7 Best Food Markets in Seville

When I first moved to Seville, I quickly realised that while supermarkets are convenient for day-to-day shopping, it’s the food markets in Seville where you’ll find the freshest and best-quality produce. 

These markets stock what’s in season and sourced from local suppliers, so everything is top quality – like tomatoes that actually taste like tomatoes! 

Although some of Seville’s food markets focus on just selling produce, others have a great selection of places to sit and eat – and the locals know it!

Visit them around lunchtime, especially on Fridays they are buzzing with people grabbing a bite to eat, making it nearly impossible to get a table but the lively atmosphere gives you a great glimpse into local life. 

In this guide, I’ll walk you through some of the best markets in Seville for food whether you’re looking to shop for fresh ingredients or enjoy a delicious meal in the heart of the city.

Is There a Food Market in Seville?

Yes, Seville has plenty of food markets! 

You’ll find fresh produce, seafood, meats, and even ready-to-eat dishes at markets like Mercado de Triana, Mercado de la Feria, and Mercado Lonja del Barranco. 

Some of Seville’s food markets focus more on just selling produce, like Mercado Puerta De La Carne. This is great if you don’t want to eat out every day and are looking for somewhere to pick up fresh ingredients. 

Each market also has its own vibe, which I’ll go into in this article.

1. Mercado de Feria

If you’re looking for traditional markets in Seville, this is about as close as you’ll get. 

Mercado de Feria, the oldest market in Seville, has been a lively part of the city since it was established in 1719. 

Located on Calle Feria, the building has gone through changes over the years, including a restoration in 1982, but it still reflects the traditional feel of the neighbourhood. 

The market is known for its fresh produce, including seasonal fruits, vegetables, and meats from around the region. There are over 100 vendors here! It’s also home to a huge fish market bar where you can enjoy some of the freshest seafood in town.

Alongside the local produce, you’ll find food stalls serving up a wide range of traditional dishes. The are places with seating both indoors and outdoors. 

The market is popular, and does get busy – I’ve walked through on a Friday afternoon before and it’s been rammed!

If you’re after a caffeine hit, then Feria Market is also opposite one of my favourite cafes in Seville; Parcería Café serves up excellent barista-grade coffee.

• Location: Feria, s/n, 41003 Sevilla
• Opening Hours: Monday to Saturday from 8 am to midnight

2. Mercado de la Encarnación

This is one of the newest and most modern markets in Seville, located right under the famous Las Setas (the Mushrooms) monument.

Although the market you’ll see today is a fairly recent addition to the city, Plaza de la Encarnación is the ancient commercial centre of Seville. This was evident in the Roman ruins which were discovered during the construction of La Setas.  

You can visit the remains of the ancient ruins on the basement level.

The market has 70 stalls offering everything from fresh fruits and vegetables as well as meat, fish and cheeses. 

Although I don’t think this is the best place to sit and eat compared to other markets on our list, it’s a great place to pick up fresh ingredients or for snackable foods on the go. 

• Location: Plaza de la Encarnación, 41015 Sevilla
• Opening Hours: Monday to Saturday from 8 am to 3 pm

3. Mercado de Triana

This popular indoor market is located right on the banks of the Guadalquivir River in the heart of the Triana neighbourhood. 

What makes this food market in Triana unique is that it’s built on the remains of Castillo de San Jorge, an old Moorish fort that later became the headquarters of the Spanish Inquisition. You can still see parts of the original walls and even visit the Inquisition Museum underneath the market.

The market is packed with local vendors selling everything from cheese to fresh meat and Iberian ham, to fruits, vegetables, and spices. 

There’s also a fantastic cobbler called Zapatero del Altozano located here – I’ve used it several times to get shoes repaired, and highly recommend it if you’re in Seville and ever need to get your shoes fixed.

Not only is Triana Market a great place to pick up ingredients if you want to cook, but you can also grab a bite to eat at one of the many small bars and restaurants inside or join the cookery school here. 

