Spain. But Peggy Sue's has done a good job of creating the atmosphere of a diner with a menu that works as well. We've only tried the hamburgers and desserts, but you can find chicken and club sandwiches, pizza, salads, Onion rings, cheese fries and more. Most of the pizzas and hamburgers are named for famous folks such as Elvis or Aretha Franklin, though I doubt the recipes have anything to do with their personal tastes. Peggy Sue also delivers. They forgot our dessert the one time we ordered but showed up 20 minutes later with it as well as a free one - nice touch!
Sgt.
Peppers |
:
c/ Fernando IV, 34 (Los Remedios).
:
954 451 486.
: Sgt.
Pepper's
American food - specialties are pizza and hamburgers - in
a setting fit for a Beatle. Decoration and music takes you
back to the most successful times of the "legendary"
rock group. Salads, french fries, a club sandwich and a
few spanish tapas are other choices. Kind of reminds me
of Sloppy Joe's if you take away the decoration.

954 475 707l
: sloppyjoes.es
My main complaint is that there's no location in the center!
They offer pizza, burgers, fries, chicken wings and salads:
American style with a Spanish touch. They also offer "sandwishes",
which I believe is just a typo in their ad. Any of the burgers
are great except Viejo Sloppy Joe's. I'm not sure
what's in this other than hamburger, but it's a mushy mass
of meat with some kind of sauce and it just ain't a burger!
The rest are good. Choose from 20 some pizzas, Spanish and
Mexican versions included. Some pizzas are missing tomato
sauce, or they use little. But I don't know why I'm complaining
because the food is really good! Chef salad with blue cheese
dressing is pretty darn close to what you'd get back home.
Home delivery is quick - look for the guys on the motos with the Sloppy Joe's box on the back. During the works for the metro they stopped delivering to many locations in the center and who knows when they'll start again!
Texas Lone Star
Saloon, aka: Tex-Mex Bar |
: c/ Placentines 25 (Centro).
:
954 210 334.
: Texas
Lone Star Saloon
Get your fill of American atmosphere the minute you walk
in the door, all within sight of the Giralda. Walls
are covered with college banners, assorted stuff from Texas
and military memorabilia. Owned by a director of a study
abroad program in Sevilla it's more of a place for beer,
sports and American/Tex-Mex bar food. Fajitas, burritos
and burgers are done well. Budweiser on tap, popcorn, onion
rings and NFL games on Sunday make you feel at home. Also
the only home of the NCAA Basketball Championship game in
Sevilla - 1 day tape delay but it's worth it.
TGI Fridays |
: Nervión Plaza (Nervión).
:
.
: Fridays.com
Taking the place of my much loved Ribs restaurant (La Casa
de Costillas) in Nervión Plaza is TGI Fridays. Certainly
an American restaurant and worth the mention if you are
craving junk food. As with McDonalds, the menu is pretty
much the same and tastes pretty much the same. Still, I
would have much preferred Ribs...
If you're in the mood for something quick and are looking
for a few more listings check out the fast

