AleOli y Tu in Shropshire

Amazing tapas and lovely service. Thank you!

Lovely spot with your usual tapas fare done well. Standout dishes for us were the gambas pil pil, grilled vegetables and from the trio dips - the tapenade and humus were buzzing with flavour. Service was attentive and efficient.

We had a lovely evening at AleOli. Despite getting delayed in traffic and arriving late, the staff, knowing we were going to the theatre couldn't have looked after us any better. Delicious food, fantastic service and we will definitely be back again.

Came here to celebrate a birthday and could not fault anything. Every dish was brilliant and the staff were lovely and attentive. Would definitely recommend!

It was super busy when I arrived, not having booked, but the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Once the theatre crowd had gone I had a lovely table. The food (chorizo, cod and cauliflower) and wine (Albariño) was incredible. You really should visit, I will again and again

It was super busy when I arrived with people going to the theatre, however the staff were incredible and couldn’t be more helpful. The food (chorizo, cod and cauliflower) and wine (Albariño) was delightful. Thank you.

We arrived on a Saturday night around 8 without a booking and were pleasantly surprised that a table was available, not only that but a “better” one became available while we were choosing - it later became apparent they wanted to shut the section we were originally early.. The food was pleasant enough but there were frequent interruptions to our conversation from staff asking if everything was ok. We were asked if we wanted more drinks when we ordered desert but then found that staff were sweeping up around us (it was around 9.30 by then) so we felt rushed to drink up. We were the last people to leave around 9.45 and the door was shut and looked noisily the moment we were outside, although closing time wasn’t till 10. Would not return.

Oh my word what a beautiful place, the food is “fuera de este mundo”. Staff attentive and priced as it should be. Bonus a few steps from the theatre. Will be attending more now found this little Spanish place. Thank you

This is the third time i have been to this restaurant, never disappointed!!! Unreal food, amazing cocktails and lovely staff - 10/10 would definitely recommend!!

I can never begin to say how amazing the food tastes wow the flavours explode in your mouth and the service that we received from the minute I walked in until the moment we left, Fran the owner is so attentive and so happy to make sure you are catered for, will definitely be going back for more xx

As always, wonderful food in a great setting with a great team. Highly recommended.

Wonderful gem offering authentic Spanish tapas. Fantastic atmosphere. Staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Food was stunning, fresh ingredients, cooked beautifully and the flavours were incredible! Steak Chimchurri, Chorizo Agridulce and Gambas al Ajillo are not to be missed. Can’t wait to come back again soon!

Great food and very friendly staff

Absolutely lovely meal this evening... I totally recommend this restaurant! Service was great, and we met the chef! Brilliant!

I had 4 tapas here which were all lovely and a blackcurrant and water cordial. When I got the bill it was £44!!! There was a chicken livers tapas in the menu which a person from another table had bought my dog to eat and the waitress was notified about this and even asked me if it was ok if they bought it for my dog. The blackcurrant cordial was charged at a ludicrous price and another surplus dish was added…. I raised the issue with the bill and it was correctly changed to £29!!! Food was lovely and would come again but I will be checking my bill for sure

We were a group of three and as on previous occasions were made so welcome by the staff. They talked us through the menu noting some personal favourites and specials and would chat as and when passing- it gives the venue such an intimate friendly feeling. We ordered a good number of sharing options and I'm sorry to say we failed to take photos as we were far too excited to tuck in! Personally I'm not a great fan of aubergine but we ordered it and it was delicious- really worth trying as many different bits and pieces as possible. The bill had an optional 10% service charge on which we were not pressured to pay, but we did as we had great service and really enjoyed the visit.

Visited with my partner for some fabulous Spanish cuisine and we were not let down! We ordered a tapas variation and our favourites were the garlic mushrooms and the sesame chicken, both exquisite! It was very busy, but our server Julia was super accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu and wines, she really made the experience for us. We cannot wait to return, both the dining and service exceeded expectations, thank you for a perfect evening!

