We were wandering around the SoHo area of Hong Kong and found Olive - a Greek/Mediterranean restaurant with a great looking menu. Since we needed a little break from Chinese food we wandered in. A special night with a tasting menu prepared in person by Chef Greg Malouf. We splurged along with the special wine pours. The meal was great... More

Good place to change the cantonese flavors, it has great greek-lebanese food, the mezza is very small, they tell you that it is for about 4 people, but each dish is for no more than two, the decoration of the restaurant is nice, and the best thing is that is located at soho, in case you want to meet a...

What a great Mediterranean restaurant!! We arrived by mistake to this restaurant and my expectations were very low, but after ordering practically all the menu in a "mezza" style dinner and was really impressed by the quality of the food and the perfect preparation. All this coming from a Lebanese descendant who has eaten Mediterranean food all my life. I... More

We ate at Olive on the last day of a four day visit to Hong Kong. We felt like a change after Cantonese food and were searching around the upper levels of the escalators. We had a wonderful meal at Olive. We shared entrees between six of us and then had our own main courses. The food was excellent an... More

We (party of 6 including 2 chn, aged 12 and 9) enjoyed an outstanding meal at Olive last night. Lovely atmosphere, great flavours and truly memorable (and very reasonable) winelist.. Well done Olive - we'd come back when in town again.

Olive's food was really tasty and quite exciting. The flavours are really interesting and the portions just right. At dinner the lights are dim giving a great cozy and relaxing atmosphere even if the place is always full. Our waitress was a pleasure to talk to, polite, discreet and with a huge smile. The place is small and in the... More

It is a small place in a bustling area so booking is advised. I went there with 4 colleagues on a business trip and we were not disappointed. Every question with regards to the menu was answered straight away, service was great, the manager really looked after us and had a great sense of humour. The food was nicely presented.... More

I had the baramundi fish and my co-worker had rissotto with prawns. Both were excellent. Service was friendly and wine was good. This is not a large place but does have indoor and outdoor seating. Awesome Central-SoHo area of HK is filled with restaurants and pubs.

Starters - falafel was crispy, delicious, and accompanied by a nice fatoush salad. Halloumi was beautifully cooked and accompanied by a date jam, yum. Mains - a beautiful chicken kebab with jeweled couscous. Really tasty and large portion (too large after a starter). Rabbit pie for the Husband who declared it wondrous. No room for dessert. Good bottle of Lebanese... More
