What a great breakfast! Eggs Benedict with hash browns and bacon, vegetarian breakfast burritos and a sausage and hash brown bap, all amazing, great quality of ingredients and well served. The freshly squeezed orange juice made a fitting accompinament to the fab food. Olives offers a friendly and cosy place to meet and eat, well recommended.

Ww only dropped in for coffee but it was fab, great staff, Jamal made good coffee and everyone was so friendly.

We have been coming to Trattoria Rustica since we were young and it doesn't change, traditional food in rustic surroundings.
So why not 5stars? The Pollo Michelangelo was lovely but the asparagus was in large peices which was a disparity to the other ingredients, the electric blue cocktail was over sweet and not nice and the Affogatto was more a coffee sundae, sorry guys, but we will always return here.

What an experience! As you enter the dimly lit bar, you do feel a little underwhelmed. The bar staff are efficient and friendly but it all feels a little basic, which, I suppose , it should be if you are in an old port bar, in which case lose the neon, confused.
Then the show starts with our barman for the experience, he played us a video set on a galleon on a voyage, the quality was great but the volume a bit low in a busy bar. Then you don your coat and gloves and Jan tells you what to expect, the door opens and you step into an icy bar at -9.4 degrees! This seems fine as you take your drink, served in an ice glass, the decor is fun and icy! Slowly the cold seeps into your body, my ears started to ache with the cold, no wonder you are only given 20 minutes!
It was a fantastic experience overall! Well worth the entry fee which includes 3 drinks
