Olive Tree Brasserie Chester in Cheshire West and Chester

Been 3 times now and each time we have had a wonderful meal and service! Can't recommend it enough!

Wonderful food and great atmosphere, the place was full and because of this the service was a bit slow so that’s forgiven but only 4 stars for service. Would I recommend…… wholeheartedly and without hesitation. Keep up the good work 👍

Lovely authentic Greek restaurant. Nice food, value and service

Absolutely loved our evening here! Outstanding food and Jess was so friendly and really made the evening extra special! We will definitely revisit soon!

Lovely place, loved the food. We was walking all round Chester looking for a place to eat and we was not disappointed when we found olive tree Brasserie. Grate food, great price nice staff.

Amazing monday! Great service from Jess & Cal. Good recommendations. Will be back for the mix gril again.

Excellent service from Felipe. Beautiful food and large portion. Would definitely recommend.

Felipe was very attentive, very polite and very professional.

Had bottomless brunch food amazing drinks great and lovely friendly service from Ava!

Superb lunch today sooooo enjoyable in every way!

Great place absolutely loved it,plenty of food and a bonus it was 50%off thank you

Couldnt fault anything. It was excellent

Had a very nice time Felipe was very lovely to me and my friend. We felt very welcome and enjoyed our time at the restaurant. Thank you Felipe !

Lovely place ,staff very friendly, the food is another story ,me an my wife ordered lamb kebab it was basically supermarket meatballs on a stick ,my wife took one bite and past me her meatballs on stick I only ate it as I was starving ,and also had a sausage halloumi starter and the sausage was very grisseley, not impressed at all

First time doing bottomless Brunch. The food was amazing but even more so the service by Felipe was next level. We didn’t have to wait for our next drink because he was there waiting for our next out. Amazing service !

Wonderful place and lovely staff

We went here for Saturday evening meal. The food is very nice at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend the lamb Would go again, especially for the lunch menu. With it been Greek inspired plenty of veg and vegan options

I had a nice time for my birthday, my partner planned it and put in the booking that it was my birthday on the day and if there was anything they could do, but nothing was acknowledged and there wasn't a response. Which is ok however someone just letting us know would have been grand. The food was nice and came out very quickly. The servers were nice however we were waiting for a long time for our table to be ready and a couple with the same booking who came in late was seated before us. The drinks were nice.

Felipe was the best server ever

3rd visit over the years . Food was great and served quickly . Jazz music in background but we would have prefered greek music . Good deals in Jan as we were given a 50% off food menu . We will return .

Had late Sunday lunch hear and have to say it was lovely. This is the 3rd time we've visited over the years and it never disappoints. Service is fantastic. Highly recommend a visit next time your in Chester

Had a Sunday roast here, just my wife and myself on the 6th Jan 2025. I paid a little extra to have all 3 meats on offer. Food was amazing, service was excellent, attentive staff without being pushy or over the top, did a wonderful job. Cornish cider was lovely too 😋 Thank you for a lovely time away from the snow and ice !

Found the food average the lamb kleftiko was covered in bisto gravy the wine was a very cheap shiraz we will not be returning

Our party of 8 went for dinner on the January 50% off food deal.All I can is what a great meal it was . No cutting back on portion sizes or quality.This was the real deal.Grabit while you can.

We had another excellent meal here. Even though it was busy the service was very good.

Had a meal here 30/12/24 as we were sending a few days in Chester. The restaurant looks great and we found the staff attentive and friendly. We had the mixed grill which costs £49.95 for the 2 of us. The meat was lovely but it lacked enough salad, think there was 2 little tomatoes and few bits of rocket and only enough tzatziki for one. It was however over loaded with chips of which we aren't great fans, it was over facing and the couple on the next table, also having the mixed grill agreed and we all left the chips. Not sure it warranted the price. Was a little shocked to find when we got the hull that £7.50 service charge had been added. Think this is a little cheeky as we like to tip accordingly. We were advised this could be removed but as it was Xmas we paid it but will know next time.

