Olive & Zaatar

In West End, Brisbane, Olive and Zaatar brings a welcoming blend of comfort and craft. Its menu roams from firewood pizza to the grill, pausing for generously shared plates that nod to time-honoured favourites. It is the kind of place where pita meets plate, and simple, bright flavours take centre stage.

Pizzas lean Neapolitan in spirit, with playful flourishes. Salmoné pairs a classic tomato base with mozzarella and cream, then lifts the richness with salmon, red onion, lemon zest and capers. Agnello edges savoury and fragrant, layering lamb with red capsicum, spinach and feta, finished with sweet onions for depth. It is convivial food, designed to slice, share and linger over.

From the grill, rib eye steak and lamb cutlets come with mashed potato, seasonal vegetables and a choice of sauce - satisfying plates that feel both familiar and well judged. Breakfast earlier in the day leans hearty and sunlit, from a big breakfast to smashed avo on toast, while the hummus plate and falafel plate set an easy rhythm for grazing.

Whether gathering the crew or settling in for two, Olive and Zaatar offers an unfussy, flavour-led experience from lunch through to dinner. Book a table, bring an appetite, and let the good times roll - slice by slice, bite by bite.
