THE OLIVE SHED REVIEWS

Been here twice and both times I have been blown away! The food and the service is spot on. The staff are very attentive and make you feel welcomed immediately. They even serve my favourite beer Estrella Galicia.

Great little find on the way back from visiting the SS Great Britain. Service was good and the food very tasty. Nice spot to people watch as well!

We had a very enjoyable meal at the Olive Shed for a Hen Do with my family. After reading some pretty average reviews, we were pleasantly surprised with the fantastic service and extremely tasty food. The waiter even went to the effort of presenting me with a free glass of Prosecco! The restaurant is in such a lovely location with beautiful views across the river. All in all a lovely evening and we will definitely visit again.

SOUK KITCHEN REVIEWS

An absolute must visit in Bristol. Still recovering from all the amazing food. It feels like a great night out. A lovely waiter managed to squeeze us in for a booking even though they were packed on a Thursday evening. A wonderful waitress was serving us and another third waiter brought his enthusiasm and humour to our tables. In regards to food itself I have 3 words... FAN, TAS, TIC!

The food here is incredible! I've been several times and they switch up the menu often. Everything is always delicious and the small plates are great to get a little taste of multiple dishes. The fatoush salad is especially a highlight.

Took a friend here who was visiting Bristol a couple of weeks ago. It was all excellent, I have nothing negative to say! Particular highlights for me were the trout dish (which I'm still dreaming about!) And the Turkish delight ice-cream. Perfect service too, attentive but not overbearing.

THE REAL GREEK REVIEWS

Such a lovely place. Fantastic service. Really good food. Couldn't fault our experience. Thanks so much. We will be back!

I love this place! The food and service are amazing! I went with the lamb meatball souvlaki wrap which id recommend every time! And for dessert I had the custard filo with a scoop of the most amazing vanilla ice cream i have ever had. Service from the staff was excellent. It can be expensive but you have so many options which can help keep the cost down. We ended up paying £71 for 4 little starter dishes, 2 wraps and 2 desserts and 2 drinks. Love this place and will keep coming back. One of my favourite places to eat.

My partner booked a group meal for my birthday on the 31st July. We were served by Dimitri and his team, who did a brilliant job of hosting. Dimitri was attentive and made the evening so special. The team were great & the food was great!
