The culinary experience here is marked by well-prepared, approachable dishes that harmonize with the relaxed and convivial setting. While the menu details are not explicitly listed, the highlight certainly lies in the quality and warmth surrounding each plate.

I do not speak French and they made an effort to help me order and made excellent recommendations. Absolutely recommend.” This speaks volumes about their inclusive service and dedication to making every visitor feel welcome.
The ambiance is undeniably one of the brasserie’s strongest suits. Francis V describes it as a “super chouette” décor with a very laid-back vibe, emphasizing the ease with which he was seated without prior reservation. The presence of indoor pétanque courts sets Place des Oliviers apart from typical dining spots, infusing a unique and interactive element that encourages guests to linger, play, and socialize.

Venus à l'occasion d'un anniversaire, nous avons été très bien accueillis. Le personnel est très accueillant et serviable. Des terrains de pétanque sont mis à disposition, très bien équipés et accessibles librement, ce qui est vraiment un plus. Petit bémol : les pâtes aux trois fromages que j'ai prises n'avaient pas énormément de goût. Je regrette un peu mon choix. Mais l'ambiance générale est très agréable. Je recommande!

Des plats incroyables (je recommande les croquetas à partager), un service impeccable, une très bonne ambiance cosy, le petit + : la possibilité de jouer à la pétanque à l'intérieur du restaurant !

Nous avons passé un excellent moment au restaurant Place des Oliviers. Le cadre est vraiment agréable, idéal pour se détendre entre amis ou en famille. Un grand merci tout particulier à Charlène pour son accueil et son amabilité exemplaire. Son sourire et son professionnalisme font toute la différence et rendent l'expérience encore plus plaisante. C'est rare de recevoir un service aussi attentionné ! Côté cuisine, les plats sont savoureux et l'ambiance pétanque apporte un vrai "plus" convivial. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir

Une table de 14 un dimanche, et nous avons pu manger tous ensemble en même temps, ça c'est agréable. C'est tjs une crainte lorsqu'il y a une grande tablée. La déco est top , le personnel est sympas. Les plats étaient bons. Merci !
