Welcome to Los Gatos, the quintessential embodiment of Spain's culinary heritage in the heart of Old Town, Swindon. Since 2003, we have been dedicated to curating a unique dining experience rooted in the authentic and multifaceted traditions of Spanish gastronomy. Whether you are a long-standing patron or a first-time guest, our mission is to offer a sophisticated exploration of Spain's diverse culinary landscape.

Our Story

The narrative of Los Gatos began with founders Phil and Shareen, whose extensive travels across Spain imbued them with a profound appreciation for the nation's vibrant culinary and cultural identity. Motivated by a desire to encapsulate the essence of Spanish dining, they established Los Gatos on Wood Street. Drawing inspiration from the bustling mercados of Madrid to the sun-drenched terraces of Andalucía, their vision resonated with diners seeking authenticity and conviviality. Following the transfer of ownership in 2020, the establishment underwent a transformative refurbishment in 2022. This £1 million investment expanded the venue to accommodate 120 covers, seamlessly merging contemporary aesthetics with enduring Spanish charm.


The Menu

At Los Gatos, our menu serves as a meticulously crafted homage to Spain's gastronomic diversity. We celebrate the distinctive regional specialities that define Spanish cuisine, offering an array of dishes that encapsulate the rustic robustness of Calabria and Leon, the refined elegance of Madrid, the avant-garde innovation of San Sebastian, and the radiant flavours of Andalucía. Central to our culinary philosophy is an unwavering commitment to sourcing premium ingredients, particularly artisanal meats, cheeses, and wines that evoke the terroir and traditions of Spain. Complementing these offerings, our curated wine selection showcases a harmonious blend of iconic Spanish vintages and lesser-known regional treasures, enhancing the dining experience with every pairing.

The Atmosphere

Our meticulously designed dining space epitomises the vibrancy and sociability inherent to Spanish culinary culture. The dynamic ambience, characterised by the convivial hum of conversation and the melodic clinking of glasses, fosters a sense of community and celebration. Whether your occasion calls for an intimate table for two or a festive gathering of up to 40 guests, our adaptable seating arrangements ensure a bespoke and memorable experience. This ethos captures the very essence of Spanish dining, where meals transcend nourishment to become shared rituals of connection and festivity.

At Los Gatos, we are deeply committed to cultivating an environment that is as welcoming as it is enriching.
