The Olive Cafe
Mediterranean flavours in the heart of Saltaire's UNESCO village.
A beloved neighbourhood spot
Tucked into the cobbled streets of Saltaire's UNESCO World Heritage village, The Olive Cafe serves Mediterranean-inspired breakfasts, lunches and dinners with the warmth of a family-run kitchen.
Everything is made with care, served at a relaxed pace. Dogs are welcome, outdoor seating spills onto Bingley Road, and you'll always find a friendly face behind the counter.
