The olive is the star of the ambiance at Oribu’s minimalist dining room. The seemingly humble fruit, emblematic of Greece and Corfu, makes an appearance in all shapes and forms in starters, salads, main dishes, cocktails, finishing up with special desserts, like olive oil and kumquat sorbet.
The trendy menu focuses on flavours from the North Asian region like Japanese Sushi, Korean Bibimbap and Taiwanese roast duck bao.
