Cañabota

Cañabota is the restaurant to choose in Seville if you love fish and seafood. It holds one Michelin star in the 2026 guide for Spain and a Repsol Sol, and it has built its reputation on the catch from the Atlantic coast of Andalucía, cooked with precision over open flames and grills.

The look is closer to a smart gastrobar than a formal dining room. At the entrance a fish counter displays the day's catch, and the open kitchen lets you watch the cooks at the charcoal grill, especially if you sit at the bar, which many regulars prefer. The à la carte menu changes daily depending on what is best at the market, so it is worth asking the staff for recommendations, while the tasting menu offers a guided tour of the kitchen's style, combining traditional preparations with modern technique.

The same team runs La Barra de Cañabota a few doors along at Orfila 5, a more casual Sevillian bar and seafood house where you can drink beer, vermouth, sherry or champagne with tapas such as ensaladilla, croquetas and oysters. It is listed in the Michelin Guide in its own right and makes a good alternative if you cannot get a table at the main restaurant or want a lighter meal.

Cañabota suits couples, food lovers and anyone celebrating, and it is one of the most sought-after tables in the city, so book well ahead through the website. The Michelin Guide lists it as open Monday to Friday for lunch and dinner and closed at weekends, so plan accordingly. Prices are at the top end for Seville, particularly for the tasting menu with wine. Because the à la carte menu depends on the day's catch, dishes and prices change from day to day, so ask about the fish of the day and how it will be cooked before ordering.

Calle Orfila is in the centre of the old town, close to the church of San Andrés and the Plaza de la Encarnación. Las Setas is about five minutes away on foot, and the Alameda de Hércules and the Museo de Bellas Artes are both within ten to fifteen minutes. The shopping streets of Velázquez and Tetuán are also close by.
