About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Lively
Ole Ole Tapas is a family run authentic Spanish tapas bar and restaurant in the heart of the historic city of Lincoln. We are a busy, exciting and vibrant restaurant always trying to bring a slice of Spain to Lincoln through our food and service. Catering for everyone from large families and staff parties to couples and friends looking for something a little different.

Established in the summer of 2013, Ole Ole Tapas was the brainchild of both Amador and Alison bringing their expertise and decades of experience of the catering industry to flourish in their very own tapas restaurant. Originally born in the Canary Island of Lanzarote (where the family originally came from) their daughter and both sons decided to join their family venture and follow in the footsteps of their parents and grandparents. The Ole Ole family is passionate about food and dedicated on delivering exceptional service in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

    Went with a group of 6 for a 40th birthday meal, first time most of us had been there. Great atmosphere and very welcoming staff. Orders were taken swiftly. Food and sangria was excellent and we felt it was pretty good value for money. However, as much as the staff were friendly and attentive at the start, after finishing our food we sat for around 45 minutes at an empty table and no one came over to offer us a second drink or to see if we needed anything else. We tried to get the attention of staff several times but they all seemed too busy, despite there being lots of them. In the end we went to a pub down the road for our second drink. We had to physically wave a waitress over to pay the bill. A bit of a shame considering the evening started so well and most of the group had travelled a long way for the occasion. That said, it wouldn’t put me off giving them another chance.

    A Fantastic First Visit! We had our first experience at Ole Ole Tapas in Lincoln and were thoroughly impressed. From the moment we walked in, the warm and vibrant atmosphere made us feel welcome. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Every dish we tried was full of flavour, beautifully presented, and arrived promptly. The variety on the menu is brilliant, and it’s clear a lot of care goes into both the food and the service. It’s not often that everything hits the mark on a first visit, but Ole Ole truly delivered. We’ll definitely be coming back – highly recommended!

    You genuinely can't go wrong with Ole Ole. The food is consistently delicious, even though we've been going for years we always find new and delicious things to try (the anchovies, amazing) along with the old favourites (dates in bacon, incredible). The service is always friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is relaxed and convivial. Consistency is such a hard thing for restaurants to achieve in the long term but Ole Ole nails it.

    Fantastic atmosphere throughout the evening and a very authentic Spanish feel. Service was brilliant with very pleasant, polite waiting on staff and food was amazing. We were a party of 6 so ordered from the set menu which proved perfect for us all to try various dishes. So much food for us all so was great value for money. Loved our evening here so hope to return soon. Thank you 🇪🇸❤️

    Booked for four, good choice on menu. Arrived early which was no problem, seated promptly. Had to ask again for table water and not sure dessert was what we asked for!
