Reheated, desperate food that tried to drown itself in olive oil in shame. One other table occupied when we were there. The absentees were the lucky ones.

There was a whole Spanish family sitting around a table eating together which made the atmosphere really warming in there. Having lived in Spain previously for many years, this felt like we were back there... More

After numerous visits to Ole Ole I have finally gotten around to writing a review. The food is excellent - the deep fried brie and stuffed roasted peppers are particular favourites but everything is delicious! The Sangria is also rather tasty. Staff are very friendly and the atmosphere, especially on evenings with the live flamenco is brilliant. We have taken... More

We were looking for a quick tapas meal on a Friday afternoon and stumbled across Ole Ole. The service and food were excellent, all the waiters were Spanish and the restaurant had a very authentic vibe.
