Olio's Bar & Brasserie is a stylish restaurant set in a light and airy conservatory belonging to the Corus Hotel Hyde Park. This 4-star establishment is located in a beautiful, listed Georgian building with views of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. The restaurant dining room looks out onto the hustle and bustle of the street outside. Diners can watch the world go by while enjoying a delicious dinner in Olio's peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.
There are two chefs working at Olio's Bar & Brasserie Hyde Park, both creating very different food and flavours. The head chef focuses on modern and traditional European cuisine while the resident Malaysian chef produces exotic dishes from Malaysia and the far east. Both chefs take pride in using only the best fresh and seasonal ingredients and all chicken and lamb is Halal.
Diners who plump for the European section of the menu will be treated to classics such as grilled asparagus served with poached egg and hollandaise sauce, or pan roasted Gressingham duck breast with butternut squash purée and blackberry sauce. There are plenty of seafood and vegetarian options and lots of lovely grilled meats including steaks with a choice of sauces. Those who fancy something a bit more fiery can sample the classic Malaysian beef rendang curry made with lemongrass, ginger, sambal, coconut milk and roasted coconut. The restaurant's signature dish is char kway teow goreng, stir fried flat noodles with king prawns, sambal and bean sprouts. The Malaysian section of the menu comes with a handy spice reference so diners can be sure of finding something to suit their palate.
Olio's Bar & Brasserie is seconds from Lancaster Gate tube stop. It's also close to Paddington mainline station. With such a prime location and transport links, its easy to access all of central London's main attractions, with Hyde Park and Kensington Palace particularly close.
