“ Love this place! Good lighting and interior. I’m not a fan of oysters, but I’m glad I tried theirs. Affordable and paired well with the peach Bellini my waitress recommended. I loved the steak and mash, their mushroom sauce was exquisite. My Top 3 in Durban right now. ”
“ The best restaurant in Pavilion. That’s it, that’s the review. Okay, maybe a little more. I’ve eaten here more times than I’d like to admit, and every time the staff provides excellent service. Every time the food is delicious regardless of what I order. Every time I leave feeling satisfied and eager to return. It’s not that other restaurants are bad really, but simple that I have not experienced such a level of consistency in the vast majority of restaurants I’ve been to. This consistency sets them apart, and the prices are extremely reasonable - and those factors will keep me coming back for more. ”
“ I had the pleasure of having Christmas Day Lunch at O&O Pavilion. The service, food, and atmosphere was fantastic. I can only speak highly of the staff and management. Given the day and volume of patrons we had a seamless experience and O&O Pavilion will definitely be seeing me again. ”
“ THE BEST EVER. SERVICE IS OUTSTANDING, FOOD IS SPOT ON AND GREAT ATMOSPHERE. I eat here almost every week. The staff are very welcoming. I just love it to bits. The specials are well worth it. ”
“ Hubby and I had the most delicious 3 course meal yesterday at Olive & Oil. Every Tuesday you can enjoy a 3 course meal which includes wine for just R495 from 11am until closing. There are different options to choose from for your starter, main and dessert. Every dish that we chose was absolutely delicious and it was such a lovely experience. Our waiter Tawanda was so nice, he was very friendly and even helped us decide what to order and it was so tasty. He, as well as the manager, checked on us and asked if we were enjoying our meals. It was such a lovely experience and we will definitely visit again. I highly recommend it. ”
“ I went here tonight with my partner and his family and we were so impressed with the restaurant! From the minute we walked in, the staff were friendly and the place was absolutely beautiful. We celebrated my boyfriend’s parents’ anniversary, and they loved it as well. The food was incredible! I ordered a hummus open sandwich with vegetables on top, and let me tell you — I’m so eager to recreate this at home! The ingredients were so fresh, the sandwich was perfectly crunchy, and the feta just melted in my mouth. I paired it with a hazelnut latte, which was absolutely addictive. I think this is a wonderful place to visit for any occasion. Pop in and treat yourself — you deserve it! ”

“ Enjoyed the 3 course Lunch menu with a glass of wine. Food was good, the fish cake starter was delicious as well as the foccacia, pork main was a bit on the salty side, but still enjoyable. The crepe was delightful with the ice cream. Others also enjoyed the soup starter as well as the creme brulee dessert. All in all, was a pleasant experience! ”
