Situated in the centre of sunny Nelson, Cafe Olive offers modern cuisine with strong Mediterranean influence and the ultimate in fresh roasted coffee.

If you are looking for a warm Mediterranean atmosphere, friendly service and a great food, Cafe Olive is the place for you. Perfect for dinner with good friends, a catch up over a salad and a glass of wine, or just relaxing with a coffee, muffin and a good book.

A real family business, our aim is to share our idea of hospitality with our customers. That is – warm, welcoming, relaxed, where a customer is a guest – the real Mediterranean way.

Our chef has a talent for creating delicious food that fills you up and satisfies your taste buds. His menu has range from seafood starters, salads to pastas, pizzas or steaks, not to forget the yummy desserts!

We also believe in supporting local Nelson businesses, we buy local where we can and have a good range of local beer and wine on our menu, including Sprig & Fern beer on tap and Kina Cliffs and Seifried wines.

Cafe Olive – A taste of the Mediterranean in the Heart of Nelson.

Nice atmosphere but meals are not up to there price.
The lamb salad was very basic and the main chicken meals were very small and quite bland.

There are better places in Nelson to eat better food for less $.

We went here for dinner tonight on a whim a lot of other places seemed to be closed or else people were stuffed in like sardines. It was fantastic!
The food was delicious, my husband had the calamari and I had the brushetta, it was wonderful. We both had the chilli penne and the seafood was cooked to perfection. We shared a bottle of red wine.
The staff were attentive, polite and not overbearing at all.
We are used to eating at restaurants in Wellington and Cafe Olive is definitely up there!

I got a voucher deal for 4 beers and tapas. Great service and atmosphere. Tapas were good mostly just dips on tapas menu, would like to see a few more options. Beers on tap tasty, preferred the pilsner to the lager but that’s just me. Can’t comment on mains cause the tapas actually filled us up which is a good thing. Would recommend.
