El Rinconcillo

The 20 Best Restaurants in Seville, Spain | Eater

"Known as the oldest tapas bar in Seville, El Rinconcillo opened its doors in 1670 just two blocks southeast of the Palacio de las Dueñas. The decor is quintessentially Sevillano: colorful Arabic tiles, dark wooden barrels, and a curtain of cured Iberian hams hanging over the bar. Though the crowds of tourists and locals may persuade you to ask for a quiet table upstairs, it’s best to embrace the chaos and huddle around the bar area to eat standing up in the traditional tapas style. Order the espinacas con garbanzos (braised spinach and garbanzos), and watch the servers tally your order directly on the mahogany bar, which acts as a chalkboard." - Megan Lloyd
