In times of old, digestive liquor meant more to someone than a hot soak in the tub. The mere thought of a moment of relaxation accompanied by an old friend in the form of a buttery drop of whiskey, Armagnac or Cognac meant that worries flew out of the window for a few moments of pleasure.  These days, we are more inclined to check the news on our digital devices rather than unwinding as we once did.  To ensure that we continue our old rituals and savour the right way forward in winding down, we can still find this unique pleasure in the right environment.

The bar at L’Olivier restaurant shows us that stocked, just the right way, our collection of timeless digestives can suit any palate and any dessert or meal. We pride ourselves in accompanying your meal to the very end with the right flavours to set you on your way, relaxed, ready to embrace life as it is meant to be.This Christmas, we have home made mince pies and Christmas delights that match perfectly with a lovely brandy or Armagnac. Savouring the late evening with a smooth tipple is what makes digestives that much better.  We specialise in bringing you the best options for your meal, from the beginning, to the end and enjoy watching you, enjoy yourselves, for that is our pleasure.
