Recently opened and already having won several local awards, Pink Olive claims to offer \"exceptional food, no exceptions\"; this is definitely the case.\n\nMy partner opted for the 'Bigger, Meatier Breakfast' (\u00a37.95), which was essentially a double-sized portion of the perfect scottish fry-up, complete with haggis. There wasn't a single thing on the plate that wasn't cooked perfectly, although i don't think i would have been able to eat a whole plate!\n\nI went for the slightly healthier sunday morning option, of the soup of the day (\u00a33.95) and a grilled mackerel fillet on a bed of lemon-dressed salad (\u00a34.95). The soup was seasonal vegetable and pearl barley, and was much tastier and more flavoursome than any vegetable soup i've had before. It's true that the mackerel was slightly greasy, however this was off-set by the crisp lemon juice drizzled over the salad. \n\nI'd definitely recommend trying the homemade iced teas. We couldn't choose between lemon or peppermint, so got one of each and both were delicious. My partner said they were the best he's ever tasted outside Morocco.\n\nIn fact, my only criticism would be the issue of space... or lack of it. Too many tables crammed into too small a restaurant took something away from the relaxed, sunday morning atmosphere.
