Had a lovely meal here for my birthday - the food is amazing! Something a bit different and special for Exmouth - would highly recommend 😀
Lovely food and excellent service. The best dish, surprisingly, was the courgette fritters! Amazing. Good wine too. Absolutely recommended.
We visited El Olivo back in March and it was my first real experience with Tapas. Brilliant service by super friendly owners and even more fantastic selection of food! The Duck was exquisite and definitely my favourite out of the selection that day. Book in advance and enjoy your experience. 🍻🥂✌🏻
A warm welcome awaits and a great choice of cooked to order tapas delicate suculant textures to inspire you. You will not be disappointed, booking is essential not to be disappointed. Come, taste and enjoy
My husband and I have been coming almost monthly to El Olivo for around 5 years now. The menu changes monthly, the owners are gorgeous, hilarious, welcoming and friendly and the food never disappoints (neither does the wine or gin!) Make sure to book in advance so not to miss out!
What a wonderful little restaurant. Blink and you can miss it. Covid measures in place. We chose 3 dishes each and weren't disappointed. We also had a bowl of mixed olives and they were absolutely amazing. We shared a bottle of wine and also had a hot drink each and one portion of baklava. Total meal came to £73. Definitely recommend
This place is extraculor!
That's right, it was so great that I made up a new word which combines extraordinary and spectacular into a superword, especially for this review.
The food was stunning. Atmosphere was bang on. Ian, who looks after front of the house, is great.
Can't believe our luck that we stumbled upon it completely by accident. Considering a trip back to Exmouth just for the food.
Ian, you're a legend!
Amazing food and friendly service. Such a gem of a place.
Moved to Exmouth at the start of the year and have been working our way through places to eat. This is definitely among the best we have found. Worth booking ahead as it it is small and popular. Friendly service with advice about the food on offer. A good balance of meat, fish and veg all served as they are prepared in proper tapas style. Good house wine from Navara. Will certainly be back.
Lovingly run by a pair of dedicated tapas officianos Ian & Lotta this smashing bijou place does it absolutely fabulously.
Tasty small plates of traditional, modern and eclectic tapas with helpful, fast, and friendly service.
Menu changes about fortnightly.
Wine list is very good, if a lil expensive.

Beautiful little restaurant, amazing food and great service. Menu changed often and it’s all cooked to perfection.
Great little sharing plates, super fresh and at a reasonable price.
100% would recommend!
Small very friendly owner-run restaurant next to the town square. Fresh selection of tapas written up on the wall each day. Dishes are good but all very rich, best had as a series of nibbles over an evening.