954 451 600
: Avda. de la Ciencia Edif. Universo (Sevilla Este). :
954 441 526
: Amanecer.es
Part of a chain of Mexican restaurants in Spain they offer
an authentic experience, both in food and decoration. Burritos,
tacos, guacamole, quesadillas, huevos rancheros and more.
A selection of Mexican beer and of course some good tequila.
Azteca |
:
c/ Salado 6 (Triana).
:
954 004 444.
We went down to calle Salado, which has several international
restaurants in a row, plus a few just a block or two away.
Azteca is new and looks like a chain restaurant but from
all I can tell it isn’t. The portions are not large
but the food definitely tasty with some really good tacos
(warning – 1 taco costs about 3,80 Euros). Still,
we made it out after 4 beers and 5 plates for under 30 Euros.
The stuffed jalapeno are spicy and each one with a different
filling (beans, cheese, chicken and tuna). The chimichangas
look more like large soft tacos, the quesadillas still aren’t
the kind I get back home (served in a cazuela,
not between two tortillas) but the flavor is authentic.
Plus they serve about 15 kinds of tequila. Well ignore the
fact they don’t serve Cruzcampo…
Cantina Mariachi |
: Nervión Plaza (Nervión). :
954 414 697
: Los Arcos C.C. :
954 527 418
: cantina-mariachi.com
Being in a mall and looking at the menu you get the idea
of what this place is all about - Taco Bell, but a bit better.
The food is actually pretty good but you feel "chain
restaurant" oozing from the decoration and location.
Still, if you're in one of the mall's and looking for something
different it's a good choice. If you're thinking Mexican
and wondering where to go I'd put this way down on my list.
Mex Rock |
: c/ Betis 41 (Triana).
:
954 331 499.
:
Outside you see they offer “good music”. But
inside there's more. And while they're well know for their
margaritas and cheap shots of tequila for later in the evening
they also offer some decent Mexican food. Fajitas, quesadillas,
tacos, enchiladas plus a few interesting dishes outside
the typical mexican menu.
Tijuana
Tex Mex |
:
c/ Asuncion 67 (Los Remedios).
:
954 458 526.
:
Typical Tex Mex, or better yet Mexican food. All the standards
are available including nachos, tacos, burritos, enchiladas,
chimichangas and more. Good tequila and Mexican beer as
well as a Mariachi band on most nights!
Ajo Blanco |
: c/ Alhóndiga 19 (Santa
Catalina).
:
954 229 320
:
A little alternative in atmosphere, with plenty of music festival
(and a few Feria) posters hanging on the walls. Music varies
from rock to light jazz. While not a true Mexican restaurant,
some of the tapas and dishes are more authentic Mexican
than anything I have tried in the above restaurants. And
they've got the only only true hot sauce in Seville that will kick you in
the mouth!
La
Tasca del Frijolito |
:
c/ Torneo, 19 (Torneo).
:
954 379 140
A little joint across from la cartjua (center side
of the river) on the main strip. They offer a number of
dishes, including 6 or so styles of enchiladas, the cazuela
loca (delicious mix of 2 kinds of meat, two kinds of
rice and beans), Mexican tapas and sandwiches, a large nachos
plate, chile con carne, salads, and more. When the weather
is warm they have outdoor seating with a view of the Avenida!
We managed to order several of the smaller dishes but saw
a giant salad and other large dishes come out of the kitchen.
Helas |
: c/ Gonzalo Bilbao 26 (Santa
Justa).
:
954 534 844
Very authentic greek cuisine by a greek chef and owner.
You can also buy food products and more imported from Greece.
Moussaka and souvlaki are the real deal in Helas, although
the restaurant is much more than that! Original recipes
plus Greek wine and beer. Reasonably priced.
Acropolis |
: c/ Rosario Vega (Triana).
:
We tracked this place down after watching My Big, Fat Greek
Wedding. We were not disappointed! Like Helas the owner
is Greek, a very nice fellow, and also waited on us. He
made some great recommendations. The plates are small but
priced accordingly. While much of what we ate now escapes
me I know we had a lamb stew and three other plates which
were all very good. It has a nice atmosphere - about 10
tables and some seating at the bar. Of course the Greek
flag and a few other bits of memorabilia were hung behind
the bar.
Athenas Taberna Griega |
:
c/ Pureza, 12 (Triana).
:
954 332 467
Just across the Triana bridge and down the next street parallel
c/Betis, is this tavern offering traditional Greek food
in dishes as well as tapas, which makes it easy to try many
