Spanish Butcher

Top choice in Glasgow


In a refined interior, moodily dark with industrial decor above retro wickerwork chairs, this is a fine venue for quality northern Spanish beef, with the best cuts designed for sharing. But there's plenty more to delight: whole baked fish, expertly deboned, are attractive and succulent, while the secreto and presa cuts redefine the pork genre.

There are some good Spanish wines by the glass and a range of tasty bar snacks if you just want a drink.