The value for money was excellent. The deals they have on, particularly mid week are amazing. Highly recommend this place. Definitely be back 👍

Great food great staff beautiful place

What a gorgeous place! Absolutely delicious food with excellent menu choices. Staff were friendly and attentive and the service was excellent, Highly recommended.

We celebrated an anniversary at the Olive Tree. The food and service were brilliant. Loved the place and will definitely be back. Bradley, the manager was very attentive and made the night special.

Fantastic value for money, we had gyros and a few appetisers shared between us. Great service, staff very welcoming and great for vegan/alternative options.

If you have allergies I would definitely say avoid. We had checked before and they said fine, turned up and said no. Pudding was a joke as one waitress said one thing and another something different. Made me very anxious eating there. Not sure why restaurants can’t get a grip with the basic food allergies. Also felt like we didn’t have a waiter and had to really fight to get anything ordered as no one came to check on the table.

Lovely food and great service frrom Evie. Thank you 🤩

Lovely food and atmosphere. Special mention to Evie who made our night. Nothing was too much for her - thanks Evie x

lovely night for our girls bottomless brunch. special mention to Evie who attended to our every request. Thanks Evie x

Fab experience. Served by Evie. Great service made sure we had amazing food and drinks the whole time we were here!

We had our Girlie Christmas bottomless brunch! Amazing food, quick service on the drinks and top notch service by Evie our server! We had the best day ♥️🎄

The chicken kebabs were delicious, would highly recommend 😋

Really nice food and atmosphere, I had a fillet stake which was better than any steakhouse I have ever been to. Only thing was that in the minute that our starters had been taken away, our mains were already being served. Staff were asked about this and we were told that the chefs often get bored on days such as ours where it isn’t busy and go through orders pretty quickly. What was nice though is that the member of staff that was asked about this issue did then put the next two drinks that we ordered on the house.

We had the gyros on the lunch menu, great value for money.

Great service, food, and drink. Dog friendly! Seemed a bit short staffed when we visited.

Amazing lunch here today! A very nice looking restaurant, fantastic food and great service. Gyros, chips and a drink was cheaper than just a Gyros from the Xmas market! Will definitely be coming back to try some of the other food on the menu.

The restaurant was busy and the staff seemed a bit confused. They forgot one of my friend's dish but apologised and took it off the bill. The food was good this time, but not as good as the last time I visited. Mocktails are delicious.

This is quite a nice place to eat but was let down by a few things. The hygiene wasn’t great - the table we sat at hadn’t been wiped down and there was food on the seats. Whilst the service was very good the meal we had wasn’t great value. The shared grill platter which cost nearly fifty pounds for two was made to look like a huge offering which was mainly because there was a huge bed of chips propping up the rest of the food. There was plenty of meat for two but the Greek salad was wholly lacking. Two tomatoes at best, no feta or olives. The portion of tzatziki was too small and the scattering of feta across the chips was very small and hard to find. The halloumi cheese hadn’t been cooked enough neither. I am sure this could be a much better place to eat if a little more care and thought is given to hygiene and value for money.

Visited here last Friday, early evening. Got to say this was one of the best meals out we have had and would visit Chester just to eat here again. We loved the food and all the staff were friendly and attentive. It was like being back in Greece.

Had a family wedding here..we were in our own separate room. Food was lovely and would eat here again.

Found it by chance, and would highly recommend going. The food was delicious.

Staff brilliant food was ok but not what we expected would not go again

"Bottomless brunch" offer is disingenuous due to egregiously slow service that must be deliberate, cynical, and strategic from management to limit the number of courses during your 90 minute sitting. Food and overall experience is otherwise ok, but loud when busy.

Incapable of getting takeaway orders correct, this is the 4th order which has been wrong. Wont try again, which is a shame as the food is usually pretty good.

