Love, Mediterranean Flavours and Ocean Air: Discover Olive & Fig in Sea Point
There is something romantic about dining by the coast. The gentle Atlantic breeze, the promise of a beautiful sunset and a table filled with good food make for the kind of moments worth slowing down for. Tucked away in Sea Point, just moments from Cape Town’s iconic Promenade, Olive & Fig brings a little Mediterranean romance to the Mother City.
Located at Premier Hotel Cape Town, this newly opened kosher dairy restaurant is an invitation to savour the pleasures of coastal dining, with a menu inspired by Mediterranean flavours, fresh seafood and seasonal vegetables.
A love affair with the sea
Seafood takes centre stage, with dishes that celebrate fresh ingredients and vibrant flavours. Think salmon carpaccio with lemon and olive oil, spicy tuna tartare with avocado and sriracha, and delicate white-fish ceviche brightened with lime and jalapeño.
For something more substantial, there’s Norwegian salmon with potato fondant and a citrus velouté, alongside battered hake and chips and the line fish of the day. Whether you’re planning a leisurely lunch or an intimate dinner, there’s something wonderfully inviting about a menu that lets the ingredients speak for themselves.
Mediterranean moments worth sharing
Beyond the seafood, the menu offers plenty for vegetarians and those looking to explore something different. Grilled halloumi salad, eggplant carpaccio with tahini and date honey, mushroom arancini and Tunisian cigars with harissa and tahini-yoghurt bring together the warmth, colour and character of Mediterranean cooking.
And because no romantic meal is complete without something sweet, desserts include Basque cheesecake, pistachio lemon pie, crème brûlée and apple crumble. Consider this your excuse to order dessert for two.
Your next coastal date spot
Perhaps Olive & Fig’s biggest appeal is its setting. Just steps from the Sea Point Promenade, it lends itself to everything from breakfast dates and long lunches to dinner after a sunset stroll along the Atlantic coastline.
Whether you’re planning a romantic date, catching up with friends or simply treating yourself to a beautiful dining experience, Olive & Fig offers a relaxed coastal atmosphere where good food and good company take centre stage.
For those looking to celebrate something special, the restaurant also accommodates private functions, celebrations and group bookings.
Sometimes, the best dates don’t need an elaborate plan. Just good food, ocean air and the right company. Olive & Fig might just be your next favourite Sea Point discovery.
