About Olivia
Comment by Bravissima about Olivia:
Olivia is a charming beach bar located on the idyllic Platja de la Miranda in the Costa Brava. This place offers an exceptional dining experience, renowned for its delicious and creative food, featuring options ranging from octopus to scallops, as well as unique offerings including vegetarian options. Customers particularly praise the quality of the dishes and the friendly and attentive service provided by a young team dedicated to delivering excellent quality. The beachfront location adds unparalleled value to the dining experience.
Many visitors have highlighted the cozy atmosphere and background music, perfect for enjoying a pleasant evening with friends. However, it is worth noting that some reviews mentioned that the small size of the kitchen might lead to occasional waits, although the majority agree that it's well worth it. Despite this, Olivia has managed to win the hearts of its patrons, who promise to return time and again for its extraordinary dishes.

The pleasure of eating with the sand of the beach at your feet is unmatched. If the food is also good, the pleasure is double. The Toro tuna and the Octopus are highly recommended. Ask for a table overlooking the sea!

Very pleasant terrace where the distance is usually kept between tables. It has high butane gas stoves and umbrellas. Fast, attentive and friendly staff. Tapas of quality and well presented. I recommend their bravas, steamed but excellent to the palate, with a mild sauce but with lots of flavor and the portion of octopus.

Beautiful beach bar with a very good atmosphere to go at night. Background music and soft lighting. recommendable TO! And great service. Very attentive and friendly. And it's nice to go to places like that :) We ask: -Bravas: the sauce is very good but the potatoes were not well done ... a little raw. -Tomato lollipop: the salad was very good -Crispy bad: it was great. Really good!! -Hamburger: it was very good. And for dessert: -milk ice cream with cotton candy and pine and jasmine water: delicious -Artisan chocolate truffles: very good. The Strawberry Mojito was fine and the Pina Colada was just right. It was too strong of alcohol and the container was small for what you pay. Site to go without a doubt!

I would not exchange this chiringuito for any other restaurant in the world: The food is simply DELICIOUS, the setting is charming, and the staff are friendly and welcoming, even though they spend all day working non-stop in the sun. We have been going to this place for 3 years every time we can escape and for us it is like enjoying an entire vacation in one day. Always a hit. Thank you Wally (if you spell it that way) and the rest of the staff for making our evenings so enjoyable.

Chiringuito worthy of Estrella Damm's advertisement. Great location, a very close service and with a highly motivated team that make you feel like a special customer. The menu is not too extensive, but quality rather than quantity with very well crafted and cared dishes. And you could not miss good background music and a bar with barrels in which to extend the after-dinner, chapeau.

A very beautiful discovery hidden at the foot of the village of San Marti between the church and the sea. Neat hut atmosphere on the sandy beach. Efficient and attentive staff. The cocktails and the fish dishes are fabulous of freshness and taste and decorative inventiveness. Really we had a great time with friends yesterday at noon. This place is so far the best straw hut that we have tried, worthy of the biggest. Thank you to the chef and his team. Continue we will come back with pleasure.

WOW! What a discovery. It is not a beach bar, it is a beach bar-shaped restaurant. We have loved the experience and will return. Great fusion type food. The cheese straciatella, the “thousand tomatoes” salad, the octopus with jalapeño sauce and the marinated chicken were amazing. Mention homemade dessert custard separately mmmmmmmm! There are no hits. It's nice, good food and the waiter is super friendly. The only negative that could be said is that it has no toilet, but what do you want, you are on the beach! ☝ Very good cocktails.

Fantastic experience:
We approached the first time attracted by live Brazilian music. We loved the treatment and the mojitos. Area to have a few drinks and also an area with tables for dinner. Careful decoration, with details, cane ceilings and candle and torch lighting. Seeing the good appearance of the dishes that were brought out at the tables that were dining, we decided to return another day and try it. A total success, guided by the creator of the menu, we dined wonderfully discovering new dishes and flavors. It is not a traditional Xiringuito, it mixes oriental, Catalan and Italian recipes and flavors achieving a very original symbiosis and at the same time of quality, since the raw material stands out from the first moment. The treatment of the entire team is unbeatable, friendly and wanting to please at all times. Congratulations and a shame not to have discovered you sooner. 100% recommendable since to everything mentioned it is added that it is not expensive at all. Quality, originality, good atmosphere, incredible treatment and good price in a wonderful environment. Thanks for a PERFECT evening !!!
