Olea Restaurant

J

Tried out Olea Restaurant for an early Friday dinner. Not too busy, we’d made reservations a day in advance. Service was friendly but not particularly knowledgeable.- Bread plate - complimentary- Kid pizza ($12.00) - simple tomato sauce pizza- Grilled calamari ($20.00) - tiny piece- 3x Dinner prix fixe ($50.00) - albacore tuna, melon & prosciutto, lamb kofta, confit duck leg, bombolone and chocolate cremeaux. Tuna was nicely medium rare, not enough prosciutto between the cantaloupe and honeydew. Lamb skewer was gamey, enjoyed the pickled vegetables. Duck leg was decent, carrot velouté underneath was tasty. Italian doughnut was serviceable, chocolate cremeaux was better3.5 stars.

Was extremely surprised. I had no idea this place existed. The food was absolutely stunning and delicious. An amazing chef is hidden in the back kitchen. Our waiter, Brandon, was superb!! I haven't had such amazing service in a very long time. They had better hang on to him. If you want high end flavour and presentation, this is the place for you. We had the YYC tasting menu, and it was worth every penny.

Absolutely loved our experience at Olea. The atmosphere is super cool and lively and the service was top-notch, pecial shoutout to Souriya, who took amazing care of us!We started with the bacon and manchego dates (they were banging!), plus the arancini balls, which were crispy, rich, and full of flavour. For mains, we had the tropic thunder and the pepperoni pizzas, and both were unreal. Chocolate Mousse for the desert was the perfect end the meal. Perfectly cooked, great balance of toppings, and seriously tasty.To top it off, the cocktails were creative, well-balanced, and really elevated the whole experience. Great food, great drinks, great vibes. Can’t wait to come back.

Had an amazing dinner at OLEA. The food was spectacular, shared a potato donut appetizer which was mind-blowing, then shared the spaghetti with wagyu meatballs and the Haida Gwaii Halibut w/ Gnocchi, Crab and chili crema, Ratatouille and green pea puree. Yummers! This is definitely my go-to restaurant. It is absolutely fabulous and the atmosphere was wonderful and the service was top notch! Parking was very good, there is a parking lot at the back and you just have to register your plate with the restaurant so it's paid for. Highly recommend!

I met a friend for a weekday lunch at Olea and will definitely be back. It was an early lunch date and we had the place to ourselves. We were served by Eliza who is the GM and the service was terrific.The whole menu is well marked for dietary considerations and everything looks so interesting. We decided to share a couple of dishes so that we could taste more things, ordering the piri piri chicken with warm chickpea salad and a roasted beet and arugula salad. They were both beautifully plated and DELICIOUS. I can't wait to return for the bacon wrapped dates, endive salad, and roast brussel sprouts. And the chorizo potato dish from the brunch menu...There's also a beautiful covered patio with blankets and space heaters, which looked so inviting. The place is pretty big, actually, with a cou

My bocadillo was excellent and the salad lovely. Too bad the espresso machine wasn't working, but my friend and I enjoyed our lunch very much.

We had the beef tartare and wagyu meatballs and spaghetti, both amazing! Would recommend

We went on a rainy Sunday evening and there were only 2 other tables so it was quiet and the food was all a 10/10 and the server was great.

Went for brunch with a girlfriend and my daughter and we had a wonderful time. They were super accommodating.

great staff, fun "innovative" menu and enjoyable ambience ....accommodated our family for a nice birthday party of 7.
