Mi Casa

Presenting Glasgow locals, workers and visitors with an amazing selection of Spanish tapas using family recipes and high quality ingredients, Mi Casa is among the very best casual eateries in the city centre, and it is surely unrivaled in terms of authentic Spanish eating. Throw in some chic design, a cool atmosphere and fantastic selection of drinks from the bar, and you have one of the safest choices for a drink, get-together or meal around George Square and Merchant City.

As the name suggests to even rudimentary Spanish speakers, this groovy bar and restaurant on John Street has cool decor and a warm, vibrant atmosphere where you can easily feel at home. However, if you actually ate food like this at home, you would have no reason or desire ever to leave the house! Mi Casa is located in a prime city centre spot between George Square and Merchant City, but looking at the food you would be forgiven for thinking you were beside the staggering Nuestra Señora del Pilar basilica in Zaragoza rather than in the heart of central Glasgow.

There are too many delicious tapas to count (or describe) here on John Street, many of them handed down by the owner of Mi Casa’s (Spanish) mother. That speaks for the food’s authority, but really the tantalising tapas speak for themselves – squid cooked in its own ink, Spanish chorizo in red wine, chicken slow-cooked in orange and beer, morcilla from Burgos and plentiful incarnations of potato (including patatas bravas of course) are just a few of the treats on offer. Whether for sharing some tapas over a drink, a classy but casual lunch in the city centre or perhaps hoping for a delicious pre-theatre meal, Mi Casa is very hard to beat in central Glasgow.
