Olé Olé Spanish Tapas
Olé Olé Tapas Bar & Restaurant
A family-run Spanish tapas spot on Union Road, west of the castle. Generous portions at fair prices, and one of Lincoln's most-reviewed restaurants.
Olé Olé is a family-run Spanish tapas restaurant. Business has been strong since it moved to Union Road in the uphill part of town, very close to The Lawn and the castle's west gate, with parking nearby. The rustic interior makes for a lively atmosphere, though it gets noisy when busy. Popular picks include bacon-wrapped dates with almonds, slow-cooked lentils with chorizo and ham, and chicken and seafood paella. There is a wide choice for vegetarians and those avoiding gluten. Tapas portions are large, so two or three per person is plenty. The lunchtime set offers a bread basket plus four tapas. Some reviewers find the wine pricey and a few dishes a little salty. Book ahead at weekends.
