SquareMeal Review of Café Andaluz

Bronze Award

A younger sibling of the two Café Andaluz outlets in Glasgow, this bustling city-centre tapas bar instantly evokes images of Spain with its terracotta tiles and Andalusian artwork, while the authenticity of the food will have you dreaming of Barcelona. Good-value special 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 George Street’s pubs and clubs, but book if you want to secure a spot during the absurdly busy weekend sessions.

About

Transporting you to the streets of Spain, Cafe Andaluz is the perfect place to enjoy authentic, delicious Spanish food in Edinburgh. Located on George Street, this Spanish restaurant is decorated in a modern, colourful fashion, with plenty of coloured glass, intricate tiles and ceramics on display. Alongside the a la carte menu, there are children's, vegan and vegetarian menus, so the whole family can dine at Cafe Andaluz.

Sharing plates are first up on the menu, and great for recreating that wonderful feeling you get in Spain, when you share tasty dishes and break bread with those you love. The mixed platter contains serrano ham, aged iberico chorizo, lomo, tostada de sobrasada, ensalada, andaluza and manchego cheese. Then it's right into the tapas, one of the most popular ways to dine in Spain. Vegetable-based options include a puy lentil salad with red peppers, carrot, red onion, mint and cucumber with a honey and mustard vinaigrette, a bowl of baked aubergines with a pomegranate dressing and grilled asparagus with manchego cheese, lemon hollandaise and crushed black pepper.

Fish, shellfish and meat options include fresh Shetland mussels cooked in white wine with shallots, garlic and cream, grilled pork skewers in adobo spiced with garlic, rosemary and coriander, and king prawns with chorizo and rice. Paellas are also made for sharing, with one being suitable for two people. There are three options for you to choose from, including a meat blend with chicken and pork, a mixed paella with chicken, haddock, calamari, king prawns and Shetland mussels, and a seafood variety. Whether ordering tapas or paella, you can enhance your meal with bread, olives, French fries and salads. It makes a brilliant pit stop for a variety of locations, offering a taste of southern Spain when you need it most.