Lovely food Lovely venue Great service Bottled KEO 👌 chicken and beef kebabs were lovely and with the tatsiki. Daughter enjoyed her food and loved the brownie

Firstly, it was a Saturday afternoon, and the place was packed. It was therefore extremely loud. Particularly upstairs where we were seated. The large party next to us were clearly having a good time, which was fine, but add to that the intrusive music and we couldn't hear each other over the table. The food wasn't poor per se, but my burger was overdone and my wife's Gyros features a paucity of meat. The fries that came however were excellent when paired with the dip. Bottom line - it's okay, we probably won't go back in a hurry, but as a place to eat on a busy Saturday it served in a pinch.

Lovely food and friendly staff. Pleasant environment.

Friendly greeting on arrival , the service went down hill from there . Took ages to take our order and from ordering, the arrival of our drinks needed a reminder to get it delivered . Food was hit and miss , lamb kebab was meatballs and very dry and tasteless. Burger was good and moussaka was very minty. Will not return when there is such a choice in Chester

We had a fantastic meal here on a Saturday night. A good central location on the rows, above Reeds Rains. Pretty lights inside and out gave a nice feel to the place. Friendly and attentive staff. We shared a huge platter. This was a main to share. No starter needed. We would definitely come again because there is an extensive menu with all the typical Greek favourites on.

Having visited OTB on a few occasions before we decided to come again. This time however we were disappointed. For mains we had a chicken and a lamb kebab, the chips were overcooked/burnt and cold when they got to us. The dressing on the top of the salad had congealed into a goo due to we assume being sat on the hot plate for too long. £19.95 for 4 cubes of chicken/lamb, burnt chips and a very underwhelming salad is ridiculously overpriced. The chicken kebabs served in the market for £6 cheaper are so much better in terms of taste, presentation and value for money so think we’ll stick to going there for our Greek food in the future! A second thing which we found a bit odd was listening to early 2000s dance/R and B whilst trying to eat our meal, I’m not sure Pitbull provides the perfect ambiance for a Mediterranean restaurant.

The best bottomless brunch I’ve experienced so far. Delicious food and drinks were free flowing by a fantastic service. Beautiful restaurant and great atmosphere to top it off. Highly recommended this place

Took our other halves for the experience of a Bottomless Brunch. They thoroughly enjoyed it, food was fantastic 😋

Couldn’t fault the food, absolutely delicious, plentiful & excellent value for money! We had the Weds lunch offer - Gyros with sides & a drink for £10/head! Definitely recommended. Service was 1st class, and a warm friendly atmosphere - always a pleasure to go to this restaurant 😍

Came here for a night out and found this little gem by accident. The food was amazing and our waitress Evie was so attentive and nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend this place for great food and great service all at a reasonable price

Me and my husband are regular visitors to Olive Tree in Chester and the food is always delicious. Last night we went out with my husband's parents for the Tuesday 2-4-1 offer on Gyros and Kebabs. We ordered 2 x kebabs and 2 x gyros (the kebabs are about double the price of the gyros). The food was great, but things became very awkward when we got the bill. We got charged for the 2 x kebabs (and given the 2 x gyros as the free mains). We had expected to pay for 1 x kebab and 1 x gyros. When we raised the issue, the waitress explained that the system gives the cheapest mains free in the offer. We said that if we'd been ordering as two separate couples, we'd have ordered the 2 x kebabs and the 2 x gyros separately, therefore that is the basis on which we'd like to pay. After a period of the waitress conferring with a waiter, the waiter then came over and said "I understand you're struggling to understand our offer". We found this to be quite rude and unprofessional - and had to then explain to him that we would like to split the bill in the way we'd explained to the waitress. He went away and took a long time to do this, but eventually did - so we paid and left. The staff members became quite frosty with us and clearly felt that we were 'pulling a fast one' - so we left feeling unvalued as (long-standing) customers. In all honesty, the difference in the bill was not what we were fussed about - we understood that the till system is programmed in a certain way and that different interpretations could be made of the offer when ordering 4 x items - but the attitude of the staff in dealing with it has really put us off wanting to return as they made us feel like freeloaders. In this day in age, offers in restaurants and bars are really important to people because everything is so much more expensive but people's wages haven't really risen to match - and it's wrong to make people feel bad for wanting to use the offer.

