Dishes that delight the palate

The typical dishes of Seville are a sample of the soul of the city, where each recipe tells a story and represents the very essence of its culture. Each dish is a combination of local ingredients and culinary traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation.
Salmorejo. A real gem of Sevillian cuisine. This cold dish, similar to gazpacho, is a delight for the senses. Prepared with ripe tomatoes, bread, olive oil, garlic and vinegar, salmorejo is a unique culinary experience not to be missed on your visit to Seville. Some places add hard-boiled egg and chopped Serrano ham on top, giving it a touch of elegance and flavour. With every spoonful, you will feel the freshness of Andalusia on your palate.

Pescaíto Frito. For lovers of seafood and fresh fish, pescaíto frito is a real temptation. Seville, despite being inland, prides itself on offering this seafood dish that evokes the flavours of the Mediterranean. Small fish such as boquerones and puntillitas are battered and fried to a crispy, golden texture. It is a pleasure to enjoy this delicacy accompanied by a cold beer, as Sevillians do in tapas bars.

Oxtail. This dish is a true star of Seville's typical gastronomy. This traditional stew is prepared with care, braising the oxtail meat in red wine and various spices until it melts in the mouth. The tender and soft texture, together with the intense flavour, make this dish an unbeatable delicacy. Accompanied by fried potatoes or mashed potatoes, oxtail is a perfect choice for those looking for a culinary experience full of tradition and authenticity.

Cazón en Adobo. Marinated dogfish is another must on the Sevillian table. This seafood delicacy consists of dogfish, a type of shark, marinated in a mixture of vinegar, garlic, paprika and other spices before being fried to obtain a crunchy texture on the outside and juicy on the inside. Its unique flavour and its presentation in tapa format make it a mouth-watering snack for every palate. You can't leave Seville without trying this culinary marvel.

Huevos a la Flamenca. Eggs a la flamenca are a true explosion of colours and flavours that reflect the joy and passion of Andalusian folklore. This recipe combines eggs, tomato, peas, chorizo, ham and other vegetables, baked until the yolks are set but slightly runny. The presentation in individual casseroles adds a special touch to this dish that is not only delicious, but also a representation of Seville's culture and tradition.