of their specialties without losing too much money. It doesn't
seem to be open very often.
La Habanita |
: c/ Golfo (Alfalfa).
:
954 219 516
A large selection of vegetarian dishes, including my favorite frijoles con arroz. Fried yucca, ropa vieja (contains meat) and other Cuban plates as well as Cuban
drinks are worth a try. They are one of the few places to
also offer vegan dishes. All vegetarian and vegan dishes
are clearly marked which makes it easy to choose from. Desserts
are great, too. While located just off the often rowdy street
of Sopa de Ganso, they are tucked away in a little plaza
which makes it a quiet little spot.
La Huerta |
: Plaza de los Terceros (Santa Catalina).
:
Just down the street from my apartment.
Lots of outdoor seating and very friendly owners. They offer
some nice alternatives to the normal tapas you find here.
The tabla de patatas comes with three amazing sauces.
They do serve meat, but have a lot of vegetarian friendly
dishes. Tapa's range from 1,75-2,50€. Some of my favorites:
- tabla de patatas con 3 salsas (roast potatoes
with 3 dipping sauces)
- tabla de verduras (grilled vegetable plate)
- quiche de puerros (leak quiche)
- espinacas con garbanzos (stewed spinach with
garbanzos)
- berenjenas con miel (fried eggplant with honey)
La
Mandrágora |
: c/ Albuera, 11 (Arenal).
:
954 220 184
THIS APPEARS TO HAVE CLOSED OR CHANGED OWNERSHIP. UPDATE COMING SOON. I managed only to eat here one time but enjoyed it. Original and freshly made salads, soups and pasta dishes along with very personalized service. The difficult
part was the liited schedule, generally only open on Friday and Saturday. It's a shame and hope someone can update me about what became of a great vegetarian place in Seville!
La
Ilustre Victima | -
: c/
Doctor Letamendi, 31 (Alameda). :
954 389 490
Specializing in international and vegetarian dishes they
have a large and varied menu. Middle-eastern specialties include cous
cous and shoarmas. You can get a hamburger or something more traditionally andaluz. There is some outdoor seating which in the warmer months
is nice but you'll find plenty of seating inside as well.
Ajo Blanco |
: c/ Alhóndiga 19 (Santa
Catalina).
:
954 229 320
A little alternative in atmosphere: Jazz
and Feria posters cover almost every corner of the walls. Music varies from rock
to light jazz and you can even browse a small collection of LPs on for sale or trade. There are a small number of tables and some space at
the bar to eat. Some dishes have an interesting Mexican
twist to them, all offered with a great hot sauce on the
side - you'll be warned: "la salsa pica!" Prices range
from 2-4€ per tapa. Some vegetarian friendly dishes
include:
- tejano - beans only on request (corn tortilla
with beans and cheese)
- tarta vegetal con queso azul (vegetable
"cake" with blue cheese)
- ensalada de cous cous (cous cous salad)
- keep an eye on the chalkboard to daily specials
Döner
Kebab |
: c/ Torneo, 3 (Torneo).
:
.
: abbasid.net
Another fast-food type joint, but this one's from Egypt.
They offer a ton of great vegetarian stuff as well. Falafel,
tabouli, humus (however you spell it), rice, pizzas and
more. Desserts include baklava and other goodies. It's just
like the places back home and thank whoever that they're
in Sevilla!
Fresco |
: c/ Cuna (Centro, about 1 block from El Salvador).
:
CLOSED A salad bar in Seville? Plus second course, and all you
can eat, for 8-10 Euros? And vegetarian friendly? Yes, finally
this combination has arrived again to Seville.
The place seems to be very busy, although they have some
organizational issues to work out (the cafe which takes
up space is never used!). If you need to get your fill and
want a salad then this is the place to go. Just don't waste
much time looking for blue cheese dressing - it's not there!
Azucar de Cuba |
: Paseo de las Delicias 3 (Centro).
:
954 228 668.
: azucardecuba.com
Sit back and enjoy an authentic Cuban atmosphere, food and
cocktails. While a little expensive you can sample house
specialties plus standard Cuban dishes while listening to
some great music. Daily Menus include dishes such as yuca,
fried rice, and Cuban desserts. Then there's Cuban rum,
exotic drinks such as daiquiris, mojitos, piña coladas and cubanitos, cigars,
plus some wonderful photos on the walls. Live music on some
nights means the drink prices go up - an interesting concept
- but worth the price for the ambience.
La Habanita |
: c/ Golfo (Alfalfa).
:

