We came a couple from Spain and we can assure that this is a true Spanish restaurant. Impeccable service and awesome food. To Highlight "Txangurro", "croquetas" and as could not be otherwise "jamón". 100% recommendable!

We were there to celebrate a birthday. The tomato toast was alright, the bread was too dry and theres not enough tomato sauce to spread over all the slices so it was a letdown. The shrimp with garlic was average, flavourful but doesnt taste fresh. It was also overpriced as the portion was small. The paella however was the worst. It tastes quite bland and the scorched rice at the bottom was so burnt that it smelled awful and we didnt finish it(though we were reassured by the staff members that it was the best part). But the atmosphere and the live music was great.

Lunch sets are available, love their cold vegetable soup and salad, very refreshing. Mains are okay, seafood on paella is a bit overcooked. Very accommodating staff, seatings are a bit tight but in general a pretty good experience.

The ham had rich nutty essence perfectly balanced by the bright tangy tomato bread, creating an interplay of savoury and acidic notes. 𝙊𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙯𝙯𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙜𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙘 𝙨𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙨 (7.5/10) It arrives dramatically, oil still boiling hot with aromatic garlic that tantalizes the senses. 𝘽𝙖𝙨𝙦𝙪𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙗 “𝙏𝙭𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙤” (7.5/10) It exemplified coastal Spanish cuisine - delicately extracted, sweet, and generously portioned.

However, the dish was slightly hindered by an overpowering saltiness that obscured the rice's delicate flavors and marine nuances. - 𝙳𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚝- 𝘾𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙬/ 𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙗é (7.5/10) The dessert, flambéed tableside with orange liquer, boasted a silky-smooth texture.

Olé Spanish Restaurant in Hong Kong delivers an extraordinary dining experience without a doubt. The food is absolutely top-notch, and the service is spot on. Every dish we tried was full of authentic Spanish flavour and beautifully presented. The tapas selection, garlic prawns and lamb chops, in particular, was a highlight — fresh, vibrant, and perfectly seasoned. What truly made our evening special was the service. The staff were friendly, professional, and very attentive to every detail. A heartfelt thank you to Billy, whose warmth, hospitality, and expert recommendations turned a great meal into a truly memorable evening. Get chance to meet Mr. Carmelo Lopez who is with Ole since it was opened in 1998. If you’re looking for fantastic Spanish cuisine in Hong Kong, Olé Spanish Restaurant is definitely a place to visit. Highly recommended!

Went there with my mom for my birthday. The octopus with the potato under was very tender and loved the sauce in between as well. The garlic shrimps were so fresh! The shrimps were actually very big, which I would call them prawns! Ordered the cod as our main. The fish just melted in my mouth because it was so buttery. But the sauce underneath was a bit too rich for me. Enjoyed the live music a lot as I could picked my own songs! My mom enjoyed the entertainment very much too! And all the restaurant staff were very friendly and attentive, especially the manager. He even helped my mom walked down the steps, plus he only left after sending me and my mom in the cab. He held my mom by her arm the whole way through as my mom had some difficulties in walking. Again, thank you very much for such an enjoyable evening, the Ole Team!

This Hong Kong Spanish restaurant is truly the best in town. One of my favorite dining spots. Each dish suits my palate perfectly, with rich flavors that never feel overwhelming. The service is also a perfect , the staff are so friendly and attentive. The ambience is lovely too, with the restaurant offering two distinct seating areas. The table by the door feels quite different from the interior, both in terms of lighting and atmosphere. And they even have live music performances. The $498 weekend brunch menu seems to change with the seasons, and the dishes I had were from the winter menu in March, so it may have changed by now. Standout items included the octopus, spider crab toast, garlic prawns, seafood paella, and almond cake with ice cream.
