Among Seville’s special colours is also its gastronomy, which the British-Australian hard rock band will now have the opportunity to discover and/or taste during the ‘Power up Tour 2024‘ that will take to the top of La Cartuja stadium tonight 29th May; as well as on Saturday 1st June.

With the aim of pairing their emblematic rock and roll rituals in the best possible way, TAPAS recommends AC/DC a series of modern and traditional restaurants in which to delve into the depths of Andalusian cuisine.

Lobo López

The tropical envite of the La Vida en Tapas group can boast of combining characteristics of an Andalusian patio with exotic touches. “It’s a place with an ethnic and Andalusian touch. The interiors of the restaurant are adorned by a garden that wants to highlight a natural environment”, they explain. On the table, Spanish tapas and international cuisine menus. Recommendations? The chicken salad with curry and mango and its now legendary croquettes, typical of Sevillian cuisine.

Where is it located? C. Rosario, 15, 41001.

Casa Ozama

In this elegant mansion, standing for more than 100 years, “little or nothing matters what happens outside”. Why? Because in this huge (2,000 square metres) modernist villa in the Porvenir neighbourhood, the food is very, very good. As examples, among other geniuses, are their brioche with chicharrón de Cádiz, lemon mayo and Parmesan, their dry rice with Iberian pork with secreto, pluma and grilled marrow and their beef tomahawk with parsley-garlic potatoes and Béarnaise sauce. Notice to instagramers: all the rooms breathe a lot of character and style, floral prints, luxurious fabrics, tercipelos, wallpapers, mirrors, furniture, retro lamps and details of tiles in shades of blue.

Where to find us? Av. de la Borbolla, 59, 41013.

Pan y Circo

One of the most creative and cool restaurants in Seville is Pan y Circo. A space that fuses art and gastronomy in a restaurant-gallery curated by Cristina Galeote. All this, in a setting where cultural vanguard and restoration come together with the purpose of creating a total work of art, in which both the creator and the spectator-user have an integral connection with the space, where in addition to tasting they can acquire the art and furniture that make up the scene.’

Maquiavelo

It opened its doors in the summer of 2020 and since then it has become one of the city’s must-visits. Its location (on the banks of the Guadalquivir River) and its drive to please everyone at all times (aperitifs, lunches, after-dinner meals, afternoons, dinners and show nights) have a lot to do with it. In addition, of course, to its modern gastronomic style: Spéciale Lile D’Oleron Nº2 oysters; josper-roasted scallops with Japanese curry and Iberian bacon; waffles, garlic-marinated picaña and basil mayonnaise… Flavours of the world spread over 7 sophisticated spaces with nature as the common thread (and be careful, because the garden has more than 1,000 plants of 90 different species).

Where is it located? Corner of Puente de los Remedios, P.º de las Delicias, 41012.
