Edinburgh, October, 2023
Famed for its distinctive Galicia meets Brooklyn proposition – incomparably unique in Scotland – The Spanish Butcher will arrive on North Castle Street in spring 2024; an exceptional new addition to the capital’s dining scene.
RUSK & RUSK has been widely credited in redefining the steak house concept in Scotland for almost fifteen years across its restaurants with provenance-oozing produce, on-point service, and lively, seductive ambiences. Now, with the arrival of The Spanish Butcher in Edinburgh, east will meet west for RUSK & RUSK as the group expands into the city with the 90-cover restaurant; delighting the legions of fans who currently travel from far and wide to The Spanish Butcher in Glasgow city centre.
Promising vibrant Spanish and Mediterranean-inspired flavours across an à la carte menu, married with the very best homegrown produce from Scotland’s larder, the offering of The Spanish Butcher on North Castle Street will be synonymous with RUSK & RUSK’s commitment and respect to outstanding quality.
Diners can expect the most delicious and unique cuts of steak and the freshest seafood ingredients on the menu. Unique cuts include their famous 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 (yes, including those knockout Gordal olives, Padrón peppers and Manchego truffle fries!).
Complementing the exceptional levels of taste to be found across The Spanish Butcher menu, will be seriously stylish décor – deserving of the brand’s most stylish accolades. Inspired by New York’s neighbourhood dining scene and the lustworthy loft-style vibes of the city, The Spanish Butcher in Edinburgh will be quintessentially modern, hip and hospitable, and present a downright delicious offering; the appeal of which has attracted a tranche of A-list fans to RUSK & RUSK’s business over the years including Will Ferrell, Toby McGuire, Eddy Izzard, Chris Pine, Gerard Butler, Sam Heughan, Paolo Nutini and countless others.
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.”
