It has been sometime since we visited Fat Olives in Emsworth but the food and service have remained constant, from the homemade bread and butter!! to the small but excellent wine list. We both started with brown shrimps with chive butter on a homemade crumpet which was full of flavour and very moreish. We followed with beef medallions which were cooked medium rare with an excellent caramelised exterior complemented by a flavour packed jus, buttered carrots and layered potatoes. My wife had the sea bass fillet which was clearly very fresh, snow white and separating into chunks with a lovely crisp skin. We both managed the chocolate mousse banana cake dessert with homemade malt ice cream. The...
Saturday evening meal with a friend. Started with a warm welcome from Julia to her lovely little restaurant which is a stones throw away from the Quay in Emsworth. Seating times seem to be staggered so all tables were given the time and attention we needed. The food was beautifully presented and very tasty. We started with a little home made loaf of bread and butter made from milk supplied by a local dairy. Other dishes from local suppliers were also on the menu.

Another excellent Christmas get together with friends at Fat Olives in Emsworth. The food is always mouthwateringly delicious. Being gluten free is challenging in many restaurants when I go out to eat but as all of their food is freshly and beautifully prepared many of the choices on the menu are already naturally gluten free. Julia the owner is always on hand to give friendly expert advice on any of the dishes. An enjoyable dining experience in a friendly welcoming converted Fishermans cottage.
Fat Olives never disappoints, the most delicious food, beautifully served and wonderful discreet service, your wine glass is never empty! Four friends for our Christmas lunch, we all chose the same starter, goats cheese with pear and a walnut drizzle, divine! 2 beef, 1 duck and one hake, everyone was so happy with their choice, and the clementine sorbet with a chocolate marquis was superb. Thank you Julia, Lawrence and team for a fabulous lunch. Book a table now

Really nice. Top quality food. Service is excellent. Not a cheap reastaurant but you get what you pay for which makes it really good value - go for lunch.
