Olive Tree

About Olive Tree

Right beside Bude Canal, this is the kind of spot where you can park the pram at an outdoor table, look out at the water and posh houses opposite, and let lunch stretch out for an hour. Sunny days fill the outside tables fast, so expect a wait or book ahead — and it isn't cheap, with two lunches and two drinks landing around £45. The food earns it: generous, beautifully served plates, monkfish scampi off the specials board, wild mushrooms on sourdough with a runny egg, and truffle fries one visitor rates as the finest they've eaten. Breakfast and brunch draw real praise too. Staff are unfailingly polite and attentive, there are high chairs and a kids' menu, plus vegan and reliable gluten-free options, and the beach is a five-minute walk for afterwards.
