Olive Tree Allerton is a Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant at 165 Allerton Road in Liverpool. Its warm, casual dining room is designed for family meals, groups and relaxed dinners, with table reservations available throughout the week.
Cold dishes such as hummus, cacik, spicy ezme, olives and stuffed vine leaves create a natural meze opening. Calamari, grilled halloumi, sucuk, falafel and small chicken or lamb skewers add hot dishes that can be mixed and shared across the table.
Charcoal grilled chicken, lamb chops and mixed grills form the centre of the menu, joined by moussaka, seafood, salads and pasta. Vegetarian platters and vegetable dishes provide substantial alternatives, while larger mixed meze and grill platters work well for groups.
The restaurant combines traditional recipes with a contemporary presentation and makes use of seasonal ingredients where practical. Wine, beer and soft drinks accompany the food, and delivery offers another way to enjoy the broad Mediterranean menu at home.
Address: 165 Allerton Road, Liverpool L18 6HG, England
