Me and my mates went to this lovely restaurant here on a mega busy Saturday evening, they were packed inside the place but kindly allowed us to sit outside, very friendly staff, food was amazing and the atmosphere was great! Would certainly come back here the next time I visit Brighton :)

We had a lovely meal here and enjoyed the wonderful live Spanish music. The host was warm and very welcoming, the staff were happy and efficient, the food was excellent and there is a very convivial atmosphere in this place. This is a Gem in The Laines and if you are looking for an authentic Spanish experience in Brighton then... More

We spent 3 hours sitting in Ole Ole's on Sunday! We had coffee and Churros then as time went by had tapas and some wine. 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

After finding out La Tasca had closed looked this up and from the reviews seemed rather good. Well I must be the only one who knows what a true tapas is! Even chain restaurant la Tasca offers better value for money and even more choice. The environment made it feel very authentic, however the food could not be more contrast.... 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.

Went for a friends birthday, and loved it so much went back with a large group for mine. Food is amazing, atmosphere brilliant. Can be a bit of a language barrier with staff and it's so small it's very close with a lot of people but that doesn't ruin the night. The live music is fantastic, and booking they've always... More

We pitched up randomly fairly late for a mid week lunch. Despite being almost empty, the place still had a real buzz about it and the waiter was very welcoming. The tapas menu had a good selection, including plenty of veggie options. When the food arrived, it looked amazing and tasted just as good. Our only disappointment is we won't... More

I’ve tried to get into this restaurant many times but it is impossible on a Friday or Saturday without a reservation. Managed to get in last Thursday and found that the food was really nice and the staff very friendly and polite. Later on they also had some great live music – Spanish guitar, cajon and someone singing (sounded like... More
