Our Story

Welcome to The Olive Branch, a family-owned Café and Restaurant nestled in the heart of Whakatāne. Owned and operated by two local Brothers, our Restaurant is built on a shared love for our family recipes, and have childhood favourites on our menu. Our heritage in Mediterranean cuisine can be seen in our dishes, and we are honoured to share the flavours with our guests.

​

We believe in the power of supporting local, quality ingredients, and source our products with our local businesses whenever possible. Whether you’re stopping in for your morning coffee, a relaxed lunch, or dinner with friends, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home.

​

From our family to yours, thank you for being part of the rich Olive Branch story.
