Olive and Thai

Tucked inside Queens Arcade, this place proves that fusion doesn't have to mean confusion. The kitchen somehow makes Mediterranean and Thai flavours work together without either cuisine losing its identity – think Thai-spiced lamb with Mediterranean herbs, or pad thai with a proper hit of good olive oil. The arcade setting gives it a proper city-centre buzz, but the service keeps things relaxed enough that you're not rushing through your green curry. They've nailed that sweet spot where you can pop in for a quick lunch between shops or settle in for a proper dinner. The portions are generous without being silly, and they actually understand spice levels when you ask for hot.
