Dining in Sevilla
Spanish food is exquisite. Not many people will pass up an authentic plate of quesadillas or enchiladas. Tapas is the keyword here. Tapas are traditional small plates or Spanish food and allow you to enjoy and taste a variety of flavors and dishes. Tapas are usually served as a snack/appetizer with drinks. However many restaurants also serve tapas as a main course. In Seville they have perfected the art of creating meals out of tapas and serve you up to a full size portion of these dishes. However you want the smaller portions so that you can enjoy many different varieties. Some typical dishes you will find are tortilla española (potato omlette), queso manchego (sheep milk cheese), aceitunas (olives), patatas bravas (spicy potatoes), and pulpo gallego (galician octopus). One thing that is important to remember when dining in Seville is that, like all Spanish cities, there are many courses involved and it can get a bit tricky. This is why tapas are so appealing to college students. It is also the less expensive option in most cases. Before going out you might want to know that restaurants do not open until at least 8 or 8:30pm. They don’t even get crowded until 9 or so. This is because the Spanish culture is much more laid back and everything takes its own amount of time. People who go out to eat can easily spend 2 – 3 hours chatting away over some delicious plates. La Manzanilla is a student favorite because the food is so cheap and the portions are large. Stick to the river or the main center to get a good selection of food.
