Gluten Free in Seville - Gluten Free Survival

Following a long weekend in sunny Seville, this post offers a summary of my gluten-free dining experiences. I revisited lovely Seville in 2026 and have updated this post to include new restaurants I visited.

I’ve always managed to eat safely in the Balearics and Canary Islands, but my visits to Barcelona and Madrid (many years ago) hadn’t been so easy. So it was like coeliac heaven to discover a few restaurants that were completely gluten free in Seville.

As usual, there’s a Resources section at the end of this post with links and lists.

The Research

I didn’t want to take any chances of having my weekend spoilt by a contamination incident. Nor did I want to spend our limited time in the city just traipsing around from one restaurant to the next. So I did some research and prepared a list of restaurants that were in easy travelling distance to the old town where we were staying. Some of my choices of restaurants came from Google searches and Trip Advisor recommendations.

Travelling

We were on an early flight out of Birmingham Airport so I packed some homemade gluten free sandwiches to eat which meant I had flexibility of eating whenever I felt hungry. There is Giraffe restaurant after security in the main departures lounge of the airport which has a great selection of gluten free breakfasts.

Restaurants

Mano De Santo

This simple looking restaurant was an absolute dream as I love Mexican food and it was 100% gluten free. It’s a popular dining spot located on the popular Alameda de Hércules and I visited on two evenings because the food and service were so good. Well…also to be able to try more of the menu. It’s a great place to grab an outdoor table and watch the world go by.

Pictured below are a selection of tacos and enchiladas. Of course, they also had some gluten free beer.

I was a fan of the enchilada which was filled with chicken and sat in a spicy green sauce. The Sopa Azteca was not like a version I’ve had elsewhere. It was more like a filling and delicious chicken broth with pulled chicken, avocado chunks, nacho strips, cream and acid cheese.

Postigo 10

Another amazing restaurant where the menu was gluten free. Postigo 10 was a tapas restaurant with friendly, efficient service. We could see why it was so popular.

I received a proper gluten free roll which was a immediately a high mark! As it was lunchtime, we ordered two tapas dishes to share and a gluten free beer to enjoy alongside the culinary delights.

Al Solito Posto

A very busy restaurant where we had booked a table in advance. They had noted that I needed gluten free on the booking and confirmed this on arrival. On our table, my paper table mat was a different colour to the regular mats, also stating gluten free. I was provided with a gluten free menu (joy!) and there was a good choice across the whole menu which included pizza and many varieties of pasta. We shared a focaccia with tuna and sauted red onions followed by vegetable lasagne (it was more accurately a mushroom lasagne, but I like mushrooms so can’t complain) It was a hearty meal with perfect service, especially from Katya. She was very attentive and kept an eye on my orders as they were served by other colleagues, making me feel confident that they were safely prepared. There was a choice of several desserts. I didn’t have any as my favourite, the tiramisu, had already sold out.

Taberna Aguilas

We stopped at this corner bar for a drink, en route to get some lunch. Upon asking if they had cerveza sin gluten (gluten free beer), we were pleasantly surprised that they did. As we sat with our drinks, we were even more surprised to see a special gluten free list on their tapas board…lunch sorted! We shared a selection of three tapas: Iberian ham, chicken curry (which was served on a bed of black rice) and grilled aubergines (which was actually grilled aubergines with minced pork in a tomato sauce).

grosso napoletano

The words ‘Senza Glutine’ plastered on the menu were very welcome! I had a gluten free pizza topped with prosciutto and funghi. This is a busy restaurant located at one end of the Alameda de Hércules. I was thankful that I had popped in at lunchtime to book a table for the evening. The pizza was very good and I would have visited again if I’d been staying for longer.

Nachos y Papas

This was a takeaway that I noticed next door to Grosso Napoletano on Alameda de Hércules and had gluten free nachos with various toppings. I didn’t eat here but thought it was worth highlighting it.

chok

A coeliac dream of a bakery! Focaccia, truffles, cakes and cookies. There was a seating area upstairs so we grabbed coffee and tea to go with our focaccia topped with a tomato sauce, cheese and peppers and a chocolate cake topped with pistachio cream.

Leon The Baker

Leon is not a restaurant but actually a concession inside the El Corte Ingles department store. I purchased a small crusty loaf of bread, a tiramisu and some biscuits. There were many varieties of bread and I picked one based on appearance…it turned out to be rather dense. The biscuits looked like viennese biscuits but were not very sweet.