What a great evening. Wonderful atmosphere, fantastic food and unsurpassable service. Ideal for a casual stroll by the river and to pop in for early evening tapas and a glass of wine. Can't wait for the next visit.

Fantastic food but attitude of the Manager ruined the evening for us. Everything/everyone else was great. When we booked we were aware we only had the table for an hour and a half ... and this wasn't an issue for us until the manager kept reminding us of this fact and on her saying she'd bring the bill after clearing our dishes at the end, she was very defensive (as I'm sure she will be in response to this review) when I felt I had to mention it was a good job we didn't want dessert and that it wasn't our fault that our order wasn't taken for around 20-30 minutes after arriving. She said she couldn't help the delays in the kitchen (she didn't understand that my issue was not the time waiting for food ... which actually came out fairly quickly ... but the time to take the order which consequently ate into the time allocated to us having our table). We've been here several times before ... but sadly will think twice before returning. I suggested she consider allocating tables for 2 hours rather than 1.5 hours as this would reduce stress for all ... I find it embarrassing that we act like this in this country, greed on our part maybe. I don't have a problem waiting for my order to be taken (the other lady ... who to our order ... was lovely) but don't then expect me to have to rush my food! Shame I missed out on dessert as I remember it being amazing previously. Compliments to the chef(s) and all the staff bar the Manager who has become slightly complacent maybe in how she treats her customers.

The food and service has been great every time we have eaten here. The wine is also delicious 😋

Me and my boyfriend had tapas here on Wednesday evening. The food was fantastic, the service was fast and the staff were friendly. Definitely recommend anyone that loves tapas to come here :) will definitely be going back!

could not fault this place enough, second you walk through the door of this local business, the staff don't hesitate on welcoming you. as were seated at our table you can see the staff constantly pushing to ensure you have a good experience. with the food being incredible, you can tell its really hitting home with the chefs In the kitchen.

Absolutely fantastic food, really up there with the best of what Shrewsbury has to offer

Fabulous restaurant. Atmosphere great, staff very professional and friendly. Choice of food and quality was excellent. Definitely booking again.

Exceptional food! Authentic experience with friendly staff

Absolutely wonderful evening, food was delicious, staff are friendly and attentive.. highly recommend…

Took the bird here she loved the grub from chef Lewis thank you too geeza 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👑👑🦁

Can’t fault the service or atmosphere. Food was nice and plentiful.

Love this place, always go before going to Theatre Severn, staff are great, service wonderful. Look forward to seeking you on Tuesday!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a fantastic tapas experience! This restaurant truly captures the essence of Spanish cuisine in every bite. The ambiance is lively and inviting, perfect for sharing small plates with friends and family. The variety of tapas offered is impressive, my favourite being the classic patatas bravas. Each dish is bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. The service was exceptional, with knowledgeable staff who were eager to make recommendations and ensure a memorable dining experience. If you're looking for a taste of Spain in the heart of Shrewsbury, look no further than this tapas restaurant. A five-star experience that I can't wait to repeat!

Not good value for money. The food had no flavor, no perfume, no olive oil, salt or pepper; we had to wait 45 minutes for the second course. The kitchen was not happy when it was pointed out that the omelette had been prepared for several hours.

Myself & my partner went here for the first time last night and it was delicious. The service was great, all our dishes out & finished in 30mins even though the restaurant was busy! It's delicious, authentic Spanish food & we'll definitely be back.

This is my fav place to eat in Shrewsbury! The tapas is always gorgeous and the sangria is soooooooo good! Date night, girls night, pre theatre dinner or Saturday lunch it’s always amazing and never disappoints! Fran and her staff are super welcoming and create such a fun atmosphere

A positive addition to the Shrewsbury food scene. Tapas well-crafted and served promptly, tasty ingredients presented attractively in a homely atmosphere. Perfect pre-theatre meal.

