Café Andaluz, Edinburgh

Bringing a taste of southern Spain to the Scottish capital, Café Andaluz has become one of Edinburgh’s best-known Spanish restaurant groups. Inspired by the tapas bars and restaurants of Andalucía, the chain specialises in authentic Spanish cuisine served in a relaxed, sociable atmosphere where sharing plates with family and friends is very much part of the experience.

The menu celebrates the diversity of Spanish cooking, featuring traditional tapas such as patatas bravas, albóndigas, gambas al ajillo, croquetas, calamari and jamón ibérico, alongside larger dishes including paella, grilled meats and fresh seafood.

Plus, Spanish wines, sherries, sangria, and cocktails, creating a dining experience that reflects the warmth and hospitality of Spain’s renowned food culture.

Café Andaluz first opened in Glasgow in 2002 before expanding across Scotland. Today, the company operates three restaurants in Edinburgh, each with its own character while maintaining the same emphasis on quality ingredients, attentive service and authentic flavours. Whether you’re looking for a leisurely lunch, a pre-theatre meal, or an evening of tapas shared with friends, Café Andaluz has become a familiar name on Edinburgh’s dining scene.

Its Edinburgh restaurants are conveniently located in some of the city’s busiest visitor and shopping districts, making them popular with both locals and tourists. The combination of stylish interiors, generous portions and an extensive selection of Spanish wines has earned the restaurants a loyal following and consistently positive reviews.

Visitors can enjoy everything from a quick selection of tapas and a glass of Rioja to a full multi-course Spanish feast, making Café Andaluz a versatile choice for couples, families and larger groups. Regular seasonal specials and set menus ensure there is usually something new to discover, while vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options help cater for a wide range of diners.
