La
Habanita
(Alfalfa - c/Golfo)
A large selection of vegetarian dishes, including my favorite frijoles
con arroz. Fried yucca, ropa vieja (contains meat) and other
Cuban plates as well as Cuban drinks are worth a try. They are one of
the few places to also offer vegan dishes. All vegetarian and vegan dishes
are clearly marked which makes it easy to choose from. Desserts are great,
too. While located just off the often rowdy street of Sopa de Ganso, they
are tucked away in a little plaza which makes it a quiet little spot.
Jalea
Real - Bar Vegetariano
(Santa Catalina - c/Santa Angela de la Cruz, 34)
Just
down the street from the convent is a great vegetarian bar - and it's
vegetarian only! Look for the sky blue front with ceramic tiles featuring
herbs and vegetables. A number of cold tapas and salads are available
as tapas. More food available in platos or the menu del dia.
I've only been once but we had a great meal. Space at the bar or
plenty of seating in the dining room. A number of homemade pastries are
available for dessert. Economically priced.
La
Mandrágora
(Arenal - c/Albuera, 11)
I've yet to eat here so I can't offer much. Just that they advertise offering
cooking with organic and natural ingredients. Have heard from others that
it's a great place to go for original vegetarian cooking.
La
Huerta
(Santa Catalina - Plaza de los Terceros)
Just over a year old and just down the street from my apartment. Lots
of outdoor seating and very friendly owners. They offer some nice alternatives
to the normal tapas you find here. The tabla de patatas comes
with three amazing sauces. They do serve meat, but have a lot of vegetarian
friendly dishes. Tapa's range from 1,75-2,50€. Some of my favorites:
- tabla de patatas
con 3 salsas (roast potatoes with 3 dipping sauces)
- tabla de verduras
(grilled vegetable plate)
- quiche de puerros
(leak quiche)
- espinacas con
garbanzos (stewed spinach with garbanzos)
El
Refugio
(Alfalfa - c/Herbolarios)
All good things come to an end, and while we hoped they were just renovating
the place it looks like it has changed ownership. Gone are the carañacas
and with it their secret recipe and the collection of keychains hanging
on the wall (I never got to add mine!). The new place is decent and they
offer some vegetarian dishes along with grilled meats. They also serve
up quesadillas the way you may think of them back home - not in a cazuela
but between two pieces of flour tortilla. Try the parillada for a mixed
grill of two types of sausage, two kinds of beef and chicken.
Ajo
Blanco
(Santa Catalina - c/Alhóndiga 19)
A little alternative in atmosphere, with papered walls including slogans
and graffiti from anyone who passes through. Jazz and Feria posters hang
here as well. Music varies from rock to light jazz. Small number of tables
and some space at the bar to eat. Some dishes have an interesting Mexican
twist to them, all offered with a great hot sauce on the side - you'll
be warned la salsa pica! Prices range from 1.80-4€ per
tapa. Some vegetarian friendly dishes include
- tejano
- beans only on request (corn tortilla with beans and cheese)
- tarta vegetal
con queso azul
(vegetable "cake" with blue cheese)
- ensalada de
cous cous (cous cous salad)
Döner
Kebab
(Torneo - c/Torneo, 3)
(Torneo - c/Avicena, 5, near Puente de la Barqueta)
Another fast-food type joint, but this one's from Egypt. They offer a
ton of great vegetarian stuff as well. Falafel, tabouli, humus (however
you spell it), rice, pizzas and more. Desserts include baklava and other
goodies. It's just like the places back home and thank whoever that they're
in Sevilla!
Cafe
Bar Jerusalem
(Triana - c/Salado)
Offering shoarmas in their many forms, this is a place for middle-eastern
and kosher food. They offer meat in some dishes, but have plenty of vegetarian
food to choose from as well. Plus you can eat kosher!
Oromana
(Puerta de La Carne/Barrio Santa Cruz - c/P° Catalina de Ribera, 4)
(Torneo - c/Avicena, 5, near Puente de la Barqueta)
Vegetarian and ecological (ie: organic) so it doesn't get much better
than this. On the edge of Barrio Santa Cruz they're serving up plenty
of vegetarian dishes, some with a little international touch. Meat is
served as well. Whole grain bread, herbal tea and a whole host of other
goodies, too. The store they have inside also offers organic vegetables,
eggs, cheeses and yogurt.
La
Ilustre Victima
(Alameda - c/ Doctor Letamnedi, 31)
Specializing in internaional and vegetarian dishes they have a large menu.
Middle-eastern spcialties include cous cous and shoarmas. Some outdoor
seating in the warmer months but plenty of seating inside as well. A decent
bar de copas at night, too.
La
Rucola
(Triana - c/Torrijos, 1A)
A lot of international dishes and plenty of vegetarian friendly food to
be sampled as well. Original salads, sushi, morrocan dishes and foods
from other countries make it a favorite in Triana for those seakking alternative
cuisine.