Amazing food, great service and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. If your looking for a restaurant in Chester this place should be high on your list! Highley Recommend!!

Lovely Saturday afternoon at Olive Tree Brasserie - great food, drinks and attentive service combined with a nice buzzy atmosphere made it a perfect location for a get together! Thanks

Went for a meal with two others. The meal started off well I had the calamari and then the chicken gyros both items were very tasty, so couldn't fault the food, however the service could have been a lot better. We had to ask for another round of drinks, nobody came back to ask how the food was and most disappointingly we weren't offered a dessert menu or coffees. We ended up just asking for the bill and leaving. Disappointing end to what was a lovely meal to start with. Next time, it would be nice to see a waiter after the main course comes

Staff very good .. food excellent.. service perfect

Very nice restaurant, obviously very popular. We ordered the mixed grill for two which I wouldn't recommend for the price Vs food. Two single kebabs each with four piece of meat. Some cheese and a sausage served with chips for at least 4 people, a couple of pittas salad and couple of dips. Would have expected more kebab for £50. Perhaps we should have ordered individually. That said it was tasty just not great VFM.

Nice lunch Chicken a little tough Beef perfect

Fantadtic meal, friendly staff! Could not fault it! I wasn't happy that you put 12.5% as tip on the bill which I did reduced as that is far too much and its alot of pressure to put on the staff to ask for such an amount!

Great food, fantastic service. Beautiful restaurant.

lovely place to eat would really recommend. food is amazing and really generous portions. such a nice atmosphere and staff are wonderful.

Did have some work being done outside while eating food. Minor disturbance. Cal was great and very helpful.

Great food and drinks. Very poor service and communication from staff.

Excellent service, quality food, nice environment at a really good price.

Bottomless brunch - fast service, lovely food, raspberry vodkas are the ones 👌🏼! Brilliant value for money. Will be returning 100%

I went to the Olive Tree last Sunday after watching a film at the Storyhouse. The food is delicious, the staff are friendly and there was a lovely chilled atmosphere, which was perfect for a Sunday evening. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

The staff were very friendly, the food was absolutely delicious. The mezze Monday deal was very good value for money, lovely seating area outside too

Food was excellent and our waiter Cal did a great job looking after us. Highly recommended and we will certainly come back again.

Good food , good price . I'm definitely coming back ... Tuesdays 2 for 1 great value.

Lovely restaurant set in the Chester rows. Staff are very attentive and polite without being too overbearing, a credit to the restaurant. Service was quick but didn't feel rushed after paying the bill. Food was amazing and such good value for money. I emailed the restaurant advising it was my partners birthday and if they could do anything, they came out with a free cake with candle. It really made our evening. Thankyou.

Excellent, couldn’t fault it. Lovely food, and very friendly staff

Amazing food, would recommend. Including fabulous service, from a friendly girl called Ava. We shared the mix grill for two it was great!

Horrible food, I ordered a risotto and my friend chicken. My risotto was disgusting. The rice was like puree, and the chicken was very dry. Maybe cooked minimun 2 days ago. When I requested the bill, they included calamari that we ordered as started but never arrived at our table. And of course, they added 12.5% service charge without letting you know in the menu in advance. I will not back 100%. The only thing was the waiter. She was very nice. You can see she is new but very kind.

Sadly nothing good to say. Place is beautiful no doubt.. rest have no words me and my husband ordered the mezzes and 2 gyros Order came minus 1 of the gyros my husband spoke to the young man and he rudly replied well u only ordered 1.. he then disappeared then the manager I assume came said sorry shall I take your plate back while they did more food so i assumed they would do fresh plate.. Sadly assumed wrong 20 mins later they brought the food and gave my husband the same dish he had before which was kept under a heat lamp both dishes were barely warm and was cold inside meat well chicken was so dry I almost chocked we both couldn't eat it chips were cold and hard we both left all the food minus the starters so 2 whole plates of food pretty much untouched was so bad.. made matter worse we asked for the bill and the lady added a service charge if 5 pounds which is shocking as was no service they didn't even have decency to ask if food was OK as it went back with full plates .. never again.. like I said beautiful place that's about it... wasted good money and being forced to pay service charge as an insult. 45 pounds in the bin

