Restaurant
El Rinconcillo
Founded in 1670 and billed as the oldest bar in Seville, a tiled and wood-panelled tavern serving traditional Andalusian tapas at its long counter.
A Sevillian classic for more than 20 years near the Jardines de la Buhaira, known for seasonal produce, quality meat and fish from the Gulf of Cádiz.
Good to know
Tribeca has been one of Seville's reference restaurants for more than 20 years. It sits near the Jardines de la Buhaira on the edge of the Nervión district, east of the old town, and is listed in the 2026 Michelin Guide for Spain, which describes it as a Sevillian classic. Despite the New York name, the cooking is firmly rooted in Spanish produce.
The focus is on top-quality ingredients prepared with care rather than on elaborate presentation. The kitchen follows the seasons and the market, with excellent meat and fish of the day, much of it from the Gulf of Cádiz, and many items sold by the piece or by weight, so the bill depends on what you choose. There is also a tasting menu that changes with the market and runs to a long sequence of savoury courses and several desserts. The wine list covers the main Spanish regions.
It is a favourite with local families, business diners and anyone marking a special occasion, and the Michelin Guide singles it out as family-friendly. The atmosphere is polished but not stiff. Prices are at the upper end of the Seville market, particularly for the best fish and shellfish, so check the price per weight with your waiter before you order.
According to the Michelin Guide, Tribeca opens for lunch only on Mondays and for lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday, and it closes on Sundays. Book ahead, particularly for dinner at weekends. The restaurant has wheelchair access, air conditioning and a terrace. Lunch is the main meal of the day for many Sevillian families, so weekday lunchtimes can be as busy as dinner, and a long lunch here followed by a walk in the Buhaira gardens makes a pleasant change from the old town.
Getting there is easiest by taxi from the old town, which takes around ten minutes, or by metro to the Nervión area. The Jardines de la Buhaira, a small park with the remains of an Almohad palace and garden, is next door, and the Nervión Plaza shopping centre and the Sánchez-Pizjuán football stadium are a short walk away, so it can also suit fans heading to a Sevilla FC match.
