Olive Tree

Lovely Mediterranean restaurant, with the kitchen open to the dining area. On a recent stay in Bridport we enjoyed a perfect lunch of spaghetti vongole (lovely fresh plump vongole), and roast halibut with veg. Spot on. Lovely service, and chatty chef. This drew us back for dinner on another day. Excellent thin base pizza, nicely herby topping. Good prosecco. Dinner for two was £51. Often fully booked, as it was when we were there. A real find.

great atmosphere, food and simon and steffan are ace.

Great place, great food and great staff! what more could you ask for! Keep up the good work guys!

Superb!
Lovely atmosphere, near perfect staff, and food to die for!
We had lunch here and were so impressed we came back for dinner, and on both occasions the food, drink, and service were spot on.
We can recommend the Crab Pasta, Crab Gratin, Pear, Roquefort and Walnuts Salad, Linguini Supreme, and the Calzone Al Forno. Stylish décor, and good wine complete the experience.

Just a nice place to eat, good food, quick but unassuming service.

Excellent Mediterranean restaurant — pizza, pasta, and a small selection of other eclectic alternatives.
My wife had superb clams in a fennel and white wine sauce, followed by a tasty lamb tagine, and a good (if a little conventional) selection of cheeses.
I had a rich pâté to start, followed by some of the best cooked calves liver that I’ve had in a long, long time, and a delicious rich chocalate pot stiffened with brandy.
The restaurant has an OK (and very cheap by London standards) wine list; nothing exceptional, but quality solid, and a little more diverse than the average neighbourhood restaurant.
We went on a Saturday night, and it quickly filled from 6pm, with people being turned away by 6:45, so book ahead. Clearly, from what we saw, much loved by locals as well as us tourists. Service was friendly, child-​friendly, and efficient.
Prices are very reasonable if, like us, your benchmark is London.

The best value lunch in Bridport and great for dinner too. Mediterranean food including the freshest local fish and pizzas prepared from scratch in the open kitchen plus a reasonably-​priced wine list. It’s casual but stylish and the olives are fab!
