Tinto Tapas - West End

Glasgow may be more renowned for the Barras than its barrios, but at Tinto Tapas on Hyndland Street in the West End, you can experience a taste of Spanish cuisine in the Dear Green Place. Its location is enviable – right by Kelvinhall subway and a short hop from Partick railway station – and its welcome is as warm as an afternoon by the pool in Benidorm. The menu features all the favourites beloved of anyone who’s ever had the pleasures of the back streets of Barcelona, so what are you waiting for? Gather up your amigos and dander on down to the Costa del Clyde for a superb Spanish supper.

Their tapas menu is among the finest in Glasgow, and their drinks list is packed with wines guaranteed to get your night out rioja-ing and rolling. If you bring enough folk with you – and, if you’ve ever had tapas, you’ll know that a large group is the way to go, amigo – you can get the full spread of Spanish favourites on your trip to Hyndland Street in Glasgow’s West End.
