Tonight is the end of an era, the last service in Les olives, we would like to thank all our customers for the tremendous support you have given us over the last twelve years, it is scary to think about the amount of scallops, wild bass and fillet steaks we cooked and served during that time !

We are running a charity sale of some of our pictures, many of you have offered money for these, well now is the time so start bidding, you have until the 17th of June midnight. Go to restaurant menu page then charity sale to see the progress, for bid Email us at lesolives@eircom.net or text 0871310020 with your name telephone number and bid, do not ring this number no one will answer it, good luck

Again sincere thanks and keep an eye on our site for what is coming next....

Maeve, Olivier and team 

The restaurant will be closed for a few days for refurbishment and on Friday the 23rd, Les Olives Wine and Grill will reopen with a new look and approach to food.

We will serve food to complement the restaurant's new approach to wine, serving Tapas and Sushi with a wide range of wines by the glass, you will be able to buy wine from our cave to take home and even choose your own bottle for your meal, be a three course dinner with family and friends or relaxing after a hard days work with a glass on the way home and a few nibbles.

Grilled Meats and fresh fish are still on the menu, and home made dessert to end on a sweet note.

See you soon for a wonderfull evening, serving Tuesday to Saturday from 6 pm

We will also open Thursday and Friday lunch during December from 12.30

This is our second Winebunch dinner, this time Tuscany and games are on the menu, Montegrossi is one of the top Chianti house, making classic wines from Sangiovese in a traditional way, like any good Tuscan winery, they also have a "Super Tuscan" and one of the best Vin Santo I have ever tasted, rich, sweet, without the alcoholic flavour found in cheaper version, this is wonderfull! I know why Robert Parker gave 97 to this wine.

I hope to see you in the restaurant on the 29th for another fantastic evening, hosted by Seamus Daly of Quintessential wines, starting at 7.30 with a glass of Proseco, as usual booking is essential.

We are sorry to inform you that our Portlaoise branch is closed since the end of August, anyone with a gift voucher can still use it in Naas.

Thank you to our customers who supported us

We are Proud to host a special dinner on Monday the 15th of October, hosted by Mr Donn Reisen, owner of renowned Ridge Vineyards, the only Californian wine sold ''En primeur''

The menu will consist of 6 different courses matched with the delicious wines of Ridge, with the famous Monte-Bello Bordeaux varietal wine, one of the most expensive Californian on the market.

The Dinner is sponsored by James Nicholson Wines which is why we can offer such a special deal at only €80 and booking early is a necessity as places are in short supply

Contact the restaurant for booking 045 894788 or James Nicholson Wines on 1890 667799 Web site www.jnwine.com

This is now official, Les Olives is on the way to open on the Avenue at Whitewater Newbridge.

Following last week 4 days fashion show at Whitewater, it was unveiled that Les Olives will open in the fall on the Avenue.

We kindly sponsored Wine , Bites and refreshment for the VIP evening, hosted by model Glenda Gilson.

We will have something different there, so keep an eye on our news page and see you there on opening night

On the 25th of April this year we will be open 10 years! To some we seem to be here longer, to others we were always there, but we would like to take this opportunity to thanks all our customers for their support over the years.
