Olé Olé Tapas Bar & Restaurant in Lincoln

Absolutely disgusted at the way my mum and sister was spoken to!! After booking this venue for mums 80th well in advance for a large group to celebrate, they went in to pre pay for drinks and some food to be told 'can't do that it's too messy' surely this would of helped?? And then to say the menu has all gone up and continued to be extremely unprofessional and rude! This upset my mum and sister and ruined our plans!! Luckily we have got in elsewhere so will enjoy her 80th and give our custom to a more friendly accommodating company!!!

Our favourite place to eat, amazing service and food

Enjoyed the night, staff efficient and friendly, and humoured my attempts at Espanol 😅. Party of 4, and we opted for the set menu, thinking it was better value, but in hindsight, I'm not sure. Food great 👍 Estofado a bit bland, but rest were tasty. Selected mid range wine at £28. It was a 14% Rioja, very nice. De primero could have more portions as their were 4 of us, but tasty. The vibe was great, and the restaurant was buzzing. Total bill was circa £180+ for sharing Tapas, drinks and we tipped well. Overall, when back in Lincoln, would revisit. Recommended.

Amazing from start to finish. Out of this world

From the second you walk in you feel welcomed into a bustling (But not oppressively loud) family atmosphere. All of the staff are fantastic. The food is superb too, with all dishes incredibly tasty. Portions are great and the staff are on hand to guide you ordering. Highly recommended.

Popped in without a booking for an early evening meal, whilst wandering around the city during our short stay. They were able to accommodate us despite a very busy booking diary. Fabulous food and great choice, we went for one of the set menus and there was loads of food. Really enjoyed it. Given how popular the place is on an evening and how small the place is, we'd say it's perhaps time to look for bigger premises as I'm sure they'd fill a bigger restaurant.👍

Great food but not a great dining experience as service is extremely rushed and it feels like they want you out the door to get the next customer in!

Fabulous! We booked online on the day. Great service from this family run restaurant. Good portions on the small plates we had 4 between 2 of us which was plenty and left room for a desert! I recommend the Sangria, but the house wine was good too. I highly recommend this place.

Faultless from start to finish, exquisite food with lovely friendly and efficient staff. Great atmosphere and in a lovely setting too. We had the lunchtime special with 8 different tapas to share between 4 of us and it was just superb.

Great food, hot. Well presented, ample ! Gluten Free options clearly marked. Good value

If you want a slice of Spanish cuisine, culture and welcoming hospitality this is the place to be. Great decor, inspired by Lanzarote art and the work of Caesar Manrique. Great vibes, lovely staff and service with delicious tapas portions. We ate sea bass, prawns, dates with bacon And an amazing tortilla, soft and fluffy, utterly delicious!!! Teamed with Spanish wines, sherry and a complimentary caramel vodka. This was a great restaurant experience. Chat to the head honcho about all his favourite places. He is super knowledgeable. We left feeling like friend! Will definitely return!

What a fantastic Spanish restaurant. Great food and super friendly service. Definitely enjoyed the wine too

Lovely food, lovely staff and great atmosphere

Brilliant service brilliant food comfortable venue staff most helpful with a smile and good attitude to customers. My first time going grandsons treat for my 70th birthday a lovely lovely treat at a brilliant place. Will be returning soon.

Wow and well done! It was by far the best Spanish food we had in years in the UK. Normally you fly out to Spain and have such a good food experience, but not this was a big surprise and a very yummy one!

A beautiful meal and atmosphere como siempre here. A fantastic birthday treat in one of my favourite places with my favourite food! Authentic and tasty! The sangria is phenomenal too by the way 🍷 And thanks for my free bottle opener aswell! 🎉

Amazing food, friendly and fast service. Restaurant is bright and clean but can be quite noisy when it’s fully booked.

We have been here a number of times now and this restaurant never disappoints. Lovely food, great atmosphere and excellent service. The complimentary caramel vodka shot at the end of the meal is a nice touch. It's not the cheapest of places but I can highly recommend it.

felt so looked after! lovely cosy atmosphere, good service, varied menu, and personal touches. best tapas i’ve had in a while..

Fabulous food and incredibly attentive servers - they were awesome, seemed to never stop! Loved our time here and our meal. Will absolutely be back!!!

What an incredible place to eat! The vegan menu is insane!! So delicious! And the staff are so wonderful!

Excellent value Tapas restaurant, first visit, busy on arrival which is always a good sign. Decent choice of food and portion sizes are bigger than we are accustomed to. Prices are very reasonable and we wouldn’t hesitate in visiting again.

