Cafe Andaluz West End in Glasgow City

It is a fantastic place for Spanish and Portuguese people to have a little taste of home, so if you love our food, you'll love Cafe Andaluz for sure.

Portion sizes seem to be getting smaller and prices are going up. I always order the calamari and it’s normally a large portion of full calamari rings, when I visited last week the calamari was cut in half into strips (possibly to give the appearance of a bigger portion) and wasn’t as nice as usual. The portion size of the fried fish (used to be cod) which is now haddock is tiny as well, not worth £9.45! Really disappointing as we have been coming to Cafe Andaluz for 10+ years. Our bill was £170 for 4 people and I didn’t feel the quality and portion size reflected this price. Service also wasn’t as good as it is has been before, difficult to order more drinks etc. waiters passing plates over to you very clumsily.

Nice change Taste’s quite authentic

The service is super good, the quality of the food doesn't seem very good to me compared to Spain, expensive food and not very good quality.

Fantastic place but I do not agree with a service charge being added to the bill and it is slightly over priced.

I loved this place. Nice ambiance , friendly staff, great food. I will be back soon

First time in for breakfast and did not dissapoint,as always great food,good portions and value for money,excellent helpfull staff.

Lovely restaurant, great food, service excellent

What a great place for a meal. Spanish tapas dishes allow you to sample different things and all of our dishes were amazing. Server's were friendly and attentive. I would add that if you have mobility problems, the restaurant is in the basement and there is quite a steep winding staircase down.

Cracking place. The food was beautiful and in arrived very quick. The staff were very helpful and polite. I highly recommend this place. Every time I go its a great experience. I will keep returning. The price is quite good too.

5 for lunch and 5* for lunch. Great choice and service. A real "hidden gem" in Cresswell Lane. Not enough room here to say how good the food was! I will definitely be coming back here, and anyone reading this review should try it.

Always a great night with fabulous food. Would highly recommend. The West End restaurant is amazing.

Went for a meal with 2 friends and had absolutely delish food!! Service was excellent without being intrusive! Would well recommend!!

We went for Valentine's Day dinner and this is our first time here. For a 3 course meal, we had bread and olives which was really good with a variety of bread offered. We ordered 5 tapas - out of which the prawns were the best. The baked aubergine and lamb were good too. The food was delicious with sangria. Finally, we had a brownie for dessert, so yummy but the sorbet was so bad that we couldn't have more than a bite.

Fantastic little place - the food was amazing, it was very cosy and the staff were fab.

AMAZING place, very romantic but also can come here with friends casually. Cosy atmosphere and the demographic cohort of the customers are the type of people you want in a restaurant like this. Amazing authentic Spanish food, quick service and really cheap. The food is fantastic and it feels as if you are in Spain when you are there. I love the decorations in this place. The sangria is AMAZING AS WELL❗️10/10

Went here with a friend a wee while ago and it was so good! I’ve been to Cafe Andaluz in Edinburgh and this one is way better. The staff were amazing and attentive and the food was delicious. The decorations were really nice and it was nice and quiet when we went. I highly recommend going here if you’re looking for good Spanish food and tapas!!

This is a fabulous group of tapas restaurants two in Edinburgh, two in Glasgow. This was a pre theatre meal so early hence the atmosphere score. The food is great, good wine too. Excellent selection of tapas and wine and the service was first class. Pre theatre is a choice of three tapas per person. There is an a la varte selection too.

Great food and good atmosphere. Just wish the non alcoholic beer choice was better as it is quite poor

Great food, fantastic service.....

It is the first time I have ordered from a Spanish place different from the one I usually order to give other restaurants the opportunity, but I am afraid it will be the last. The worst croquettes I have ever eaten in my entire life, not even frozen croquettes are as tasteless and hard as these! Overheated, tasteless - I couldn't tell if they were chicken, ham or cooked - and with a thick layer of industrial batter, disgusting! Only four “fuck” (because you can't call them croquettes) and for almost £7! The other dish I ordered from the delivery menu (where there are hardly any dishes, only cheap and tacky things to steal from you) was also tiny. Clearly made without any art or affection and exclusively to fill one's pocket. I will recommend you to all my acquaintances, friends and neighbors, but so that they never order or go. An absolute shame.

Felt rushed to leave the table which in my opinion is a bit rude.

