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.
