About The Olive Branch
Tucked into the low-rise streets of Tiong Bahru, The Olive Branch is a cosy Mediterranean bistro that leans on Greek family recipes and a relaxed, all-day dining format. The fit-out mixes warm timber, potted herbs and tiled tabletops for a friendly neighbourhood vibe — the sort of place popular with cafe hoppers, couples on date night and families celebrating birthdays.
Expect a steady lunch crowd of office workers and the occasional CBD lunch group during the week, with weekend brunchers and groups who come for the mezze and sharing platters. It’s a casual sit-down restaurant rather than a hawker stall, but it channels Singapore’s communal dining culture: plates to share, rounds of mezze, and a lively bar that fills up for after-work drinks.
Locals use The Olive Branch for everything from weekday solo lunches and relaxed weekend brunches to mid-week family dinners and celebratory evenings. Located a short walk from Tiong Bahru MRT and close to the art deco precinct and nearby markets, it’s easy to pair with a stroll through the estate or a coffee at neighbouring cafes — a comfortable, heartland alternative to Orchard and CBD lunch spots.