Amazing food, great service and a very spanish atmosphere 👌 10 out of 10

Went for a work meal, food was fantastic, service very quick and staff incredibly helpful when it came to splitting the bill. Will be coming back if I’m ever in the area.

Delicious tapas - and we were a large party, but our orders came through piping hot, obviously cooked to order.Service perfect and atmosphere great. We will all be revisiting, and thank you for giving us a brilliant start to our fun theatre evening.

Had a wonderful meal last night. The staff were extremely attentive, ensuring we made the theatre on time. The food was delicious and we will definitely return!

We ate here on Thurs evening and they were outstanding. We arrived in Shrewsbury for the theatre and hadn't eaten, we had 20mins before we needed to be at the theatre. When we asked if we had time to eat they took our food order straight away and put it in, then came back for our drink order. The food arrived promptly and we were able to enjoy the meal. The staff were great as they took our payment as we ate so we could just leave when we were ready.

Delicious food and drinks, friendly service and a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

We had such a brilliant time and ate so much good food. We went for the set menu and added a few extras. It was all so good. Favourites include the prawns, the tomato salad and the chorizo. Thanks so much for having us especially after we accidentally turned up late! Can’t wait to come back!

One of my favourite places in Shrewsbury :) the food, atmosphere and service are all amazing every time. You can of course order the tapas individually or if you don’t want to choose (or are too busy talking to choose like me!) then the set menu is a great option too :) thank you!

Myself and my partner come here often for date night, the food is excellent (the chorizo and peppers being a stand out) and the service is always friendly and obliging- a hidden gem in Shrewsbury I can’t recommend enough

Very disappointing. Wasn't very busy which was nice and was sat fairly quickly. The was a couple vaping in the corner which was off putting. The prices on the menu where good but I felt we were pushed to the set sharing menu which was £25 a head. Even though most of the dishes on there we weren't after. The started was a meet platter which was mostly just bread. And was pretty basic. Then our dishes came out. The individual price of the food on the menu was around £80 but because we got the set menu it was a £100. The calamari was very disappointing. Shaky and chewy with very little value. But the rest of the food was okay. Probably won't come again.

We were looked after so well by the restaurant. They squoze us in last minute even though we are a big table. Then spoilt us and arranged a lovely surprise for my husband's birthday. Food was delclious but the customer service was even better. 👌 thanks guys. We will be back x look how happy he is!

Thanks for organising the most special night for my husband's birthday. We had a glorious time. Food was delclious, staff were AMAZING and everything was faff free, so we could just enjoy the evening. There was a lot of us but they were super organised so it wasn't gard work at all. Thanks guys. We will see you again soon x

Lovely food,staff really friendly....happy to help and explain the menu,will definitely return.

Food was lovely, but delivery was a little disjointed. I know that to traditionally order Tapas you order small plates ‘as you go’ and hence enjoy a long leisurely meal, but we knew we were on a timer for the table so just ordered our tapas’s all at the same time, and decided to enjoy our feast all together. ( I know it’s not possible to enjoy a traditional hours long tapas dinner in the u.k., so it wouldve been better to have all the plates delivered at the same time rather than eating what the kitchen could cook the quickest first)The food came out in bits and drabs, often with quite long waits in between (again i know this is traditionally what happens but only when ordered in bits and drabs) so was a little disappointing. Desserts were the same, one dessert came out 10 minutes before the other dessert arrived (there’s no excuse for this). Also….the dreaded ‘service charge’🤦‍♀️…..we were happy to pay it, but the u.k. is not America and you’re actually doing your staff and yourselves a disservice by automatically applying it…we would’ve ‘tipped’ more but having that choice taken out of our hands we just paid and left. I would return again but not for dinner x

As always it was an absolutely fantastic. Our favorite place to eat and we return again and again. The food and service were amazing. Thank you for a brilliant evening.

