Nestled in the heart of Bruntsfield, Piggs Wine & Tapas Bar is a lively, family-run spot that brings the warmth and flavour of Spain to Edinburgh. Founded by brothers Daniel and Victor Campos - sons of renowned restaurateur Ignacio Campos - Piggs is the second outpost of their growing culinary venture, following the success of their original Royal Mile location.
The menu is a celebration of traditional Spanish tapas with a Scottish twist. Diners can expect comforting favourites like pollo al ajillo, chorizo a la sidra and ham croquetas, alongside seasonal specials such as steak with sweet sauce and asparagus with egg and truffle oil. Sharing platters are a highlight, featuring generous selections of jamón ibérico, Manchego, salchichón and IJ Mellis cheeses, often paired with membrillo, pickles and nuts. From Monday to Friday, Piggs also serves a mega sandwich line-up filled with the likes of rump steak, Serrano ham, Manchego cheese, olive oil and tomato, so don't miss those.
The drinks list leans heavily into Spanish wines and sangrias, with a few playful cocktails that nod to local spirits.
Inside, Piggs is compact but cleverly designed. Pale wood, exposed brick and snug window booths create a warm, rustic atmosphere, while upbeat Spanish music adds to the vibrant energy. The space may be narrow, but it’s full of character - think La Rambla meets Bruntsfield charm.
Service is a standout feature, with staff praised for their friendliness and deep knowledge of the menu. The team, including chefs like Joe who’s credited with standout dishes, are passionate about delivering a relaxed yet memorable dining experience.
Located at 171 Bruntsfield Place, Piggs is a neighbourhood favourite for everything from casual catch-ups to celebratory feasts. With its authentic flavours, welcoming vibe and thoughtful touches, it’s a must-visit for anyone seeking a taste of Spain in the Scottish capital.
