  “We visited, four of us, on a busy Saturday night with a reservation at 7:15, probably peak time on the busiest day of the week. Nonetheless, service was excellent; all staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The food was first class, 2 of us had fish and 2 beef; all of us were delighted with our choice. Only 4 stars for atmosphere as it was a bit noisy, but we were there at the busiest time of the week.”

  “I was here on Friday night with 2 of my business colleagues. The atmosphere, food, drinks were great. Staff were very kind and friendly, excellent value for money and would definitely recommend the fillet steak.”

  “We had a great experience for my lunch birthday, been welcomed by the manager and walked to the table where I found a cute birthday card, he also explained the menu, answering all the questions we had, after we’ve been served by a new waiter, I guess he was being trained. The starters were delicious, followed by the Galician prime rib, probably one of the best beef we had, the Rioja Crianza paired perfectly. At the end we had the sticky toffee pudim which was divine. Super recommend, thank you!”

  “Had an amazing dinner on a Friday night. It was very busy so I’d make a booking. The octopus starter really stood out and the steak was cooked to perfection. It is on the expensive side. I’d definitely go back”

  “Visited at 6:30 on a Monday which was a great time as it wasn't too busy. By 7:30 it was much busier. The restaurant isn't huge but the tables feel nicely spaced out. The atmosphere inside is calm and cosy. We were originally served by one of the male waiters (sadly didn't get his name) who was originally from Andalusia (I hope I've got that right). He was absolutely fantastic. So friendly, polite and really informative. He explained the specials menu with passion and answered all our questions about the rest of the food and drinks menus with ease. His recommendation of the Porterhouse steak was spot on as my partner loves Sirloin and I prefer a Fillet. Porterhouse was the best of both worlds! The food, although pricey, was second to none. The meat just melted in your mouth. Seasoned to perfection. The sides and sauces were top notch and the desserts were phenomenal too! We ordered: Sherry glazed short rib (to share as a starter). Porterhouse steak (medium rare). Fries. Greens with chilli and garlic. Bone marrow with caramelised onions. Garlic Butter Sauce. Mojo Verde Sauce. Cheese board and burnt basque cheesecake.”

  “​We had an amazing meal at the spanish butcher in glasgow. For starters we got the scallops and the octopus, both were cooked perfectly and tasted incredible. Then we shared the tomahawk steak for mains which was honestly unbelievable, so flavourful and cooked spot on. ​Our server Gleb absolutely made the night though. He was so helpful and informative about the menu, gave us great advice on what to get and was just really top tier. Honestly made a great meal even better. Will definitely be coming back and asking for him again! Thank you”

  “I was looking forward to another visit to this great restaurant since 2023 and again it did not disappoint. The meat, service, ambiance and everything around is is nothing short but fantastic! For me this is the only place to be when being in Glasgow and in need for a proper dinner. Meat magic, flavor excellence and highly appreciated staff make you get an unforgettable night! We were bragging about this place since our first time we’ve visited. Now I have once again renewed energy to continue telling this story! I’ve been enjoying sherry glazed short ribs for starters and 800grams of presa iberico medium rare with manchego mac&cheese, iberico cheese fries, pepper sauce and blue cheese sauce. It was, once again, out of this world!”

  “The food is great, although quite pricey! The steak was absolutely fantastic the depth of flavour of the Glacian beef is to be commended. Really spectacular. Service was impeccable, especially at a very busy Saturday evening service. Perfect for date night or treat. Factor in the 12.5% tip added to bill!”

  “We had booked the Spanish Butcher to celebrate our son’s 21st birthday, reviews were good , recommendations were also very good so we were all looking forward to it . The moment we walked in the door the staff were lovely and the atmosphere was just what we were looking for , everything was set for a wonderful meal . I went for the scallop starter and my wife and son chose the grilled octopus, we all agreed that the starters were nothing special, I’ve had much nicer scallops at home and the octopus was pretty bland . For the mains I wanted to push the boat out and seeing as my son and I both like medium /rare we went for the Galician porterhouse ( £150 ) , and my wife went for the Galician fillet (43 ) , we also had some Sauted potatoes , bone marrow , cheese truffle fries and a couple of sauces , 1 peppercorn and 1 garlic butter. For a pudding I had the sticky toffee pudding and my son had the cheesecake and my wife had a Gin sorbet. The biggest disappointment by far was the steak , it was tough as old boots and almost impossible to cut through, my wife never enjoyed hers either. The peppercorn sauce was nice but the garlic butter we never even touched it was basically a pot of oil ! . I know I should have complained on the night but my son would have hated that and it would have made the night even worse ! My wife and I shared a bottle of wine (£52) and my son had 1 beer and the total came to £374.06 . I have absolutely no problem paying for a nice meal , the fact that they add an automatic service charge of 12.5% is disgusting (£41.56 ). To summarise, The starter was supposed to be king scallops , it may have been 1 scallop cut into quarters but it certainly wasn’t king scallops !! , the octopus was like rubber , the mains , the porterhouse steak was as tender as rubber and full of solid fat . The deserts , I’ve had better microwave sticky toffee pudding , my wife and son enjoyed there’s . I can’t recommend the Spannish Butcher’s food but I do highly rate the staff and the atmosphere. I will not be back”
