Las Olas in Hattingen

We ordered tapas for 2 people. Some dishes were too oily for me personally and I thought there was too little overall. I was expecting everything to be served at once but instead the food was brought in 3 courses.

We were there for the menu carousel and after three hours we only received the first two courses! The drinks were only refilled upon request and in very small quantities. We left after three and a half hours, still hungry and very upset. But even then, no one made an effort to discuss the circumstances with us. Therefore - never again!!!!

I can recommend it with a clear conscience. Very cozy, 😋 delicious. Top rating from me.

The best Spanish restaurant. The food with the Tapaz was terrific. Very nice, friendly service. Thanks to the Las Olaz team

If you like tapas, you will love this place! Absolutely recommended.

We made a short-term reservation on February 22, 2025. What we expected: The whole team was very friendly. The food was very good! Cozy atmosphere - price-performance ratio okay! We'll be back.

Great food and a great salad. We'll be back.

Very tasty food, very friendly service. Without a reservation it will be difficult but not impossible if you then accept the remaining table. It's worth it

Great restaurant, very good service and incredibly delicious food. We were really completely satisfied and will definitely come back. Absolutely recommended

Very nice service, great food. Gladly again

It was a wonderful evening with friends and delicious tapas. The service is super great. We'd love to come back

Very great place to enjoy together... everything very tasty and fresh.

Ambiance and service really good. The tomato soup wasn't fresh and wasn't homemade either. The chocolate souffle had no taste. Unfortunately the tapas were only “okay”. Quality has repeatedly decreased compared to the last visits.

Typical Spanish cuisine of good quality. Nice service, always well attended, reservations recommended! Nice upscale atmosphere.

Food was very tasty. Only the grilled peppers didn't convince me. I'd love to come back

Good Spanish restaurant in the old town with a large selection of tapas dishes and main courses. Nice staff good service.

For two, Friday evening. We got one of the last tables in the bodega opposite without a reservation. Super friendly staff, very familiar atmosphere and fantastic tapas. Ate the tapas menu for €30pp and were very satisfied and full Clear recommendation, but better with reservation

I really like Las Olas. The food tastes very good, the employees were very friendly and competent. The price is a little higher (we spent around €100 for the two of us) but it's worth it.

Was very tasty. Pleasant atmosphere.

A beautiful Spanish restaurant in Hatting's old town, which we have enjoyed visiting several times a year for years. With the new menu you were able to surprise us with new, delicious tappas.

Everything was great. Good quality, nice staff.

Very good authentic food, reservation definitely recommended, nice atmosphere, service tried hard

We'd love to come back. No matter what day of the week, no matter what time. The restaurant is always busy and that simply speaks for top quality. Everyone is super nice and accommodating, the food is served hot and is super tasty. The map is very diverse. It's best to reserve a table.

The food was great. Originally we wanted to go to a table in the restaurant. Unfortunately someone got sick so we picked up the food, which was very spontaneous (really, we called half an hour in advance and everything worked out). The food was great. It tasted so good, I'll be dreaming about it for a long time. We got a specialist to pick it up locally. The staff were all super nice too! We'll definitely go there again.

Large selection of different tapas and main courses, the salads are also really good. Whether meat, fish or vegetarian, everyone gets their money's worth and wine lovers are also in good hands. The service is quite quick with the drinks, the food naturally takes a while - but it's worth it. In the summer you can sit outside wonderfully, but it is also very cozy inside.

Were there for the second time, this time in the bodega opposite. This was probably rented to cope with the rush, which is absolutely right 😁. Since we eat tapas very often and have been able to enjoy the original very often in Spain, we can distinguish the good ones from the not so good ones. And here they are very good. If you want to try it, we advise you to reserve early and bring your time. Not because the service is too slow, on the contrary, people just like to stay longer because it is very comfortable. Little tip: No. 71, the tapas for 2 people. TOP!

My wife and I had a main course of grilled plates and lamb skewers, received after 90 minutes. The meat was dry and poured over the fried potatoes mojo.

We were lucky enough to get a seat in the small bar opposite. Beautiful ambience, delicious tapas and top service. Wine recommendation was great.

Wow. Tolle Gastgeber, tolles Ambiente, tolle Tapas-Variationen. Wir haben uns rundherum wohl gefühlt und kommen sehr gern wieder. Aktualisierung: Heute waren wir wieder da und ebenso begeistert. Herzlichen Dank!

Great tapas, extremely tasty, courteous, friendly service despite being very busy.