Lovely food and great place to eat. Thoroughly enjoy each time we eat there!

First visit. Lovely atmosphere, food exceptional. Another visit, lovely place to visit, great menu selection, even time for a dessert this time. Would recommend anyone to give it a try. Not as expensive as you would have thought for Glasgow West End.

Food amazing, never disappointed here.

We had lunch here and the food was absolutely fantastic. Every dish was delicious, all served very well. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We will be back!

I was skeptical at first but I ordered the Pollo Rebozado con Miel as well as the Espárragos a la Parrilla, and they were both fantastic. I tried the Croquetas de Jamón y Queso as well, and they were pretty good too. We ordered the Crema Catalana and it was great, like a mix between a Flan and a Creme Brulee. The bathrooms were cramped though, with a door behind a door for some reason.

Everything was great! Whatever you order you’ll know will be good, we did a bit of everything: Patatas Bravas, Croquetas de Jamón y Queso, different chicken and lamb options, 10/10 ⭐️ The service was also great, the dishes came out quickly one after the other.

Be careful when they ask if you need some bread. The bread came with olive and olive oil but they charged them separately (around £8) and did not let us know until get the bill.

Food was good and very well priced! Must say that I was a tiny bit disappointed by the paella but it was still good. Great service and atmosphere and the restaurant looks absolutely lovely.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. 👌👌👌

Really great food! Their pre-theatre menu is really reasonably priced which meant that between 5 of us we tried a lot of the menu!

Had a lovely catch-up with friends and enjoyed excellent tapas

Great Tapas in a very Spanish feeling place. Lovely decor and food.

Found this place by accident when looking for somewhere to eat. We have not been out for ages and did a game of put up a Google map of the west end,shut my eyes and touch the screen. This is where we landed and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. Gentleman who greeted us was warm and friendly, the atmosphere as soon as you walk in was buzzing. The seating is comfortable. Staff were over withing minutes to take our drink orders and left us to choose. The menu is not massive, so your head won't be spinning trying to choose, but the descriptions of all the amazing food make the choices tough. We chose a sharing platter to start which was with us quickly. I asked the advice of our server as to how many dishes to choose and she recommended 5 or 6, she was spot on,as there were two of us the amount was perfect, the food was delicious,full of flavour and fresh. All in all an amazing experience and we are already trying to decide what dishes we will have next time, maybe even have the paella.

Nice Spanish style restaurant in the East End of Glasgow. Very pleasant decor welcoming staff and good freshly cooked food. Will visit again.

Really nice atmosphere and food was superb

Not the tapas I was hoping for. Patata bravas all cooked wrong. Padron peppers ( size was ridiculously small - 7 peppers max). Croquettes with jamon nothing special and quite cold! Goat cheese with marmelade really good. Sangria was a disaster and the second drink was served on a glass of water with no ice at all. I didn’t have the strength and patience to argue. Service quite flat but the person who welcomed us was really nice.have asked for white wine recommendation but the waiter had no idea. The place needs a good deep cleaning as you can spot dust on corners and where the put the Christmas decorations.

Introducing my husband to Spanish tapas for the first time. Everything tasted delicious

Locale in stile andaluso nel west end di Glasgow. I piatti sono molto buoni e gli accostamenti tra i sapori non banali. Ottimo l'agnello speziato e il caprino con arancia amara caramellata. Le ragazze al servizio sono sempre sorridenti e rapide. Complimenti. Tornerò senz'altro.

Excellent food, great service. Really enjoyed it.

Lovely meal and lovely place. Thank you.

Fab as always, latte though bit tasteless

Lovely friendly staff, good food Spanish decor and music perfect.

The staff and ambiance is very nice. However, the paella had no taste to it, almost like it had no seasoning. I did not like the food and my partner said “it was the worst paella he ever had”.

I've been to Café Andaluz several times but this last one has been the occasion that push me to write this review. Lovely food and drinks as always but what made the difference today was the quality of the service provided. The manager Miguel and the lovely waitress Pearl really went above and beyond to accomodate my severe intolerance to black pepper and chilly pepper, both of them provided information and truthful information about the dishes and suggested reasonable changes to the dishes. Thanks to this, I have been able to fully enjoy the dinner and both of them really deserve a round of applause and a big thank you, so, thank you both!

