Tucked away on North Castle Street in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town, The Spanish Butcher brings a bold fusion of Spanish and Mediterranean flavours to one of the city’s most elegant neighbourhoods.
Just a short stroll from Princes Street and George Street, this stylish restaurant is perfectly placed for everything from leisurely lunches to lively evening dinners. Inside, the vibe is distinctly modern with a nod to New York loft chic - think exposed brick, moody lighting, and sleek furnishings that set the scene for a sophisticated yet relaxed dining experience.
The menu is a celebration of premium ingredients, with a particular focus on Galician and Scotch beef, expertly dry-aged and grilled to perfection. Signature dishes include the Rubia Gallega ribeye, Jamón ibérico carved to order, and fresh seafood like grilled octopus and salt cod croquetas. Vegetarians and pescatarians will find plenty to enjoy too, with vibrant seasonal salads, rich risottos, and delicately prepared fish dishes. The drinks list is equally impressive, featuring Spanish wines, classic cocktails, and a curated selection of sherries and vermouths to complement the bold flavours of the food.
And when it comes to drinks, the curated wine list and signature cocktails—like the blood orange negroni or the Rioja spritz—are every bit as bold and indulgent as the food. Open daily from noon, The Spanish Butcher is ideal for everything from business lunches to romantic dinners. Whether you’re popping in for a set lunch or indulging in a full à la carte experience, the service is warm, knowledgeable, and effortlessly polished.
With its central location, refined menu, and stylish atmosphere, The Spanish Butcher Edinburgh offers a slice of Iberian indulgence right in the Scottish capital.
