The Olive Tree in Bristol, City of

Gran servicio, así que estoy de vuelta de nuevo! Comida a un precio muy razonable. Tenía lubina que estaba delicioso y uno de mis amigos tenía carne stifada, de nuevo encantador y el otro tenía pollo tagine también encantador. Sirvió discretamente y no sentimos prisa con nada y tuvimos un tiempo encantador. Definitivamente volveré, gracias.

Disfruté de una primera visita muy agradable aquí para celebrar mi cumpleaños a finales de marzo. Aunque situado en una zona muy concurrida el restaurante es tranquilo por dentro, y espacioso y cómodo. Aprovechamos el Menú Saver, disponible de 12 - 4 de lunes a sábado, que representaba muy buena relación calidad-precio. La música de fondo está en un volumen sensato. El servicio era eficiente y amable. Los entrantes Calamari & Whitebait eran muy buenos, tenía Moussaka para mi principal que estaba bien, y mi amigo disfrutó de su envoltura. Los postres también estaban bien y el café turco fuerte! El agradable jardín de la parte trasera fue una sorpresa! Lo recomendaría.

Llamamos para comer tarde y la comida era preciosa. El servicio también era muy bueno y el precio era muy bueno. Tenía pescado con puré y tenía el tamaño de porción justo. Mi pareja tenía carne de res stifada y de acuerdo sobre el tamaño de la porción, así que gracias olivo, sin duda volveremos y recomendaremos.

Gran ambiente, personal atento pero no abrumador! La comida era buena, y a un precio razonable! ¡Primera visita, pero definitivamente regresaré! ¡Gracias por una gran noche!

Visité aquí para el almuerzo en marzo! Tienen un menú de almuerzo que es de 1 plato por £ 11. 50 , 2 platos por 15 £ o 3 platos por 19 £ . Calamari para empezar servida con salsa tártara que era súper crujiente y había un montón de salsa! Seguido de cordero kofta para principal, servido con patatas fritas y ensalada. El cordero estaba delicioso y tenía tanto sabor!

I took my mum and stepdad to the olive tree for Sunday lunch today and had an amazing meal. We were sat in the garden area with the wonderful sunshine. Didn’t feel rushed and the waiter couldn’t have done more for us. Thanks for an excellent meal

I had lunch in this restaurant?? Today 16th of December it was a complete rip off very poor service food poor quality very disappointed

Having recently celebrated my birthday anniversary we were invited to join some very good friends here, for dinner. It was a very generous treat to us both, as my birthday gift. This restaurant was our friend’s choice; as they had dined here previously: enjoying the food, service and ambience. As we would, no doubt, be enjoying wine, we had decided to take the City Centre bus service which routes through Fishponds. This provides very convenient bus-stops, that are only a short-walk at both ends of our journey. My Partner and I were first to arrive at the restaurant, so we set-about looking at the menu whilst sipping a wine ordered ahead of our friends arrival. The wine here is sold by the bottle, or by the glass; but the wines are not named on the menu. The wine is basically sold by country, type and colour; fortunately we chose well with the Spanish dry white. This wine had a flavour and style similar to a Verdejo, and was ‘very drinkable’. We continued taking wine by the glass throughout the meal, with the two ladies and myself drinking the white, and the other host drinking red, and then finishing with a glass of Raki as a digestif. Our friends soon arrived and joined us at the table we had chosen next to the window, looking out onto the busy Fishponds Road. The restaurant was also very busy with a large family table in the centre of the room with parents, their children, and possibly some grandparents. The children were very well-behaved over what was an extended meal which was already well-underway when we arrived. A little later a private party in the rear private dining-room was beginning to get noisy; at times the noise from their disco was very loud. The party ‘music’ was a blend of Eastern Mediterranean influenced tunes with a heavy thumping beat. This was a steady background noise that became very noticeable as waiting staff, and possibly party-goers, opened the connecting door between the private dining-room, and the restaurant/bar. Our waiter apologised a few times about the noise, which on occasions drowned out the gentle background music in the main dining room. Sporadically the noise made it difficult to talk amongst ourselves. We ordered mezzes of ‘Mixed Olives’ shared by our hosts and my Partner (I don’t ‘do olives’). Our friends had vegetarian mezzes as mains; the ‘Halloumi Cheese’, a mezze of Chips, and the ‘Saksuka’ mezze; the latter being fried aubergine with courgette, onion, peppers and tomato in a tomato sauce. The plan was to share these plates between themselves, but as they sat diagonally oppositive each other this was impractical. My Partner had the ‘Classic Prawn Tava’ mezze as starter which was very good, and I enjoyed the excellent ‘Moroccan Chicken Tagine’ mezze as a starter. For mains my Partner and I both had the ‘Lamb Shish’, with my Partner choosing Chips, whereas I chose to have rice, these plates were accompanied by a good sized and excellent side salad. The Shish was a substantial serving of very tasty pieces of well-trimmed chargrilled lamb which was vey firm (some would say tough). Cut small it was still quite chewy, but perfectly edible and much enjoyed (all of it). The two ladies declined to take dessert, but the chaps took Baklava, and (three-flavour) Ice Cream (I had the latter, but regretted not ordering the Baklava which looked (and apparently was) very good. Service at all times was great and really very friendly.