Great food, nice ambience and very nice staff. The best Spaniard we ate at.

A very nice and attractive restaurant with courteous service. The menu offers a very nice selection of tapas, main courses, desserts and matching drinks.

Absolute recommendation. The food is very good and so is the service. We've been there several times and have never been disappointed.

Super tasty tapas. Nice staff. A bit expensive but what else is cheap today? Reservations are advisable. Especially on the weekend

Very nice atmosphere, delicious food, perfect service - what more could you want! Gladly again at any time!

Paying 8.50 euros for 100 grams of spinach leaves, 3 pine nuts, 5 garlic cloves and 10 grams of paprika is the bottom of the barrel. In return you get a complete meal. Unfortunately it doesn't work at all. Other tapas are so tiny that it's outrageous to even use a plate for them. Disappointed 😞

Very tasty food. Our repeat orders were always responded to quickly. The service was very friendly and confident. The highlight was the stuffed peppers with fish

Four of us were here on a Saturday evening, fortunately we were able to reserve a table just an hour in advance and didn't regret it. Very nice atmosphere, nice service and delicious food. The price is certainly high, but you can taste it too. Everything was wonderful, gladly again

Good concept to be able to keep different tapas dishes. All good and tasty.

A great experience, food very good, service perfect and fast

We had a nice lunch. It was quite crowded. Because of this, ordering drinks was a bit lengthy. But it didn't do any harm. Food was very good!

Very crowded, little space between tables, therefore noisy. Not a relaxed environment. Service overwhelmed. Waited over 30 minutes for the first drink. The food also came very slowly. Everything tasted good and flawless. Fewer guests in the same space could solve the problem. Then the guests will come back.

Still the best Spaniard in Hattingen. Always well attended and there are reasons for that. All dishes are seasoned in a very balanced way and not too spicy. The sangria is excellent. Attentive service.

It was a wonderful evening with friends...very good food and perfect service.

Unfortunately the price/performance ratio is no longer right. The prices are high and the portions are small. For 2 people just under 100 euros and just got enough. The "big" men's restroom was permanently closed. That doesn't actually work at all.

Price performance is right in my opinion. not quite anymore. A year ago it was a good fit. Otherwise the food is still perfectly fine!

Food was very tasty, short waiting time, lots of choice and reasonable prices. Nice ambience and nice service. Absolutely recommended!

Delicious tapas, nice staff! Gladly again 👍 PS: Outside, the smell of the surrounding garbage cans and the blowflies was very pungent.

The two of us were there spontaneously in the afternoon. Very tasty tapas, plenty of choice. Not cheap, but very good. We would have liked the tapas to be served at the same time and not with a 10-minute break. Otherwise it was very good, we would like to come back.

Very, very tasty tapas and dishes. The staff is friendly and quick. We would love to come back ☺️

Food is good, service can be improved

Very tasty tapas, top service. Can only be recommended.

We had a great evening with the delicious tapas platter for two people. Super nice service. We'd love to come back!

We were there a long time ago and were thrilled. This time the experience wasn't that great. It was terribly warm (inside) and we had to wait 30 minutes for drinks. Someone asked in between if everything was OK (probably because our table was so empty) and I kindly pointed out the missing drinks. When, about 10 minutes later, nothing was happening and I was starting to feel uneasy because of the heat, I asked nicely again and got an annoyed "Yes, it's coming soon!" to the answer. The family at the table next to us arrived at the restaurant after us, but had their food (and drinks) before we got any. There wasn't that much going on and other people in the store were also being served. Like the others at my table, I was looking forward to delicious tapas. Instead, we paid after the drinks came and then went somewhere else to eat. Too bad.

A great tip for tapas of exceptional quality that you can taste. You can notice precise craftsmanship. In addition, very friendly staff and the Hattinger old town. What more could you want? My absolute recommendation is the tapas selection or menu. A culinary bouquet of flowers! Gladly again and again! Particularly well accompanied by a bottle of Finca Munoz (red, dry and rich).

We have been to the restaurant in Hattingen several times and it has always been great. The variety of food, quality and of course most importantly the taste. Simply great! This year Las Olas is finally represented at “Bochum Kulinarisch”. Here too, really perfect! Despite the stress and a mobile, of course much smaller kitchen, great food. As always, the whole team was friendly and totally committed. Hopefully it will be an integral part of the event from now on!

