About Alboréa

Alboréa sits on Calle San Jacinto, right in the thick of Triana. It’s got a solid 4.4-star rating from over 3600 reviews, so it’s clearly doing something right. The main thing people rave about is the ensaladilla rusa, which seems to be a house specialty and comes highly recommended, often with a fried egg on top. Several reviewers specifically mentioned the creamy texture and perfect seasoning. The staff gets a lot of love too. Abdul and Ignacio are name-checked in reviews for exceptional service and helpful recommendations. Portions are generous, so you get your money's worth. A couple of reviewers mentioned wanting to return to try the huevos rotos. It’s the kind of place where you can wander in off the street while exploring Triana and have a genuinely good experience. While hours are not available, it is clearly a popular spot.
