The Olive Branch Café & Restaurant

Walk past the old Victorian terraces on Park End Street and you'll find yourself in something altogether more Mediterranean — warm lighting, unfussy décor, the kind of place that doesn't try too hard but somehow gets it right. You're looking at proper Mediterranean plates here: the sort of food that tastes like someone actually knows their way around a kitchen, not just what's trending. It's the sort of spot where regulars keep coming back because the quality's consistent and the vibe's relaxed enough that you don't feel like you're performing when you're there.
