Emma Rusk & Rusk announce the opening of The Spanish Butcher in Edinburgh.
RUSK & RUSK, the independent Scottish restaurant group who operate The Butchershop and The Spanish Butcher in Glasgow, has announced its award-winning dining concept, The Spanish Butcher, is opening in Edinburgh.
The Spanish Butcher will arrive on North Castle Street in spring 2024, bringing its Spanish and Mediteranean-inspired flavours with a pinch of New York style.
The 90-cover restaurant will serve unique cuts of steak such as their dry-aged prime rib of beef or porterhouse cuts from the Rubia Gallega breed of cattle native to the green pastures of Galicia in north-western Spain. Other delights include grilled Presa Iberico, 30-month-aged Jamon Iberico de Bellota, whole roasted Shetland monkfish on the bone with chorizo and caperberries, grilled octopus, as well as the finest Scotch steak and whole roasted suckling pig to share. Plus of course, The Spanish Butcher’s now legendary appetisers (including those knockout Gordal olives, Padrón peppers and Manchego truffle fries!).
Speaking about the new opening, James and Louise Rusk, co-founders of RUSK & RUSK said:
“We are excited to be bringing The Spanish Butcher to Edinburgh and can’t wait to open our doors in spring 2024. We have always been champions of really great ingredients grown here in Scotland, and likewise, food is very much central to Spanish culture. The depth of flavour our customers will experience at North Castle Street when these two culinary landscapes combine will be extraordinary.“Restaurants, for us, are about evoking emotion and creating memories. People not only expect great food and service, but a relaxed, atmospheric space, and we hope our customers love the stylish neighbourhood vibe of The Spanish Butcher in Edinburgh. We look forward to sharing more of our plans over the coming months.”
Here is a look at what to expect.
