Bolero Bamberg in Bamberg

My wife and I were ecstatic to find Bolero in the heart of Bamberg and just a short walk from our hotel. We absolutely love tapas, but we have had mixed experiences in Germany. Let me just say that Bolero is among the best tapas we have had in all of Europe. It doesn't hurt that the restaurant itself is gorgeous and beautifully decorated in Spanish décor. There is also a large outside seating area. We came here on a Friday evening so we decided to do a recon mission beforehand. We came right when they opened up to make a reservation for the evening. We are glad we did as the place was completely packed by the time we finished our two-hour meal. We started with some delicious and perfectly cooked fried calamari. This was followed by gambas al ajillo and pulpo Galicia, which are always two of our favorites. Both dishes were amazing! We were only half way done as we also enjoyed the pimientos de Padron and sweet potato fries with a soicy sauce. Again, these dishes were outstanding. For our final tapa, we ordered something I had never seen before on a tapas menu. It was called pasta rellena, which was simply noodles cooked in a Manchego cheese sauce. This dish was actually the hit of the evening; however, every item was superbly outstanding! My wife and I enjoyed two glasses of dry white wine. Our waitress was also worth noting as Nexhisa Zeko took fabulous care of us. She knew exactly when to bring out a new dish and take away an empty one. The meal, the atmosphere, the service, and the evening were excellent. I strongly recommend coming to Bolero and doing the dance of the tapas! Que deliciosa y muchas gracias!

Eigentlich mag ich das Bolero sehr gerne und gehe auch des Öfteren dort hin. Leider bin ich dieses Mal sehr enttäuscht. Am Samstag den 22.03.25 waren ich und 5 weitere (RESERVIERT) zum Essen im Bolero uns hat ein Stuhl gefehlt, also fragten wir eine Kellnerin die uns versicherte das es ok ist den Stuhl zu nehmen und stellte ihn zu uns. Alles war gut bis uns dieser Stuhl genommen wurde weil eine Gruppe kam die einer zu viel war. Ein anderer Tisch wurde umgesetzt für die besagte Gruppe (die Leute waren am Essen und mussten während des Essens aufstehen) Der Kellner war nicht gerade freundlich als er uns den Stuhl genommen hat obwohl wir ihn versucht haben zu erklären das uns dieser Stuhl zurecht gegeben wurde. Also haben wir uns zusammen gezwängt und versucht so gut wie möglich zu essen. Das witzige an der Sache ist...ein Tisch war komplett frei (ohne reservierungs schild), da hättet der Herr auch den Stuhl von nehmen können. Danach war die Atmosphäre an meinem Tisch eher negativ da alle Augen auf uns waren. Unsere weibliche Bedienung war aber sehr lieb, welcher wir auch Trinkgeld gegeben haben. Vielleicht das nächste Mal nicht so viel reservieren lassen?

The place is nice and very Andalusian, except for two signs, one Argentinian and the other Colombian. The food, however, leaves much to be desired. The tapas are very, very small and expensive. The beer isn't Spanish and it's NOT served cold. The food isn't Spanish either and isn't cooked by a Spaniard. I dare say the chef has never been to tapas in Andalusia or anywhere else in Spain. Very expensive. You'll leave hungry. They don't serve bread (in Spain we eat with bread). And there's little variety in Spanish cuisine. Not recommended if you're looking for Spanish cuisine. But it's a good atmosphere if you're going for a LUKEWARM beer.

Delicious food, good cocktails (non-alcoholic), and fast and friendly service. Highly recommended.

Food & Service very good. Prices could be better.

Totally cozy and very tasty. Only the bill knocked us off our feet, but that has to be done sometimes.

Fantastic Spanish restaurant... Everything is true ❤️

Great ambience, top restaurant, very good portions, good value for money 👍🏻 Staff very friendly. Didn't have to wait long for the food 😊

Good food, impeccable service, pleasant atmosphere, I will definitely come back

Very nice restaurant, everything was great, even the boss served me. I can only highly recommend it to everyone, great music, some of the guests sing very nicely there.

The atmosphere is quite inviting, even if it was very loud and crowded. You can deal with this if you prepare for a lively atmosphere. Unfortunately the service left a lot to be desired. The waitress seemed like a nightmare - unfriendly, not attentive and with an air like seven days of rainy weather. The long wait for the food was particularly annoying. While two of us were already finished, the other two had to watch hungrily. An absolute no-go in a restaurant. The food itself was good, but by no means outstanding – more of a mass fare than a culinary experience. Considering the quality offered, in our opinion the price-performance ratio is not right. For the price we would have liked better service and more attention to detail. Conclusion: you don't have to have it again.