Fabulous food and fabulous service! We were so impressed and can’t wait to return, the food was delicious and the service was incredible! We were made to feel so welcomed it, it was like we were part of the family. Thank you, can’t wait to return! (The noisy ladies 😉)

The food was excellent. Chorizo was the best we've ever had. Service was very good. However, we followed the recommendation on the menu of having 5/6 dishes and still left hungry, despite having a bread and potato dish. We also booked a table and we were placed in the front window. This resulted in my better half having to wear her coat as she was so cold.

Great for pre theatre Tapas. Helpful and efficient, particularly as we were time restricted because of our theatre visit.

Booked for a pre theatre meal on a very wet evening. Good service and very tasty food, but not quite the choice of menu items that we have seen at other tapas restaurants. Would definitely go again. Very well placed and set up for pre theatre meals.

Lovely food, will definitely be back

Just the kind of place we love to eat - delicious tapas in a warm and welcoming space - highly recommend!

Nine of us for a birthday meal- fabulous food, great service & friendly, warm atmosphere- very reasonable prices too! Someone in our group who’d lived in Spain recently for a year said it was best Spanish food he’d had outside of Spain!

Fabulous tapas restaurant with an exciting menu. We shared the plata mixta.. delicious..and followed with patatas bravas, chorizo, salt & pepper squid, croquetas and the special pork in tomato sauce.. and I can say that this was one of the tastiest tapas meals EVER! The pork was especially tasty and so soft and succulent . We finished the meal sharing the tasting desert platter.. divine. With cute Spanish decor and a friendly, vibrant atmosphere I can certainly recommend AleOle y Tu for a true taste of modern Spain.

Very friendly staff, great tapas! Good selection of delicious tapas and nice cold beer. Nice atmosphere and reasonably priced.

This is a fabulous Spanish tapas restaurant. Most friendly staff, authentic atmosphere and the was delicious

Highly recommended, ask for fran.

Seven of us ate here for a birthday celebration. The food was outstanding. The staff were all lovely and made the evening really special. Nothing was too much trouble. Can't recommend enough

Great food and the waitress was personable, not just doing the job but making the evening feel relaxed. Recommend people try it for themselves.

Having recently moved to Shrewsbury we're on the look out for some really good food. We arrived here and the decor was cute, the tables were intimate and the food was outstanding! Service was a little slow to begin with but this was completely forgivable when the owner came to our table! She was extremely accommodating, she recommended some beautiful dishes, the cod skewers were worth a particular mention! Beautifully cooked, light batter and so flaky, absolutely on point! Will 100% be visiting again. Thank you so much for your hospitality. 🙌🏻

Beautiful, authentic and incredibly tasty food. Fantastic service and warm atmosphere. I would highly recommend this lovely restaurant and we will definitely be back for more!

Lovely food ,great staff will definitely be back thanks for a lovely evening

The is a wonderful restaurant with great food, ambiance and fantastic staff who are so welcoming and knowledgeable, we have now eaten here three times and ever time it gets more special as the staff now recognise us.

We’ve been here a few times now and never disappoints . Staff are so friendly and helpful and food was amazing . We had a window seat which was lovely .

This was a great meal with fantastic service, beautiful setting beside theatre and the Tapas top quality.. Meat platter a must

We dined here before visiting the Shrewsbury theatre as a family of four. Food was great, we ordered 10 plates between the 4 of us and we were all very satisfied, service was good, the white wine sangria went down very well and everything tasted authentic! Will definitely return!

Great little place with handy parking at Frankwell. Lovely atmosphere and of course it's an iconic location at the Welsh Bridge by the river. Service was great. The food was delicious and plentiful. The set menu for 4 people was recommended and I can endorse that recommendation.

The food was fantastic and can I just say that the service wasn't as good as it could have been

Atmosphere , food and great service. We had large table central room for 40th Birthday meal. Highly recommend by us.

The food was lovely and the staff were so nice and friendly, nothing was too much for them, highly recommend

Love eating at AleOli, staff are always so welcoming and the food is always brilliant. Would recommend to anyone!

