No, this isn't owned by the iconic 'little rascal.' But it is one of the best places to eat breakfast in Seville.

La Cacharreria de Sevilla
Coffee, cakes, and other pastries. What's not to love? Yet another awesome breakfast place in Seville is La Cacharreria de Sevilla, a traditional Spanish café along Calle Regina. But don't think that its central location, very accessible through
public transport, is the only reason why popular among locals. The place is also one of the very few vegan-friendly hotspots in the entire city. Most, if not all of what they serve here, from the sweetest desserts to the strongest coffee, are organic and natural. That alone is reason enough for patronage from a lot of residents of the city.

El Rinconcillo
Did you know that Andalusia, the region where Seville is, is considered the birthplace of tapas? The Spanish hors d'oeuvre was either first made or grew in popularity here in this Spanish region. And El Rinconcillo, considered the oldest tapas bar in the country, probably helped in that! Today, it's still considered one of the finest too! Here, you can enjoy as many tapas as you want, so much so that it can make up an entire meal and you'd still want more. It's no wonder the place is often crowded during lunchtime!
