Dishes that are memorable, hearty, and delicious. The restaurant’s vibe is kind of like a lowkey dinner party an old friend’s place who spent a lot of time bouncing around different grandma’s kitchens in the Mediterranean. The neighborhood needs more walk-in friendly & remarkable spots like Olea ✨ had the spicy labneh & artichoke falafel for starters then the lamb stew & garlic shrimp that were both on their 20th anniversary menu. Adored it all.

We came to Olea to celebrate my cousin’s birthday for brunch and absolutely loved it. From the moment we walked in, the space felt warm, cozy, and artsy—such a welcoming neighborhood vibe that immediately makes you want to settle in and stay awhile.

The brunch was incredible. Every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor, and you can really tell how much care goes into the food. Everything we tried was delicious, and the menu felt elevated while...

Another cute and cozy spot in fort Greene. Friendly service, solid flavors and reasonable pricing. The dips and spreads were standouts but everything was good just not amazing but sometimes that’s ok. Verdict: will return and recommend!
