Olé Olé Tapas Bar & Restaurant in Lincoln

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

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.

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

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*

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.

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

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.

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!

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

Fantastic restaurant. Would definately come back.

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!

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

Superb food, service and atmosphere! An absolute gem of a place

Fantastic tapas food here, service was swift and professional. The vodka shot at the end with the bill is a big yes from me !

Superb,friendly staff , knowledgeable about their food,fantastic food too,by the way,will definitely be back

Brilliant food as always. Definitely the place to go in Lincoln for food. Tasty, reliable, everyone is always nice and welcoming. Been coming here for years, never had a bad meal, portion sizes are bigger than they've ever been. Highly highly recommend if you are in the Lincoln area and you're looking for the BEST restaurant in Lincoln and also Lincolnshire.

Absolute beautiful tasty tapas simply the best flavours ive tried. Wonderful staff and service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Beautiful food, friendly staff.

WOW!!!! Excellent food and menu choices... the chorizo and potatoes were excellent. I highly recommend you try this place if you haven't yet.

Drove from Cambridgeshire to meet daughter at Uni, got stuck in traffic, hurried from Uni, stumbled up Steep Hill and 10 mins late for booking. Needed to decompress, so lovely glass of Rose and feasted on the bread. Unfortunately when the food came I wasn't very hungry. What was so lovely was the waitress provided take away boxes so daughter brought what was left back to Uni digs... Parents have lived in Spain for 30 years so accustomed to Tapas and this didn't disappoint.. Daughter is a fussy eater and thoroughly enjoyed the chicken in wine sauce, patatas bravas, and meatballs... I loved the beef stew.. food, staff and atmosphere all wonderful... Muchas Gracias!

Restaurant very busy, always book. Friendly welcome and very efficient service. Food really tasty and good size helpings. Staff all very friendly and happy, enjoyed the evening.

What a super, super restaurant with attentive staff, great atmosphere and brilliant tapas food. Good value and I'm certain to return again for that authentic Spanish night out.

Excellent treatment and good food!

Food and service were amazing. We tried a couple of the specials and were very impressed. The only reason the atmosphere was rated a bit lower is because there were 3 or 4 glasses/dishes smashed while we were there which caused my partner some anxiety. Highly recommend the traditional sangria. Overall a great place to eat, with great staff.

Fantastic place , staff and service good, busy the night I went which added to the atmosphere, been a few times, will recommend to my friends and family.

We went without knowing anything and we were pleasantly surprised by what a good restaurant it is, impeccable service, very friendly and helpful, we come from Spain and we felt at home, the food was excellent and abundant quantities

Absolutely loved this place the other night and will definitely be going again. From the impeccable service to the delicious food. I have nothing but praise for this place.

Fantastic food which is very popular due to it being great. We had a table of five and had the set meal which included bread, olives and ham and cheese which was delicious. We were then served our choice of six large tapas and each was great. The potions were large enough for us not to be tempted with any dessert. Would definitely recommend a visit and we will return when next in Lincoln.

Just had the lunchtime special as always. We travel out of town to come to this tapas restaurant. The food and service is absolutely top class. I thinks it's very reasonable price wise and large portions.. 10 out of 10.

The food is so good. It's really good. Even had to ask if the chef was Spanish because the food was that good. Service was good. Didn't have to wait too long. Good wine selection and tapas selection. It would be nice to have a 3 - or 4-way special option to sort the confusion with the 2-person lunch. Otherwise, all was great.

Brilliant tapas best in lincoln

Went for lunch with friends, 6 people last week. Initial order for drinks and food very quick. Tapas etc arrived quickly and amount and taste of food was excellent. Have been before but sadly the service was disappointing this time. The young woman serving us didn't ask if everything was OK and didn't come back to replenish the drinks. Had the feeling wanted us to finish the meal and go. Would recommend but hopefully the service will improve.

Lovely evening as always, well worth a visit..it's always amazing.

Loved everything about this place

We ate very well, the place was beautiful, located in a spectacular place and after eating we went for a walk. We highlight the attention of the server Santiago, very friendly and committed to ensuring that everything scores 10 points. Totally recommended!!!!

Great food - we had three tapas dishes each (two people)which was probably one too many as the portions are generous. Friendly staff but it’s a large restaurant and they were rushed off their feet, consequently the service was a bit slow. Minor quibble though- I would thoroughly recommend.

Great food and a great experience. My main praise however was the host, he was friendly, helpful and even replaced a dish that wasn't cooked to his standard, free of charge and without me even asking. Really exceptional.

It's amazing if you like the same fried potato cubes with virtually everything, disguised as different dishes with the transparent use of sauce. The chicken goujons were overcooked and dry. The bread was good. We sat at the table for 15 minutes before drinks were ordered. Just over an hour after arriving, the food order was taken. Service was slow.. Food orders were confused. I would love to say that this visit was out of the ordinary, but this was a second visit - neither one by choice and both poor. Fortunately, the company was good - and we had been for an amazing pizza at Gino's at the top of Steep Hill, so did not leave still hungry ...this time.

What a wonderful restaurant! The food was delicious and varied, we enjoyed every bite! The service was exceptional! The host and staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive. I could not ask for more. We would thoroughly recommend others going here. If we lived locally we would return here again and again!

