Café Andaluz - Glasgow City Centre

An Iberian favourite from the group behind popular Glasgow Italians Amarone and Barolo Grill, the bustling West End branch of Café Andaluz instantly evokes images of Spain with its terracotta tiles, patterned ceramics and Andalusian artwork, while the authenticity of the food will have you dreaming of Barcelona. Good-value lunch and pre-theatre deals should see you through, especially as portions are fairly hefty and the results are remarkably consistent: try chorizo and black pudding in spicy tomato sauce, chicken croquetas or grilled goats’ cheese with Seville orange and chilli marmalade. Otherwise, share the spoils from one of their excellent paellas (the Valenciana is particularly popular with locals). Café Andaluz is a good base for a warm-up before hitting the town, but book if you want to secure a spot during the absurdly busy weekend sessions.
