Our favourite is the magnificent vaulted dining room.
The Mediterranean-inspired menu features beautifully presented dishes full of authentic flavours.
Restaurante La Barca de Calderón
Perfectly positioned on the banks of the river, La Barca de Calderón offers one of the most romantic settings in Seville. Tucked away between two bridges leading to the old town, it feels wonderfully peaceful.
For lunch, guests can enjoy a beautiful sunny terrace. In the evening, the heated terrace allows you to dine outdoors even on cooler nights.
The restaurant also serves breakfast and brunch.
It is particularly well known among locals for its delicious tapas, which we highly recommend trying.

Not only are the views breathtaking, but the architecture and elegant décor are equally impressive.

You can also choose between two tasting menus priced at €44 and €49, offering six or seven courses.
Abades Triana
Situated directly on the riverbank, you’ll feel almost close enough to touch the water.
Prices are slightly higher than those of many restaurants in this selection, but the spectacular terrace views—especially after sunset—and the exceptional quality of the cuisine fully justify the experience.
