Cafe Ole in Milton Keynes - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Sublime food, fresh, authentic, beautifully cooked and flavoured. Great ambience, good choice easy to park, lovely relaxed lunch with friends.

Had a delicious tapas lunch. Food was authentic and so full of flavour. Presentation was excellent and every dish smelt amazing. Staff were friendly and efficient. Will definitely be back.

Finding decent tapas is always a great win, particularly when it’s on your doorstep. We had a very nice meal at Ole, starting with the sharing platter which was great as you got a little bit of all the tapas we were interested in trying. We also ordered a couple of other tapas, the pork belly was delicious as were the goats cheese bonbons. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. Only minor gripe was that the service, whilst friendly, was a little slow and we sometimes struggled to get the attention of the staff. Parking was also a bit confusing as there are a lot of private parking signs. But there is a strip of parking just outside of the complex with is free for a few hours. Otherwise, a very nice meal out.

We went to the Ole Tapas following our wedding ceremony with our 2 friends. As usual the food was amazing as usual and the service second to none. Would thoroughly recommend this restaurant for truly authentic cuisine and ambience!

Amazing food and service at this place. We preordered the seafood paella when we booked the table and it was absolutely worth doing so as it was an incredible paella. We also had the patatas bravas and the chorizo lollipops which were amazing, as well as the churros for dessert. We had a great time here and we’re definitely recommending it to others!

As always amazing service and food. Located at very a very nice part in Wolverton and restaurant has a nice atmosphere. Cafe Ole is in my top 3 best restaurants in and around Milton Keynes.

What a find. Some of the best tapas I have had outside Spain. The porceta, meatballs and bacalao were exceptional and the torta and charros delicious Good choice of wines to match all at reasonable prices and excellent service to match What's not to love? I wish we had Ole in Manchester!

Our meal was sublime with all tapas delicious and impeccably prepared to Michelin star standard. Arroz de Marisco was the best we have had in the UK with subtle layers of flavours - absolutely delicious and this was followed by croquettes de pescado/ meatballs/ calamares fritos/ goats cheese croquettes / mushroom croquettes. All courses were perfect and we left planning to return as soon as possible. Excellent.

Fantastic little place!! I’ve been here once before years ago, and enjoyed it but went again recently for a lunchtime meeting and it was SUPERB!!! The food, service and atmosphere, all fantastic. Next time I go, it’s for the cocktails and paella.

Just returned from an amazing lunch here. The chefs really know what they are doing. The menu has a good mix of classics like patatas bravas but blended with things like beetroot cured salmon with aioli, and some daily specials, which we had one of. Everything we ordered was delicious. We had one of the sharing boards as well - I'd highly recommend this if it's your first time here. Service was also very friendly and welcoming and they were kind to our daughter who to be fair, was being a pain at the time. They also don't add service automatically, which these days, is to be commended. Needless to say though, they got their tip anyway. We'll be back soon I hope.

I came here for dinner with some friends and had a really lovely experience. I’m a coeliac (strictly gluten free) and was catered for really well. The staff were very accommodating and knowledgeable, letting us know which dishes were safe for me or not and talking through procedures to reduce cross contamination. There were even separate fryers! The food was delicious and there was a really great variety of gluten free options. Will definitely be back!

We dined at Ole for the first time last month having only recently heard about it from a friend. It seems to have been one the best kept secrets locally, but based on our experience this is not likely to last long. The decor of the restaurant is very well done and gives it a stylishly casual feel. We went on a Tuesday evening, which is usually a quiet night for local restaurants, but Ole was buzzing and there was a lovely atmosphere. We tried a wide range of Tapas dishes and found them all excellent, and the wine that was recommended (reasonably priced) was an excellent accompaniment to the food. The staff were great, but we would recommend ordering at intervals rather than in one go in order to have sufficient time to savour and digest dishes before moving on to the next culinary treats. All in all highly recommended, but make sure you book in advance.

