AleOli y Tu
About This Spot
Stepping into AleOli y Tu feels like entering a cozy corner of Spain nestled right in the heart of Shrewsbury. The warm, inviting glow of soft lighting mingles with the buzz of intimate conversations and the gentle clink of glasses, creating an atmosphere that strikes a lovely balance between relaxed comfort and spirited conviviality. It's the kind of place where time slows just enough for you to settle in, exchange stories, and savor not only the food but the shared moments around the table.
The pace here matches the unhurried rhythm of an evening meant for discovery and connection. Friendly, attentive staff make you feel genuinely welcome without ever interrupting the flow of your experience, guiding you thoughtfully through a menu designed to spark curiosity and enjoyment. Whether you're drawn by the playful variety of tapas or the delight of savoring small plates that carry authentic Spanish flavors, each dish is a chance to explore tastes and textures alongside good company.
You might find yourself lingering over patatas bravas with their satisfying heat, or sharing charcuterie and alioli pintxos that invite conversations as much as bites. The freshness of a mixed salad or the subtle spice of gambas al ajillo beautifully complement the moment, offering a sense of place that’s both familiar and a little adventurous. Drinks here—from sparkling lemonades to carefully paired spirits—flow naturally into the unhurried evening, enhancing the overall feeling of ease and enjoyment.
What makes AleOli y Tu truly stand out is how it feels like a gathering spot for people who appreciate honest, heartfelt hospitality. Whether it’s a casual catch-up, a special team meal, or a night out after an event nearby, this is a space where the small gestures—from a smile to opening early for guests—build a quietly memorable experience. It’s no surprise that visitors return, drawn by kindness as much as the delicious food, and leave carrying a sense of warmth that lingers long after the last bite.

A very special restaurant with amazing food and hosts. We wanted something different for our team Christmas meal this year, they opened early to accommodate us and served the most delicious food! Highly recommended

We had such a brilliant time and ate so much good food. We went for the set menu and added a few extras. It was all so good. Favourites include the prawns, the tomato salad and the chorizo. Thanks so much for having us especially after we accidentally turned up late! Can’t wait to come back!

We had such a great night here after listening to the Carols in the Square. Good choice of food that was tasty with some Christmas specials thrown in. Lovely atmosphere with fun staff, Grace and Fran were a good laugh. We needed to make a video, and after checking this was ok with her customers, Fran joined in. We will return soon in the New Year.

What a gem! AleOli Tu is a must-try. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. Chloe, our server, was a star – her smiles, humor, and helpful suggestions made the evening. We appreciated Chloe and the owner's guidance on the tapas menu. The food was delicious, portions were generous, and the service was quick and attentive. Even with wine and drinks, the bill for four came to less than £160 (including a discretionary 10% service charge that was well-deserved!). Highly recommend for the personal touch and fantastic food.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience at AleOli y Tu! The ambience is fantastic – cozy and welcoming – and the food is easily the best we’ve had in Shrewsbury. Everything was so reasonably priced too. The sangria, chorizo, Camembert, and patatas bravas were absolutely delicious! A special shout-out to Grace and Liv, who looked after us so attentively and made the whole experience even better, so friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend – we’ll definitely be coming back!

Lovely spot with your usual tapas fare done well. Standout dishes for us were the gambas pil pil, grilled vegetables and from the trio dips - the tapenade and humus were buzzing with flavour. Service was attentive and efficient.
