Mediterranean spirit meets bayside calm
On the sun-kissed corner of Cambridge Parade and the Esplanade in Manly, Olivera was born from a simple idea: to create a place where elegance, warmth, and flavour come together. She is the sister to The Arsonist, where fire and smoke reign—but here, the heart beats to a lighter rhythm.
Named in honour of the olive tree, the symbol of peace, prosperity, and connection, Olivera was dreamt up as a sanctuary for those who crave honest Mediterranean cuisine, sparkling conversations, and the joy of shared moments.
Every visit, we hope, feels like home.
Private Dining Room
Tucked behind soft, gauzy curtains, Olivera’s private dining room sits discreetly out of view from the main restaurant. One wall glows with floor-to-ceiling wine alcoves—each bottle back-lit to create a warm, golden halo—while the centre is anchored by a single, honed-marble table that seats up to ten.
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, hosting clients or simply gathering friends, this intimate room offers restaurant energy with living-room privacy and dedicated service. Raise a glass surrounded by the very vintages you’ll be drinking, and let Olivera’s kitchen deliver a Mediterranean feast, course after course, just for you.
