Tinto Tapas Bar Battlefield is a Spanish restaurant at 138 Battlefield Road in Glasgow. Serving traditional tapas since 2006, it provides a sociable setting where diners can order several small dishes for the table or use the set menus to build a complete meal.
Cold meats, Spanish cheeses, olives and tomato topped bread sit alongside familiar hot plates such as patatas bravas, croquettes and chorizo cooked with wine. Chicken skewers, meatballs and pork dishes bring plenty of choice from the grill and pan, with portions designed for mixing and sharing.
Seafood ranges from garlic and chilli king prawns to fried calamari, mussels and salt cod. Paella can be ordered for two or more with seafood, chicken and chorizo, seasonal vegetables or a mixed Valencian combination, while chickpea stew, mushrooms and aubergine offer substantial vegetarian choices.
Churros, crema catalana and Spanish almond tart give the meal a traditional sweet finish. The restaurant also serves breakfast, drinks and children’s choices, and offers takeaway and outside catering for diners who want the same flavours beyond a regular table booking.
Address: 138 Battlefield Road, Glasgow G42 9JT, Scotland