I was super excited to go and try some incredibly delicious tapas food at the Olé Tapas in Wolverton. Picky food is my absolute favourite and this did not disappoint, I want to go back for more already! 🤩 Below is what we had: • Ole platter - suckling pig croquettes, mushroom croquettes, crispy chicken, chorizo lollipops with alioli dip, Padron peppers and chorizo mayo. A perfect board of delicious food to share, my favourite on here was the chorizo lollipops very tasty dipped in the alioli 😍 • Arroz negro - squid ink rice with squid and prawns served with alioli. This dish is very tasty with lots of flavours throughout, a very nice fish dish 🐙 • Carilleras - slow roasted OX cheeks, truffle puréed potato with minty mange tout. The meat literally fell apart it was stunning paired with the flavours of the truffle & potato together 🐂 Cocktails: • Mai tai - white & dark rum, triple sec curacao, almond syrup with apple & lime juice. My first time having this cocktail and it was lovely, a strong flavour with a sweet touch, very nice 🍹 • Mojito royale - dark rum, mint, vanilla syrup, angostura bitter & lime. A fab cocktail 👌🏼 I highly recommend a trip to this restaurant, the food is stunning everything on the menu just sounds exciting! The service was fabulous too, very attentive & friendly 😄 I will be back soon to try out more of the menu! 😋

this is one of our favourite restaurant in and around mk. we normally go at lunch time which is not as busy, we find all the staff very helpful and explain what are in the specials if there is any. Also the husband and wife owners are always making sure everything is to your liking I think we have tried most thats on the menu and found everything well cook and presented. I particularly like the black rice and all the croquettes in-fact i haven't found any thing i don't like. Well done to you all and hope 2024 is a good year for you all

Yet another incredible tapas experience by Juan and Beatrice. Fabulously attentive service, with the most devine food Always a treat to visit. Caryn

We attended as a table of 3 for dinner. Normally when going to eat tapas 2-3 dishes each plenty which it was on this occasion not due to portion size but due to almost every item we choose coming out covered in batter, despite not being obvious on the menu. Out of 10 dishes we only had 3 come out without being fried or battered. The house special of asparagus was recommended and tasted delicious, however the bitter taste when receiving the bill that 4 stems of asparagus cost £11 left a not such a nice finish to the meal. Atmosphere was lovely on a Thursday night and service was very relaxed allowing for a good catch up. Would I go again, probably not with the range of other tapas places in MK and Northampton being more flavoursome and less greasy. But it was very nice to see another independent starting up in Wolverton

Loved the varied menu selection . Food was cooked fresh to order and tasted fabulous . A relaxing and friendly atmosphere with some lovely cocktails too. Highly recommend.

The BEST tapas I have had outside Spain in a very long time! Everything we had was delicious, especially the pork cheek special! Hot, tasty and plentiful! We shall definitely be returning to this wonderful little gem.

This is an excellent and authentic Spanish restaurant. The service is impeccable, the food is incredible and the value is immeasurable. I must mention two of the finest restaurant employees and the reasons I am compelled to write this review; Foxy and B. B was very knowledgeable about the food served, the history of the restaurant and even explained the philosophy behind the Ole Tapas cuisine. Foxy showed great knowledge of the rum served. From its place of birth to the finer notes observed on the discerning pallet; a true connoisseur. Of course I recognise the other members of staff who prepare and cook the food and maintain the restaurant. I cannot name them individually, but whilst there I noticed the preparation of a huge piece of meat which was explained to be a pork belly being readied for a long slow cook. Suffice it to say, I will be returning with my family again.

Delicious food. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had a fantastic meal and evening and can’t wait to come back!! (Sorry for lack of photos. Too distracted by the food!)

What a wonderful experience. Every member of staff gave us a smile and warm welcome. Food was incredible especially the Calamari. We can’t wait to go back.

This is the go to authentic tapas place in MK. There is great variety and our kids love eating here. The staff are uber friendly and the food is delicious. It's one of our favourite places to eat out.

