Busy and bustling on Christmas Eve. Great service from bar and restaurant. The food and cocktails were Lovely. Wine was good but the selection seems to have been paired down from previous visit to focus on higher end bottles.

Fabulous food and terrific service. Every course was delicious from starters through to desert. The garlic prawns were outstanding and the streaks and fish mains cooked to perfection. The level of service matched the food. First visit to the Edinburgh branch of The Spanish Butcher but won’t be the last.

I was looking for a place to show my family the magic of a Sunday roast and this place was perfect! The four of us had a sharing roast and sharing pie along with some drinks. The dessert that came with the roast was so tasty and warm. The ambiance was the perfect cozy hideaway from the cold and windy weather outside. I would recommend to anyone!