Amazing, friendly service. Food was delicious and genuinely one of the best coffees ive had in Glasgow

Large tip was added to my bill without asking, unacceptable in this country. This isn't the USA.

Always a perfect lunch ,been visiting this restaurant for years

Excellent tapas as always. Bread and olives to start with balsamic and olive oil. Followed by patatas gradinatas. Meat balls, chorizo black pudding. Goats cheese with marmalade and chicken in honey

Great place for food with atmosphere, staff are great and food is awesome!

For anyone willing to try some real Andalusian experience abroad, even for some Spanish nostalgic… awesome food, great atmosphere and super nice stuff. Bravo! 🇪🇸👏❤️

Just can't fault it from the food to the service

Delicious food with a great variety of options, service could have been more attentive and restaurant felt slightly cramped, but other than that, fantastic.

Great tapas and service. We'll be back. M&G🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I am an identical twin, and this is our go-to place for a celebratory birthday dinner. The staff could not have been more professional or courteous, and the manager, Manuel, topped the lot. He could remember us and where we sat the previous year. Superb food and a great choice of wine or drinks tops it all off for a memorable visit

Meal bought for us as a 25th wedding anniversary gift. We were both very impressed with the choice of dishes and the quality of the food once it turned up. The creme brulé was especially nice, both in its taste and the generosity of the serving. Will be back.

Another anniversary dinner with my lovely wife. This is the first time we have visited the west end restaurant as we normally book with the one near George square. Food was good, a few things were amiss with the meatballs as the individual balls were tough. But other than that a great atmosphere with all the Spanish touches surrounding us. The service was great with the only nip pick was we had to constantly try and find out waiter for drinks. He seamed to be fully concentrating on the larger tables.

A favourite of my cousin and we visited with her during a short trip to Glasgow. Good variety of tapas with super friendly helpful staff. Felt transported to Spain. 🤩

Food was good but if you want to have a girls night out christen the supervisor told us to be quiet because we was having a good time totally put us off and wanted to get out of there so quickly

I always enjoy everything I purchase there

Chicken in batter with Honey, croquettes with ham and mozzarella, and chorizo/black pudding dishes were so tasty. All the food was good and staff friendly and helpful. Slow service but a lovely atmosphere to be in while you wait.

Just tried this Restaurant, stood like an idiot while the guy checked his till, eventually he looked up, although the place was empty he said they are really busy later but could give us a table for an hour or so, told him to forget it and walked out, obviously he didn’t need £80 today, disappointing as the Restaurant in Glasgow City Centre is excellent

Ambience was really nice and cozy. Service was great and so was food.

Incredible food, especially the lemon semifredo. Was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had

Disappointing. I’ve had great experiences with Cafe Andaluz in Edinburgh and Newcastle, but a late lunch in Glasgow failed to deliver. Service and staff were good, but food was lukewarm and the mussels were sufficiently suspect that we didn’t feel comfortable finishing them. Everyone has an off day, and I’d probably give them another chance. Unfortunately when you tell someone that a place is good, and it doesn’t live up to expectations, it doesn’t exactly motivate you to come back.

Nice place for food and drinks Tapas are lovely with a wide variety and great quality. -1 star for service as our drinks arrived way after our food despite us asking the waitress about it. But, it happens, that's why we'll soon be back for more tapas!

The food in this restaurant is so cosy and feels authentic. The food is delicious. I have been a few times and it never fails to impress. Staff are friendly and helpful too.

Booked an ItIsOn Deal for here, sometimes when you get a deal you don't get much choice or the portions are small, not here! Loads of fresh bread and olives, 5 delicious tapas between us and a dessert plus a chilled glass of sangria to wash it all down. Great food and service at a really good price, highly recommended.

Good food but very pricey wine and watch out for the 10% voluntary service charge!!

Usually goto the Edinburgh ones, so may be comparing this branch to these unfairly Vs as if it was a standalone place. Anyway. Food was fine, some dishes were not quite as they usually are but tasted okay. Service was not fantastic as waiter kept knocking things onto the floor, maybe just a bad day. Atmosphere was fine, nice decorations, another unfair comparison I suppose is that this restaurant was completely Glasweigans running it, versus Spanish staff in any other I've been to, which is obviously fine but more importantly they say the dishes in Spanish at the others versus saying in a strong Glasweigan accent "who got the sausage in wine" instead of "chorizo Al vino" makes it feel a lot less exotic. Still a fine restaurant just would recommend to goto another of their sites for a better experience.

