We visited the Spanish Butcher for a birthday meal. It was a 215pm booking and the restaurant was pretty empty. The staff were ok, but setting the standards low but when we got seated the chap was keen to walk away and we just about got drinks from him. He did come back with the drinks pretty quick but rushed off right away. Starters we got prawns and then scallops. Both dishes were nice. For mains we got the fish and I got gelecian fillet Med rare. The fish was nice and best part no bones. The steak was pretty decent for the price. It was seared very very nice. As it was my birthday meal the restaurant did give a card. Nice touch. If your reading this far your see why I dropped 2 stars on food. For the price the prawns was a good size but the scallops were really small. I should drop 2 stars we had a stone in the lentils and typically I ended up crunching down and chipped a filling. I did show the staff they said sorry and gave us a free dessert. Not 2 but one. Drinks was a reason I added a food star as they were really reasonable in price. Not a typical rip off with restaurants these days I’m not sure I would return. But would say this place is worth a shot

Arguably the best steakhouse in glasgow alongside Tiffany's! Came here a couple of years ago & absolutely loved it. Miles ahead of Miller & carter. So many different steak options, mines was marbled and cooked to perfection. Would highly reccomend to anybody thats looking for a high end steak!

Had such a great night at The Spanish Butcher, on Monday! The tomahawk steak was cooked to absolute perfection — so tender and full of flavour. The mac and cheese was honestly next level, could’ve eaten a whole bowl of it on its own! 😂 Huge shoutout to Louisa who looked after us — her service was spot on from start to finish, super friendly and made us feel really welcome. Can’t wait to go back already!

Delicious lunch menu, service had been great. Every dishes were so good. I went again the the Edinburgh branch as this Glasgow one was so good, but left disappointed. Definitely recommend this restaurant and the Glasgow branch!

We had such a wonderful time here. We ordered the share platter for two to start and everything was great but the stars of the show were the most incredible olives. Then we had Galician steak and the hake. The food was truly outstanding, great service and a bustling atmosphere.
