Wonderful restaurant with delicious food, exceptional service and great ambience. Andrea's warmth and enthusiasm is infectious and she has passed it onto her staff who are great. Highly recommend Olives and Plates which has become my restaurant of choice for all occasions. Can't wait to be back. Highly recommend the ricotta hotcakes for brunch, the butternut and sage pasta for lunch and their lamb chops or fillet steak for dinner.

I had the pleasure of meeting the owner today while out for a very special lunch with my Mom... we had the most incredible meal, enjoyed fantastic service and then treated to a delicious piece of cake. You managed to make my special lunch with my Mom even more special.... thank you so much! I would highly recommend this restaurant. My favourite restaurant in Joburg by far.
A very vibrant place with good food and great service.
Great food and free secure parking. Limited wine list by the glass
AMAZIIIING. Everything was so yummy I did not get to take a pic. The staff are great too and the dessert selection is lovely. We were seated in the outside area which was cooler & quite (inside was full due to the weather) had the tapas starter to share (added the best calamari I have ever tasted), portions are generous and had some fresh gluten free chocolate cake to end it all off with. I will definitely be back soon
The service was impeccable and the food was just as amazing. A bit too small. I love finer details and they have one of the most beautiful glasses. The staff was friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back
I love this restaurant! I’ve been here a few times and have tried most of their delicious salads that are made with the very best ingredients and are all delicious and more than enough for a wholesome lunch. The service is excellent and I love the ambience too!
Olives and Plates in Sandton has one of the best breakfast selections around. Their menu consists of classic dishes with a modern edge.
Their decor is outstanding - elegant and classy. Their service is friendly and attentive.
Definitely worth a visit for a casual weekday breakfast.

All I can say is wow! I used to frequent the Olives at Wits in my Uni days and the food there was always good and affordable. The sandton branch is great, the decor is nice and the food look and tastes amazing, great quality and a great price.
The panko chicken was tender, juicy and extremely tasty, big portion so go hungry. My partner had the tagliata steak, which was a bit on the sweet side but still delicious.
Staff were friendly and efficient.
Definitely going back for more!
Unusual these days to go to a restaurant for a simple meal, and come away having had a really pleasant and relaxing experience. From the attentive service (Tendai), to the great décor and comfort and of course the truly delicious food, everything was 5 stars plus. Good also to see the hands-on and very active involvement of the owner / manager, who still had time to share a few words with us. Will most definitely be back. World class!
I had grilled fish and Mediterranean veggies which I thoroughly enjoyed! Such a great spot with a beautiful modern interior 😍 the food presentation is incredible!
Beef fillet covered with rocket and balsamic vinaigrette, speedy service, great location, great atmosphere. Pity I didn’t have time to try out the deserts. I will be coming back again to explore this menu.
This place did not disappoint. I have been eagerly wanting to come and it was incredibly cute. We only came for the dessert and they had so much to choose from. The giant table with all the different cakes was really fun to look at. We ended up getting the carrot cake which was really tasty. Even though they were closing soon, they still provided great service.
Olive & Plates is a wonderfully charming establishment nestled within a bookstore, boasting delightful and adorable decor. The service is top-notch, thanks to the welcoming and accommodating staff. As for the cuisine, it's nothing short of outstanding. My steak, in particular, was so tender it practically melted in my mouth, surpassing the quality of some specialized steak restaurants I've frequented. I wholeheartedly recommend Olive & Plates for a lovely date, a casual gathering with friends, or even a relaxed family lunch or dinner – it's versatile and suits every occasion.
It is surprising the quality of food that this place can provide while being situated inside another store. The food and drink were excellent, better than a lot of very expensive restaurants. The service was great, unobtrusive, and attentive, with nobody constantly asking how we were doing. The cakes were excellent for pudding. I will highly recommend this place. You will leave full and not need any other food for the day!
What an amazing restaurant. Situated between books on the on side and an amazing viee on the other this restaurant has a real charm about it. Each table is meticulously decorated and every plate is well presented making it a true feast for the pallet and the eyes. Pricing wise it is a bit more expensive than some of the other restaurants, but it is an amazing place to relax, browse around between the books and have a coffee and something light to eat.
We had another amazing family night out here.
Great atmosphere. Super service. Food and cocktails are always a hit.
Olives and Plates Hyde Park, was simply amazing from the food to the service to the decor. Clayton was our server and did any amazing job, I had the paw paw fruit salad, was very big but really really tasty. We also ordered the toasted cheese and chips , the croissant with jam and cheese was super flakey and delicious. Will definitely go back, food was fresh and delicious 😋 👌
They served me the best eggs benedict I've had in my life. We arrived 20 minutes after the breakfast cut off time and they were still able to accommodate our eggs benny order. We got the Oak Smoked salmon Eggs Benedict on a croissant and the OG Burger, Mimosas and a Pineapple Digestive. Everything was very flavorful and got us wanting to come back very soon. The service was absolutely perfect and the ambiance was beautiful and glorious. Amazing experience.
I really liked the setting of the restaurant, and the staff is quite helpful and kind. The food is also great, would definitely come back again!
Friend advised can come through during dinner for a nice night view ~
Amazing food, with a great cozy view (If you get a window seat). The resturant is gorgeous!
The service was fantastic and so were the cocktails 🤞
The place is quite busy so I would recommend you make a reservation as opposed to just walking in. We had to wait for about 20min for a table and it was definitely worth the wait! The food was scrumptious and the service was top notch!! I loved the book store (well I love reading) which gave the restaurant part to have some sort of hidden gem (you have to walk through the bookstore to get to the restaurant).
I had the lamb shank which was so tender and off the bone, my friend had pasta and the other had a chicken meal whose name I cannot remember. Their mimosas were to die for, I highly recommend!
