Best Restaurants Open Monday in Seville 2026

Here is the useful thing to know about a Seville Monday: the Michelin room is shut. Abantal, the city's one starred kitchen, closes Saturday through Monday, and the modern tasting-menu rooms keep the same long weekend rest. What never closes is the older Seville, the Andalusian dining rooms and tapas counters that have run seven days for generations, one of them since 1670. Six rooms confirm Monday hours below, ranked by what each is for, from the grand lunch near the cathedral to the value counters in Triana and Santa Cruz, in euros.

Why a Monday list matters in Seville

Seville holds only a small handful of high-end kitchens, and the ones that chase Michelin keep a strict early-week rest. Abantal, the city's only starred room, stays dark from Saturday to Monday, and the city's modern tapas bars often add Monday to their closing day. A visitor who lands on a Monday and expects to book a tasting menu will be turned away. That single fact is the most useful thing to plan around at the start of a Seville week.

The rooms that stay open are the institutions: the white-tablecloth Andalusian houses near the cathedral, the tiled tapas counters in Triana and Santa Cruz, and the centuries-old bars that never needed a star. The order below leads with the grand Monday lunch in the centre, then runs through the modern grill and the value counters. A timing note: Seville eats late, Monday lunch peaks at two and dinner rarely starts before nine. Every hour below was checked against each restaurant's published schedule in June 2026. For the wider week, start with the Seville dining guide.

The Monday list

1

Casa Robles

Andalusian · Centro, Seville · €40–70 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 12:30–00:00

Casa Robles has cooked high Andalusian food on Calle Alvarez Quintero, steps from the cathedral, since 1954, and it is the grandest sit-down room in the centre that stays open on a Monday. The white-tablecloth dining room upstairs runs the full menu: the pescaito frito, the slow-cooked rabo de toro, a meal around €40 to €70 a head. Monday is continuous service from half past twelve to midnight, so a late lunch is easy. Book the upstairs room rather than the street-level tapas bar for the proper Monday lunch.

2

Mamarracha

Modern tapas & grill · Centro, Seville · €30–50 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 13:30–00:00

Mamarracha is the modern counterpoint to the old tabernas, a wood-grill tapas room on Calle Hernando Colon a minute from the cathedral. The kitchen leans on the brasa: grilled Iberico, charred vegetables, a tuna tartare, with a meal around €30 to €50 a head. It opens Monday from half past one in the afternoon straight through to midnight, one of the more design-led rooms in the city that does not take Monday off. Book ahead for the upstairs tables; the ground-floor counter takes walk-ins for a quick graze.

3

Taberna Coloniales

Traditional tapas · Plaza Cristo de Burgos, Seville · €15–30 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 12:30–00:30

Taberna Coloniales on Plaza Cristo de Burgos is the tapas room Sevillanos send visitors to, a busy traditional bar where the plates are generous and the bill stays small. The solomillo al whisky, the chicken in almond sauce and the montaditos are the orders, with a full graze about €15 to €30 a head. It opens Monday from half past twelve to half past midnight, continuous, so a late Monday lunch or an early dinner both work. It does not take bookings, so arrive before two for lunch or before half past eight for dinner to beat the queue.

4

Las Golondrinas

Triana tapas · Triana, Seville · €15–30 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 12:00–16:00 & 20:00–00:00

Las Golondrinas is the Triana institution, a tiled two-floor tapas bar off Calle Antillano Campos where the waiters call the orders up the stairs. The punta de solomillo, the grilled mushrooms and the chocos are the fixtures, each a couple of euros, a full graze about €15 to €30 a head. It opens Monday for both services, noon to four and again from eight to midnight, the classic Andalusian split day. It is the pick for a Monday spent on the Triana side of the river, and it takes no bookings, so stand at the bar and order in rounds.

