Indubitably, my favourite native place to eat is Periqui Chico, within the residential neighborhood of Los Remedios. It’s extra a tapas bar than a restaurant, with a bar space and some tables to take a seat at. It’s very native and pure, and with beautiful seasonal merchandise. One other favourite is Espacio Eslava, within the San Lorenzo neighborhood, a couple of meters from the Church of Gran Poder. It completely combines Sevillian classicism with a contact of modernism; it has a small terrace and excessive tables; and it’s excellent for that first beer or sherry wine.
