La Bartola<\/p>\n

After flying under the radar for a long time, this softly lit, unassuming restaurant, a short walk from Seville’s best free Flamenco bar (La Carboner\u00eda), is finally getting the recognition it deserves. La Bartola serves a mixture of inventive Asian fusion dishes and traditional plates, though it’s always best to explore its revolving specials menu. Depending on what’s available, you might find a tapa of tataki, made with fresh bluefin tuna from Barbate, or a raci\u00f3n of solomillo Ib\u00e9rico \u2014 succulent grilled pork. Always finish with the moreish tarta de queso con frutas del bosque (cheesecake with forest berries) or a glug of honey-sweet orange wine. Adam Turner<\/p>\n

Las Golondrinas<\/p>\n

A Trianero will tell you you need a passport to enter Triana from Seville. It’s a joke, of course, but it highlights the sense of distinction locals on the other side of the Guadalquivir River feel from Sevillanos. Still, this working-class area, known for seafaring and flamenco, is worth a wander over the bridge as it\u2019s home to some of the best lesser-known places to eat in Seville. Las Golondrinas, on Calle Antillano Campos, is one of them. The lively, no-frills restaurant has everything you want from a traditional Andalusian tapas bar: blue-and-white azulejos tiles, grunting bartenders, and cheap, hearty small plates that fly out of the kitchen quicker than you can say “\u00a1una ca\u00f1a, por favour!”. This small, humble place is known for its champi\u00f1ones \u2014 mushrooms topped with a herby green alioli \u2014 but the puntas de solomillo (grilled tenderloin), served on a bed of deep-fried, crispy chips, is equally memorable.