Simply a magnificent place. Excellent meal. Flavors really well achieved. The best work team. (Cooks, waiters, runners, owners). I have felt at home. 1000% recommended.

I have been speaking to Juan for a couple of weeks about food for my partners birthday. He kept me informed at all times. I picked up the food and it was well presented and packaged well for me to take to home for the party. Everyone loved the food. I have to say it was delicious. I've dined in a few times as well and can't wait to go back. Thank you so much Juan for all your hard work.

I don’t think we have had good service on any occasion, the staff always seem abrupt and rude. We have tried 3 times now. This week was by far the worst visit we have had. The waitress was so miserable and rude. The service was really slow and we ended up not having the last 2 dishes as it was so slow. 40 minutes between the first few dishes arriving and when we finally gave up and asked for our bill. When we did ask the waitress blamed us for not booking in advance! Then she said they were short staffed and busy, had she explained this at the start of the meal we could have chosen to eat elsewhere or accepted there would be a delay but blaming the customers for not booking in advance was really something else. Definitely won’t be returning for a 4th time and would not recommend. The food was okay, not amazing.

Excellent restaurant great food and good service and special dishes available not on the main menu loved everything we ordered

What a little gem of a place went for anniversary meal food was outstanding service was great and it was packed defo worth a visit

Excellent menu, friendly staff, lots of choice and superb food. Nicely busy for a Tuesday lunchtime which speaks volumes. Parking around the corner as per picture on the website.

I have spent most of my life visiting Spain regularly and this is honestly as close to authentic you can get. The food was phenomenal and reminded me of the tapas I know and love. The staff also made the experience that much better, a...

We visited Ole for my birthday celebration on a quiet Thursday night. The food was absolutely stupendous, everything was beyond delicious even down to the dipping sauces with the patatas bravas. Service also second to none, our waiter had great recommendations, was friendly and welcoming,...

I had never been before and visited last night with friends who had recommended it. Every dish that we had was excellent - flavours were amazing. Wine very good too. Will definitely be going back soon.

We had already pre ordered 2 paellas and were disappointed that they arrived with our first course tapas. Tapas almost all of the fried variety and paellas coldish by time we ate. Also not v tasty and chicken one not very authentic as made just...

A true authentic Spanish tapas restaurant. Service was excellent and the food was INCREDIBLE ! Price was so affordable and Reasonable. I can not wait to return. It’s my new dinner spot.

Hidden gem of a resturaunt with beautiful quality food and amazing cocktails enhanced to another level by staff that made you feel they were enjoying the night as much as we were! Foxy's passion for his art of cocktail making was brought to life with...

Really tasty Tapas, with a lovely atmosphere. Definitely worth seeking out. Bartender popped by and had a nice chat to tell us about his Sangria recipe.

We have eaten at Ole Tapas Bar many times and the food is always at a very high standard. Our most recent visit was very much enhanced by Foxy the mixologist. His front of house style is charming, his knowledge impressive but it is worth...

Me and my boyfriend love food, and to try different food, textures and techniques of preparation, from different cultures and countries all over the world 😋 . We were apprehensive on the beginning but we were not disappointed. In fact, we were amazed by delicious...

We came here on a Tuesday for my Wife's Birthday. We ordered 5 tapas and a bottle of Gran Fabian Albarino. As usual the food was well presented and well cooked. The octopus was particularly good. I know that tapas is essentially simple snack food,...

Will definitely return, had 6 tapas between us which was enough, highly recommend the artichokes. Everything we had was nice, good atmosphere as well. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Decided to go for anniversary meal, last minute booking. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Atmosphere was lovely, food and service was amazing would truly recommend. Will be going back soon.

Upon hearing so many good reviews, I decided to go. The food was unremarkable at best. The point of tapas is to eat a selection at one time. The patatas bravas were brought out first. We waited for the remaining 4 dishes. They didn’t appear....

