Sobretablas

Sobretablas opened in October 2018 in a chalet in El Porvenir, a quiet residential neighbourhood a few minutes from the Plaza de España and the Parque de María Luisa. It is run by the chef Camila Ferraro and the sommelier Robert Tetas, who met while working at El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, and it is listed in the 2026 Michelin Guide for Spain.

The name comes from the world of sherry: sobretablas is the stage in the Marco de Jerez when a young wine is assessed and the winemaker decides whether it will become a fino or an oloroso. That link to Jerez runs through the restaurant. The kitchen takes Andalusian tradition as its starting point and revisits classic dishes with contemporary technique, using local ingredients, lesser-known varieties and new producers. The wine list is built around the generous wines of Jerez, with selections from Burgundy, Champagne and Piedmont and older Rioja vintages, and runs to more than a thousand references.

You can choose a tasting menu that sets out the restaurant's interpretation of Andalucía or order from the à la carte menu, with wines by the bottle, by the glass or as a pairing. The tasting menu can be adapted for allergies and intolerances if you say so when booking, and there are vegetarian and vegan options. The rooms of the house are bright and connected, and the atmosphere is more like a relaxed home than a formal dining room.

It suits food and wine lovers, couples and anyone curious about sherry beyond the aperitif. Prices are in the upper-middle range for Seville and good value for the level of cooking. Sobretablas opens Tuesday to Saturday for lunch and dinner and closes on Sundays and Mondays, with special openings and closures around holidays listed on its website, including an annual summer break. Book ahead, especially for weekend dinners.

The restaurant is a short taxi ride or a 20 to 25 minute walk from the Cathedral, past the Parque de María Luisa. It pairs well with an afternoon at the Plaza de España, and the Avenida de la Palmera with its early 20th-century villas is close by.
