The Olive Branch Bistro
About The Olive Branch Bistro
Set on a busy corner where New Town meets boho Broughton, The Olive Branch Bistro is painted olive green, just so you won’t miss it. The ambience here is one that people truly enjoy, informal, relaxed, but also friendly and romantic. With exposed-brick walls, smart modern bistro seating and huge windows through which you can watch the world go by, The Olive Branch Bistro is a favourite not only for lunch and dinner, but also weekend brunch. The Mediterranean menu includes starter of charred smoked salmon with parmesan, rocket and balsamic vinegar, main course of Crombies sausages with sweet potato mash and red pepper sauce, although you can also opt for a great burger, and dessert of killer banoffee crepes. Very reasonable wines.
