Why it's worth checking out
Olive Restaurant sits on Pirie Street in the heart of the Adelaide CBD. A much-loved restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation — combining quality, flavour-packed cooking with good drinks and a relaxed, welcoming setting, the kind of accomplished spot that's become a genuine favourite for a meal in the city.
The appeal is that combination of quality food, a good drinks offering and a relaxed, characterful atmosphere in a convenient central location, ideal for a relaxed meal, a meal with friends, a date or a sociable night out in the city. A restaurant that's nailed both its cooking and its atmosphere really stands out, and Olive has clearly won over a loyal following.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 320 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular city restaurant fills up over weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table at a peak time in central Adelaide.