Food was quite cold, came in small portions and was not authentic at all, service slow. We were very disappointed.

Very good! Only downside is that I wished we had ordered more and is a tab bit pricey, but excellent for a great- will go again!

Back on holiday after 12 years away and just consistently as good on both the Service as well as food side of the business. Chorizo and Black Pudding is a winner all the way!

Great food and service, £17 for a choice of 3 tapas, i do recommend the Paella.

Dropped in for an early evening bit of food and left stuffed full. Great prices for a heck of a big portion/s. Tasty too and all delivered swiftly and efficiently. Staff, a couple of newbies I think, were polite and efficient. Wine not badly priced either. Go to either of the Cafes in an irregular basis. Why, I ask myself when the food is this good and at these prices.

Lovely interior, great staff and the food was delicious we will definitely be back

Good menu, focused on real tapas experience.

Tasty food and lovely decor. Service could be better though.

Great restaurant. Staff were lovely.

Food and service were exceptional! After traveling all day, we were trying to find a late night place for dinner, we ran into the owners as we were wandering around. They could see that we couldn’t find a place and they pointed us towards their restaurant. They were so kind and friendly. Thanks Lindsay!

The chicken thigh tapas is amazing. Prompt service and comfortable environment. Couldn't fault it

Great tapas experience - had 9 dishes between us, so lots of variety and all really tasty.

Restaurante de comida espanhola muito bom. As tapas são bem servidas e a paella é muito gostosa...recomendo.

amazing place. first time here. service and staff were excellent, food was incredible. brilliant night. definitely recommend 👌

Went here saturday night with husband. Hadnt been out in a while and normally love this place. Prawns where chewy,croquettes where pasty and tasteless,black pudding was dry.What a huge disappointment,food was mediocre at best. Table was the size of a postage stamp and had to put wine on floor for room. Zero stars i'm afraid

The food was good and server was friendly.

We had a very large group booking and were provided with a good space, a tasting menu that gave us shared platters that met all dietary needs. There was plenty of choice on the platters and the food was delicious.

Celebrated our sons 18th here, food was amazing, staff were attentive and friendly. Highly recommend. Thanks

Lovely service however disappointing food. Patatas Bravas lacked any type of flavour, very bland. Bland taste continued with other vegetable tapas options.

Cafe Andaluz has been one of our staple eateries for a number of years. The menu is varied, tasty and dishes are always well presented. Cafe Andaluz has two outlets in Glasgow, one close to George Square and the other in the city's West End, both have a decor and atmosphere that lend a visit that authentic Spanish vibe. On this occasion we took advantage of a deal that entitled us to 3 courses and glass of sangria each. I would recommend that anyone who can should take advantage of this offer.

Very nice place and food was fantastic, well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Lovely afternoon dining with delicious food

End of term choir lunch. There were 32 of us and the service was excellent! Great food & big portions, even though they were tapas dishes.

Was about to leave before even eating when I saw their “prime of place” picture of a bull pierced in daggers … would give them 5 stars if it wasn’t for the painting .. next time I book I’ll ask if it’s been removed - if not I won’t go back …

Pretty middle of the road and underwhelming if I’m honest. The food was ok but nothing to write home about. £8 for some bread, olives and a bit of oil. Service was very disappointing though. Added a service charge onto the bill too which I absolutely can’t stand. I’m the customer and I’ll decide the tip. If you’re having to add a service charge on, pay your staff more. Not sure if it was just an off day as I’ve heard really good things. Crème brûlée was delicious though.

Had a lovely Mother's Day lunch yesterday....everything was delicious and sangria also lovely! Service was perfect...attentive but not intrusive...made my day ...thank you 🌹

Went for lunch on a Wednesday! Great value, stunning tasting food. Highly recommend! The staff are very welcoming and the overall atmosphere is good. If you haven't been...go immediately!

Really good restaurant, I would say it is on the expensive side for what you get, however overall it’s worth a visit

An excellent venue and high quality food and wine. Incredibly busy, the staff run off their feet but never faltered in their attention to all their guests