Service was a little too quick, food was good

We really enjoy going to Bolero. The food is very tasty and the cocktails are fantastic too. Perfect for a girls' night out in a great location. Tip: Be sure to reserve on the weekend. The Bolero is always very well attended.

Yes, but it has become more expensive

Offently planned and unfortunately now visited for the first time. Very tasty tapas and a great cherry. Unfortunately it's always busy. Reservation recommended.

Very good food, Great service!!

Good food and good service in general except that inside of the churros are too doughy and soft😐

All dishes ordered were very tasty. All three lemonades are delicious too. I would like to note that there was a very large portion of pasta and enough shrimp

I've been going there a lot for years, but I've noticed more and more that the service is getting worse. Customer satisfaction should be the primary goal. Whether it's unfriendly, annoyed or unaccommodating employees... I've been experiencing this far too often lately, which is extremely unfortunate. There is only one really great service person left and that is Daniela.

Went to the winter garden spontaneously and got a table straight away. Service staff was very friendly and funny, understood us straight away. The food was also very tasty and so were the drinks. Nice atmosphere just before Christmas. Highly recommended, always happy.

Dad ambience is really great There is music playing in the background which is very harmonious The service is top Friendly and accommodating The food was okay It came after about 10 minutes The potatoes seemed to have been warmed up (sorry if they weren't, they didn't seem fresh) but exactly the same I'm still undecided about the beef fillet because the sauce was very spicy What was very tasty, however, was the tuna cream and the Serano All in all, if I look at the price/performance ratio, I wouldn't go here again.

a great place for a nice dinner the menu is very varied and everything was really tasty especially the pasta that I tried was fantastic freshly prepared the service was fast and the staff very friendly the prices are also very fair and really good for this quality can definitely recommend it

Sehr lecker und viel. Wir haben uns eine Auswahl an Tapas bestellt. Schmeckte wie in Spanien. 😊 Die Thunfisch creme ist einfach mega.

The food was really tasty...At the beginning you're a bit overwhelmed by the whole selection of tapas, but once you've managed it, nothing stands in the way of a lovely evening...

Winter village is great... Service very friendly and attentive Delicious cocktails Gladly again

The tapas were delicious, but the crema catalana was far from the original. The atmosphere was nice, and the staff were attentive.

Great beer garden, nice staff and, above all, endlessly delicious tappas and the cocktails are awesome. We have been regular guests since the beginning and will definitely come back again and again!

We (girlfriend and I) were visiting Bamberg and wanted to eat tapas for the first time and came here for that. The ambience is great and the service is also good and quick. We had a total of five different tapas and a dessert, which I didn't keep down a few hours later. My girlfriend was still feeling weak the next day. Not only can we not recommend eating here, but this was our first and only time eating tapas.

Great Spanish restaurant. Very good value for money. We lived in Spain ourselves for many years and found it very authentic. Be sure to reserve!!

Great location, delicious food...

The place is very well located, clean and tidy. The decoration is good and the staff is friendly. Regarding the taste of the dishes, it is good. Personally, I think that the variety of dishes for “tapas” could be greater. Recommended place to enjoy some tapas and have a good time.

All the food and services are above excellent 👍👌. We visited 2 main churches and stopped at this restaurant for lunch. Amazing vibes....easy to locate the restaurant.

Good atmosphere . Cost-effectiveness is a bit low. Not enough for the price

I like coming here. The food is tasty, but would like more authentic tapas or dishes. Very TK-heavy at the moment. Edamame are of course pleasant to snack on... but this is more familiar from Asian cuisine. Drinks/cocktails are really well mixed. Service was super good and always open to an extra request. In any case, you feel welcome as a guest.

We were only in the garden area. A column heater was immediately turned on for us. Staff super friendly. A good saying for everyone. Keep it up. We'll be back.

A wonderful place to immerse yourself in a different atmosphere in historic Bamberg and to feel comfortable. The international service team works with noticeable joy and is very well organized and is complemented by very good food from the kitchen. A big thank you to everyone involved in making this place wonderful. We'd love to come back...

Can only recommend to everyone, simply top!!

Delicious tapas and vino are the perfect way to end the day.

Went there spontaneously and managed to get a table for 5 on a Saturday. The tapas are very tasty.

I always enjoy going there! Great service and delicious food.

Almost 10 years ago we had our first date with my wife at your Bolero. To this day we are still regular customers and now there are 4 of us visiting you. We always enjoy coming back and always look forward to it. For us it is a very special place, not just in terms of cuisine and ambience. Most of the staff have been the same for a long time. This shows great quality. Thank you very much 🤩😍

We (10 people) had another very good meal, drank great cocktails and were surprised with a delicious dessert plate. Many thanks again to Sandro and his team for the great service. Gladly again soon.

