Discovering the Beauty of Authentic Sevillian Dishes
In Seville, true culinary treasures often come disguised behind rustic, imperfect appearances. The Ugly Food Tour celebrates these dishes—meals that may not win beauty contests but capture the heart of Andalusian tradition. Seville’s gastronomy tells a story of survival, creativity, and love for local ingredients. Here, taste always wins over looks. Whether it’s a plate of slow-cooked stews or a messy montadito, the flavors will stay with you long after your visit.

10 Must-Try “Ugly” Dishes You’ll Love
Among the stars of the Ugly Food Tour are the tender carrillada (braised pork cheeks), often dark and unphotogenic but meltingly delicious. You’ll also find espinacas con garbanzos (spinach with chickpeas), a humble dish with deep Moorish roots. Other surprises include rabo de toro (oxtail stew), bacalao con tomate (cod with tomato sauce), and pringá, a rich meat spread traditionally eaten inside bread. These dishes may look heavy or rustic, but every bite reveals centuries of Sevillian culinary wisdom.
Why Embrace the “Ugly” Food?
Choosing ugly food means choosing authenticity. It means connecting with the traditions that shaped Sevillian life beyond polished tourist menus. The dishes you’ll taste are born from family kitchens and generations of careful cooking. They offer robust flavors, hearty textures, and real stories that you simply can’t find in glossy restaurants.
