Seville-only, Spain-only, tour-operator and listing sites (102 sites, 207 pages) are not counted. Counts are publishers, not pages, and the English and Spanish counts are shown apart. The Michelin Guide and Guía Repsol awards are printed beside the places they name. How the guides are made

Michelin and the other awards

Michelin’s Seville list has two One-Star restaurants, three Bib Gourmand and 11 Selected, and no restaurant with two or three stars (Michelin Guide). Ochando in Los Rosales, which won a star in November 2025, is in Seville province. The Guía Repsol’s 2026 list gives two Soles to Abantal and one Sol to Cañabota, Lalola, Señor Cangrejo, Leartá, Tribeca, Jaylu, Sobretablas and Kinu, a new Japanese counter (ABC Sevilla).

The places named by the most sources

The count is the number of publishers that name the place across all the lists, with the split by language.

The Spanish lists name Sobretablas, Lalola, Señor Cangrejo, Leartá and Casa Ricardo far more often than the English ones do. The English lists lean towards the rooftops and the food halls.
