Fat Olives - Portsmouth

Lawrence and Julia Murphy's hideaway in Emsworth is an absolute gem.

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.

The food in this intimate restaurant in the heart of beautiful Emsworth is really not to be missed. Lovely presentation, wonderful service and such tasty food. Try it, you will be delighted.

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.

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.
