a complete gastronomic route through this district of Seville

So, on this route that we propose Let’s take Alameda from the sun to the moon: a good breakfast to start, a midday beer, a lunch with table and tablecloth, an afternoon with a cocktail in hand, an aperitif of oysters and champagne and, to finish, a traveling and fun dinner. All without leaving this little gastronomic planet that is Alameda. Prepare to go out and not go into the house because we are going for a walk.

Breakfast Product Key: Mehl

We begin the route where the first appetite of the day ignites: the breakfast. A few meters from the Alameda de Hércules square, Mehl has become one of those places where the coffee tastes like something more than just coffee and where the bread is treated the way it deserves.

Half cafeteria, half small produce store, Mehl works with Mr. Chava’s specialty coffees (Osuna) and a selection of artisan breads from bakeries such as The Essence or Corian Ángel Puchi. Wheat or whole grain breads, Galician moñas, ciabattas or rye and spelled muffins form the basis for toasts different from the usual jack, horse and king. Here the game is to combine good bread with oil, butter, artisanal jams or sausages from small producers. Their salmon bagel is one of the best in Seville. And those who want granola, fruit, yogurt or artisanal pastries will also get there.

While having breakfast, you can browse the shelves: oils from the province, artisan cheeses, jams, pastas, kombuchas, local beers and Andalusian wines, all designed to bring a bit of countryside and proximity to the home, or even choose a board game to entertain yourself. The bright place, with neutral tones and large windows, invites you to take the day peacefully before launching into the hustle and bustle of the Alameda.

Cane and well-drained vermouth: Casa Vizcaíno

From 12 p.m., the desire for a cold beer takes over of anyone passing through the region. It’s time to change the café for the blonde and move on to a classic: Casa Vizcaíno, one of those bars where iced Cruzcampo and vermouth continue to mark the liturgy of the aperitif.

Located nearby just street, Vizcaíno is one of those beer temples where time is measured in beers and not clocks.

Old bar, clientele of several generations, neighborhood atmosphere and this point of joyful noise which announces that the day has gained momentum. The beer is served very cold, with its foam in place, and is accompanied by simple and very Sevillian tapas: tortilla skewers, patatas bravas, montaditos, a homemade stew or gazpacho in a glass when the heat arrives.

You don’t need much more: here the important thing is the ritual of the aperitif, resting your elbow on the bar, ordering “another round” and letting the Alameda wake up around you.

Iberian lunch at table and tablecloth: Lalola

Beer homework is over, it’s time to treat yourself to a good tribute to the Iberian flavor and sit down to eat properly. For this, in the orbit of Alameda, the logical stop is Lalola, located at One Shot Conde de Torrejón Hotel.

Javi Abascal’s restaurant has established itself as one of the great temples of Iberian pork in Seville, with Sol Repsol and Bib Gourmand recognition from the Michelin Guide. Your letter and above all Its tasting menu revolves around Iberian in all its forms: noble meats, fine offal, stews inherited from family recipes and less common cuts which are treated here with care and technique.

A house where Andalusian cuisine looks naturally in the mirror and allows for contemporary nods without losing the traditional flavor. It’s the perfect place for that “sit, slow down and enjoy” lunch: a meal that splits the day in half and justifies a nap…or the slow walk back to the Alameda.

Tardeo, micheladas and Mexican desires: Taqueria Lalupe

After the after-dinner coffee (or shot), the Alameda changes its skin again and arrives one of the best times of the day: the afternoon. For the moment when you want something fresh, different and with a good atmosphere on the terrace, the compass tells you Lalupe Taqueria.

While a great spot for lunch or dinner, Lalupe also shines as an afternoon stop: a restaurant and cocktail bar with a Mexican accent, kitchen open all day and a terrace perfect for watching the life of Alameda go by. Some of the best micheladas in Seville are served here, as well as margaritas, palomas, mezcals and other drinks who invite you to extend the snack until the evening.

If the stomach asks for something again, the solution is clear: chilaquiles, tacos, starters and dishes to share which combine flavor, measured spiciness and that naughty touch that fits so well with the neighborhood. It’s the kind of place you come to “just for a drink” and end up making a base before dinner.

Oysters and champagne before the night: Oysters & Puñales

The sun is starting to set over the Alameda and it’s time to raise the level of the aperitif by one point. From Lalupe, the natural jump is to cross towards Ostras & Puñales, the oyster bar by Jota Leirós and María Cuervaswho brought the neighborhood a different way to start the night: oysters, champagne and good atmosphere at prices more affordable than you imagine.

Installed in the former premises of the Maquila, the space is structured around a large U-shaped bar covered with tiles, heart of the place and meeting point for a diverse fauna: lifelong neighbors, modern people, couples of curious tourists… On the walls, daggers planted, pop winks and a Sacré-Cœur preside over an aesthetic that mixes classic bar and controlled irreverence.

The letter proposes oysters from different sources and vinaigrettes (natural, spicy, with mango, apple and lime, Bilbao style, fried…) as well as other snacks and dishes from itinerant products, always designed to share. Here, your thing is to order a glass of champagne (or wine, or beer) and a first portion of oysters, let yourself be advised at the bar and assume that you will want to come back.

Dinner with punch and travel cuisine: Marabunda

Night has already fallen and the Alameda goes into full performance mode. To round off the journey with a full-day dinner, cross the street and sit at Marabunda, the project by Francis Balongo and Pablo Gabella who transformed this corner into one of the most fun restaurants in the neighborhood.

Your kitchen Play with the flavors, textures and colors of travel in dishes designed for sharing. In liquid terms, they rely on well-selected natural wines from unique wineries, as well as signature cocktails.

In the first bites: Volandeira with corn and ginger soup, anchovies with fresh cheese or fried pork saam open the door to a menu that does not fear acidic, smoky or spicy nuances. The roasted pumpkin salad with feta, chickpeas and peanuts is a good statement of intentions: a simple product, but handled with grace.

To continue At the center of the table, the house classics reign supreme: carabinero croquettes with seaweed mayonnaise, bravas potatoes, the legendary “chupadeos” wings or even grilled octopus with tatemado chimichurri which sums up the spirit of the place quite well: recognizable cuisine, but with a twist.

In the mainthe game is divided between sea and mountains. Seaside, dishes like charcoal-grilled sea bass with mango-coconut soup and roasted sweet potato mash, or raw tuna with gazpacuelo acevichado and fried squid speak of a chef who moves comfortably between Andalusia and half the world. On the meat side, roast duck with celery root, Iberian pork with marinated pumpkin or beef loin with parsnips complete the game for those who prefer something more robust.

If there is space left, desserts maintain the level: a carrot cake with mango, yogurt and nuts, processed strawberries or a chocolate cake for those who can’t imagine being without cocoa.

At the end of dinner, the Alameda is always lit: there are drinks, music and bars to continue the night… or promise that another day you will do the route in reverse. What is clear is that This neighborhood allows something that few neighborhoods in Seville offer. so naturally: live a whole day without leaving its streets and eat (very) well every moment of the clock.
