The best service of any restaurant I've been to in Halifax. We were a large, 9 person group of students. Both the owner and the server, Dimitrios made sure that we were taken care of. The owner offered us an extra dip on the house and free, extra bread. The food was fresh and prepared fast. To finish off the meal, the owner offered us free dessert to share as well. We could not have been served better. Highly recommend.

Blue Olive Greek Taverna is a refreshing spot in Halifax with a relaxed, cozy atmosphere that brings a bit of Greece to the city. The ambiance is charming, and the hosts are warm and welcoming, making it easy to feel right at home. The menu offers a nice variety of Greek dishes that are flavorful and well-prepared. It’s a pleasant change from the usual options in Halifax, and a great place to enjoy something a bit different. Overall, Blue Olive is a lovely choice for anyone looking to experience Greek food in a friendly, laid-back setting. Definitely worth a visit!

Blue Olive offers an exceptional dining experience that never disappoints. Every visit is marked by outstanding service and consistently delicious food, with the chicken spanakopita standing out as my personal favourite. To start, I recommend trying the kopanisti dip, tyropita, kalamari, or the saganaki—the presentation of the saganaki is especially fun and unique. As you enjoy your meal, the air fills with traditional Greek music, with the melodies of the bouzouki creating a warm, inviting, and vibrant atmosphere. It’s easy to feel as though you’re dining in a taverna by the sea, making each bite a small escape to Greece. Whether for a casual meal or a special occasion, I highly recommend Blue Olive.

I have known Blue Olive to be one of the best Pan fried Fish in the city and even with Take out it didn’t disappoint. I used to come here over a decade ago when I lived in town but now travelling in for business and staying locally I wanted to take a trip down memory lane. I ordered the pan fried haddock and some pita and dips and it was delicious. Took a while to get my order but it meant it was fresh and warm when I got back to the hotel. Price was great compared to some other more “trendy” restaurants. I will be back! Thank you.
