Olive Bistro - A Rustic Charm

Welcome to the world of rustic charm, of Olive Bistro. No sooner than you set foot in this quaint place, one is transferred to the Mediterranean and Italian countryside with its picturesque small cafes. Each and every corner of this place has a story waiting to be unfolded. Its like a painters palette ready to explode its colors on the canvas.
The art, the ambience, every nook is so different and unique in itself, yet blends together so well in harmony as if to form a masterpiece. Everything over here is in perfect existence.
The ambience and the place is just love at first sight, sheer magical romance.
I fell in love with this place head over heels and can just keep going back for the ambience but make no mistake, till now I was just adoring the picture perfect beauty of this place.
After indulging myself in their exclusive food, I am loss at what to rate higher - the place or the food ?
The food over here is just art in every form. It just doesn't add to but enhances the sheer opulence of this place.
Have a glimpse and believe it yourself...
