Olive & Twist - Plymouth City Centre

You'll find Olive & Twist tucked away on Old Town Street, that increasingly brilliant stretch between the Barbican and city centre that's been quietly becoming Plymouth's best dining corridor. Walk in and it feels like the kind of place locals have already claimed—wood-heavy interior, proper lighting that doesn't make you squint, and a vibe that's relaxed without trying too hard. The food leans Italian with real care put into it; you're eating proper pasta here, not just something with pesto thrown on top. The cocktails are taken seriously too, which sets it apart from the usual city centre noise.
