Intimate venue, attentive and knowledgeable staff and food so amazing we dined there both nights of our holiday. Forget about the overpriced and pretentious ‘Bohemia’ and make ‘The Green Olive Restaurant’ an integral part of your trip to Jersey!

We booked a table here based on the reviews on TripAdvisor and we weren't disappointed. The restaurant is tucked away and up some stairs - felt as if we were visiting someone's flat! The restaurant was busy when we arrived and there was a bit of confusion about our booking as it had been booked under my first name not... More

Super atmosphere with excellent service. The mussels were amazing and the scollops were cooked to perfection. Very impressed and would recommend. Quite expensive though.

Tucked away in a non-descript St Helier back street this small restaurant works hard to provide consistently good food and service. The menu rather reflects the restaurant in that it's not huge but each of the dishes is thoughtfully and carefully put together. The food which is mainly fish, chicken or vegetarian is imaginative. Recently refurbished and certainly worth a... More

We had a lovely dinner at The Green Olive. We have to be careful as my husband goes into anaphylactic shock if he eats certain seafoods and on telling the staff they did all they could to ensure there were no fish ingredients, offering lots of alternatives and checking ingredients to the last detail. They also did this cheerfully and... More

I was on holiday in St Helier over Easter and, after a long morning walk, was roaming the streets looking for an interesting lunch venue. We noticed the Green Olive's street sign (which pointed out that trip advisor recommended it) and went in. The menu is fantastic and we could have ordered any number of dishes but settled on the...

Having booked our table before the restaurant reopened we were really upset when shown to our table which was in the entrance to the toilets, and I could almost touch the doors had I been seated. When we refused the table we were offered no apology, and no alternative. Our name was near the top of the list, there were... More

Old favourite in Jersey and we always have a superb time at this little beauty. You will definitely not be disappointed - the food, staff, service and ambience is all very, very good. Get yourself there to try it out. Seabass and scallops are excellent choices!
