Review by Shaylee Rempel

September 14, 2024

I recently dined at Bleu Olive, and it was a true delight! 🌟

We started with the octopus, which was recommended and absolutely fantastic. For my main course, I chose the lamb loin - cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere was cozy yet upscale, making it perfect for our group dinner.

The only hiccup was the bread service; we had to ask for more after receiving just one small slice each. Nevertheless, the friendly staff and delicious food overshadowed this minor issue. Definitely a gem in Durham! Can’t wait to return for more amazing dishes... 🍽️
