Restaurant in Seville, Spain
Bib Gourmand Andalusian cooking, serious wine list.
A Michelin Bib Gourmand holder with back-to-back Star Wine List #1 rankings and a €€ price point, Sobretablas is among the strongest value propositions in Seville's contemporary dining scene. Chef Camilla Ferraro's Andalusian cooking is technically grounded and regionally rooted, shaped by time at El Celler de Can Roca. Easy to book; hard to fault at this price.
Book Sobretablas if you want serious Andalusian cooking at a price that makes comparable restaurants in Madrid or Barcelona look overpriced. This Michelin Bib Gourmand holder in Seville's El Porvenir neighbourhood is one of the clearest value propositions in southern Spain right now: a €€ price point, a wine program that earned Star Wine List #1 in both 2025 and 2026, and a kitchen shaped by time at El Celler de Can Roca in Girona. The booking is easy. The cooking is the thing.
Sobretablas sits on Calle Colombia, close to the María Luisa Park and the Plaza de España, in a building that carries its own history. The name is borrowed from a stage in sherry production — the moment when a wine-master decides whether a wine will become a fino or an oloroso — and that reference is not incidental. Sherry and Andalusian wine culture run through the restaurant's identity in a way that most of the city's contemporary dining rooms do not attempt. The front of house is run by Camilla Ferraro's partner, who acts as sommelier, and the wine list has been recognised at the leading of Star Wine List's rankings two years running. If wine pairing matters to your visit, Sobretablas is among the leading addresses in Seville for it.
The atmosphere is calm without being stiff. El Porvenir is a residential neighbourhood away from the tourist circuit, which means the dining room operates at a quieter register than the tapas bars and tourist-facing restaurants around the cathedral and the Triana market. The energy here is local and considered , tables tend to be occupied by people who have come specifically for the food, which shapes the mood in the room. It is a good place for a conversation-led dinner. Noise levels are moderate even on a full Saturday service.
Chef Ferraro's cooking is rooted in the regional and traditional , Andalusian ingredients, recognisable Southern Spanish references , but it does not stop there. The Michelin Bib Gourmand (2025) and consecutive Opinionated About Dining rankings (2024 and 2025) point to a kitchen that is consistent rather than showy. The Sobretablas Deluxe tasting menu, available with wine pairing, is the format that lets the kitchen show its full range. The chickpea and red prawn velouté has drawn specific recognition from Michelin inspectors, and it speaks to Ferraro's approach: technically grounded, regionally anchored, with enough individual character to make the food memorable. Sharing options are also available for those who prefer a less structured format.
If you are in Seville for several days, Sobretablas rewards more than one visit and suits different approaches on each. On a first visit, take the Sobretablas Deluxe tasting menu with wine pairing. This is the version of the restaurant that justifies every award on the list, and the sommelier's selection will give you a working education in Andalusian and sherry-adjacent wines that most formal wine bars in the city cannot match. On a second visit, try the sharing format: a looser, more sociable way to eat through the menu that suits a group of three or four and lets you order around specific ingredients rather than following a set sequence. A third visit , if you are a regular visitor to Seville , is worth timing around a Tuesday or Wednesday lunch service, when the dining room is quieter and the kitchen tends to be at its most focused. Note that the restaurant is closed Mondays and Sundays, so mid-week lunch is the low-pressure slot.
For food and wine enthusiasts building a wider picture of contemporary Andalusian cooking, Sobretablas fits naturally alongside a visit to Kaleja in Málaga, which takes a similarly modern approach to regional ingredients further down the coast. Further afield, Aponiente in El Puerto de Santa María represents the highest-ambition end of Andalusian fine dining if you want a single-visit reference point for the region at its most technical. Sobretablas operates in a different register , more accessible, less theatrical , but the quality gap between them is smaller than the price gap suggests.
Reservations: Easy to book; no significant wait even for weekend evenings. Hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 1:45–10:15 pm; closed Monday and Sunday. Budget: €€ , one of the stronger value positions in Seville's contemporary dining tier. Wine pairing: Available as an add-on to the tasting menu; strongly recommended given the sommelier's background and the Star Wine List rankings. Getting there: El Porvenir neighbourhood, close to the María Luisa Park; accessible by taxi or a short walk from central Seville hotels. Group size: Works well for two on the tasting menu; sharing format suits three to four. Dress: Smart casual is appropriate; the neighbourhood and price point mean the room is not formal, but it is not casual either.

The very building where wine and dishes are served has almost a...; The culinary interest in this restaurant is on the up thanks to the fact that the young couple here (Camila Ferraro is in charge of the kitchen, with her partner acting as sommelier and running the front of house) met while working at the legendary El Celler de Can Roca. The chef’s humble, consistent approach is evident in her modern cooking with clear regional and traditional influences, to which she adds her own distinctive personality to cuisine that includes options for sharing and the Sobretablas Deluxe tasting menu (with an added wine pairing). On the latter, we particularly enjoyed the delicious velouté of chickpeas and red prawns.

How Sobretablas stacks up against the competition.
Yes, particularly if the occasion calls for serious food and wine without a high-end price tag. The Sobretablas Deluxe tasting menu with wine pairing gives you a structured, memorable meal, and the Star Wine List #1 ranking for 2026 means the sommelier side is as strong as the kitchen. For a formal celebration requiring a private room or white-tablecloth formality, Abantal (Michelin one-star) may be a better fit.
The venue holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and a Star Wine List award but is priced at €€, which points to a relaxed but considered atmosphere rather than a formal dress code. Neat, presentable clothing is appropriate — there is no indication in the venue record of a strict dress requirement. Avoid arriving in beachwear or gym clothes.
The body content notes that Sobretablas is easy to book with no significant wait even for weekend evenings, so advance planning is not as pressured as at many award-winning venues. That said, if you have a specific date locked in, booking a week or two out removes any risk, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings when the Bib Gourmand recognition tends to draw visitors.
Specific dietary accommodation policies are not documented in the available venue record. The menu includes both sharing options and a full tasting menu, which suggests some flexibility in format. check the venue's official channels before booking if you have firm dietary requirements — the tasting menu format, in particular, benefits from advance notice.
Service runs continuously from 1:45 pm, so lunch and dinner share the same kitchen and menu rather than being separate offerings — an early booking effectively becomes lunch, a later one dinner. If you want to make an afternoon of it near the María Luisa Park and Plaza de España, booking at opening time gives you the most flexibility. Dinner slots later in the evening tend to suit the tasting menu with wine pairing format more naturally.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
