When I first walked into Olive Trail, located in the heart of DHA Phase 6, I knew this wasn’t going to be just any dining experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was struck by a blend of warmth and elegance that immediately made me feel welcome. It wasn’t just about the food- it felt like a journey, a sensory adventure through flavors and spaces that were perfectly curated to delight.

I found myself taking in the beautiful indoor and outdoor seating arrangements. Every detail, from the dim lighting to the chic décor, was thoughtfully designed to create a sense of intimacy. Whether I was relaxing inside, surrounded by luxury, or enjoying the open air outside, the ambiance was just as much a feast for the eyes as the food promised to be.

Breakfast at Olive Trail? They don’t mess around. The menu was a dream for someone like me who loves variety. I was tempted by everything from the hearty breakfast platters to the delicate omelets and mouthwatering paninis. Add in fresh fruit and yogurt cups, and I had the perfect start to my day.

Dessert lovers, you’ll understand when I say this: make room. I couldn’t resist diving into their molten lava cake, and before I knew it, I was sampling panna cotta, cheesecake, and bread pudding too. Each dessert felt like a little masterpiece, tempting me to keep going back for just one more bite. Spoiler alert: I did.

Their drinks menu? It’s just as impressive as the food. I sipped on a Gin Gin Mule and marveled at how creative their concoctions were. My personal favorite was the Pome Cinderella, but the Olive Trail special coffees, especially the Boomity and Cream Brule Signature Coffee, had me coming back for more.

Appetizers like the truffle Parmesan fries and Korean wings were a glimpse of the magic to come. I couldn’t wait to try the rest. Their soups and salads were bursting with fresh flavors, each dish a reminder of the chef’s dedication to perfection.

But the real star of the show? The bonemarrow steak. Juicy, tender, and so incredibly satisfying, it was everything I wanted and more. For steak lovers, Olive Trail’s menu is a treasure trove—whether you go for the Oscar steak or the lavish 24 karat gold steak, you’re in for a treat.

I couldn’t forget the seafood either. The pistachio-crusted fish and lobster thermidor transported me straight to the coast with each bite. Every dish felt fresh, flavorful, and lovingly prepared.

As a chicken enthusiast, I had to try their offerings. From the dual-decked Oxford chicken to the breaded chicken smothered in spinach mushroom sauce, every bite was a triumph. Served alongside creamy mashed potatoes, it was pure comfort food elevated to another level.

And then, the burgers. Juicy, flavorful, with toppings that perfectly complemented the patties—it was the kind of burger that hits all the right notes.

Olive Trail is a place for all seasons. Whether I want to escape the winter chill or bask in a breezy summer evening, this spot is perfect year-round. The thoughtfulness behind every dish and every detail makes it more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience.

By the time I left, I realized Olive Trail is more than just a place to eat. It’s a culinary oasis, where every sip and bite becomes part of a delicious memory. I can’t wait to go back and relive that gastronomic journey.