Completely overwhelmed staff, unfriendly, nothing works, tapas every 30 minutes, no comfortable, coherent meal possible, our group was only served bits and pieces. Far too expensive for the poor service. Not recommended.

Very tasty, very nice staff, a great evening: The tapasus selection is plentiful and I didn't have anything that wasn't tasty. The main courses looked great and were very tasty, according to my colleagues. And the dessert not only looked great, but was also very tasty.

We have been regular guests at - in our opinion - the best Spanish restaurant in the area for 8 years. It's not for nothing that we travel from Schwelm every time. The quality is consistently very good, but it also has its price. The service is very friendly, we are now on a first name basis. We can only warmly recommend the restaurant Las Olas to all tapas lovers.

Good tapas restaurant and not only that. Everything tasted good. Big praise to staff. The two girls completely outnumbered the store when it came to service!

Super tasty, great service. Price is not low. But it tasted very good and I would love to do it again.

just wow. The tapas were delicious, the service was friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was relaxed and relaxed. It's also very nice to sit outside in the summer - in the small, charming old town between half-timbered buildings.

Terrible service, during our visit we were not well attended to, we were ignored several times.

We recommend! Large portions and very tasty. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is pleasant. But we found the prices to be very high. Nonetheless it is a very good restaurant. Price performance is okay. PS: Chocolate soufle is super delicious, the vanilla ice cream is also great!

Man glaubt sich in Spanien 🇪🇸zufällig entdeckten wir dieses Tapas-Lokal und hatten einen perfekten Abend 👍große Auswahl an köstlichen Tapas! Sehr freundliches Personal und so haben wir beschlossen auch den zweiten Abend hier zu verbringen. Wenn wir wieder einmal in diese Gegend kommen ist dieses Lokal ein Pflichtbesuch😋😋liebe Grüße von den Ösis 😃

It was super tasty, exactly our thing, everything was great, we had another wonderful evening today and it was very tasty 🤗 see you next time 🖒

Great Spanish, super tasty tapas! We were at Las Olas with friends and ate our way through the tapas menu. Really everything was very tasty. If tapas, then read Olas! However, the service was a bit annoying. Super nice, no question. But endless waiting times, we were constantly forgotten and we always had to draw attention to ourselves. Unfortunately it seems very chaotic. There is still room for improvement. We still come back again and again :)

Unfortunately this time it was very tiring! We wanted to celebrate our wedding anniversary with our friends! It wasn't actually full, but there were always waiting times and something was missing! We actually know the taste better here, too bad! Since we had previously advertised how great it was here, we really embarrassed ourselves. Too bad

If you want great Spanish food with high quality and attentive staff, this is the right place for you

Schade,nach unserem letzten Besuch,November 2022,waren war unser Essen gestern eine Entäuschung ! Ich bestellte Champiñones al ajillo als Vor.-und Lammspieße als Hauptspeise,zuerst kamen die Spieße,während meine Frau ihren Salat schon gegessen hatte. Dies beanstandete ich,die Spieße gingen retour und kamen mit ,der kalten Cazuela und den lauwarmen Champiñones wieder an den Tisch.Zu denn Spießen,kamen die Kartoffelnwürfel und der Salat,wie auf der Karte ausgewiesen leider nicht… Leider ungenügend und für dieses Leistung überteuert !

Wow Really good. Some tapas are very small (e.g. pepper spinach) and some are quite large. We recommend.

A delicious Spanish restaurant with a nice and varied tappas menu right in the historic old town of Hattingen. We miss Spanish food a little in our native Unterallgäu, as these restaurants are very rare and we would have to travel long distances. That's why it was a nice experience again. Due to the weather we were able to sit outside in the old town alley with a view of beautiful old half-timbered houses. In short: Great menu, good wine, delicious and filling food, good service, very clean sanitary facilities. Clear recommendation from Katja & Ralf

The food and drinks were super good. We look forward to your next visit!

By far the best tapas in the area. The aioli is unbeatable :)

Great food but a bit expensive. Otherwise overall great!

The food is rich and good, the price was normal. The service is quite slow, the atmosphere is appealing.

We went there on a Monday and the restaurant was relatively full. So it's not a bad idea to make a reservation. The food is delicious. I ordered pork medallions in cream sauce. Delicious. The staff is very friendly.

The waitress was rude and completely overwhelmed and there were only 6 guests in the restaurant

The food was OK, but somehow nothing more, we expected more. At the beginning our order (mixed tapas) was passed through, the food came around us, ours only after we asked. The request for salt & pepper was completely forgotten (in contrast to the neighboring table). Empty dishes were not cleared away and no questions were asked for a second round of drinks. A pity. I think we won't come back.

