The Olive Branch in Colchester

Lovely variety of food with good quality and quantity too! Well worth a try.

Great little place with excellent food and good service, best to book a table though. I shall definitely be going back.

Always a wonderful experience, food is always tasty, some lovely plant based options.staff are friendly, polite and laid back, once you are eating they do not hassle you.It's a very petite restaurant that I imagine could get very busy but it's definitely worth trying.

Delicious food to eat in or takeaway such fresh flavours a real asset to Wivenhoe. Accessible for all and fully inclusive menu that will suit everyone, vegan or not. The staff are friendly & helpful and its not far from the station if you wanted to visit by train.

Quirky little place tucked away off the High Street on the road down to the station. Syrian based food, veggie based and mainly light lunches. Interesting food and some nice different hot drinks to try as well.

Lovely little spot, just by the station. Wonderful vegan and vegetarian food, very welcoming and attentive staff and they were very accommodating of our toddler too. The pictures are missing food because we couldn’t wait to dig in 😊

Amazing food and coffee. Very friendly staff. Would recommend for a new experience of different foods. Definitely recommend the baklava 😍

I was cycling along the National Cycle Route and found this gem along the way. So many delicious vegan options!!! I had the kibbeh followed by coffee and vegan baklava. The host was very attentive and kind to this weary traveller. I’m so glad I took a small detour to come to this lovely cafe.

I have been holding off reviewing as covid has made life very tough for the food game but as life is returning I thought I would start again. Olive is a small cafe style venue with maybe 10 covers inside. We had the platter. Vaired and fresh and well presented. We also had the home made mint lemonade, at £3.50 its not cheap but it was so refreshing and I'd buy again. 22£ for 2 of us and left content. The man that served us was lovely and explained the food with passion and care. Cant wait to visit again. Well done

Ordered ahead on the phone to collect the sharing platter for two and oh my what a delicious feast. Served in helpful compartmentalised containers with warm flat bread, cutlery and napkins to go. We walked down to the water and tucked into this tasty platter. Friendly and efficient service, reasonably priced and freshly made to order.
