It's such a magical place! Everyone knows each other, it's like a big family. It has a charm that I have never experienced. The place indoors is being remodeled, outside seating is so comfortable that I didn't want to leave, there's a covered area in case of some rain, there are tables out in the open, toilet was clean and tidy. The food was delicious, the staff so friendly and approachable... I can't wait to be back!
Our first Scottish pub experience.. and we loved it. We walked into what seemed to be a private party but were welcomed in. Like Davie (out new Scottish friend) said, "Edinburgh is for tourists, THIS is real Scotland"
Really good food at very reasonable prices. Weren't sure what to expect here, with mixed reviews but we're pleasantly surprised. Welcomed with a red rose for we 3 ladies ( it was Valentine's Day), and surprised with a bowl of delicious olives and yummy Garlic Bread. The remaining meal was equally delicious, but such big serves, we couldn't eat it all. Definitely will return, and can recommend. Sure, very cluttered, and needs a good clean in parts, but certainly good value for money. Just try it!!
Our family used this establishment for a wake in the celebration of the life of Gordon shepherd
( shep ) .
Ferdous did the food for us and to say there was rather a lot of it would be an understatement. It just kept comming we had to tell him to stop bringing it from the kitchen . The food was delicious and made fresh and from scratch.
I would recommend this establishment to any one who loves to eat . The atmosphere was perfect and very friendly.
Thankyou to Ferdous at the olive tree for all his help in making a sad and stressful time run as smooth and seamless as possible.
Thanks from all the laird and shepherd family.
Went down for a bar lunch with ma mate, Spaghetti Carbonara was absolutely fantastic. He had Chilli Concarne, was also excellent.
As people have said, no such thing as a small portion there. Friendly staff and quiet environment, definitely be back for that Carbonara. Delicious. 👍
Brilliant food, service and prices. At first you are surprised by the decor but the service, friendliness and the tasty food for very reasonable prices turns the experience into a fantastic one.
In a monotonous world of hip baristas and bare brick the Olive Tree stands out as a beacon of glorious kitsch. We really enjoyed the garlic bread and melted cheese with olives which was almost a meal in itself and we didn't even order it! We enjoyed learning about Zoroastrianism from Ferdowsi the owner, and we would definately come back again. Try it if your world stretches beyond the golden arches!
Wasnt sure about here when i first walkied in, doesnt look to inviting from the outside, but my partner had been before and raved on about the food, staff were super friendly, food coming out of our ears to be honest couldnt manage it all and left quite a bit but it was super tasty and felt guilty not managing it all, the saying is true though dont judge a book by its cover.
Fantastic place friendly staff,no still portions here. First time here but will be back. Pass dishes to die for.
Always have a great time at the olive tree. Food is great, no such thing as a small portion here! Also great value.
Fantastic food as always, have been going here for over 5 years and never had a bad meal
First class meal as usual, amazing pizza and an avalanche of ice cream and fresh strawberries. Love the tequila flavoured beer.
Food was tasty and portions very large. Friendly staff and good service.
Excellent! The food is great and costs less than most other places. I recommend this place to everyone. :)
