The Spanish Butcher is a contemporary steakhouse at 58A North Castle Street in Edinburgh. It combines Spanish and Mediterranean flavours with a polished New York loft style interior, creating a setting suited to both an intimate dinner and a larger celebration. The restaurant is the Edinburgh counterpart to the original Glasgow venue.
Galician beef sits at the heart of the menu, chosen for its depth of flavour and tenderness. Different cuts allow diners to shape the meal around their preferred style of steak, while Jamón Ibérico brings one of Spain’s most recognisable cured meats to the table. Seasonal dishes keep the kitchen connected to ingredients beyond the grill.
Fresh Scottish seafood provides a strong local counterpoint to the Spanish meat selection. À la carte, set lunch, Sunday roast and banquet formats give diners several ways to experience the restaurant, with desserts and a children’s menu also available. Guests with allergies should consult the current information and speak with staff before ordering.
Wine is an important partner to both steak and seafood, supported by cocktails and a broader drinks list. Service is structured around reservations, and larger parties are asked to arrange their visit directly with the restaurant. The Spanish Butcher brings together carefully sourced produce, bold Iberian character and a confident special occasion atmosphere in central Edinburgh.