5

Bodega Santa Cruz

Classic tapas · Santa Cruz, Seville · €12–25 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 08:00–00:00

Bodega Santa Cruz, known to everyone as Las Columnas, is the heaving tapas bar in the old Jewish quarter behind the cathedral, chalk tabs on the bar and montaditos flying out of the kitchen. The pringa, the espinacas con garbanzos and the fried fish are the orders, a graze landing about €12 to €25 a head, among the best value in the centre. It opens Monday from eight in the morning to midnight, sixteen hours straight, so it covers breakfast, a midday graze and a late stand-up dinner. No bookings, ever; squeeze in at the bar and shout your order.

6

El Rinconcillo

Tapas, since 1670 · Centro, Seville · €25–45 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 13:00–01:30

El Rinconcillo on Calle Gerona has poured wine since 1670, which makes it the oldest tapas bar in Spain and a required Seville stop on any day of the week. The barman still chalks the tab straight onto the wooden counter, the espinacas con garbanzos and the jamon the order, a graze about €25 to €45 a head. It opens Monday from one in the afternoon to half past one in the morning, the longest Monday hours on this list. It takes no bookings at the bar, so arrive before two for lunch or after five for the evening, and stand at the counter for the full effect.

How to book a Monday table in Seville

Seville keeps a relaxed Monday, and most of its old-quarter institutions stay open while the starred room rests. Casa Robles takes bookings and rewards a day's notice for its upstairs dining room, the prime Monday lunch in the centre. Mamarracha is the one to reserve for a Monday dinner, since its upstairs tables fill fast. The tapas counters, Taberna Coloniales, Las Golondrinas, Bodega Santa Cruz and El Rinconcillo, take no bookings at all: arrive before two for lunch or before half past eight for dinner to find space. A timing note worth repeating: Seville eats late, lunch peaks at two and dinner rarely starts before nine, even on a Monday. For a solo Monday, the counters at El Rinconcillo and Bodega Santa Cruz are the easiest seats and a fine solo-dining move. Entertaining a client at the start of the week? Casa Robles is the room to impress a client in Seville; for a family-style group, Taberna Coloniales seats a crowd for a Seville team dinner.

Frequently asked questions

Are any Michelin restaurants open on Monday in Seville?

No, none of them. Abantal, Seville's Michelin-starred Andalusian room, closes Saturday through Monday, and the city's other tasting rooms keep the same early-week shutdown. A diner who wants a serious Monday meal in Seville should book an institution instead: Casa Robles near the cathedral for the grand lunch, or the centuries-old tapas counters at El Rinconcillo and Bodega Santa Cruz. See the wider Seville dining guide for the rest of the week.

Is Casa Robles open on Monday in Seville?

Yes. Casa Robles opens Monday on Calle Alvarez Quintero, a few steps from the cathedral, with continuous service from half past twelve to midnight. The grand upstairs dining room is the Monday table, with high Andalusian cooking and a meal around €40 to €70 a head. It is the best sit-down room in the centre that does not take Monday off. Book the upstairs room rather than the ground-floor tapas bar for the full lunch.

What is the best-value restaurant open Monday in Seville?

Bodega Santa Cruz, known as Las Columnas, behind the cathedral in the Santa Cruz quarter. Its montaditos and raciones land a full graze about €12 to €25 a head, the cheapest serious eating in the centre, and it opens Monday from eight in the morning to midnight. It takes no bookings, so squeeze in at the bar and chalk up a tab. El Rinconcillo on Calle Gerona, open since 1670, is the close runner-up for a Monday graze.

What time do restaurants open for Monday lunch in Seville?

Late. Seville eats on Andalusian time, even on a Monday: lunch is the bigger meal and peaks around two in the afternoon, and dinner service rarely starts before nine. Casa Robles, Taberna Coloniales and El Rinconcillo all run continuous service through the afternoon, so a late lunch that drifts past four is easy. For dinner, arrive from half past eight and expect the room to fill by ten.

Do I need to book a Monday table in Seville?

Only for the sit-down rooms. Casa Robles and Mamarracha take Monday bookings and reward a day's notice, especially for dinner. The tapas institutions, Taberna Coloniales, Las Golondrinas, Bodega Santa Cruz and El Rinconcillo, take no reservations at the bar, so timing is your tool: arrive before two for lunch or before half past eight for dinner to beat the queue. The counters also handle a solo diner better than the dining rooms do.
