Olive Press - Leeds Description
Only a stone's throw away from the bustling city centre, Olive Press is located in Granary Wharf, a peaceful and tranquil location on the banks of the canal. A modern interior with exposed stone, textured canvasses, sweeping metal staircase and exposed wooden beams, this is the ideal location for a quick lunch, when you can't be fagged to cook in the evenings, or want to enjoy a classic Sunday lunch with family and friends.
Kassime Colley and his team of young, vibrant staff make this a friendly and welcoming experience. It is a great place for any sort of gathering, when you can let the children make their own pizza whilst you enjoy an appetiser or a starter from their extensive menu.
So talking of starters, what's on offer? Sticky garlic chicken wings with honey, garlic and balsamic glaze makes a bracing introduction, but then so do spicy lamb and bacon meatballs. Coarse Goosnargh chicken liver pâté is served with oregano and charred ciabatta, and for those who can't wait to latch on to that fishy flavour there's deep-fried squid, king prawn, bream and whitebait with celery leaf and Romaine salad.
An Olive Press lasagne never fails to please - a simple dish but a satisfying one. Spaghetti Napoli, or carbonara with poached egg, crispy pancetta, peas and Parmesan all ring the bells too. From the oven or char grill there's a delightful whole baked sea bream stuffed with lemon, herbs and salsa Verde, or veal escalope with lemon and Italian parsley butter and globe artichokes.
The stone baked pizzas have delicacy - none of your superannuated roofing tiles there - the base an accompaniment rather than a conversation stopper, with the customary well-loved toppings, none more so than the smoked salmon and baby plum tomato with caper, rocket and sour cream.
Olive Press takes the requirements of children very seriously, and their own menu, designed with pleasure in mind, comes complete with some little puzzles to solve whilst waiting for their order to arrive. As well as making up their own pizza, Little Olives, as they tend to become for the duration, can choose from a pasta selection, sandwiches and garlic bread, burgers, or chicken, before moving in on the knickerbocker glory or banana split.
Meanwhile parents and favourite uncles can contemplate a warm fig and apple strudel with candied almonds and almond ice cream. A well balanced wine list rarely strays far from Italy and includes includes Thesauram Corvina, Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 from Veneto that is big and spicy with rich dark chocolate and blackberry flavours.
Excellent parking facilities at the restaurant make Olive Press one of Leeds's premier destinations for eating when it comes to business or pleasure.
For further details, including latest deals, menus and images, their Website should prove invaluable. The menu changes twice a year - for Autumn/Winter in September and in March for Spring/Summer.

Andy (31 March 2009)
This was our first visit to the Olive Press at Leeds, we have been to the other ones in the North West. It's a great location and has parking! Food was really good - can recommend the porchetta and the Olive Press burger. Good portion sizes and good value, friendly, laid back atmosphere, and family friendly – we would definitely go back.
Richie Jo 03 (7 March 2009)
We booked at the last minute and were a bit apprehensive if they had free tables. We went with little expectation and on arrival at around 7.10pm, it was pretty empty, but we had the most amazing time. We had a lovely drink at the bar before being seated at a table, which was at a nice distance from neighbours', and the food was amazing. The antipasto platter was delicious - fresh meat, anchovies, salad and olives. We went for appetisers, starters and mains and didn't feel overly full - the portions were spot on and the quality of the food was top-notch. This place is fully recommended and we will definitely go back as soon as possible. This is a fabulous place.
