The Green Olive - Great Value Meze! (Waitrose Magazine)

The Mediterranean casts its influence over the wine list too, which includes many fine Greek wines along with a choice from Italy and France.

The smiles worn so broadly by the waiters and waitresses never fade, and the service is as courteous and attentive at the end of your meal as it was at the beginning.

Once you reach the Green Olive, you will find everything you would expect of a welcoming Mediterranean restaurant. Spacious, airy, and generous garden for alfresco eating, the atmosphere is pleasantly relaxed.

The Green Olive is exactly what a restaurant devoted to a national cuisine should be. It doesn’t just imitate the experience of Greece, it evokes it. The menu – always affordable – comes succulently loaded with dishes and sauces whose traditions are rooted in the abundance of the fertile Greek plains.

We were greeted with warm smiles by owner Leo Charmantas and his wife Annalise, who is responsible for the restaurant’s interior design. First impressions told me that this Green Olive is slightly less rustic in décor than its sister in Henley.

Brighten up those long winter nights with a visit to Windsor’s newest Greek restaurant – The Green Olive. Now open in Chobham and Henley the delights of Meze await you.
