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!!

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.