• Location: C. San Jorge, Triana, 41010 Sevilla
• Opening Hours: Monday from 8 am to 3.30 pm, Tuesday to Saturday from 8 am to 3 pm

4. Mercado del Arenal

This food market is located in the Arenal neighbourhood and is often overlooked by visitors to the city. 

It’s housed in a beautiful bright and airy building with an arched glass ceiling and a shaded collonaded exterior walkway, in a space which was once a convent and then later used to be a prison!

The prison was finally closed in 1932, demolished in 1935, and in 1947, architect Juan Talavera y Heredia designed a new building on that site which included residential spaces, a market, and several units for municipal services.

While the market focuses on ready-made dishes, you can also find fresh produce on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Sundays, when local farmers set up their stalls under the collonaded walkway.

As a lifelong vegetarian, I do find it difficult to find a decent selection of veggie-friendly options in Seville. 

If you’re in a similar situation, then one of the standout spots I recommend here is Veganitessen. They have an excellent plant-based menu with loads of delicious meat and dairy-free dishes like burgers and burritos, as well as deserts – I’m slowly working my way through their menu!

• Location: Calle Pastor y Landero, 4, 41001 Sevilla, Spain
• Opening Hours: Tuesday to Saturday from 9 am to midnight, Sunday to Monday from 9 am to 7 pm

5. Mercado Lonja del Barranco

This trendy gourmet food market located along the Guadalquivir River has just reopened after a major renovation in summer 2024, and the interior is now even more impressive. 

The building itself, with its beautiful wrought-iron design, was originally a fish market, but it’s been transformed into a stylish spot for dining.

Unlike some of the more traditional markets in Seville, Lonja del Barranco focuses more on the restaurant experience at a gourmet level. 

Inside, you’ll find a selection of high-end vendors serving up modern takes on classic Andalusian dishes. There’s also a pretty decent pizzeria here – I love the smell coming from their pizza oven, the smell of freshly baked dough smells divine as you’re walking through. 

While it’s a bit more upscale, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it’s perfect if you’re in the mood for something special. Just be aware that the prices reflect the posh setting – so unlike the other markers, Mercado del Barranco isn’t really where locals come for a quick tapa and beer.

• Location: C. Arjona, s/n, 41001 Sevilla, Spain
• Opening Hours: Daily from noon to 1 am

6. Mercado de Los Remedios

Out of all the markets included on this list, Mercado de Los Remedios is pretty much only used by locals. 

It’s tucked away in the non-touristic Los Remedios neighbourhood. This market is perfect if you want to experience an authentic slice of Seville life with few tourists around. 

You’ll find a great selection of fresh produce, meats, and cheeses, making it an ideal spot for your grocery shopping. While it may not be as flashy or lively as other markets, it’s a great place to visit if you want a genuine local experience.

There are a few places to sit and eat inside this market, including a cafe – La Vida es Bella – who usually have a decent selection of fresh cakes.

The atmosphere is calm and down-to-earth, and prices here are generally slightly lower than more central markets. This is except for one week – during Seville’s annual Spring Fair – La Feria de Abril – when the entire Los Remedios area, including the market, is bustling with people in the area to celebrate. 

• Location: Calle Pedro Pérez Fernández, s/n, 41011 Sevilla, Spain
• Opening Hours: Monday to Saturday from 8 am to 4 pm

7. Mercado Puerta De La Carne

Another hidden gem in Seville that most tourists overlook is the Mercado Puerta de la Carne.

Located just east of the Old Town, inside the old San Bernado Train Station. The building has now been converted and repurposed – half of it is a gym, and the other half is a market.

It’s located in a fairly residential area, so this market feels a bit off the beaten path, which is why you won’t see many tourists here. It’s a locals-only type of place, with traditional produce stalls and no-frills coffee bars – don’t expect anything fancy here.

The market has plenty of stalls selling fresh, seasonal produce, and because it’s out of the main city centre, items are a little bit cheaper than some of the other markets on the list. 

If you’re staying on this side of the city, then I definitely recommend calling in here to pick up supplies.

• Location: Av. de Cádiz, 33, 41004 Sevilla, Spain
• Opening Hours: Monday to Saturday from 8 am to 3 pm
