I think this may be the best food in Trinidad hands down! This was my first visit to Olive House and I'll definitely be returning. The food is absolutely fantastic, flavourful and balanced. The dessert was divine! I'm not sure what the criteria for getting a Michelin star is, but Chef Chelsea has to be on her way to getting one, if not already there. ⭐ The ambiance of olive house is charming,welcoming and the aesthetic is just lovely. It can lend itself to any occasion...brunch, just got a promotion at work, girlfriends just catching up. The portions are just right and well balanced meal. I had the half chicken with the garlic flatbread+ salad and a lemon -berry mock-tail. 20/10 best meal I've ever had. Kudos to the chef and her team!Our server was attentive and courteous. Her energy was warm and her photo taking skills are top tier. The highlight for me was the decadent chocolate cake and that passion fruit sorbet is out of this WORLD. Please take my word for it n try it yourself!!! Hoping to revisit soon for another afternoon of culinary delights! Update! If a place is good you come back for more again! My girlfriends and I had a brunch date in Oct 2025. And we just ordered down!!! The food was as always -fantastic! I am not a bit cassava fan but the pulled pork and cassave cakes was saying things! The food is perfectly portioned ,flavorful and one thing I want to highlight is that they change the menu! A lot of other restaurants leave their menu stagnant for months on end...not olive house! Kudos again! Will definitely be back.

It was my first time dining there. They were busy as it was Father's day but there wasn't a long wait for our meals. My husband and I shared a ribeye steak, which was cooked to our requested temperature and was juicy and flavorful. The chocolate mousse cake was also delicious. I will definitely return

A truly wonderful culinary experience awaits at this breakfast spot! We were greeted with incredible hospitality and immediately felt comfortable in the lovely ambiance. The coffee and juices were a fantastic start to the meal. When our breakfast dishes arrived, the presentation was stunning, and the portions were very generous. Every bite was bursting with flavor! We wholeheartedly recommend giving them a visit. Booking a reservation is advised to ensure you get a table.
