Came in for lunch on a Saturday, was drawn in straight away as the food smelled great, we did walk a little way down the road to explore our other options first but circled back to Olivares as it looked the nicest.
Sat outside in...the sun, the restaurant is right near what seems to be a popular busking spot so we had some acoustic guitar accompanying the meal which was nice.
It took a little while to get the staff’s attention (always a bit of a danger when seated outside) however once we’d ordered the food arrived really quickly. We had the two dishes for £15 lunch deal which comes with bread and alioli. We ordered the calimares, chorizo vino tinto, patatas con alioli and championes al ajillo. All the food was delicious, especially the chorizo and calimares, and the portion sizes were generous.
Had a bit of a battle getting the staff’s attention again when it came time to ask for the bill and ended up nipping in to pay inside instead so knocked off a star for that, however would still definitely recommend as the food was terrific and we had a great time - will definitely be back next time we’re in Lincoln.More
