Being Gluten Free always enjoyed visiting Cote restaurants but shocked when handed a I pad to check menu options this is something that used to happen in early days of GF, gone backwards cannot understand why. Very disappointing.

Great food and surroundings. Excellent service. One of the best restaurants we’ve ever found for my coeliac wife. And we live in London! We will be back.

Ellie Falloon

A great restaurant who knows their allergens! Feel very safe eating here

Julia Hewerdine

Found by luck! Best find for a long time. Amazing gluten free selection available. Staff very friendly, quick service, good selection of drinks. Will definitely be back when we visit again!

Beatriz Silvestre

Lovely drinks but I can't say I was impressed with the food. Gluten free pasta was very undercooked.

I like the breaded camembert and the chicken curry. I love that the mains have protein, sometimes at vegan restaurants you don’t get that. I absolutely loved this place the first time we visited a year ago but I felt that this time the quality got a bit worse. The menu hadn’t changed much, I do prefer more seasonal plates. The food took ages to arrive which I understand when you make it from scratch but some of it was cold. Got the creme brûlée which was very nice but the sugar on top needed to be hardened more. The area is quite bad and there were some dodgy people sitting outside who were not customers. I think the menu could be improved with more seasonal dishes, would love a gluten free burger, and that it’d be a better dining experience if the area was nicer.

I had high expectations after reading multiple positive reviews, so I was disappointed not to be able to give 5 stars. The gluten free menu only works if you don't have other intolerances and like halloumi and spinach. I ended up building my own breakfast. 2 rashers of bacon 1 poached egg 2 halves of tomato 1 portion baked beans (looked like 1/2 portion) 1 slice gluten-free bread (toasted) How much do you think that ought to cost? Now, I know I'm a Yorkshire lass and this cafe is in Bournemouth, but £8.50... that's a bit steep and worthy of an "'Ow much?" Everything about the Olive Cafe is distinctly average. For me personally, charging prices like £8.50 for a barely there breakfast is a bit cheeky. Either improve the quality and portion size or reduce the amount you charge.

Plantain and curry goat were amazing, both gluten free. Exceptional service from the guy whose name was Omid. Great 241 cocktails and a lovely all round time.
