When you think of a romantic restaurant, I’m sure there are a couple of things that come to mind…moody lighting, gentle music, warm and friendly service, cosy seating, food that you can feed to your special someone, the list goes on. These are just a few of the things that make Olive & Angelo one of Australia’s most romantic restaurants, as rated by OpenTable and Bumble - who I’m sure you can imagine know a thing or two about dating! 

 

Situated right in the heart of Brisbane CBD, Olive & Angelo is tucked away in a cosy corner on Edward Street, just footsteps away from Brisbane River. The minute you walk into the restaurant, the bustle of the city starts to dissipate and the romantic allure of the fairy lit outdoor garden courtyard starts to wash over you and your date. A friendly staff member will then show you to your seats and make you feel right at home. We know that nerves and jitters can be at an all time high when you’re on a date night, so having the right atmosphere to allow yourself to feel comfortable and confident around your date is a key ingredient in our recipe for a romantic restaurant. Our outdoor courtyard is adorned with fairy lights, olive trees, candle lit tables and it’s incredibly spacious, meaning plenty of space between you and your neighbouring tables so that you can share private and intimate moments with your special someone. Our restaurant has also hosted many functions, proposals and weddings (including the beautiful wedding of our very own Angelo and Yuliya), so it’s safe to say that love is well and truly in the air at Olive & Angelo. 

 

Olive & Angelo prides itself on exceptional hospitality and service, which many of our guests have commented to be crucial in a romantic dinner date night. Our staff are attentive, warm and professional, where personalised service is embedded in every one of our interactions with our customers. This personal attention offered by our front of house waitstaff, helps create a sense of comfort and ease, allowing couples to make memories together which they can look back on in years to come. Our waiters are also well-versed in their wine knowledge and are more than happy to offer wine pairings that complement your dishes, adding to the personalised dining experience that will leave you feeling special and cherished. We also know when to leave you and your date alone! No more worrying about being constantly interrupted when you’re in the middle of professing your love to your partner. 

 

Finally, our food is one of the main reasons why Olive & Angelo is rated one of Australia’s most romantic restaurants. Our menu is designed to encourage sharing, which adds to the intimate experience of dining in our restaurant. Whether you order a pizza, a beautifully arranged antipasto platter or a to-die-for tiramisu, our dishes are designed to share and we encourage sitting next to, rather than opposite your date so that you can feed each other and wipe the pasta sauce off each others faces after demolishing your meal. 

 

Whether you’re looking for a first date dinner spot, somewhere special to celebrate an anniversary or just a spontaneous date night out, Olive & Angelo has everything you picture when you think of a romantic restaurant and more. To top it off, we’re open late every night which means that you can enjoy a glass, or perhaps even a bottle or two of vino after dinner and you won’t be rushed out the door.
