Olive Terrace Bistro

The staff were super friendly and even entertained our one year old. A high chair was ready before we arrived, and they checked in often. The food looked amazing and the place had a classy, high end feel. I had ribs and my wife had risotto; both good, though the rib sauce was a bit too sweet and the risotto just okay. My dark hazelnut hot chocolate wasn’t very dark. Great service and style, just needs a little more from the kitchen, especially considering the price.

I am such a happy customer! Our entire experience from checking in at the Tulbagh hotel to sitting down for breakfast at the Olive Bistro was absolutely amazing. I have never met staff more friendlier, warm and so welcoming like the hotel and restaurant belongs to them. We travel quite a bit across the globe and locally and Tulbagh Boutique hotel and Olive Bistro will definitely see us often! Their service was just next level and they do all these little cutest things like warming up the beds with hot water bottles while we away having dinner, warming up the room while we not in the room at night. Collecting our ironing and doing it for us at no extra cost. These are only but a few things we were blown away with. The food at the Olive Bistro was absolutely delicious and the service was just on a world class level. We now want to make this a monthly trip to Tulbagh and want to tell mamy people about this gem of a place!

The food is magnificent , friendliest staff, beautiful, spacious bedrooms and overall just an awesome restaurant in The Tulbagh Boutique Hotel.... ❤❤

Beautiful views, peaceful atmosphere and friendly staff. The pizzas were quite good!

What a find! I'd go to Tulbagh just to eat here again. All three our meals were top quality and very tasty. The decor is modern and smart and we loved the large fireplace heating us on a cold Winter's day. Staff are friendly and we appreciated the unexpected little mahala starter with butternut dip - such gestures always work! If I had to find something that could improve, it would be that the ladies' room in the hotel really smelled of damp and mold, but that was far from the stunning restaurant. I can't wait to return to try other dishes on this menu too.

The outdoor seating at the front of this establishment appears very relaxed and comfortable but we found the rear smoking section to be very charming and secluded lending itself to a long, relaxing and inspiring dining experience. The waitress was very friendly but somewhat unprepared and uninformed about the menu. The menu and cocktail options were not quite what we had hoped for and we felt that the options were too expensive to gamble on should you not like what you get. The mussel starter was however an absolute delight and we recommend it wholeheartedly!

One of the best dining experiences in a while. The staff are all very friendly and pleasant. The food was great (I had the Rogan Josh lamb), the atmosphere and decor were inviting and charming. With the lovely fireplace giving it a cozy feel. My pizza (for takeaway) took a while though. But I had lovely interactions with different staff members while waiting. Almost forgot: the carrot cake was mouthwatering! Simply delicious!

We've been coming here regularly for several years now and always look forward to it. The service is good, the staff attentive and courteous. The quality of the food has been consistently excellent for years, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Definitely a restaurant for a special occasion, but also for a delicious meal for two. Definitely worth a visit.
