Absolutely delicious place to eat! My partner surprised me by booking Olé Olé; as grateful as I was, I thought 'just Tapas' - this was a huge mistake! It was one of the nicest food outings I've had in some time - and will definitely return in the future. The restaurant is owned and run by a Spanish family, this means you can expect an authentic Spanish tapas dining experience - including drinks (sangria) and décor (Spanish guitars/sombreros). I didn't take any pics inside as it was a little crowded and I didn't want to freak anyone out. We had 3 tapas dishes each and to be honest, perhaps one too many, but each dish had something unique about it - I didn't regret even one (especially not the cauliflower 🤤). The dessert was overkill but what great meal doesn't end with something sweet 😜 again, authentic Spanish desserts! The manager was a legend; keeping it brief, they wanted to move us to accommodate a party of 6, which along with a huge apology came free drinks and dessert!!! That's customer service - everybody was a winner. Already looking forward to my next visit to Olé Olé.

I recently discovered an exceptional Spanish restaurant in the UK that surpassed all expectations. I'm always on the lookout for authentic flavours, and this place truly impressed me. From the moment I walked in, the staff warmly welcomed me. The menu offered a tantalizing selection of traditional Spanish dishes. The croquetas de pollo (chicken croquettes) were a crispy delight with a creamy filling. Equally delicious were the croquetas hortelanas (vegetable croquettes) bursting with fresh vegetable flavours. The standout dish was the pescado frito adobado (marinated fried fish). The fish was perfectly cooked with a crispy coating, and the marinade added a burst of delightful flavours. The accompanying patatas locas (crazy potatoes) were zesty and aromatic, elevating the whole experience. I was pleasantly surprised when the manager graciously invited me to tour the clean and well-organized kitchen. It reflected the restaurant's commitment to quality and attention to detail. In conclusion, I highly recommend this Spanish gem to anyone in the UK craving an authentic taste of Spain.

Olé Olé Tapas Bar & Restaurant is a gem of a tapas restaurant that never fails to delight. The moment you step in, you're greeted with a lively, welcoming ambience that sets the perfect tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The staff's warmth and professionalism add an extra touch of charm, ensuring every visit feels like a special occasion. No matter how busy the restaurant is, you feel well looked after! As for the sangria, it's a tantalising blend of fruits and wine that effortlessly complements the enticing flavours of the tapas. When it comes to the food, each dish is a masterpiece, brimming with authentic Spanish flavours and prepared with meticulous attention to detail. From the savoury patatas bravas to the succulent gambas al ajillo, every bite is a testament to the chef's expertise in traditional Spanish cuisine. The desserts were phenomenal and it was hard to choose what to have. We had the best night and can't wait to go again soon!

For various reasons we reluctantly booked a table at 6:30 here when we generally prefer to eat later. We expected the usual early evening lull but were surprised it was absolutely packed already. A really nice space - buzzy and lively without being too clattery. An interesting variety of tapas - more than just the usual suspects. And the food - astonishingly good. We've eaten tapas all over Spain, especially in Seville, and tried many places in the UK including some of the most fashionable London places. This is easily the best in the UK that we've tried and better than 80% of the places we've eaten in Spain. Bread, aioli, oil and vinegar, Altias de pollo, Lentejas con Chorizo y Jamon, Pescado Adobado Frito, Patatas Salteadas - all superb. Probably the best meal we've had this year. Service was good too. Fantastic place.

We've eaten at Olé Olé a number of times over the years and love it! The service is first class, always friendly and efficient, the prices are reasonable, portion sizes generous and the quality of the food is fantastic. I have my favourites, the steak in blue cheese sauce, the fried calamari and the chicken croquettes but everything else is just as tasty. And if you can't finish what you've ordered you get to take a doggy bag home, what more could you ask for? Perhaps the secret recipe of the awesomely delicious complementary shot of what tastes like sweet liquid sunshine that you get given after an evening meal? I almost forgot to mention the absolutely beautiful smoked olives you can order as a starter. I think I could live on these alone. And the churros in chocolate sauce, mustn't forget them either!

Went randomly with my husband for dinner when on a trip near Lincoln and had the happiest most heavenly dining experience. The owner and the full staff are so friendly and down to earth, you can actually feel like family and you’re guaranteed to have fun and enjoy the warm merry Mediterranean vibes of this place. The food was so mouth watering, we had tried 4 tapas; steak with blue cheese, patatas bravas, calamari, and paella in addition to the rice pudding and they were all meticulously prepared and served. My favorites were the hot rich flavored steak with blue cheese tapas and the rice pudding that was perfectly granting you the happy sweet dessert experience with an edgy lemon zest kick and a satisfying crunchy caramel outer layer with a pinch of smoky sweet cinnamon sprinkle
