The Olive Tree Restaurant

Wow, Wow, Wow!!! Last night we had the tasting menu for the Flavours of Limerick culinary event, and it was just fantastic. Each course was designed to have a Limerick Latin twist which was the theme of the night. The wines were expertly paired with each course and there was and explanation of this as you recorded each glass. The chef also came to explain the components of each dish which was a highlight of the evening. Our favourite dish was the first course. Every element of the taco was bursting with flavour. But there has to be a mention for the ribeye which was cooked (medium rare) to perfection. We forgot to take a picture of desert as we dived in once it was explained to us. The atmosphere was buzzing with all tables full and the DJ setting the scene. The music was never too loud but was a great addition. The whole experience was excellent value at €60 pp. If this was on every month I would come.

We made reservations for an anniversary dinner and had a lovely, quiet table in a corner by the window. We loved the decor, it seems higher end aesthetic wise. The service was great. We had 3 different servers who were all attentive and friendly and professional. Food was great, somewhat Greek or middle eastern ish. A nice appetizer of hummus , baba ganoush with freshly made pitas. Wine was lovely as were the stemware, it makes a big difference. Dinner was pork belly and seafood risotto, both excellent 👌 They even offered us a little treat of corn on a stick with a nice spice on them. A+++ 5 star. Oh yes and the restrooms were very clean, always a good sign. Loved it.

First time at Olive tree this evening Amazimg atmosphere, food and cocktails. Gary and the rest of the staff were superb. Make sure you book a table at this place. You will not be disappointed. ps. The corn bread is unreal

No doubt the best restaurant in Limerick. We had an amazing anniversary here. I highly recommend the sea bass and the wild mushroom risotto. Staff is lovely and very helpful. My hubby had the Ratatouille moment (if you know you know!) when he tasted the fish. 10 out of 10!

Small menu with limited options to choose from, I had the croquettes to start and the lasagne. My colleague had the pulled chicken and chips. Food was very good and quite tasty. Restaurant was busy but service was frequent and timely.

We had a date night at Olive Tree and I wish we dined there sooner! Highly recommended! Great ambience and amazing service, the staff was very friendly and jovial. The food and drinks were delicious. We started off with a lovely Reisling which I'd highly recommend if you are looking for a delicate and fresh wine. I got the Mushroom Risotto and my husband got the Carbonara, we also got a starter plate of fish and chips to share. For dessert, we got the Flan and the Tiramisu Martini.

The food was decent, though I expected a bit more seasoning and stronger flavors. We were seated very close to other couples even though the place was mostly empty, which took away from the atmosphere. Also, €4.90 for a 1L bottle of water felt a little steep. Overall, an okay experience but not outstanding.

The food is covered in sauces. The big disappointment was the pavlova that had frozen berries when is the season for fresh one? Never went to a place to get frozen berries in a desert.
