Olé Spanish Restaurant

Olé is a sit-down Spanish restaurant on Mesrop Mashtots Avenue with a menu built around tapas, paella, and grilled seafood. Cold soups open the meal — gazpacho andaluz and salmorejo cordobés — followed by tapas like pan tumaca, patatas bravas, tortilla de jamón, and croquetas. The paella section runs six ways: de verduras, valenciana, de marisco, mixta, arroz negro, and 2 sabores, priced 3800-5200 AMD. Seafood mains include dorado and lubina a la parrilla, langostino a la parrilla, and pulpo a la gallega, while meat dishes cover rabo de toro, tomahawk, carrillada, and toro asado. Platters of jamón ibérico, Spanish cheeses, and mixed tapas suit sharing. A separate lunch menu offers set options like Menú Crujiente, Marinera, and Vegetal in the 2400-3500 AMD range. Desserts include tarta de Santiago, crema catalana, and torrijas con helado de chocolate. The drinks list is extensive: signature cocktails like Sangre del Toro and Cojunudo, Spanish sangria and tinto de verano, a full spirits back bar, and wine lists split between Spanish labels (Campo Viejo, Bodegas Faustino) and Armenian bottles (Voskeni, Martiros, Kepas, Karas). It suits travelers and locals wanting a Mediterranean menu with cocktail and wine pairings, at an average check around 8000 AMD.
