Casa Curro Montoya

Sevilla Province


This friendly, family-run eatery near the Convento de Santa Clara occupies a narrow, high-ceilinged hall full of memorabilia, topped by a formal dining room. A low-key jazz soundtrack sets the mood for the likes of smoked-tuna tapas and raciones of morcilla (black pudding) with rice and raisins.