Al-Medina |

954 215 451.
: restaurantealmedina.com
Easy to get to from the center Al-Medina is one of the better
and more upscale Moroccan restaurants in Sevilla. Reasonably
priced, very traditional Moroccan restaurant which includes
typical dishes such as lamb, cous cous, kebabs and pastries.
Casa Abdul |
: c/ Virgen de Luján,
54 (Los Remedios).
:
954 280 469.
:
Very typical dishes you would expect to find in a Moroccan
restaurant, including chicken with cous cous, pastel
de mariscos (shellfish pastry), roast lamb, mint tea,
pastries and more. I highly recommend the kefta, a wonderfully seasoned ground beef mixture, but I'm very
partial to kefta. Decoration is something you need to see
and almost took me back to my days in Morocco 10 years ago.
Al-Diuan |
:
c/ Leon XIII, 8 (Macarena).
:
954 362 122.
:
There specialty is Middle-eastern as opposed to Moroccan.
Wonderful rice, kebabs, shawarmas, and more. This comes
highly recommended from Eric at Discoversevilla, but I've
yet to make my way over.
As-Sawirah |
: c/ Galera, 5 (Arenal).
:
954 562 268.

Typical Moroccan cuisine such as chicken with cous cous
and a number of meat pastries. Medium price range.
Aladdin |
:
c/ Santa Maria la Blanca (Santa Cruz).
: .
:
With a small dining area in the back, the front part is
roasting hot from the chicken and lamb shoarmas spinning
round. Plenty of vegetarian options as well. Just about
everything can be prepared for take away.
Ali
Baba |
: c/ Betis (Triana).
:
.
:
A fast food joint but a good one. Get a taste of Lebanon
as they serve up kebabs, shawarmas, falafel and other middle-eastern
dishes. It's a small place with maybe 5-6 tables and a counter
where you can place your order.
Döner
Kebab |
: c/ Torneo, 3 (Torneo).
:
.
: abbasid.net
Another fast-food type joint. They offer a ton of great
stuff, at least in my book. Falafel, tabouli, humus (however
you spell it), many kebabs, gyros, rice, pizzas and more.
Desserts include baklava and other goodies. It's similar
to the places back home and thank whoever that they're in
Sevilla. One note - while they have beer signs outside they
only serve non-alcoholic beer.
Restaurante
Shalimar Hindu Tandoori |
:
c/ Javier Lasso de la Vega 9 (Centro).

India. I've received some mixed reviews about the food,
but good reviews about the friendly service.
La
Maria Bodega |
:
c/ Betis (Triana).
:
954 338 461.
Located just across the river where
all the late night action happens. La Maria has been here
for years, serving up savory cuts of meat, grilled to perfection.
El
Portalón |
: Avda de Málaga, 6 (Enramadilla).
:
954 532 736
You'll see it's really part Spanish and part Argentinean
when you first glance at the menu. Either way you won't
be disappointed, but if you come here looking for the Argentinean
part the grill is hot and cooking up some mouthwatering
slabs of ternera, or beef.
Parrilla
Argentina Atahualpa|
:
c/ Salado, 9 (Triana).

Excellent grilled beef as it should be in an Argentinean
restaurant.
La
Nieta de Pepa|
:
c/ Rodrigo Caro 7 (Santa Cruz).
:
954 560 726
Meat imported from Argentina as it should be in a real Argentinean
restaurant! Same goes for the beer. Good seating outside
in the plaza in Santa Cruz.
Pamperito |
:
c/ Salado, 2 (Triana).
:
Yet another alternative from Argentina in Triana close to
a number of other international restaurants. They have affordable
menus of the day, starting over 5€ and serve up grilled
meat as well as other dishes.
Restaurante
Japonés Kaede |
:
c/ Santa Maria la Blanca (Puerta de la Carne)
They say they're the
best Japanese restaurant in Sevilla and I think they're
right. Aside from specializing in sushi they also offer
the typical arrangement where the food is prepared by the
chef on the grill in front of you. The house menu will fill
you up for 17€, but then there's the drink.
Sol
Cocina Asiatica |
:
Avda de la Buhaira, c/Jose Recuerda Rubio (Buhaira).

