THE PLACE
Decked with tall palms, lush greenery and white wicker furniture, the restaurant offers an al-fresco all-day dining experience. The bar sits charmingly under a blue tiled roof.
A little sun-kissed, a little windblown and decidedly lazy, Olive settles into its gorgeous space under the sun.

THE STORY
The multi-award winning Olive Bar and Kitchen Pvt Ltd., with prominent locations in New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore owns and manages the Goa property as well, however, under the franchise taken by the APRA Motels.
“After 17 years of hesitating to bring Olive to Goa, since we were certain we wanted the perfect spot for it, we are now all set in Vagator, beautifully perched atop a cliff with a view. Olive is synonymous with Goa in many ways and we had to make the two meet” shares AD Singh, founder & MD of the Olive Group of restaurants.
