Spago

You'll find yourself wandering down to the Quay and stumbling into somewhere that actually gets tapas. It's not fussy or Instagram-obsessed—just really good small plates that make you want to order more. The setting's got that converted warehouse charm without trying too hard, all exposed brick and industrial bones, which suits Gloucester's regenerated dockside vibe perfectly. You're eating proper Spanish food here, the kind where quality ingredients do the talking, and it's the sort of place where you'll recognise faces because locals keep coming back.
