Olive Branch Bistro - Bruntsfield

Like its siblings on George IV Bridge and Broughton, Olive Branch Bruntsfield Bistro is a delightful and relaxed place for both lunch and dinner. Located on the Holy Corner end of Colinton Road, there's a sense of celebration at weekends as locals throng their doors for brunch with newspapers, Bloody Mary and eggs Benedict, and as often as not, nearest and dearest.

Dinnertime menus deliver some impressive Mediterranean dishes such as pork and apple meatballs with apricot and chilli chutney, and dressed crab with char-grilled asparagus and lemon infused oil. Highlights among main courses are Crombie's of Edinburgh sausages, spaghetti and tiger prawns with garlic, basil and chilli oil, and spiced rump of spring lamb. Homely favourites such as Olive Branch cheesecake and fruit compote, and chocolate torte with Chantilly cream feature in the dessert list.

The separate private dining space at Olive Branch Bruntsfield Bistro enables corporate and personal events to be catered for in charming surroundings.
