Olas Tapas Café
Located on the west side of The Village at Sanlitun, facing Yashow Market, Olas is a tapas restaurant from the same people behind the similarly themed Mare. Comfortable red sofas and warmly colored paintings fill out the decor and the menu is centered around a wide selection of tapas ranging from around RMB 30-100. As well as tapas standards like Patatas Bravas, olives and squid, there are options like Spanish sandwiches, deep-fried camembert with honey balsamic vinaigrette, mushroom risotto and foie gras with stewed potato and truffle oil. Customize your own salad or add a pasta dish to fill up and choose from desserts including tiramisu and lava cake. Wine and sangria are available as well.

Review of Olas Tapas Café
The food was OK although hardly what you would call Tapas(risotto)the size of the portions are big by Tapas standards.In addition your order all come's at once allowing dishes to get cold !
The biggest complaint is that the restaurant has no toilet facilities at all, you have to take a round trip outside of approx 15 minutes to visit public toilets, so don't drink to much beer or wine

Review of Olas Tapas Café
I eat there quite often for the lunch special 48rmb and that is well worth it. Good salads and nice sandwiches. The quality of the food is always good. The one thing that gets me is that if you go off the lunch special and need to get a drink and ice tea is 25 rmb while a coke is 15...what's with that?

Review of Olas Tapas Café
I've never actually had authentic Spanish tapas but would agree that here they are like 'mini-meals' - two of us ordered five and that was quite enough for a filling dinner.
I'd particularly recommend the ciabatta bread, the camembert and the mushroom risotto.
The service was OK, the waitress dithered around a bit and didn't appear sure whether or not we'd finished - and the neon from Ya Xiu, which is right next door, didn't really add much to the atmosphere sitting outside. Still, if you get a seat facing the street you can people watch and they light candles at dusk. If some in your party fancy ice-cream the outdoor seating at Coldstone Creamery is within chatting distance.
Together with a large jug of yummy sangria (you can choose the wine they make it with; we chose the cheapest, ha) the bill came to over RMB400.
In short, I really enjoyed the food, everything else is OK but nothing special. I'd give it three and a half if I could.
