introducing Olea
Olea Lindfield was appointed to operate in the Lindfield Village Green in August 2021.
A food and beverage business based on great food and warm hospitality, the new venue will come to life in a beautiful copper building nestled amongst a created green space on Tryon Road.
Having won the council tender to open in 2022, Team Olea set about creating a chic space to congregate with friends and family over great food and drinks.
Opening for all service times, and with a focus on community, our owners wanted a high-end fit-out that felt casual and accessible to all and functioned as a full-service Mediterranean-inspired cafe, bistro and bar.
The name, Olea Lindfield, speaks to our owner's European-Australian heritage and approach to the food and service which will be provided. Its botanical meaning, Olive, perfectly reflects the venue’s green surrounds and the core ingredient used across our Mediterranean-inspired menu.
The colour palette creates a sense of light and space during the day and at night and provides warmth and intimacy for customers. Soft peach, mid-clay and olive green are complimented by the subtle use of brass and copper in the interiors, bringing class and luxury to the environment.
The choice of materials includes a mixture of high-end marbles and brass, warm woods, leather and glass.
Two key design features were a must in our space; our ceiling and bar, both of which use curves, levels and texture to draw the eye up and around and soften the overall look and feel of the space.
The venue will provide a sense of place for customers and employees and is designed for people to connect in the community in which they live.
Overall, Olea will provide through aesthetics, food and emotions and act as a retreat and resting spot for our community, delivered through a caring, nurturing, thoughtful and artistic environment.
Special thanks go to the team at Guru Projects, or our hospitality design partner, who brought our concept to life and supported us from start to finish in achieving our dream venue.
We hope our customers and community enjoy using our space as much as we enjoyed creating it.
