The Olive Tree, Restaurant and bar in El Madania, Algeria
L'Olivier is a restaurant and bar in El Madania, a neighborhood in Algiers, Algeria. It has an indoor dining room with soft lighting, a glass-roofed veranda that lets in daylight, and a bar area separate from the main tables.
L'Olivier started as a small cafe in El Madania before growing into a full restaurant and bar over the years. The place has kept its focus on straightforward hospitality throughout that transition.
The name L'Olivier means "the olive tree" in French, hinting at the Mediterranean focus of the kitchen. The dining room is divided into two areas: one enclosed space with comfortable seating and another covered by a glass ceiling that fills the room with daylight.
Booking ahead is a good idea, especially on weekends when the place fills up quickly. El Madania is easy to reach by taxi, though walking from nearby areas is also possible.
The kitchen serves couscous with sea fish, a pairing that is not easy to find across Algeria. The menu also features dishes from Biskra, including chakhchouka and preparations with snails and mussels inspired by French cooking.
