Olba - Freetown

I had a wonderful experience! I highly recommend this place! The food is absolutely delicious!

Mediterranean cuisine at its best – the quality is undeniable. Finally, a restaurant with attentive service where the waiter is knowledgeable about the menu and kitchen availability. I enjoyed the succulent labneh with garlic and herbs, complemented by tiny stuffed grape leaves and a cheese roll that could use a bit more generosity, rounding out my three mezze dishes. My wife was delighted with the assorted meat platter featuring kafta and chicken skewers, served alongside fries and a mini pizza topped with Lebanese tabbouleh. The atmosphere is very pleasant and peaceful for a Friday evening in January, with ample space between tables. The real pleasure lies in enjoying high-quality food with your feet in the sand, all at a reasonable price for an expatriate. I warmly recommend this place. However, the smoothies could use some improvement – they were too sweet for one person and not sweet enough for another, and the ice could also be reconsidered.

Nice restaurant with delicious food and reasonable prices, making it family-friendly. They have a special garden for children, which is a big plus. The location is excellent!

I went with my family to celebrate my mother's birthday. It was my first time in Olba. I like the white interior and the raised roof. It brings enough light to take photos. There is a children's playground where the little ones of themselves go merry-go-round and can still be under your watch. You can also easily access the beach for a quick walk through a wooden path and some wooden stairs.

Best place to seat and watch the sunset at Lumley Beach. Get a spot in one of the booths by the sand and take it all in. I love their freshly made ginger juice (raw/organic), good for the sinuses it comes unsweetened and you can add sugar to your own liking. There is an extensive choice of menu options; mostly Mediterranean/Lebanese leaning. I held back one star as they do not accept American Express credit card.
