Why Olive & Angelo is the Perfect Lunch Spot 

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. Whether you’ve been stuck in the office all morning, out on site or working from home still in your pajamas, Olive & Angelo is the perfect midday escape. Our outdoor garden courtyard has a classic Italian alfresco charm where you’ll be greeted by warm, natural light, lush greenery and beautiful Italian decor. 

 

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. The food is often average, the lines are horrendous and trying to find a table doesn’t make for a relaxing lunch break at all. Olive & Angelo is strategically nestled in an incredibly central spot - Edward Street, in the heart of Brisbane CBD, making it the perfect alternative for those wanting a delicious and high quality lunch meal but in a relaxed, comfortable setting. Located right by Brisbane River, local shops and plenty of public transport, the accessibility of our restaurant makes for a seamless desk getaway, whether you’re heading there from the office, between meetings or just enjoying a leisurely day out. We’re also a stone's throw away from the Botanical Gardens, so you can grab a takeaway pizza and enjoy the fresh air! 

 

At Olive & Angelo, we pride ourselves on a balanced service that’s unrushed, yet efficient, so that you’re not waiting your entire lunch break for a meal, leaving only 5 minutes to scoff down your food. From the moment you’re seated, our friendly staff create an atmosphere of ease, giving you space to settle in and scan the menu. Our beautiful courtyard makes for the perfect setting for a relaxed lunch time work meeting or team get together. There’s never any pressure to order immediately and there’s certainly no sense that you’re being pushed out the door.  Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch time catchup with colleagues or a long boozy corporate lunch, our staff are here to cater for all of your lunch time needs.Who knew efficient, delicious and authentic Italian food could be so accessible during your lunch break. 

 

Now, if you’re still not convinced that Olive & Angelo is the perfect lunch spot, we cater to all diets! Whether you’re vegan, dairy-free or gluten-free, we have options for you. We know that it’s difficult to find a spot that ticks everyone’s boxes but at Olive & Angelo, your coeliac colleague won’t have to settle with a salad as the entire team indulges in a doughy pizza. Our hand-made pizzas and pastas can be made gluten-free and vegan and yes, they’re still delicious - just read our reviews! 

 

“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
