Two Olives

Top choice in Port Elizabeth


One of the most attractive restaurants in Richmond Hill, Two Olives serves a range of Spanish-, Portuguese- and Greek-inspired dishes in its busy dining room and on the wrap-around balcony with partial ocean views. The lamb shank is as delicious as it is enormous. For the not so hungry, try the tapas menu.