Great little place to eat x only real greeks serve lamb kleftico👍😂X

After a long day in Chester, Olive Tree Brasserie was the perfect spot to unwind. Located right in the heart of the city, it has such a welcoming vibe. We were greeted with a smile and, even though it was a busy Friday night, we were quickly seated on the terrace for drinks while we waited for a table. The view over the city centre was stunning, and the outdoor heaters made it cosy. We didn’t wait long before being swiftly taken to our table. One of our group is gluten intolerant, and the staff were fantastic, providing a clear menu with recommendations that made everything so much easier. The Mediterranean food was outstanding. The gyros was packed with flavor, the moussaka was rich and hearty, and the lamb kleftiko was tender and delicious. The atmosphere was great, especially with the lovely olive tree as a centerpiece. We were so impressed that we returned on Sunday evening and ordered the exact same dishes! Great value, brilliant service, and we’ll definitely be back next time we're across the pond.

Great food but service could have been better. Took more than 10 minutes and 3 members of staff to be seated, and were never offered a dessert.

Four of us all ordered the mousaka. Disappointed. Hardly any aubergine or potato. Tasty lamb mince but not moussaka! Staff not interested and didn't pass comments to chef. Obviously all frightened of him as he was shouting at them .

We stumbled across this hidden delight by accident and dropped in without a booking. I'm so glad we did, as the restaurant was lovely and quiet (early evening). Staff were helpful in making menu recommendations, and accommodating in making adjustments (half sweet potato and half fries were a game changer!) Portions were huge and reasonably priced. We were too full for a dessert unfortunately but would definitely go back again.

an excellent late lunch out. at the time of our vist,mid afternoon, it was not too busy. five star friendly staff, Nichol, temporary manager from another olive tree was very helpfull. service was impeccable and a credit to the olive tree staff. ordered meatball kebab that came with half and half chips and rice inc a salad. other half had a chicken kebab with same sides. my meatballs were very tasty if a little well done. only thing i could think as not quite right. the portion sizes were huge! too many chips and rice for both of us but the place for big appetites! would eat there again :-)

Prawn saganaki - Disappointingly poor. 4 prawns in it. Definitely tasted nothing like the authentic Greek dish. Sharing platter for 2 was ok, meatballs were dry and hard though. Board was mainly filled with chips. The service was good, friendly and accommodating. Restaurant wasn’t very busy at all although we were there early evening on a Friday. Such a shame because it could be a lovely place to go with a bit more attention to detail with the food.

Fantastic evening food was reasonable and very tasty 😋

Didn't eat here just had drinks. Really nice place with outside heated sitting area. Had a lovely glass of wine whilst we people watched. I would recommend.

Everything was excellent upto the point were the waitress told us the coffee machine wasn't working. This turned an excellent night into a good night that ended poorly. We were ordering 4 coffees and 2 desserts and cancelled both, resulting in a loss of revenue Not good for business 😢

We had an excellent meal with our daughter and partner. We shared a grill and a mixed meze as well as a beer or two. The restaurant wasn’t busy as we were relatively early in the evening however, the food was great and would definitely recommend it.

The food was bland and the beef was tough, tasteless..potatoes and root veggies uneatable, burnt and rubbery . Staff lovely and helpful The place could do with a good clean ..

Some of the food was very good, e.g. stifado but the plant-based chicken skewers, whilst having correct texture had no flavour at all. The baklava was odd, tasting like a mix of mince pies and Christmas pudding!

Very good food, friendly and professional service.

Food tasted like it was processed by a microwave. It was £18 for a Kebab that should have cost no more that £8 from a takeaway. Not quite sure how they get away with it. It was supposed to be food food not fast food.

Lovely meal great service. We sat outside with the heater and fairy lights under cover. Was very cute 💖

Really nice Mediterranean Food! Loved the Mezze! Lamb Moussaka is great too 😋