A last minute, off the cuff, booking. Made to feel very welcome. Service was great, food was terrific. Was our first time visiting the restaurant, will definitely return.

Very delicious Spanish tapas, good to try again

We had an absolutely fantastic evening here. Food was all delicious, the service was spot on, friendly, attentive but not overwhelming. Lovely ambience. Bottle of wine courtesy of the lovely Ella made it perfect!!! Will definitely be returning soon.......❤️

Food was excellent and very tasty a great choice of tapas for all tastes .The staff were warm and friendly and fans were provided to cool the restaurant down as it was a warm evening.

Came here for the mrs Birthday. Food was unreal, service was impeccable & authentic atmosphere - 10/10 would recommend - Ben

We booked last minute but I am so glad we did Fran was working hard because the pre theatre dinners were in but still managed to make us feel welcome The food and wine were excellent and the service was friendly So much so we...

We visited on a Saturday evening and took a table for two on the pavement outside the restaurant- perfect for people watching in the setting sun, sipping delicious sangria and devouring the most amazing tapas - the chorizo and patatas bravas needing a special mention!...

Food was unreal. Service from the girls on that night was amazing. Some of the best tapas I've eaten and in a stunning little setting. When amazing food and quality service combine you are on to a winner. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

We popped in here for something to eat before going to the theatre and the tapas were delicious and plentiful. Highly recommend!

Firstly, the staff were so lovely and friendly. The food was delicious! The nicest tapas I've had in a long long time! I'm travelling from work but when I'm back in Shrewsbury I'll most definitely be back 😁

We visited to celebrate a friend's hen night, there were 12 of us and we had the set menu which was really good value for money. Frances and her team were just fantastic, really great service and very welcoming. The sangria was fab and the...

We were looking for a casual restaurant with fantastic food and this place really hit the spot. Great food freshly cooked and friendly and very knowledgeable service The chorizo was amazing We look forward to returning and would definitely recommend

Great food as always and excellent service.

Came to shrewsbury to take one of our boys out for a catch up now he lives there. Found this place on trip advisor and so glad we did. Met at the door by a lovely lady who was charming and so natural all night...

Brilliant food.good service. Some of the best tapas we've tasted.

The food was amazing, well worth a visit.

BOOK AND ENJOY! It’s that simple! A brilliant restaurant and we shall be returning. Lovely staff, fantastic food, and very nice ambience to this unique spot right on the edge of the Welsh bridge right by the Theatre. You will not be disappointed. Thank you guys and keep up the great work!

Fantastic evening at AleOlí y tu. Fantastic food and fantastic service. We had the set menu for four twice as there were eight of us. So many tasty dishes to taste. Lovely atmosphere and lovely staff. I can highly recommend.

We have never been here before Made to feel so welcome We went a bit over the top with our dishes The lady said we won’t need all them and we didn’t The food was so tasty each dish arrived hot one after another We...

Shared a lovely couple of hours with a group friends here , the food was delicious, atmosphere was great and the service was fantastic, so welcoming . Definitely recommend!

A lovely atmosphere and feel let down buy uninspiring food and lacklustre service. Having been a lover of a weekly tapas meal we need a new place to eat after moving to Shrewsbury AleOli left us seriously underwhelmed.

Amazing food and great staff! Perfect just before going to the theatre! We will be back very soon!

We were a group of 10 and had a lovely time here. The food was so tasty, between us all we must have tasted the whole menu and there were no complaints from any of us. Wonderful hosting skills from all who served us, a...

Lovely meal, great little place by the river. Quite busy but weren't left waiting for too long. Steak chimichurri was excellent! Would definitely visit again.

Great vibe, superb steak and top service from the AleOli y Tu team - will look forward to coming back for another Tapas night.

Fantastic food and really lovely people. Even though we hadn’t booked we were made feel so welcome and luckily got a cancellation. Thanks Frances (the boss) and Julia for looking after us so well. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
