THE best Spanish/Tapas Restaurant in Lincoln.
Beautiful and authentic with a lovely cosy interior, super friendly helpful staff and absolutely fantastic food: you have to try the prawns and chorizo, the sauce is devine!
If you want a beautiful experience in a great, authentic environment spend your money wisely and go here not the other Tapas place in the Bail!! (Seriously, that place is rubbish!)
Well done Olivares, we love you guys ❤️
We had the pleasure of going here tonight and what a delight it was! Staff were very attentive, food was amazing! The restaurant has lots of character and nice little touches. The croquettes and steak are definitely worth a try! This certainly won't be our last visit!!
Absolutely gorgeous food, so authentic. The waitress was just wonderful, so attentive chatty and obviously very happy in her job! I thoroughly recommend xxx
17 of us went here on Saturday for my daughters hen do. The venue was lovely, staff brilliant, helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Food yummy. Can't wait to try the lunch time menu. Thank you to all!

Second visit and did not disappoint!! Lovely little find last year when our Son started at Lincoln Uni! Authentic cuisine in delightfully ambiente surroundings with attentive staff! Can’t wait to go back!
Celebrated my birthday with my family at Olivares tapas restaurant yesterday. We all enjoyed being welcomed by the friendly staff and the chef prepared delicious cooked tapas as usual. All plates have been finished which says it all.
It's the best Spanish restaurant in Lincoln - therefore we are eat here regularly.
Our first visit. Such a lovely little place. Fabulous food. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return
What a brilliant place this is...lovely staff,excellent food...well worth a night out..
Lovely place, amazing food, and quirky. Can’t find a bad thing to say about it!
Far to much food lol but just means great value for money, food and sangria was delicious �
Great food, friendly staff and a lovely intimate atmosphere - great place for 'date night '
Ate here for the first time, loved every minute of it. The location and ambience was just perfect, the food soooo delicious and the service just fantastic. Thoroughly recommend :-D
What can I say fantastic food , great customer service ,lovely evening with friends the atmosphere is just perfect , wasn't rushed . Highly recommend, will be back soon 😍👍🏻
Authentic Spanish food, drink and atmosphere. Great food and a place for fun.
Beautiful food, authentic Spanish tapas, in a beautiful setting in Lincolns historic Bailgate. Great service and food came fast. Love the little booths and Spanish music adds to the atmosphere.
Excellent food, location, and service.
There was a large variety of vegetarian and meat dishes, and each one we ordered had a unique and tasty flavour. Overall we had 2 breads and 7 tapas for 4 adults, which was sufficient quantity and every single one was loved (and eaten!)
Service was attentive but not intrusive - the perfect balance.
Location is right outside of the castle, with indoor and outdoor seating - very centrally located.
Honestly I wished I had captured more of the good photos - I was just too consumed with the tasty food to remember to snap pics for the later wave of dishes!
Excellent service here. The food was so amazing! Some of the best I've had in a while. Loved the flavours. They even accommodated to a vegan at our table which was very nice. Although the options were small, so an improvement could be to expand their vegan range and label those options on the menu. The wine was also excellent. Loved the vibes and the building. Thank you for a great dinner
I really enjoyed it here. The place looks lovely. It's intimate and atmospheric. The staff are very polite and helpful. The food was plentiful and tasted very nice. The location is perfect and looks great at night with the castle and cathedral on either side. We also spoke to the owner and had a great conversation with him. I love tapas and this great little place did not disappoint. Definitely go eat here and you will leave satisfied. Ten out of ten.
We enjoyed a wonderful meal here on the 18th August 2023. We chose a set menu and the quality of the meal was excellent. The size of the servings were very generous, in fact more than we could manage. The service was excellent, very professional, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was fabulous. We will definitely return. Thank you.
Very cosy and intimate restaurant set over two floors, in a lovely location between the cathedral and the castle.
We went on a Wednesday evening, and the restaurant was relatively busy so it may be advisable to book in advance.
You are given plenty of time to order, with a recommendation of 2-3 tapas per person. Portions are well-sized, and varied. The only reason I haven't given this 5 stars is the time it took for our six servings to come to the table was longer than I would have liked; as also paying £6.50 for a very basic salad is excessive. That said the chorizo in red wine was heavenly, as well as the dates in Serrano ham, and on this basis alone if we revisit Lincoln, I'd have no hesitation in returning here.
Authentic Spanish food. There is a good variety on the menu and all delicious. The decor is lovely and cozy, staff was friendly and helpful, and the toilet was clean. My only gripe is that they don't have any plant base milk for the important coffee after you meal.
Excellent tapas. Such a wide choice on the menu. The service was very friendly and we were made to feel very welcome. The music provided a good atmosphere. Situated between the castle and the cathedral, there is a car park adjacent to the restaurant.
A delightful Tapas restaurant with outside seating locatedin the wide courtyard between Lincoln Castle and the Cathedral. We sat outside and had a lovely meal and a bottle of the house red.
The food is delicious and the service excellent. The whole experience was one of the highlights of our stay in Lincoln.
What a fabulous Tapas restaurant in a beautiful setting between the Castle and the Cathedral. Food was delicious and the house Red was good too! Staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend
First time visitors to this restaurant and definitely won't be the last. The staff were all very friendly (and in these strange times Covid aware) and very accommodating. My partner and I had one of the set menus for two which offered a bit of everything we liked the look of. Every dish was excellent and just the right amount for sharing. The only thing I did wrong was to sit downstairs which was blooming cold whenever the door opened! But that was my fault as the owner gave me the choice when we first went in. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Spanish tapas in a cozy, friendly restaurant (just sit upstairs).
Amazing food, lovely atmosphere!
What a find!!! Food is great the dishes we had were tasty and full of flavourPortion sizes good. Staff friendly and helpful. The ambience was perfect… will definitely come here again!
Great tapas! Better the Ole Ole's. Vibe was good and staff was good. The building is small but I think it fits the atmosphere. Will come again :)
Lovely little place. So cute inside and the food was incredible.
We went for lunch and it was very reasonable, the portions are really big we certainly didn’t leave hungry.
The staff were very friendly.
Highly recommend and will definitely go again.
Whats not to like, had a perfect lunch in gorgeous surroundings and the staff were lovely