Delicious Mediterranean cuisine. Lots of small dishes that you can choose according to your taste. A pleasure for us.

A lovely evening at las Olas, we would love to come back

Great team. Everything very quickly. The food is top. Just try everything ;-) It was a pleasure!

Super delicious food in a great atmosphere

Was completely satisfied. The selection of tapas is quite large. In Spain there are regional specialties, you can't get everything anywhere.

Really good, very attentive service, very attractively decorated, TOP

Delicious tapas, friendly service, attractive facilities.

Very nice location. Unfortunately a bit narrow and therefore very loud.

Mega delicious food. Service attentive and polite. Have been there several times.

Simply great. Our favorite Spaniard. The quality of the food is great and it tastes simply good. The sangria is simply delicious.

Everything perfect! One of the best restaurants in the entire Ruhr area!! Nice location with a view of the beautiful old town of Hattingen. Very good, lovingly prepared food. The tapas are very diverse and super tasty! You have to spend a lot of money, but you really enjoy doing it.

It was a very nice evening in a great restaurant with delicious food.

Very versatile - very tasty - very friendly, funny and attentive service! Go there!

Leider war unser Besuch im Restaurant enttäuschend. Wir hatten einen Tisch für 20 Uhr reserviert, aber das Restaurant teilte uns mit, dass nur 19 Uhr möglich sei. Also stimmten wir zu. Als wir ankamen, gab es keine Reservierung für 19 Uhr, da uns gesagt wurde, dass wir bis dahin hätten fertig sein sollen. Die Diskussion seitens des Restaurants über die Reservierung war unprofessionell und unangemessen. Inakzeptabel

Great Spaniard with very great food.

Unfortunately our visit to the restaurant was disappointing. We had reserved a table for 8pm, but the restaurant informed us that only 7pm was possible. So we agreed. When we arrived there was no reservation for 7pm as we were told we should have been ready by then. The restaurant's discussion about the reservation was unprofessional and inappropriate. Unacceptable.

Delicious tapas, always a pleasure.

We were there very early, so the tappas were almost all at the same time. But once again it was BOMBastic 🤩 delicious. I love the spinach with pine nuts and the aioli is a must.

Ich war in den letzten Jahren schon mindestens 10 Mal im Las Olas zu Gast und es zählt definitiv zu meinen Lieblingsrestaurants. Ich kann verstehen, dass einige vorherige bewertende Personen den Service als negativ oder nocht ausreichend empfunden haben - ich bin aber immer gut zurecht gekommen und wenn man freundlich nachfragt, wurde auch stets das gewünschte Getränk oder ein neues Glas/Messer etc. zeitnah gebracht. Man muss bedenken, dass das Lokal zu den Stoßzeiten immer ausgebucht ist und es unzählige Tische gibt. Daher haben die KellnerInnen immer sehr gut zu tun. Ich habe aber auch den Eindruck, dass der Service in den letzten Jahren schneller geworden ist. Welche Info vor einem Besuch vllt noch hilfreich sein kann ist, dass die Tapas-Speisen in der Regel nach Nummerreihenfolge kommen - hat man viele vegetarische Varianten kommen diese zuerst, Fleischspezialitäten kommen eher zum Schluss. Wer Fleisch liebt muss daher meist etwas geduldiger als der Rest vom Tisch sein. Bei einem Besuch empfehlen kann ich die Nr 2 (Aioli pikant - nicht sonderlich scharf) & die Nr 8 (gebackener Manchego). Auch der Sangria ist zwar etwas teurer, aber ich finde diesen super lecker. Insgesamt reichen bei uns 5 Tapas für 2 Personen vollkommen aus. Preislich liegen wir bei zwei Personen um die 50-60€ inkl Getränke. Wir bestellen allerdings auch nur in der Regel ein Fleischgericht - diese sind etwas teurer. Insgesamt kann ich nur vom Las Olas schwärmen und werde die Tage den nächsten Tisch für einen schönen und leckeren Abend reservieren :-)

Very nice restaurant. The service is great, the boss is very warm and hospitable. The food is great and is certainly one of the best in Hattingen and beyond. We haven't tried all the tapas yet, but the ones we had were great. We'll definitely be back 💯 % recommendation!

Great Spaniard! Tasty, friendly. Highly recommended👍
