A Culinary Gem with a Side of Canine Love!
From the moment we stepped into Olea, the ambience radiated warmth, complemented perfectly by their dog-friendly outdoor seating. Dining at Olea felt like a gastronomic journey, each dish a testament to the expertise and passion poured into the menu.
The highlights? Oh, where to begin! The specials were an absolute delight, but it was the lamb hash, the Olea Breakfast, and that unforgettable egg dish swimming in a rich red sauce that truly stole our hearts (and appetites). Oh! And do not miss out on the croquettes!! And just when we thought our taste buds had peaked, the gluten-free vegan chocolate cake made an appearance. Admittedly, it leaned towards the drier side, but the accompanying caramel sauce was so divine, we were tempted to ask for a glass of it!
Our server was the epitome of professionalism and warmth, ensuring our dining experience was smooth from start to finish. The only minor hiccup was the bathroom situation - its proximity to the kitchen meant navigating the space required some finesse, a fact I learned after a mild scolding from a busy server. But, let's be honest, a small price to pay for the overall exceptional experience.
Olea, with its delightful dishes and charming setting, is a must-visit in Fort Greene. We're already plotting our next visit. See you soon, Olea! đ˝ď¸đđś

I ordered a kale salad, but was disappointed to find it was not made with kaleâjust a dry bowl of some other greens. The portion of dressing provided was very small and insufficient for the salad. The grilled chicken side was quite small as well. Despite clearly stating that I have a gluten allergy, I was still served bread, which is a serious concern. Overall, the experience was disappointing and did not reflect the quality I expected.
A neighborhood gem with top-notch service and a wide variety of authentic Thai dishes.

Meat eater here! I donât usually go looking for vegan food but the gluten free bun on this menu caught my eye. After talking with the cashier, a bright person with a friendly demeanor named Khyla, I was sold on the burger. Khyla gave me complete confidence that I not only wonât be âglutenedâ but would love the food. The vegan burger resembled beef in texture but had a new and distinct flavor that I really enjoyed. With gluten transparency highlighted on the menu this is a safe space to enjoy tasty fast food. 10 out of 10.
This cozy neighborhood gem boasts an inviting vibe and beautifully designed interiors, perfect for any gathering or special occasion.

The gluten free pizza option is great and the saffron risotto is delicious. Ingredients are obviously fresh and high quality through out. Highly recommend!
The spot offers an inviting ambience and consistently delightful dishes with a rotating menu, making it ideal for special occasions or casual hangouts.

It's hard to find a restaurant that is reliably excellent, especially with great ambience. My husband and I come probably once every month or two. Nearly every dish we've ever had has been absolutely delicious. Nothing has been bad. The menu changes, but at the moment the artichoke salad and the beet salad are fantastic. The pappardelle with oxtail ragu is excellent. They have gluten free pasta and understand cross-contamination - I have celiac disease and have never felt sick after eating here. The butterscotch budino is one of my favorite desserts out there. We are never disappointed and sometimes blown away. Fun cocktails, too - I love the Eleanor.
The ambience is so pleasant. They did a great job curating it. I also appreciate that they keep some tables open for neighborhood walk-ins. It keeps the vibe local and I love that if we get there on the early side we can just eat a nice meal on a Friday night without a reservation.

I have Celiac disease. This place has been life changing, theyâre so knowledgeable of food allergies and able to accommodate anything. The food is tremendous on top of it. Cannot recommend enough.
A lively hangout with high-tech ordering, quick pickup, and a vibrant atmosphere, conveniently located near the subway and local hotspots.

Fun, lively spot with great food; has gluten free options.
You order via a screen and pick up your food at the counter shortly after.
Very close to a subway spot and close to other social spots in the neighborhood.
