Why it’s worth it

Olympia opened in 1997 and is known as a community fixture on Main Road, with a chalkboard of simple daily dishes and a bakery counter beside it. The café states it takes no reservations, so you queue, and the wait is part of the experience. Free-range chicken and duck feature on the menu.