Get your authentic sushi boat here! Plenty of specialties
with authentic Vietnamese, Thai and Cantonese food aside
from the Japanese cuisine. A little bit of everything, and
quite tasty from the Thai experience I had. Ample seating,
well lit and very nice staff.
Restaurante Japonés
& Coreano Jin Da Lai |
: Marques de Parada, about 1 block from Reyes Católicos
(Arenal).

Recently remodeled they offer various menus, ranging in
price from 8-20€. Spring rolls, sushi and some typical
Korean dishes as well.
Samurai
Restaurante Japonés |
:
c/ Salado, 6 (Triana).
:
954 281 936.
:
Another place where you can get your meat, seafood and vegetables
grilled right in front of you. Sushi and udon, great noodle
soups, are the other mainstays. Nicely decorated. And if
you can't make it here to eat there's always the telesushi service - home delivery!
Sakura
Restaurante Japonés |
:
Avda San Francisco Javier, 19 (Nervión).

Stands out from other Japanese restaurants in Sevilla offering
more budget friendly dishes. Starting with menus from 5€
during the day you can eat well without spending a lot.

It's been a while since I visited, so memory must serve
me well. This is located in the heart of the tourist district
but they have some affordable dishes and a reasonably priced menu del día. There is a lot to choose from
- a very large menu which may make it harder to make a choice.
I had fried rice the last time and it was fairly tasty.
Ok, I've got to be honest in that I've yet to find a good
Chinese restaurant like back home. The food is good for
Sevilla Chinese food but doesn't live up to the choices
back in the states. Anyway, they are nice folks running
the place, they have a cool fish tank and a very authentic
looking place.

Cheap eats here for those on a budget. Plus get all your

own a great little chinese supermarket, Hiper Oriente, and
a locutorio, where you can make phone calls. Nice
folks at the market. As for the food it's not bad, but like
I said above about the Chinese food here...

A family favorite - my sister and
brother-in-law love this place. I've been once and we had
a very good meal of beef in oyster sauce and some good fried
rice. Egg rolls, like most places in Sevilla, are much bigger
than back home. Service was good, price as well, and atmosphere
was what you would expect.

One of Seville's Thai only restaurants is just across the
avenue from the Jardines Murillo and close to the Prado
de San Sebastian bus station. The atmosphere is certainly
nice, with enough plants (and humidity) to make you feel
as if you were in a rain forest. A sampling of the dishes:
wonderful salads, decent noodles and some spring rolls which
lacked any taste whatsoever. Many of the dishes can be shared
between 2 people, which makes the high prices a little less
than expected. Overall we enjoyed it, but note it's not
a place for a cheap meal.

