NileGuide Expert tip:
The more formal dining room on the first floor offers 3 to 5 course menus ranging from 27-47€, but the real highlight of El Rinconcillo is hanging out at the mahogany tapas bar upstairs to people watch.
Description:
Looking for a truly
Sevillana experience? Check out the oldest bar in Sevilla for affordable tapas and drinks in a casual atmosphere. Hams now hang from the ceiling of this former convent that was founded in 1670 and converted into a restaurant in 1860, and the same family still owns this lively establishment after seven generations. Entertaining bartenders move quickly, chalking orders behind the bar for crowds that are always coming and going. Specialties include
espinacas con garbanzos (spinach with garbanzo beans) and
pavía de bacalao (fried cod). Perhaps you'd like to try something a little different, like
pimientos asados con huevos de cordoniz (roasted peppers with quail egg), or stick with Spanish tradition and order
jamón serrano ibérico (dry-cured Spanish ham). The bodega offers a wide selection of Spanish wines including sherry from nearby Jerez de la Frontera.