Great atmosphere, The entrance area was beautifully decorated as a winter village. I ordered a plate, it was plentiful and tasted excellent. I'll be back!

Great Tapas Bar, great variety and nice drinks and cocktails. A absolute go-to together with friends!

Restaurant überfüllt, lange Wartezeit, v.a. aufs Essen, unfreundlicher Service, der Bestellung nicht richtig entgegen nimmt und dann dem Gast die Schuld gibt. Ja, man kommt mit Block und Stift und weißt den Gast zurecht….unmöglich! War halt aber leider trotzdem Fehler von Bolero. Essen bei Ankunft halb kalt, Hälfte fehlt. Essen nichts besonderes, größtenteils Fertigware, die nur erwärmt oder in Schälchen gegeben wird. Dafür viel zu teuer.

Super good Spaniard, very typical Spanish food, nice atmosphere, again at any time!

If you like tapas, you shouldn't miss this. The atmosphere is great, the service staff are very polite and helpful. During Advent the front garden is beautifully decorated. But also great in summer.

Be sure to experience Spanish in Bamberg. The tapas are unique. If there is space due to The tourists in the shop eat really well!! I'm from here.

Very attentive and friendly service in the winter garden on November 20th! The four of us sat at a large, long table and still had our privacy, thanks to enough distance from the other guests.

Best Spaniards far and wide eat great service great ambience great 100% recommendation

A tapas restaurant with a very nice atmosphere. We had reserved a table on the train for Thursday evening (we were in Bamberg for several days and came across the restaurant by chance via Google Maps). Since we had finished checking in at the hotel etc. almost half an hour earlier, we decided (also because we were hungry) to visit the restaurant. We were warmly welcomed and the table was available without any problems! The restaurant was almost completely full the whole time. But there was never any stress because the waitresses harmonized well with each other. What took some getting used to at the beginning was that you had to fill out an order form yourself with the number and number of dishes. Unfortunately no one said anything about it. We each had a mixed fish/meat/tapa plate and two extra tapas. All the tapas were really good and the wine with them took you straight to Spain ;-) And before that there was a cocktail due to happy hour. You have to say that these had a really good mixing ratio for a happy hour and didn't taste watered down! This is how a cocktail should be! A lovely evening all around; However, we can only recommend that you reserve in advance, otherwise there is a risk that you won't get a seat!

We had dinner in this restaurant eating Paella, excellent in flavour, rich in fish, but very overcooked rice which lowered the score a bit, otherwise fast service and friendly welcome. Next time it will be better.

Be sure to reserve in good time!

It was my first time eating Spanish and it was a really great experience! The food was very tasty and authentic, which really impressed me. The service was also extremely friendly and accommodating, which made the visit even more pleasant. The location itself is also very nicely and comfortably furnished, so you immediately feel at home. Overall I had a really good feeling after the meal and will definitely come back. A clear recommendation!

Absolute recommendation, lots of choice, freshly prepared and top service....KEEP IT UP

Great restaurant, specialist in Spanish cuisine, especially tapas

Owner is such an arrogant person. We weren't allowed in with 5 men because we had some fez on when we walked in. The owner didn't let anyone talk to him, he probably didn't need to.

Very good food Sometimes very little in the bowls Tomatoes with cheese only contain 2 tiny cubes of cheese Meat in red wine is super tender Overall, all dishes were very well prepared The staff is easily overwhelmed The food comes in stages Parking situation chaotic No parking spaces There is a parking lot with a machine nearby and there is a disabled parking space on the other side of the street, although it is a real effort to get to the restaurant with a wheelchair. There are steps to overcome in the restaurant itself. No disabled toilet.

We ordered tapas. Everything was super tasty. Top menu and selection. The atmosphere is rustic and the staff is friendly. See you soon...

Delicious. Service very nice and professional

The food and service were very good.....the prices have unfortunately increased, like everywhere else. The restaurant has its own Spanish charm.

Great and fast staff. We sat at the bar so orders and deliveries felt quicker. The tapas are a dream... I hadn't been there for a long time and was surprised by the new delicacies.

The food is delicious, the portions of some tapas could be a bit larger, the staff is very nice and attentive and the atmosphere is nice. Highly recommended!! Always my pleasure!

Very tasty, but a bit expensive.

Nice place. The tapas are very tasty. Especially the tomatoes with sheep's cheese, the mushrooms, the hummus and the small shrimps.

Awesome drinks, ok food. Expect to pay €45 per person.