First time here ,excellent food great service lots of choice can't wait to go back and try some new tapas

Ole Ole was one of the few places open in Lincoln on the Monday of our 3 night stay. We were glad it was. Atmosphere is good and the Tapas were great. The portion sizes were slightly larger than at our favourite Tapas restaurant at home in Shrewsbury so we over reached ourselves slightly having bread beforehand and then 3 Tapas each. However, it was all wonderful. Definitely recommend it to anyone.

If you are Gluten Free you are in for a treat! The menu is 90% GF and the food is excellent! I hadn’t been before and everything that was recommended was incredibly tasty and full of flavour. Excellent service, very friendly happy staff and overall great atmosphere to enjoy yourself with friends 🤩 can’t wait to return 🤩

Tastiest tapas in Lincoln. Best restaurant in Lincoln. Tried a couple of the specials as well (chorizo croquettes and a potato, egg and cured meat dish) and they were scrumptious!

Outstanding food great service, faultless.

Brilliant food, friendly and very quick service even on their busiest nights. ¡Me encanta!

Great tapas and very good service. Was very busy on Friday at 5pm but service was very quick and staff friendly. Food was delicious, highly recommend to book

Wonderful food, great service and big portions reasonable prices!

The food was so good I didn't take photos until after we'd finished everything.... Would really recommend the calamari, Andalusian fried fish (kind of like subtly spiced/smoky fish and chips style fish with light batter), the little chorizo and garlic prawns. The cafe bonbon with condensed milk is also a very nice dessert drink. I would definitely visit again next time I'm in the area. Prices also very reasonable around £40pp including alcoholic drinks, sharing board and all those tapas and dessert! Atmosphere is also relaxed but you can still dress up if you want to make a date night of it.

What a place !!! The service is amazing but the FOOD is incredible 😲 if you ever come to Lincoln like we did on a little break you have to come here! best tapas I've ever eaten. If we are ever in Lincoln again, this will be on our list. Please expand over in Manchester ♡

Was recommended by a friend and so glad we went here. It was amazing, very welcoming and friendly staff, quick service and the food was amazing. With good portions. Will be going back on my next trip to Lincoln.

Honest to god the first good food since I live in England. Such a taste , the staff extremely friendly and nice. I think that is just amazing place to eat. We actually used the meal for two options and the price at the end was great as well , managed to taste 8 meals but to be honest I would just do with the bread from the starters just out of this world 🌎🌎🌎🌎

This is the second time we have been here the first time on a Friday evening, amazing food and a brilliant atmosphere. This time we went on a Sunday afternoon this time the food was not as good as before which is a shame but we were one of that last bookings of the day and the kitchen closed half hour after we arrived so maybe the cooking staff were eager to go home and this is understandable.service was brilliant as with many establishments the atmosphere wasn't as vibrant as a Friday evening but still ok

What a great restaurant. This is my second time here first was in the summer and now a valentine's meal in February. Both equally as tasty! Loved the fact the owner was digging in and part of the team, speaking calmly and respectfully to his staff and chatting with the customers. Service was rapid and with a smile and it was obvious that this place was so popular. Food...well it was stunning. Had a slightly smaller menu due to the day but it didn't matter, the food was to die for. Even had a rose given to all ladies on the night which I thought was a lovely touch 🌹😍 Will be coming back again! Thank you 🥰

Top service and such a great choice of dishes each cooked perfectly!

Fabulous food! Great service! Really kind and attentive staff. Friendly and warm atmosphere. Very good price as well! Already planned our second visit to go back but with our daughter next time 😊

Me and my wife went on valentine's day 2025. Very nice and friendly team. Food is absolutely amazing. Priced very fairly. I very much recommend this place for people who love flavour. Could not fault any part of our experience. Thank you Ole Ole team.

Very good food, nice boss, wonderful food, I highly recommend it and I will definitely go back there

Excellent service tonight cannot believe how busy the restaurant was on a Monday night . Such a wonderful experience and atmosphere food excellent too . Thank you ole ole

Food was outstanding, family runned business and you could feel the love and passion they had. I've never been a tapas fan, but this place is phenomenal

Wow just wow if you not tried this place you still live under a rock this place wow words can't describe food is absolutely out this world you have to try it my first time here ill be coming again see you all soon

Ole Ole is so good it has become our go-to restaurant to eat out.

One of our favourite places to eat when in Lincoln. The service is great, the food is wonderful and we always leave feeling very full. If you love tapas then Olé Olé is a must visit.

Amazing food and great service!

