The Bajo de Guía home of prawns and seafaring cooking since 1951, with the original tavern and dining rooms looking over Doñana. Closed on Sunday.

Casa Bigote is the house of Bajo de Guía, Sanlúcar's seafaring quarter at the mouth of the Guadalquivir, right opposite Doñana. In 1951 Fernando Hermoso, grandfather of the Bigote family, opened a small tavern here to serve manzanilla to sailors and charge them in his traditional way, "el zafo". In 1969 the second generation, Fernando and Paco, began serving tapas and seafaring stews, and in 1979 they opened the first dining room. Today it is run by the grandchildren, Fernando in the dining room and César in the kitchen.
Sanlúcar prawns, three ways
The Sanlúcar prawn is the house's emblem, so much so that it is in its logo: you order it boiled, grilled or in chiguato. The cooking is the seafaring cooking of Bajo de Guía, without complications and with the fish and shellfish of the river mouth as the stars. On the 2026 menu, among the soups, there is the mantis-shrimp one in season, the seafaring salmorejo and fish soup with rice. Among the starters, seaweed and shrimp fritters, seaweed tortillitas, fish and shellfish croquettes, squid roe with spring onion and aioli, scrambled eggs with cod, smoked bluefin tuna ham and several preparations of tuna loin: salt-baked, larded or in lard. Then come the fried and grilled fish and the stews. The published menu shows no prices; ask when you order, especially for the shellfish, which goes by the market.
The 1951 tavern and the dining rooms over Doñana
The house has two parts. The original tavern, with its bar, is still open for a manzanilla and some tapas standing up. Next to it, two large rooms with views of the Doñana reserve, across the river, for sitting down to eat with a tablecloth. If you want to see the river from your table, ask when you book.
Monday to Saturday
It is open Monday to Saturday, at midday from 13:00 to 16:00 and in the evening from 20:30 to 23:30. On Sunday it is closed, so do not count on it for a Sunday in Sanlúcar. The house itself asks you to book before going, on 956 362 696 or on its website.
Bajo de Guía and around
Bajo de Guía is the shore of Sanlúcar's restaurants and the landing stage for the boats to Doñana. Before eating you can do the walk along Bajo de Guía, and in the morning, a visit to Bodegas Barbadillo in the Barrio Alto. The meal here closes this site's Saturday in Sanlúcar.

Qué pedir: the Sanlúcar prawns and the fish from the river mouth, with a manzanilla in the tavern beforehand
