Olea Brooklyn | The Mediterranean Brunch That Stole My Heart! 🥘✨
Just discovered my new favorite brunch spot in Brooklyn—Olea Mediterranean Taverna! Every dish was a flavor explosion, and the vibe? Chef’s kiss. 🤌 📍 171 Lafayette Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11238 🌿 The Vibe: Sunlit, cozy, and full of Mediterranean charm—like dining in a Greek island courtyard. Perfect for weekend catch-ups or a romantic date. 🍽️ What We Devoured: • Lamb Meatballs – Juicy, herby, unreal. • Shakshuka – Runny eggs + smoky tomato sauce = brunch heaven. • Grilled Octopus – Tender, charred, with a lemony kick. • Baklava French Toast – Yes, you read that right. Crispy, syrupy, nutty perfection. 🍰 Dessert Alert: Their Galaktoboureko (semolina custard pie) was life-changing—flaky phyllo, creamy filling, and just sweet enough. I’d go back for this alone. 💡 Tips: • Reservations recommended—it gets packed! • Try the Greek coffee for an authentic finish. Have you tried Olea? What’s your must-order dish?