Fantastic and great value for money brilliant and friendly staff Will be returning ☺️

Staff and host were so friendly and wished me a happy birthday. Food came out so quick and it was delicious. If we lived locally and weren’t on holiday, we would be regulars!

One of the best tapas bars in the UK

A group of friends meet here once a year. The staff (including the owner) remembered us and treated us like family. The food was excellent and the service was fast and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble.

Wow, our new favourite place. Amazing to be transported to Spain for a couple of hours. Service amazing, vibes and buzz amazing, sangria and cocktails amazing and the best Tapas anywhere! Definitely recommend and will be back soon. Best to book through OpenTable as gets busy. Thank you Ole Ole for a memorable Tuesday evening.

After spending the day visiting Lincoln cathedral and castle with the family, asked a local for a recommendation for somewhere good to eat. The lady in question was very helpful and kind by taking us to Ole'Ole, which was a short distance away. Let me just say the service was excellent, the staff were polite and helpful, but the food was on a different level, if I could give a score more than 5, I would. Every dish was exceptional, and we ordered a lot. Two of many, which particularly stood out, were the Estofado and the Coliflor al Horno. The dessert and coffee are great too. If you're ever in Lincoln, visit Ole'Ole'

Great food and large portions. Highly recommend this place for food.

Charming staff and super food. Highly recommended.

It's a big, cozy place, but everything goes smoothly. The staff is nice, the food is delicious. They are great!

This was our first visit and thoroughly enjoyed it. Delicious food in a beautiful restaurant. We will be returning.

AWESOME how have I not been before 🍻 Thank you for a great evening.

Fab food. We hadn’t booked but they got a table. Very busy. Staff attentive. Would return

Gr8 place. Always love coming here. Not cheap, but top quality.

Thank you for last night for a fantastic evening for the wonderful food and fantastic staff . The food was delicious 😋 we had a fantastic night celebrating a hen night 🥂🍾🥂

Family meal for 15 of all ages. Felt most welcome, sat outside. Staff were attentive.

Came in for a meal with my family in a big group a few weeks ago. Fantastic experience from the waitress Georgie. She honestly made our experience so much better! it was very easy to order and the food was good. Its a shame the rest of the staff didn’t seem too impressed to be there but Georgie made us feel very welcome. Hope to be served by her when we come again. :)

Authentic spanish tapas with solid flavours at very reasonable prices. Really attentive and friendly staff. I recommend the Pollo al Ajillo and the Tarta de Queso.

Wonderful welcome. Lunch with friends. Kindness and respect for elderly and disabled. A new dining experience. Reasonable charges so hope to return soon.

Excellent service, quick and efficient. Lovely food, everything we had was delicious. I would recommend this restaurant and would like to return when we’re in the area again.

Cracking restaurant Great staff

Nice place to stop for a few drinks, campervans can stay overnight in the carpark next door.

Amazing service and food. We did the lunchtime deal which was really great value. Will definitely come back!

THE Best Tapas restaurant !! Highly worth a visit !

Lovely place with good food and friendly and efficient service.

Our second time at Olé Olé. Amazing food and atmosphere. Yummy rice pudding.OLÉ! 🤗

Just had the best time. Everything about Olé Olé is just amazing. It was my birthday and all the staff come out and sang Happy Birthday. I was given a branded bottle opener. I absolutely love the caramel vodka shots, so I bought a bottle. If you love Spanish food, you have to eat here. Everything is just brilliant and I recommend it 100%. It’s just the best. Thank you for another great night!

Excellent food and great atmosphere 👍👍

Can’t fault this place. Flawless food, fab service, great atmosphere. Clear to see why it has such a great reputation! Also very clear the management looks after the staff, and the staff seem to be happy working for management. Well done! Everyone is happy.

Would like to say thank you to all the staff, you made my grandson's Harry birthday treat extra special for him today . Thank you so much 😊 xx

Atrocious attitude from the staff/owner.

Great place we keep going back to all the time! Eventing about it is worth 5 stars, the staff are so friendly and the food is delicious!

Best tapas restaurant in the Midlands

Really excellent Tapas. Every dish was lovely. Great atmosphere eating outside with friendly staff.

Absolute perfection, Ben (the owner?) greeted me at the entrance. Helped Me find exactly what I wanted. Superb Mixes platter of cheese and Meat. Staff very attentive. Great vibes.

This place oozes all the fabulousness🤩🥳🌟. Food, Atmosphere, and People here are delicious and beautiful 💫. Would verily merrily eat here every day 🎉.

Absolutely superb. A great varied menu, reasonable prices and excellent service. We went on a Monday evening and at 7pm, not usually a busy time for restaurants but it was very busy and there were customers waiting for tables.

Good tapas restaurant especially if you don't choose the lunch menu. Good padrones, bread and dates with bacon! Feel free to try their own vodka flavored with caramel!

The food and service at Ole Ole was excellent. There is a great selection of tapas on the menu and each dish that we ordered was tasty and portions were generous. Highly recommended.

A delicious taste sensation. Friendly staff, amazing food, including a full menu for Vegans - I recommend the mushrooms 🍄

Brilliant service, atmosphere and delicious food. We ordered the tapas set B, and we were very satisfied.

Main dish = side portion size Service 5/5 Atmosphere 5/5

Fantastic authentic Tapas bar and restaurant, warm, friendly mostly Spanish staff, great menu, lovely food, great find.

Sandra from Spain, excellent waiter
