The perfect midday atmosphere, a central location, efficient and friendly service, able to cater to all diets, these are just some of the reasons for why Olive & Angelo is the perfect lunch spot.

The mad lunch rush in the CBD food courts are never a fun time but for many working professionals, it’s easy to gravitate towards it as a lunch option because of its convenience.

“Perfectly located at the city end of the Kangaroo Point footbridge, down near the gardens, in the corner of the city. Very attentive staff, Great fish, fantastic risotto, obscenely huge steak (slices), served WITH the rib. It's not my thing, but it pleased the beef-eaters. Staff sing happy Birthday, but the boss man is a scary-loud singer. He's obviously passionate about what they do there. We had a fantastic night and left full as a goog, toddling back across the bridge safely. Perfect way to catch up with love ones. Not cheap, but neither is what's on offer. Convenience, quality, attention to your needs, accommodating your wants. Great flavours. I did ask for salt, which was a little embarrassing, but only for the calamari, which I think needed a little umph. I love that they stuck in a few baby octopus in with it.” - Rhondda Bell
