Bolero Bamberg — Restaurant in Bamberg

My wife and I were ecstatic to find Bolero in the heart of Bamberg and just a short walk from our hotel. We absolutely love tapas, but we have had mixed experiences in Germany. Let me just say that Bolero is among the best tapas we have had in all of Europe. It doesn't hurt that the restaurant itself is gorgeous and beautifully decorated in Spanish décor. There is also a large outside seating area. We came here on a Friday evening so we decided to do a recon mission beforehand. We came right when they opened up to make a reservation for the evening. We are glad we did as the place was completely packed by the time we finished our two-hour meal. We started with some delicious and perfectly cooked fried calamari. This was followed by gambas al ajillo and pulpo Galicia, which are always two of our favorites. Both dishes were amazing! We were only half way done as we also enjoyed the pimientos de Padron and sweet potato fries with a soicy sauce. Again, these dishes were outstanding. For our final tapa, we ordered something I had never seen before on a tapas menu. It was called pasta rellena, which was simply noodles cooked in a Manchego cheese sauce. This dish was actually the hit of the evening; however, every item was superbly outstanding! My wife and I enjoyed two glasses of dry white wine. Our waitress was also worth noting as Nexhisa Zeko took fabulous care of us. She knew exactly when to bring out a new dish and take away an empty one. The meal, the atmosphere, the service, and the evening were excellent. I strongly recommend coming to Bolero and doing the dance of the tapas! Que deliciosa y...

Come here to eat or drink. You will have very delicious food, very nice service, all 5 stars.

And also, for Asian girls, just a kind reminder: if you have dinner here, you may also receive the “goodwill” of an old gentleman, who is suuuper friendly. He will keep watching you, sizing you up, and staring at you while you eat. If you treat him with respect for older people and smile back, he will come over to talk to you, tell you his age, and the fact that he does not have a wife, letting you fully feel his "enthusiasm" and "friendliness". He will flatter you—telling you how young and pretty you look, and of course, how all Asian girls are so beautiful. Once he learns you are here studying alone, he will generously offer his pity: “Poor thing, no father, no mother here, living all by yourself, how sad!" Completely ignoring the fact that we are mature, independent adult women who can take care of ourselves. Even if you try to keep physical distance, he will keep moving closer, trying to sit nearer and nearer to you.

This all happened to us three "poor" girls at around 21:00 on 28.09.2025.

Many thanks to the hotel reception staff: while this old man was talking to us, they kindly gave us three non-alcoholic drinks and offered the old gentleman a glass of alcohol. The drinks for us were very good. Thank you very much.

Note: This was just a very personal, random encounter and has nothing to do with the restaurant itself. The food and the service here are truly excellent, and I give this...

This is my most favorite restaurant in Bamberg. It is amazing food for many different situations. romantic occasions grab a table and have a nice steak or pasta. Do you wish to booze it up in high class fashion; hit up the patio and enjoy many different alcohol types. From a nice chilled wine to a local beer. There are plenty of beautiful German women who visit this location. It is a popular pre game location to clubbing in the area. The décor is traditional Spanish motif; tile and old woods every where. One of my traditions was to hit up the location at 8:30 pm and have about 3 tapas. Tapas-is a Spanish bar food served in smaller portions and made for sharing. I would drink a nice local beer and have some talk time with friends before heading to the green goose or mouse club. If you are in the Bamberg area and wish to experience a great restaurant visit this location. You will be pleased.

For a personal story when my father was still alive he visited me for 14 days from Houston and feel in love with this place. He loved the bar and the atmosphere and the location. He told me after I left his apartment which was close by; he headed to Bolero's for a beer and stayed until 2 am with a little person drinking all night with him and the owner. He asked me how it was doing some time later, it is a...
