Just because you want to save your funds for some beautiful handpainted ceramics you saw doesn't mean you have to miss out on tasty dining. So if you find yourself hungry and on a budget, here are some tips. Bar-hopping and munching on tapas are a great way to try various dishes without breaking the bank. On the other hand, if you need to take a load off after a long day of site-seeing, look for restaurants advertising a menú, which normally includes a drink, two small course dishes, bread, and dessert for an extremely affordable price. Bar Carlos Alberto, for example, offers a savory menú for under five euros.
Steer clear of Santa Cruz; because it's so beautiful, it's a major tourist area and restaurants tend to be pricey for that very reason. Instead, head to Triana or the Macarena. Sit at one of Kiosco de las Flores' (c/ Betis) outdoor tables for some of the best pescaíto frito (fried fish) in Sevilla. Mesón Serranito (c/ Alfonso XII 9), El Pucherito (c/ Relator 37), and Entre Dos Hermandades (c/ Recaredo 13) are a few more quality dining establishments that will leave you with a full stomach but not an empty wallet.
