01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Stepping down the stairs into the basement of a Kanda-Jimbocho building reveals Ole Ole, a vibrant, spacious dining room accented in warm reds. The restaurant keeps things relaxed, serving everything from staple tapas and paellas to generous meat dishes without any fuss.
Broth-Soaked Paella Paired with Sizzling Ajillo
Available in the evening, as well as at lunchtime with an advance reservation, the signature seafood paella is cooked so that every grain of rice absorbs the deep flavours of the seafood stock. Regulars often pair this with an ajillo of mushrooms or small prawns. Drizzling a spoonful of the fragrant garlic oil over the rice adds an extra layer of richness and aromatic depth, offering an enjoyable twist on the classic dish.
Satisfying Lunches Complete from Soup to Dessert
At midday, the dining room fills with local workers drawn by well-rounded lunch sets. Options run the gamut from weekly pasta specials and a rich tomato-cream pasta to tender pork steak or a combination plate of hamburger steak and cream croquette. Each set includes not just the main dish, but also soup, salad, a drink, and a small dessert, making for an exceptionally filling midday break.
From Wine-Friendly Tapas to House Desserts
Evenings invite lingering over plates of Jamón Ibérico de Bellota or assorted charcuterie alongside a wide selection of Spanish wines, sherries, and house sangria. To finish, there is a bitter-caramel adult custard pudding alongside assorted sweet platters. Backed by the owner's easygoing hospitality, the venue accommodates both lively group gatherings and a casual solo drink with equal ease.
