Visited in July and I am from Jozi, best food and well prepared in a very relaxing atmosphere. Ended up eating only mussels (3 servings) will be there again soon.

Eating many times @ Olympia, I find them CONSISTENT in every aspect! The food is outstanding! Great value for money! Highly recommended. Just writing this is making me hungry - I want to go for lunch @ olympia! I don't mind what's on the menu, I know it will be very very good! I have yet to find good fool like this and value anywhere in Europe.
food from Mount Olympus in a seaside setting

Having eaten several times at this restaurant it is my experience that each time I have had cuisine equal to anything from the best eateries elsewhere in the world. The food is always interesting, always creative, always a cut above. The venue is unusual and slightly off putting in that it looks uninspiring and un-modern. The tables and chairs and decor would be at home in a cafe in the Karoo, complete with a few buzzing flies. It is therefore quite a shock to be served platefuls of delights that dazzle and charm and bring eye closing expressions of pleasure. This is truly one of Cape Town's finest restaurants, and finest bakeries, and is known to supply breads and rolls to other establishments elsewhere in the city. On two occasions in 2011 I have eaten a tuna steak, lightly seared, and garnished with tiny potatoes along with a delicate sauce, and felt that I had come close to experiencing levitation. The venue is quite small, and many gastronomes queue to get in, so it is wise to arrive at 11.30 if you wish to enjoy lunch which begins at 12.00. You will not be sorry.