Get your authentic sushi boat here! Plenty of specialties
with authentic Vietnamese, Thai and Cantonese food aside
from the Japanese cuisine. A little bit of everything, and
quite tasty from the Thai experience I had. Ample seating,
well lit and very nice staff.
Burger King
: Centro - Campana (Centro).
: Centro - Reyes Católicos
(Arenal)
: c/ Canal Ronda del Tamarguillo
(Nervión)
: c/ Luis Montoto (Nervión)
: Avda de Kansas City, close
to train station (Santa Justa)
: burgerking.es
The Whopper, hamburgers, fries and onion rings. As with
McDonald's it's all here and it all tastes the same, although
to me the Whopper seems smaller. Ok, I am convinced the
Whopper is smaller. In February they opened their
newest location in La Campana next door to McDonald's.
Kentucky
Fried Chicken
:
Reyes Católicos (Arenal).
: kfc.es
Just opened in October of 2003 it's
the newest American fast food restaurant to come to Sevilla.
The menu is pretty much the same as it is in the States
- chicken meals, buckets of chicken and side dishes. Somehow
15 Euros for an 8-piece bucket of chicken seems very expensive.
Perhaps they're paying for the chicken's airfare to Spain?
They do offer two "burgers", which are really
chicken sandwiches. Well located and with a good amount
of outdoor seating when it's warm.
McDonald's
:
Campana, 5 (Centro).
: Plaza de Armas (Arenal)
: Republica Argentina, 25 (Los
Remedios)
: Paseo de las Delicias, 5 (Centro-Puerta
Jerez)
: mcdonalds.es
Big Mac, quarter-pounder with cheese, fries...it's all here
except breakfast. Amazingly it all tastes exactly the
same as back home, too. If you want breakfast at a McDonald's
in Europe you have to head north, as in Germany and the
UK.
Pans & Company
: La Campana (Centro).
: Plaza de Armas C.C. (Arenal)
: Nervión Plaza (Nervión)
: pansandcompany.com
When Subway left Sevilla some years ago Pans & Company
took over as the chain sandwich restaurant. Offering about
20 subs or bocadillos on some chewy bread they
have a few international sandwiches along with their take
on traditional Spanish bocadillos. Many locations
in the center and elsewhere make it a fast food alternative
with (in some cases) less grease.
Domino's Pizza
:
Reyes Católicos (Centro).
: c/ Luis de Morales, 20 (Nervión)
: Avda Republica Argentina, 3
(Los Remedios)
: Avda Carrero Blanco, 26 (Los
Remedios)
: Rda Capuchinos, 3.
: dominospizza.es
Pizza and...pizza!! A few spanish
takes on the otherwise American chain menu. Domino's took over all of the Pizza Hut locations in Seville. I'm not sure what to think.
Starbucks
:
Avda Constitución (Centro).
:
La Campana (Centro)
:
c/ San Fernando, 1 (Puerta Jerez-Centro)
: Nervión Plaza (Nervión)
: starbucks.es
We were invited to the grand opening of Sevilla's
second Starbucks just before the Christmas holidays. The
second location is in Nervión Plaza on the ground
floor close to where the supermarket Mas y Mas is located.
This is a little smaller than the first location on Avda
Constitución near the Cathedral, but they are serving
up the same coffee and pastries. For those seeking a smoke-free
place to enjoy coffee they also have a non-smoking section.
The location by the Cathedral offer wireless internet access
(WiFi) but at a price. Locations which recently opened include
Puerta de Jerez, just across from Hotel Alfonso XIII and
the University of Seville, and the latest is La Campana,
in the U.S. effort to cover this area with our own creations
(ie: McDonald's, Burger King, Ben & Jerry's).

My main complaint is that there's no location in the center!
They offer pizza, burgers, fries, chicken wings and
salads: American style with a Spanish touch. They also offer
"sandwishes", which I believe is just a typo in
their ad. Any of the burgers are great except Viejo Sloppy Joe's. I'm not sure what's in this other than
hamburger, but it's a mushy mass of meat with some kind
of sauce and it just ain't a burger! The rest are good.
Choose from 20 some pizzas, Spanish and Mexican versions
included. Some pizzas are missing tomato sauce, or they
use little. But I don't know why I'm complaining because
the food is really good! Chef salad with blue cheese dressing
is pretty darn close to what you'd get back home. Home delivery
is quick - look for the guys on the motos with the Sloppy
Joe's box on the back!
Telepizza
:
Many, many locations.
: telepizza.es
About the only reason to eat Telepizza is if you want home
delivery. The pizza isn't that bad, but in comparison to
just about any other option it comes out below. They do
deliver just about anywhere and offer salads and other sandwiches
along with pizza. You'll see these guys zipping around town
on motos just about every night.
Il Forno
: c/ Trajano, 44 (Alameda).
:
If you want to do some international dining but don't know
exactly what you want then try Il Forno on calle Trajano.
They offer a number of Italian dishes as the name would
indicate, but they also offer plenty of recipes from other
countries with Mexican, Greek, and Eastern inspired platos and salads.
