Chicarreros

Chicarreros is a smart, intimate bistro on a narrow pedestrian street behind Seville's Ayuntamiento, the city hall. It takes its name from the street, which in turn remembers the craftsmen who once made children's shoes in this part of the old town. It is listed in the 2026 Michelin Guide for Spain and belongs to the Catalina restaurant group.

The style is contemporary European cooking with nods to Spanish produce. The menu includes a dedicated section for caviar and a tasting menu, alongside an à la carte selection, and there is a full wine list. The dish most often singled out is the steak tartare made from aged beef and served with bone marrow. The overall aim, in the restaurant's own words, is a complete gastronomic experience for relaxed, unhurried meals in a sophisticated setting.

It suits couples and anyone looking for a special-occasion dinner in the centre without the formality of a starred dining room; the Michelin Guide recommends it as a romantic choice. The atmosphere is calm and the dining room small, so it is less suited to large groups or families with young children. Prices are in the upper-middle range, especially if you add caviar or the tasting menu with wine.

Chicarreros opens from Tuesday to Saturday for lunch and dinner and is closed on Sundays and Mondays, according to the Michelin Guide. Reservations are handled directly by the restaurant by phone or by email, and booking is advisable at weekends. Smart casual clothes fit the setting. If you want to try the caviar or the tasting menu, mention it when you book so the team can plan the meal, and allow around two hours for a relaxed dinner with several courses and wine.

Calle Chicarreros is a short pedestrian street close to the Plaza de San Francisco, right in the middle of the old town. The Cathedral is about five minutes' walk away, and the Plaza Nueva and the Avenida de la Constitución are just around the corner. After dinner, the bars around the Plaza del Salvador and the Alfalfa are close by for a drink.
