Though it looks humble, the crowds arriving at this Mediterranean restaurant promise greatness and the exceptional tapas-style dishes deliver. Olea's day starts with Greek-inflected breakfasts (try the 'Green Eggs and Lamb') and continues with Spanish-style dainties like goat's cheese croquettes and patatas bravas (fried potatoes with aioli). Come evening, the kitchen sizzles with hanger steak, garlic prawns and wine-drenched meatballs.
The thoughtful menu has vegetarian, plant-based and gluten-free options, including a vegan paella.
Don't skip happy hour (3pm to 7pm), which features specials on tapas and drinks, Monday through Thursday.
