Pickles and Olives Bistro

Food was very good and the staff was pleasant. Bit pricey for lunch. With tip we spent over $ 40 for 2 people and no alcohol. Would still recommend.

Had a late lunch here. Friendly (not overly) service, prompt food and drinks.
Had the Irish coffee to take the chill out on this cold day. A delight. Fresh whipped cream and sugar rim were just right. The hot coffee against the cool cream were perfect complements.
Hubby had a large sandwich with ham and peppers on a giant Italian bun. Nothing else on the plate except a pickle.
My Caprese thin crust pizza, with pesto, boccincini, and tomato was so good that my hubby (who was full) finished the proffered slice. Highly recommend.
Prices are more in line with downtown Toronto than a small town. $ 4.95 to add soup to a sandwich. Pizzas $ 12 – 14.
Heads up that the tap water is terrible (in my opinion). They do have bottled water.
Parking on the street.

Great spot with a great atmosphere!
We went on a Thursday night at 7:45 and the place was packed. We took a long time deciding because, while the menu isn’t crazy big, there were so many good options. I ended up getting the chicken special (lightly breaded chicken with a spinach & artichoke sauce with sundries tomatoes, garden veggies, and mashed potato) and it was great! The sauce was a bit too creamy for my liking, but that’s just my preference.
I found the prices okay and the sizes a good size. I plan on going back.

My wife and I decided to go out and try a restaurant that we hadn’t been to before. The Pickle and Olive in Port Perry is a quaint restaurant with views of Lake Scugog. We didn’t have reservations but we’re seated immediately. Prices were reasonable and service was excellent. There is a good choice of delicious food.
My wife had a house salad as an appetizer, which she thoroughly enjoyed. I had chicken gumbo soup, which was nice and spicy — the way I like it.
For our main courses, we both chose veal Parmesan which was one of the specials for the day. Portions were sizable, and delicious, but mine was more warm than hot.

We had a wonderful late lunch here on Saturday. I was surprised the lunch specials were still being offered at almost 3pm but was very happy they were! All the portions were generous, the food was very fresh and the chicken breast was expertly grilled and perfectly seasoned. My mother in laws salad was big enough for her to share and even I had a bit of my sandwich left over to give to my husband. We loved the ambience and over looking the lake. It was nice to be in a quiet, cool and comfortable place eating delicious food all the while paying a fair price. We treated ourselves to dessert to go and really enjoyed the chocolate cake, carrot cake and lava cake later that night. The only thing I would improve on would be the speed of the service. Although we completely understood why it might have been taking a bit longer when we saw our waitress serving a table of ten at the opposite end of the rather large restaurant.
Will definitely return again.

Dinner was great. Fresh made pasta was wonderful and very attentive host. Dessert as top and wonderful portion size. No kids menu though, so they made a grilled cheese for her and charged for a garlic bread. Will be going back for sure. Also they had a good quality espresso machine.
