Olive Tree, The

Deborah Parker (27 September 2008)

My husband and I have just returned from a lovely dinner at the Olive Tree. Having lived in the Sutton area for seven years and tried most of the restaurants, I can say this is one of the best meals I've eaten and I am very particular when it comes to restaurant food and service. I cannot believe that we left it so long to try this place out but there is no pub nearby so this is our excuse. I had the crab cakes to start and they were delicious - really light and tasty and the duck for mains and it was cooked to perfection. The accompanying Savoy cabbage with pancetta and a fluffy potato cake were devoured. My husband tried the goat’s cheese to start and again this was very good. We shared a desert - fantastic homemade pistachio ice cream - chocolate nemesis beat us and we could not finish it. It’s probably not the cosiest of restaurants but as far as service and quality of food, it was excellent.

My family and I are regulars at The Olive Tree in Carshalton Beeches and for a good reason. The food is of modern European style and it's freshly cooked, well presented and delicious. The service is outstanding, prompt and friendly. It's clear from my numerous and enjoyable dining experiences that this restaurant is a little gem to be savoured. The members of staff seem to go out of their way to ensure satisfaction, and make sure that all is well. Go there.
