🇪🇸 Philadelphia Dining｜Oloroso Spanish Restaurant 🍴

A Spanish spot near downtown Philly — the entrance may look modest, but it’s super popular! They open at 4:30 PM, and by a little after 5 PM when I arrived, the place was already a third full! Honestly, the menu descriptions all sounded amazing — I restrained myself and only ordered a few popular items: 1️⃣ Grilled Octopus 🦑 2️⃣ Charred Eggplant 🍆 3️⃣ Crispy Pork Belly 🥩 4️⃣ Squid Ink Paella 🥘 Three appetizers + one main — no disappointments! Everything tonight had a slightly sweet note — maybe especially suited to Southern taste buds? 😅 The only letdown: we couldn’t try the famous Paella Oloroso (the restaurant’s signature seafood paella) because my boyfriend can’t eat shrimp 🍤, and the chef said the broth already contains shrimp stock. If you love seafood, definitely give their signature paella a try — many reviews give it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! With inflation hitting hard lately, many restaurants have raised prices — tonight’s menu might be the updated one too. Total after tip: $135. Portions aren’t huge, so it’s on the pricier side, but the flavors really deliver! Worth it for a special occasion every few months to treat yourself after all that hard work 💼✨ #PhillyEats #SpanishFood #OlorosoPhilly #PaellaLove #DateNight #FoodieReview #TreatYourself
