Born in Austin. Rooted in the Mediterranean.
The Olive Table opened its doors over a decade ago with one clear intention: to bring the warmth, color, and depth of Mediterranean cooking to the heart of Austin, Texas. What started as a neighborhood secret is now one of the city's most-loved dining rooms — and we haven't changed a thing about the way we cook.
Sourced with Intention
We partner with Texas farmers and trusted Mediterranean importers to put the best ingredients on your plate. Seasonal. Honest. No shortcuts.
Made From Scratch, Every Day
Our hummus is made fresh each morning. Our sauces are slow-cooked in-house. Our bread is baked daily. If you can taste the difference, that's because there is one.
A Table for Everyone
Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, catching up with friends, or just craving a quiet solo lunch — The Olive Table is your place. We accommodate dietary preferences including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free needs.

What Austin Is Saying

Austin, TXMy Go-To for Special Occasions
I've brought my parents here, celebrated my birthday here, had my first date here. The food is consistently excellent and the staff actually remember you. Rare in this city.

Austin, TXThe Lamb Kofta Changed My Life
I'm only slightly exaggerating. The kofta here is the benchmark for everything else I eat. The menu keeps evolving but the quality never dips. A true Austin gem.

Austin, TXVegetarian-Friendly & Incredible
As someone who doesn't eat meat, I often end up with one sad option at most restaurants. Here, half the menu is vegetarian-forward and every single dish is thoughtfully made.
Good Questions, Honest Answers
Walk-ins are always welcome, and we do our best to seat you promptly. That said, we fill up fast on Thursday through Saturday evenings, so we strongly recommend booking ahead for those nights. You can reserve online or call us directly.
Absolutely. Much of our menu is naturally vegetarian or vegan, and we have several gluten-free options. Our team is happy to walk you through what works for your needs — just let your server know when you arrive, or mention it in your reservation.
Yes — we love hosting private parties, corporate dinners, and celebrations. We have a semi-private dining area that seats up to 30 guests and a full buyout option for the whole restaurant. Contact us at events@theolivetable.com to start planning.
Our core menu stays consistent so you can always count on your favorites. But we also run a seasonal specials board that rotates with what's best and freshest. If you're a regular, there's always something new to try.
We do! Gift cards are available in any denomination and can be purchased in-restaurant or by calling us directly. They make a beautiful gift — we may be biased.
There is street parking available along S Lamar Blvd, and a public parking lot one block south. We're also easily accessible via rideshare — Uber and Lyft drop-offs are right at the front entrance.
