The food was absolutely stunning and delicious. An amazing chef is hidden in the back kitchen. Our waiter, Brandon, was superb!!

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.

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.

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 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.