Thank you for hosting our Lincoln works party on Friday 31.1.2025. The service and food was amazing and the whole team enjoyed the experience- thank you Red Recruitmemt 24:7

Extremely busy but managed to squeeze us in. I cannot fault anything, amazing food, fabulous staff and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Get food and really lovely service!

Impromptu visit for lunch. Wow fantastic food, service and atmosphere-very relaxed. Highly recommended 😃

Really nice food and hardly any waiting around for it either. Great value for money so whats stopping you from trying it? Go on, treat yourself.

Outstanding food as always. The staff are of the same quality as the food. Warm and welcoming. If you have never been you are missing out

Very nice and friendly service. The food was very good and tasted like in Spain. The interior design also added to the nice atmosphere. My boyfriend and I eat at many different restaurants and we were not disappointed this time either. I highly recommend this place!

Highly recommend Olé Olé Tapas. The staff are amazing and the owners are very welcoming and helpful. The food was amazing and waiting time wasn't long. Restaurant wasn't too crowded as well and the atmosphere is great for large groups.

Our second visit here in 2 months this time we had lunch rather than dinner. Nevertheless the food and service was commendable as per our previous visit last year. Tapas choice is excellent and we are trying new dishes on every visit! Good selection of wine too, and sherries are a nice addition. The manager also allowed me to sample some before making my choice - nice touch! Just need to add a not too sweet and not too dry sherry to the list please

Have been here twice already and booked in again to go back in. First visit was December and the whole place was packed..so busy..bit the atmosphere was brilliant. The service was so quick and slick! Excellent choice of small plates and wine. Food is served almost immediately. I've always booked but I'm told they never turn anyone away. You may have to wait, but you won't be waiting long.

Disappointed, extremely poor service, seated in bar area and told we could have drinks and order food, given menus and over 1.5hours later no one had even asked or even made an attempt to come and take an order. Ended up paying for the drink and walking out, could have quite happily walked out. Certainly wouldn’t recommend, and probably won’t go back, at least be honest with customers don’t seat people if you can’t serve them

Superb food and service for a reasonable price. We will certainly be revisiting Olé Olé next time we are in Lincoln.

This is a fantastic place to eat, the food is amazing and the service is spot on. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavours were on point. I will definitely be going again.

A large and very busy tapas bar. Service was speedy, friendly and efficient. The excellent dishes arrived quickly. Would recommend a visit.

As always amazing food and service and go to when we head into town, recommended booking though 👌

Beautiful food, everything we ordered was delicious.

We arrived on a Saturday night, quite early but without a booking. The welcoming staff managed to seat us in the bar area as the place was full, which is a good sign! We actually loved our table and didn't miss being in the restaurant. The food was delicious, we ordered 7 tapas and we were stuffed and very happy! Best Spanish food I've tried in the UK, will definitely visit again when we're in Lincoln next 🥰

Great warm welcome, super food and friendly vibes. Super service too.

I absolutely love this place. For me, it is the best Spanish restaurant in the UK, trust me, I am spanish myself 😊

Sensational food, everything we ordered was just fantastic. Great service and setting too. 10/10!

Had small issue with food which was sorted immediately. Food and service perfect

Great service, lovely food, Xmas doo catered to perfectly. highly recommend.

I booked a table for 2 for our 1st wedding anniversary which at the point of booking there is an option to tick for a special occasion. This was pretty pointless as it turns out that it made no difference to our experience, with no mention from the staff of it being a special occasion. The food was good, albeit a little dry and salty for some of the dishes. The service was prompt and friendly. The atmosphere was unfortunately a little too noisy for my liking and any chance of a romantic anniversary meal soon disappeared. All in all we would visit again but not for a special occasion.

Lovely restaurant, amazing staff

Great food, manager and staff really helpful.

Great place, food is really nice. Highly recommend.

Arrived 5 minutes before being booking time, no one to acknowledge we had arrived and then stood 20 minutes without being asked if we wanted a drink or anything. Eventually sat down, asked for some water three times, ( wine arrived but no water ) before getting up and going back to front desk to ask. Food was ok, fish was incredible, pork was tough, meatballs delicious and chicken also good. Was told they would sort us out with the bill, they didn’t and only got bill after asking twice again!! Great potential but service is shocking. Some beautiful restaurants around so could do much better.

Whenever we come to Lincoln we make a point of coming here. The food is absolutely delicious and always reminds of wonderful meals in Spain. The restaurant and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming.

