The Olive Garden in Southfields is a great restaurant, often full of local South African customers.

The portions are generous, and the menu has all the favourite plus a few special things for the slightly more adventurous. The seafood risotto is always popular!

The takeaways specials are really good value for money, as well.

Decor is simple but smart, and the chairs are comfy - the space between tables can get a bit pinched when there's a big party in with you, but generally folks are good humoured about it.

Staff are friendly. Wine list is fair.

I notices the other day that a second branch has opened up in Raynes Park, so they are obviously doing well.The Olive Garden in Southfields is a great restaurant, often full of local South African customers.

Good breakfast. Probably one of the best in the Clapham Junction area. No idea what it is like as a bar.Good breakfast. Probably one of the best in the Clapham Junction area. No idea what it is like as a bar.

We returned for the themed Normandy night in April (the next 'themed' evening is on 30 April '08: 5 course gastronomique menu).
The food was excellent - fish pate and an amuse-bouche of a glass of warm liquid asparagus (you could call it soup!) before the main three courses: marinated herrings; Normandy chicken on mash (with cider and cream, of course) or an exceptionally lovely lemon sole dish in a creamy mushroom sauce; and pear in puff pastry or a marvellous array of French cheeses including a really runny Saint Marcellin; and coffee. I haven't had a better cheese board even IN France, never mind out of it!
The cost was Â£17.95 each - quite amazing value, especially as a bottle of the most expensive white wine, a Montrachet 2004, was only Â£26.95. Highly recommended.We returned for the themed Normandy night in April (the next 'themed' evening is on 30 April '08: 5 course gastronomique menu).

Went here with a group of friends for dinner on a Friday night. Was a little sceptical about the 'live opera' bit, but what a great night out - the singer was a real character and had us laughing all night.

The decor is rather quirky and the toilets might raise a few eyebrows but really add to the charater of the place.

The food was excellent (the menu was rather odd in that the entrees dont really compliment the mains!) but this is one of the best meals I have had at this price.

I will be going back very soon and would definitely reccomend this to anyone who wants a laugh and a nice meal with friends.Went here with a group of friends for dinner on a Friday night.
