Food Occasions Dinner, Lunch, Sunday roast People Birthdays, Celebrations, Dates About The Spanish Butcher Spain and New York aren’t exactly two locations that you would often see lumped together, but that is exactly what has happened at this popular Glasgow haunt, where Spanish food is married to a healthy dose of New York style. The Spanish Butcher is set within a large industrial-style space that resembles a New York loft. The contemporary interiors feature all of the usual industrial-chic traits, including columns, exposed brick work and hanging pendant lights, while a few house plants dotted around the space and banquette seating wrapped in a deep red leather hue add some warmth. There is also a standalone bar complete with a few stools should you fancy some pre- or post-prandial drinks, while large floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light during the daytime.
The Christmas lights seem to be shining brighter this year, despite all the gloom. I’m noticing more trees in people’s windows, as if the decorations are intended as a sign of encouragement, like when kids were putting up rainbows to be seen from the street, back in the turbulent days of the first lockdown. In these festive homes, there will be empty chairs at dinner tables tomorrow. We get on with things as best we can, but family and friends will feel a sense of separation. Then there’s the Glasgow diaspora, the city’s weans around the world, unable to return and renew their relationship with where they are from.