We love the concept of Tapas but often let down by the process adopted by English establishments. However... We grazed our way through an assortment of dishes throughout the evening in a buzzy atmosphere. Very relaxing and enjoyable. The service was excellent and one of the family owners made sure we were well looked after thoughout the evening. it's a shame we were just visiting Lincoln and not a resident - this would certainly be our go to restaurant. We've now got a good excuse for another visit to Lincoln.

Fabulous place.. managed a late minute booking on a Friday evening..and was certainly not disappointed from the moment we stepped foot in the place..a Lovely location..all staff were excellent..food was fantastic.. and prices were great..Its probably best Tapas I've had ..

Fantastic tapas bar highly recommend it

we enjoyed the very energetic and friendly service there and the food was amazing too ,small portions but the taste was amazing ,we definitely come back

Great food and great location (opposite the Castle). There is parking onsite, but limited. We went for a family thing, staff were perfect. I dearly hope with the current budget changes you can stay open.

Fabulous food, atmosphere and staff. Highly recommended thanks.

Exceptional food, service and venue. Each dish was 10/10, staff were brilliant and the vibe is great. Definitely recommend.

Best place in Lincoln for food, authentic Spanish food is absolutely faultless, we regularly come here and bring family for special occasions! 5*

Had a lovely evening, my daughter treated me for my 51st birthday. Although when attending the ladies listening to 3 women snorting coke...wow...bought u to staff attention...to be told sorry we asked them to leave earlier..OK fair enough...but then to leave later and find the same staff in the back with these drug addicts...wow.....whoever owns this....take a look what's going on here....lovely place but wow

An excellent evening with a friend. Very busy & buzzy, lively atmosphere. Excellent range of dishes, mostly served fresh & quick - just a small criticism that there was a wait between some of the dishes being brought out, but nothing that spoiled our enjoyment. It was my friend's first visit & I don't think it will be her last! Excellent service too - all the staff who served us were confident, friendly & efficient.

Absolutely fabulous food!! Well worth a visit.

So much food! Set menu is great if you are dining in a group. You can order 6 tapas from the menu and 1 side dish. Appetizer is Jamon with cheese and bread. Everything is so good and tasty.

Tapas is our favourite way to eat. It's our go to whenever in Spain and we've had the opportunity to eat variations of it all over the world. This place is probably the best experience we've had. From the welcoming front of house team to the exceptional food, the whole experience was fantastic. If you're in Lincoln for only one night then this has to be the place, more than one night then you're doing yourself an injustice by not coming here! We also have a daughter who is gluten free and the menu could not have been clearer.

Went on a monday night and it was still packed! The attention the staff gave us was second to none. They even heard that it was my sons birthday and brought a cake with a candle out, all singing. Amazing. My only regret is that I couldn't spend more time there and just graze on every dish on the menu. Just, brilliant. Thank you guys, I'll definitely be back.

Great atmosphere and friendly, welcoming service. I would have given 5🌟 for the food. It was super speedy getting to the table and was quite delicious, but I forgot to ask for no parsley, and it was covered in it…

This place is amazing must visit the staff were amazing very attentive, happy and very helpful mentioned it was my sons birthday even at 21 they brought cake candles and there best singing voices and never charged us and he even got a pressies lovely place extremely clean thanks everyone !! 5 🌟

Incredible food, atmosphere, staff were lovely will be back.

Very busy place. Food and service excellent 👍🍲

Lovely restaurant, food, and staff.

Have been, in the past, and enjoyed it. This last visit was a disappointment and won't be going again.

Such a thrill to find this gem. All of the dishes we ordered, which all happened to be vegan, looked, smelt and tasted amazing. Lincoln was such a beautiful city, eating here was the cherry on top. Bravo!

We went for a birthday and had a fantastic time. Great food, including for vegetarians, super friendly service and atmosphere. Thank you for a great evening. Can wholeheartedly recommend. 5 stars for everything!

Fantastic restaurant. Would definately come back.

Second visit.... Amazing food (again). Table of 4 adults, 12 tapas (and bread and Aioli tbf)... Ample food to go around. 11 different dishes, none were disappointing. I'd list what was particularly nice, but I'd list have to list all 11. OK, if I must. A 'special' of patatas bravas with (I think it was) chorizo and an egg. AMAZING. Was in Barcelona last year and ate tapas more than once and (genuinely) this was nicer / better food. Also: Friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere. Nice sangria too. What more could we ask? Will be back again... Thanks and (FWIW) well done for being an excellent restaurant!!

Group of four. We had the £25/person set menu. Absolutely fabulous

A chilled out place to eat. Great selection of different tapas, however I did find that the dishes were quite salty. I would come back again but would stay away from the pork/beef dishes as they were just so salty. Good atmosphere and friendly staff
