Casa Ole

Casa Olé is a slice of classic Spain… on Paisley Road West. The greeting is incredibly warm and friendly and is bettered only by the quality of the food. All the traditional tapas are here and all very, very good. If I were to single one out I would have to recommend the Morcilla (Spanish black pudding) which was totally amazing!
Greeted by the sound of flamenco guitar as you enter, your senses are transported to a cosy cantina off the traditional tourist beat on the Iberian peninsular. Casa Olé simply oozes Spanish ambiance. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable about the food and went the extra mile in making sure we had everything we wanted, exceptional good service. As part of a large group there was good opportunity to sample a wide variety of the dishes on offer and none of them fell short of the mark.
A great evening and delicious food, all in all highly recommended. There are offers on the website for both lunchtime and evening dining so its very good value as well at just under £10 for 3 tapas and desert or coffee.

To my absolute delight this little tapas restaurant popped up on paisley road west just in time for my birthday! Do not be put off my the exterior (Casa Olé is above a chippy called Sammies) this place is gorgeous!
We had booked a table of 9 for my birthday feast and it was nice that the table was ready for us as soon as we arrived, there was only a few other people inside but it was a rainy Wednesday night. The waitress took our coats which was nice too! Once the rest of our party had arrived we ordered some drinks and had a chat about what we fancied ordering — the good thing about a big party was the fact we had loads to try! We were served by a gentleman for most of the evening who I think was the owner and he could not have been any nicer, very chatty, knowledgeable, helped us in anyway he could and he checked back often to make sure everything was perfect.
Our tapas dishes arrived a short while later to a chorus of oo’s, aah’s and what is that?!‘s and we were not disappointed everything I tried was delicious but my favourites where the Chirizo, Gambas Gabardinas, morcilla and pinchos de atun. We were even given some olives (which the owners mother marinates for the restaurant), bread and oil to nibble on. After all this we were more then full but a brave few tackled a Desert of crème Catalan (which is sort of like crème brûlée) which was brought out with the sugar on top and the the sugar was caramelised with a little blow torch infront of us by our super server.
As it was my birthday my parents had brought a surprise cake which was brought out after desert and I was serenaded in Spanish! Our waiter kindly offered to cut the cake and when I was brought back out with lovely slices on a saucer with whipped cream, raspberry sauce and sprinkled with icing sugar, how lovely was that?!
After our food festival we were offered sla liquor on the house which I think was called estrella (like the beer!) and it was lovely, I got a double shot as I was the birthday princess!
When we went to leave the server stood and chatted to us as we all showered him/​the restaurant/​the chef with praise. He was very modest and thankful.
Im sure you have gathered by now that I am head over heels for Casa Olé! This place is truly special and I think everyone should try it!
It’s only £10 for 3 tapas and a desert or coffee on pre theatre or you can book on 5pm for the same deal!
Love, love, love… Love, love!
