Restaurant in Seville, Spain
Market cooking in the historic centre, value intact.
A Michelin Plate-recognised Andalusian restaurant in Seville's Casco Antiguo, Tradevo Centro delivers market-driven fish and daily specials at an honest €€ price point. The fresh fish counter — priced by weight — is the main draw, and the half-portion format makes it well suited to exploratory, sharing-style dining. Book if you want ingredient-led cooking in the historic centre without the formality of a tasting menu.
If you are in Seville's historic centre looking for honest Andalusian cooking at a price that does not punish you for eating well, Tradevo Centro is the right call. It works particularly well for food-focused travellers who want market-driven daily specials rather than a fixed tasting format, and for groups that want to graze across half-portions without committing to a single direction. Right now, as Seville moves through the spring market season, the fish counter at the front of the room is at its most varied — the kind of display that makes the decision of what to order easier than reading the menu.
Tradevo Centro sits on one of the Casco Antiguo's smaller squares, the kind of address that rewards walkers who are paying attention. The restaurant's front-of-house display cabinet is the practical centrepiece of the experience: fresh fish, hake roe, prawns, squid, and more, most priced by weight, arranged so you can see exactly what you are choosing before you sit down. That transparency is not incidental , it shapes how you order and how you should think about the bill.
The cooking is grounded in Andalusian tradition with a contemporary touch, pulling from market sourcing rather than a locked seasonal menu. Daily specials are where the kitchen shows the most range, and the half-portion option across many menu items makes Tradevo Centro genuinely good for sharing in the tapas spirit without the formality of a tasting structure. This flexibility is one of the clearest reasons to pick it over more rigid competitors at similar or higher price points.
Michelin has awarded the restaurant a Plate in both 2024 and 2025 , a signal of consistent, well-executed cooking rather than experimental ambition. That distinction matters for setting expectations: this is not a destination for boundary-pushing technique, but for reliable, ingredient-led Andalusian food served in a room with energy and without ceremony.
At the €€ price point, the service model at Tradevo Centro aligns well with what you are paying. The room is lively rather than hushed, the pace is market-restaurant rather than fine dining, and the staff are oriented around the product , pointing you toward what arrived that morning, explaining the by-weight pricing on the fish counter , rather than performing a theatrical hospitality script. That is exactly the right register for this type of venue.
Where this matters for your decision: if you are comparing Tradevo Centro against Seville's €€€ options like Cañabota or Manzil, you are trading some service depth for a more informal, ingredient-first experience that costs noticeably less. That trade is worth making if the produce and the energy of the room matter more to you than tableside polish. It is not the right choice if you need the full-service architecture for a formal celebration.
The Google rating of 4.3 across 1,890 reviews is a useful signal here: at volume, the venue holds its reputation. That kind of score across nearly two thousand data points suggests consistent execution rather than a few exceptional nights.
Reservations: Booking is rated Easy , walk-ins are plausible, but calling ahead during peak spring and summer weeks is sensible given the square's foot traffic. Budget: €€ , the by-weight fish options can push the bill higher than the base price tier suggests, so factor that in if the display cabinet draws you in, as it likely will. Dress: No formal dress code applies; smart casual is the practical standard for the Casco Antiguo at dinner. Location: Cuesta del Rosario 15, Casco Antiguo, Seville , on foot from most central hotels and a short walk from the Cathedral quarter.
Tradevo Centro occupies a specific and useful position in Seville's restaurant range. It is not competing with Abantal, Seville's Michelin-starred creative tasting menu restaurant, nor with Az-Zait for contemporary precision. It sits squarely in the market-driven, ingredient-led middle ground where Andalusian cooking is at its most direct. For that specific offer , fresh fish priced by weight, daily specials, half-portions, and a lively square-side setting , it is one of the more reliable options in the centre. Pair a meal here with time exploring Seville's bar scene or use it as the anchor of a day that includes the broader Seville restaurant landscape.
For Andalusian cooking elsewhere in the region, Andala in Marbella and Garum 2.1 in Córdoba offer useful points of comparison if you are travelling through southern Spain more broadly. And if your appetite runs to Spain's highest-end kitchens , Quique Dacosta in Dénia, El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, or Arzak in San Sebastián , Tradevo Centro serves as a reminder of what Spanish cooking looks like when it stays grounded in the market rather than the lab.
Book Tradevo Centro if you want market-sourced Andalusian food in the historic centre at a price that leaves room in the budget for the rest of your trip. The Michelin Plate (2024 and 2025), a 4.3 rating across close to 1,900 reviews, and the transparency of the fish counter all point to a kitchen that delivers consistently. It is not where you go for a formal anniversary dinner or a long tasting menu evening , for that, look at Abantal or Balbuena y Huertas. But for a confident, ingredient-led lunch or dinner in the Casco Antiguo, it earns its place on the shortlist without qualification.

Side-by-side comparison to help you decide where to book.
The venue is set up as a lively dining room fronting a small square in the Casco Antiguo, and the format leans toward table dining rather than a dedicated bar counter. Walk-ins are plausible at quieter times, but if bar-counter eating is your priority, Cañabota is better set up for that format in Seville.
Go straight to the display cabinet of fresh fish — hake roe, prawns, and squid priced by weight are the draw here. Daily specials built around market sourcing are worth asking about on arrival. Many menu items can be ordered as half-portions, which makes it easy to cover more ground without overspending at the €€ price point.
Booking is rated Easy, so walk-ins are realistic outside peak periods. That said, calling ahead during busy spring and summer weeks is sensible — the square location draws foot traffic and tables can fill quickly at lunch. A day or two's notice is usually sufficient.
At €€, yes — the Michelin Plate recognition (2024 and 2025) confirms the cooking punches above its price bracket. Market-sourced Andalusian food with daily specials and the option to order half-portions means you can eat well without committing to a heavy bill. It is good value relative to what Seville's Michelin-starred option, Abantal, will cost you.
It works for a relaxed celebratory meal between two people, but the atmosphere is lively rather than intimate — this is not a hushed, white-tablecloth setting. For a more formal special occasion in Seville, Abantal offers the structured tasting-menu experience that tends to suit that context better. Tradevo Centro is the right call when the occasion calls for great food without the ceremony.
The venue's format is centred on a la carte and daily specials rather than a structured tasting menu, and the half-portion option gives you flexibility to graze across several dishes. If a formal tasting progression is what you are after in Seville, Abantal is the more appropriate choice. At Tradevo Centro, ordering freely from the fresh fish cabinet and the day's specials is the smarter approach.
Cañabota is the comparison if seafood quality is the priority and you are willing to spend more. Sobretablas and Almansa · Pasión & brasas are worth considering for a different angle on Andalusian cooking at comparable price points. Abantal is the step up if budget is not the constraint and you want Michelin-starred structure. Manzil covers different ground entirely with its own format.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
