My friend and I dined for the first time at The Olive Branch today. We found the service excellent and the food was even better. Being a vegan I was extremely impressed by the fact that there is a separate vegan menu that contains a wide choice of exciting vegan meals. I asked the waiter for help in choosing a dish for the first time and he recommended the paella which was absolutely delicious. I fully intend to go back and go through the vegan menu from start to finish and then start all over again. My friend had a non vegan meal which was a flat bead. It looked, and she said it was, delicious and we were both more than delighted with our food. I cannot rate it highly enough. Well done to The Olive Branch.
We have been meaning to dine at The Olive Branch since moving to Worcester and am so glad we did tonight as it was absolutely divine. The service was great, absolutely loved the music and the food was simply fantastic. We shared a Greek platter then I had the pan fried cod with clams, mussels and king prawns which was just seafood heaven to me and my hubby had 3 tapas plates which he said were delicious. We will definately be back thanks so much 😃

What a fantastic restaurant! For an hour or so I was on holiday... we took advantage of the days offers and in turn ate phenomenal food, drank good wine, gin and beer at a reasonable price! We have been more than few times and have never been disappointed... a little jewel of the Mediterranean in the heart of the city... made a birthday treat that little bit more special!
We had our wedding at the Olive Branch. Adam and the team were perfect hosts, having ensured everything was catered for. The food was fresh, delicious and hot, served incredibly fast! It is by far our favourite place to eat in Worcester. Also, the range of drinks was exemplary as there was so much choice of quality beverages. From the chill out cellar bar to the restaurant upstairs, the place caters for all needs.
Thank you again! Tom & Katie.
Absolutely lovely meal and obviously very popular as the place was packed. Ordered 6 tapas between two which were delicious but last two we got to were nearly cold. It might be nice if there was a way to serve them on really hot plates (they were cold) or served on those little tea light things that keep stuff warm. Service was slow but they were very busy and we weren't in a rush. So not a huge issue. Staff all very pleasant and polite.
Love there is a vegan menu , nice choice too thank you. Service good when we had it but felt ignored for long periods and stuck alone in the basement (attractive as it was tbf). Service stepped up later, perhaps evening crew. Food itself was fine, my paella lacked saffron taste but nice and hot and good portion even for close to £16. Would return, but not to the basement area.
Very delicious food served here. I've been here a few times and tried things from the paella (shared and black), seabass, greek meze and the chicken tagine. All were delicious and bought out in good time. Cocktails are lovely here too
Only thing to be aware of is that they charge you £3.55 per a bottle of water. Albeit it's very nice water but it can catch you off guard if you're just wanting tap water. Not a criticism, just something to be aware of as the staff do not make it more clear and will offer you water without telling you they're going to add it to the bill.
Absolutely loved this beautiful restaurant, the atmosphere was amazing, it was full of customers, the food was just gorgeous , starters , mains, and deserts,( yes! We had it all) staff were amazing considering it was so busy! From start to finish we loved our first visit here. I don't think it will be our last visit either
Taken here for birthday meal. Food wonderful. Super selection. Great Drinks selection. Nice special offers.
Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff.
Had lunch here with my husband and 3 kids. Very good ambience and decor. Overheard waitress say it was a school back in the day.
Staff were friendly and prompt. Ordered a paella for 2, 5 tapas for £25 and a sharing board. Excellent food. Would definitely recommend
I love this restaurant. We come here from London and are always so mind blown at the level of the standard of the food served and the level of the service that is received. We have come here with friends and family and we have never had a bad experience. All tapas dishes are great and they have week day specials on the tapas - 5 for £30. I maintain that Olive Branch serves the best Paella in the UK.
Food was lovely, the waiter was good and was having some banter with us. I guess cus some of our party are regulars. I've marked the atmosphere 3 ✨ as the table layout wasn't good meant 2 people myself + another had our backs to most of the rest of the group..
It's a lovely place to go out and eat with family and friends. The menu is nice but could change one or two things, as I wouldn't pick some of it as I don't eat sea food. But overall the food is nice.

Excellent Tapas selection. Fine wine. Wonderful location. Great Service. If you've not been...what are you waiting for?
the outside of the restaurant is deceiving and we were pleasantly surprised by the inside dining area upstairs from the bar. We had the 5 dish tapas deal and all dishes were delicious. The paella was very tasty and the trio of mushroom was lovely. Relaxed dining, staff were pleasant and attentive but not intrusive. Good selection of dishes. Would highly recommend.
This restaurant had a wonderful atmosphere! Felt a little rushed and pushed out for turnover.. but I understand why! The server was very friendly, and the food was tasty. Need to try more options next time!
Wonderful family lunch. Started with a Mythos, followed by spicy nduja & flatbreads. Various and numerous tapas followed along with a lovely bottle of Rioja. Even managed to squeeze in dessert and an espresso. Cost a fortune for the 7 of us but service was excellent and everyone truly enjoyed the meal so deserved of 5 stars.
Popped in for lunch at recent visit to Worcester. Place packed (always a good sign) but they fitted us in. Fantastic tasty tapas. Deals on the tapas in the week too. Would definitely go back.
Definitely returning back.
The food, staff, and atmosphere just perfect.
Size of food generous and so tasty .
Very busy, staff were friendly, when you could get their attention but they were run off their feet. Asked if we would like water for the table, we said yes but didn't arrive. Asked another waiter, he said he'd get it, didn't. Asked a third waitress for tap water, she arrived with bottled water!
Food was very tasty, had flat bread with tzasiki and nduja for starters, chicken tagine with rice and flatbread for mains. All delicious.

Try the tapas. Service was excellent. Obviously a popular place but we didn't need to prebook. All in all a lovely dinner
