Family Dining at the Fat Olive Country Restaurant

Joburg Admin / January 31, 2022

Delicious food served in a rustic country setting, spectacular views and entertainment for young and old. The Fat Olive Country Restaurant offers this and so much more. Situated at Stornoway Lodge in Lanseria, this damside restaurant is an absolute gem. With its exquisite views of the Magaliesberg Mountains in the distance, this is the perfect spot for a romantic dinner. You can also spot a number of bird and wildlife species from the restaurant's outdoor setting. This along with the restaurant's exquisite menu makes the Fat Olive an ideal location for all sorts of functions including kiddies birthdays, engagement parties and anniversaries. Fat Olive Do we have you convinced? If not, read on to find out what's on the menu at the Fat Olive:

Mediterranean and Seafood Fare

The Fat Olive Country Restaurant serves majority Mediterranean and seafood dishes. They also serve tasty kiddies meals and hearty homestyle dishes. Join the restaurant for a three-course meal under the stars the next time you find yourself hankering for grilled halloumi, spicy livers, or fresh prawns. We highly recommend the brie in phyllo starter - a sumptuous deep fried brie cheese wrapped in crisp phyllo pastry served with homemade fig preserve. Yum! If you're looking for something more substantial, we recommend the free range lamb shank braised in a sweet, spicy gravy. Served with either roasted vegetables or creamy mash potato, it's the ultimate comfort meal. Vegetarians should opt for the layered melanzanne for the same level of comfort and satisfaction. The Fat Olive's seafood dishes are also a treat. We simply can't get enough of the calamari tubes and tentacles. We know it might sound a bit fishy, but the lemon butter sauce is to die for.

Something Sweet

Nothing finishes off a meal quite like a little dessert. The Fat Olive's sweet menu offers the classics served just right. Take your pick from apple crumble, chocolate brownies, or ice cream with Bar-One sauce. You could also opt for a tasty milkshake or creamy cappuccino to round off your taste adventure. It all sounds superb to us. Book your table here. 

Picnics at the Fat Olive

The Fat Olive Restaurant offers a tantalizing picnic menu for nature lovers and romance seekers. Pre-book your picnic at least three days in advance to ensure that you get the very best selection of deli meats, cheeses, and preserves. The Fat Olive also offers kiddies picnics, so your little ones can join you. Find out more about their picnic selections here. Fat Olive