Great service despite 20 people at the same time.

5/5 stars. Super nice atmosphere, competent and friendly staff, as well as absolutely tasty food.

Delicious food where everyone can find something. Great homemade sodas and cocktails. We'll definitely be back.

Был выходной день , решили приехать в свой любимый Бамберг . Решили изменить своим традициям и попробовать другую кухню . В ресторане очень много плюсов . Еда вкусная , подача быстрая . P.S Впечатление испортил , официант , такое отношение , как будто пришли к нему домой , без разрешения . Уважаемый персонал , относитесь с уважением к своим гостям . !!!!!

Had a great evening with very good food. Will definitely come back. Highly recommended.

We all enjoyed the well-chilled drinks. Very friendly service. Well frequented...speaks for itself.

Very nice atmosphere, efficient and friendly service. But: unfortunately the price-performance ratio of the food is not right at all. For this price I expect freshly prepared tapas of high quality. However, the tapas gave the strong impression of warmed-up convenience food. That's not a bad thing in principle, but then you can't charge such prices.

Nice restaurant, unobtrusive service and very good food…we'll be back

Super great food, we had dinner here with 8 people. Gladly again

It's a very nice restaurant. The service is quick and very friendly. The food is great 😋 You should reserve in advance because the restaurant is very busy.

The price was a bit too high, but the food was great.

Very nicely located with a beer garden. Very friendly to dogs you bring with you. And it’s delicious anyway

Service moderately friendly. Food ok but not good. Significantly too expensive for what is offered. A main course came with the starters. Pulpo a la Gallega for €12.50 is measly small.

We came to this restaurant by chance and loved it from start to finish! Absolutely top quality that you can also taste. Service was very friendly and the food was always at the table promptly. We'd love to come back. Tip: Angus beef fillet tips in Rioja sauce

Great food, reasonable prices, very nice beer garden, top service

Great food, good service, nice atmosphere. Highly recommended, we would love to come back.

A real tapas specialist! Fantastically delicious - especially shrimp, sardinas and seafood in general! Highly recommended - everything in a very, very nice atmosphere!

It's easy to get a seat without a reservation, excellent tapas in a cozy atmosphere. Gladly again

Leckere Tapas in allen Varianten im ehemaligen Polarbär-Garten in Bamberg. Alle Tapas, die wir probierten waren frisch und lecker, der Rosé des Hauses gut gekühlt und so ließ es sich gut aushalten in dieser inzwischen über 20 Jahre alten Bamberger Institution.

Very nice, large terrace in a quiet location. The food is super delicious. I ordered an appetizer platter. I'd love to come back!

Very good food with small drawbacks. (Shrimps were hard cooked, the sweet potatoes were mushy) All in all, a successful evening in a lovely atmosphere!

Pleasant atmosphere. Service friendly. Tapas super tasty. Prices a bit exaggerated.

It was ok, the tapas were good and everything went well.

Super great restaurant with high quality food. Feels like Spain 🇪🇸

Very pleasant atmosphere, friendly service.

We ate Zapas which were all very tasty, as well as great cocktails at the Happy Hour. The inner courtyard has a great atmosphere, it was like being on vacation.

Super tasty food, service was good. We had a great place in the winter garden. Even if the food isn't exactly cheap (like almost everywhere these days), we really enjoyed the evening. We'd love to come back. Thank you very much!

You can go there ;-) Food is very good, service is on point. Everything 👍 good

Nothing more is possible... Super tasty, great ambience, very good service.

We visited here a few weeks ago for the Germany game against Denmark and wanted to write something here again, especially to "warn" people who want to come here at top times in the future. First about the situation: The restaurant was completely full and nothing was possible without a reservation (which we had). From the moment we arrived it was clear that the service was a bit overwhelmed. Drinks came slowly or not at all. Food was already cold when it came and one dish was wrong, but we were still charged for it... In summary, this part of the evening was a bit of a letdown. As already mentioned at the beginning, I can only speak of a very well-attended time here, hopefully the situation is (significantly) better normally...

Food was delicious. After 1 1/2 hours the boss very uncharmingly asks you that it's time to leave. You won't be asked if you want anything else or if everything was OK. assembly line. Eat there. Out - next. This is not how you imagine a nice evening. The last time I was in the Bolero. In Bamberg there are definitely more hospitable options to spend a nice evening.

The food was good The service leaves a lot to be desired in terms of friendliness.

Very tasty, we can recommend it, in the middle of Bamberg with a great ambience

Whether sun or rain - simply beautiful with the Bolero. Tapas is awesome and you can't help but rave about and indulge in the appetizers!