Cold food No condiments Not a big selection of alcohol Waiters deaf didn’t respond to request ….. ok if I like fired food .. no healthy options!!!! Would I return NO

Had lunch here today for the first time and we will be back - lovely food, pleasant atmosphere and staff who go the extra mile. We finished with a glass of Manzana Verde which we love and which made my day! This place is MK's...

Every visit to Olè is excellent but this one was incredible, The Tapas are amongst the best we’ve had including some of the best Pintxos bars in San Sebastián and the top ones in London with Michelin stars. The service is always top notch and...

Wonderful Tapas meal in this hidden gem of a restaurant in Wolverton. The food was first class and the service was exceptional, highly recommend

Top quality food. They only serve the best. Very friendly and accommodating staff, excellent service. Hands down the best restaurant in MK. One of the top in U.K.

As a coeliac, being able to eat 75% of a tapas menu, including deep fried items, was lovely! Only suggestion is to extend the gf hospitability to include gf beers! Also, interiors could be more cosy to reflect the tapas bars of Spain. Staff friendly...

Have always loved taps but not found a really good one locally.Found this one just 15 miles away and what a find!! Great welcome and good atmosphere. The food and service was first class and will certainly be going back

Visited here for the first time today with my mum after hearing SO many good things. It was perfect from start to finish. Quick,attentive and friendly service and the food was incredible, great variety and flavours. Overall can’t wait to go again!

Just had a fabulous meal - highly recommend Great service, good value and authentic independent restaurant

Just stopped by quickly for a quick snack with my friends. Service and food was amazing, as usual.We will be back very soon.

Went to Olé as a birthday party of of ten. The reviews are superb. What could go wrong? Well a miserable selection of largely tasteless food is what we got. No-one bothered asking why we didn’t eat the patatas bravas, but we would have said...

Last minute Saturday lunch plan... we arrived early with no booking. It soon became clear that we were lucky to get a table as the place had filled up soon afterwards. Great tapas selection, good portions and well cooked. Service was good and friendly. Good...

I was so delighted to have had my party at Ole Tapas. I think this is an outstanding restaurant, totally unique and especially good for vegetarian and vegan because of the format of Tapas where you construct your own menu. The team coped magnificently with...

We visited Ole cafe with our son and his girlfriend. They live Milton Keynes but had not visited the cafe before so was a new experience for all. We have also lived in Spain and our expectations were fairly high having also read the reviews!...

Had a lunchtime meal today and was overwhelmed by the experience. The staff were exceptional, always ready to help and constantly smiling. Menu was very good and we decided on three tapas each. We were originally going to choose four each but glad the waitress...

great customer service and amazing food, prices are good as well. we've spent £97 for 4 people, no one go out hungry and we had drinks in it as well

Superb authentic Spanish tapas and wine to match. From food to service everything was perfect. Such a different feel from the chain restaurants that are everywhere in MK. We need more independent places like Ole Tapas bar. I will certainly be back over and over...

Was in Milton Keynes for UK strongest man competition and found this place on trip advisor. Authentic Spanish tapas, great service and comfortable seating. The only disappointment was they had run out of the Morcilla de Burgos, one of our favourites. But the Pulpo, baby...

Visited Ole 17.05.22 as part of the birthday celebrations for my daughter. What a delight! The staff were so accommodating and helpful. I'm finding it really hard to say how delicious the food was. It was our first time here and we tried a real...

Just back from another fabulous meal at Ole in Wolverton. They aren’t just great at tapas, both staff and atmosphere are a real delight. So why only 4 stars? Well, it seems management insists waitresses continue to wear masks and this is dangerous. Research shows...

My wife’s son who lives in the village booked a table here when we visited. It is situated in part of the old railway buildings and though small inside is very well made out. The choices of food, especially the meat and seafood platters were...

We visited back on New Year’s Eve, our original plans had been scuppered as most of our family had contracted Covid. Despite this, we thankfully had a truly fantastic evening! The restaurant is fairly intimate, with a lovely open bar/kitchen. The menu is incredibly broad,...

Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. Have been a few times over the years and every visit has been 5 stars. Authentic Spanish food that is as good as any I've tasted in Spain itself.

We went here recently with friends before a trip to Chile. It was nice to be able to practice a little Spanish with the staff. The food was superbly presented, being inovative yet still true to it's origins. The staff were both friendly and informative....

We had a fantastic experience here from start to finish. Booking a table was straightforward through their website. Two days before dining, even got a reminder about our reservation. The restaurant is situated in an interesting place, near the canal. The parking is free just...

I first visited this place in 2019 with my Dad and every time I go it's brilliant. The food is amazing and you can tell the effort and care the chefs put in. There has always been so much option for me despite not being...

Lovely little place, nice atmosphere, engaging and attentive staff. Most importantly the food was AMAZING! Last time I had food that tasty it was Michelin Star ⭐️ Would highly recommend.

My boyfriend had Coviid, so we couldn't celebrate. But today we're here for lunch and it was amazing. We literally live across from the restaurant and try and go there when we can. Service fro our waitress "Bea" was acceptional, Juan the owner was attentive,...

Well what a hidden gem and so glad it is. The place cools some of the best tapas I have ever eaten, and I have eaten a lot of tapas. Just excellent

We visited Bletchley Park during the day and stayed in Milton Keynes overnight and this restaurant was our choice after reading the reviews. Fantastic news, it did not disappoint! The food was freshly cooked and although you had to wait for the odd dish while...

A great selection of tapas dishes served when they had been prepared. Don’t be tempted to order all in one go at the start, as each dish (even though this is tapas) is quite filling. The food was fresh, hot out of the kitchen and...

I suggested that my partner and I go here for my birthday dinner, as I’d heard many good reviews about this place. But, it was such a disappointment. The food was okay, really nothing special, and the service was even worse. We really didn’t felt...

Great food, great drinks and great service, what more can I say. Really authentic gorgeous Tapas, far above the usual anglicised tapas in most pretend Spanish restaurants in UK. Third time here and working our way through the menu, haven’t been disappointed with anything so...

Delicious authentic Tapas. Great service from start to finish. First visit and will definitely return, can't wait 😊 🥰

Another amazing meal. Absolutely love this place. Lovely service, amazing food and flavours. So glad to see it full on a Friday night! The goats cheese poppers were delightful as was the ox cheek with potatoe puree....I mean it was all amazing :)

I went to this restaurant with a group of friends and, we were very impressed. The food is very good. All fresh, none of that frozen brought in stuff. The service was very good too. Very friendly people.

Visited this restaurant for the first time today. Superb quality of food, good portions and genuine tapas. Good service, very friendly and nice ambience. Good distance between tables. Will definitely return.

The service was really good as they greeted and smiled us nicely, the atmosphere was excellent with the nice decorations around the restaurant and all the food we got were really yummy and fulfilling.

I think that the dishes were very nice and filling. The staff were amazing and polite and were easy to talk to. The churros were very good and i enjoyed them a lot on top of the yummy paella and the dishes upon dishes of...

When I went there, I loved the food, the atmosphere and the service. My favourite dishes were the paella, the croquettes and the churros - would definitely recommend trying out those. The atmosphere was very welcoming and warm and the service was perfect, no issues...

Called in here for lunch at 12.30 nice & empty with one other table. could have been a little warmer. We were shown to our table & then left for 10 to 15 minutes instead of asking if we wanted a drink, the waitress took...

Such a great find! Absolutely lovely restaurant. The food was amazing and such great value and the staff were super friendly. Such a great afternoon - thank you so much.

After looking at the local reviews on Ole, we decided to give it a go. This lovely restaurant tucked away in a quiet corner of Milton Keynes. We went for a mid week meal for four, and the restaurant was busy but not full. We...

Amazing ! The food, the owners, the amazing drinks. We loved it all. Personal the starters, every one of them, for me, where totally lovely. Thank you
