Fusion - Olio
Olio’s clean lines and open, inviting seating arrangement advertise a streamlined, relaxed dining experience. This design ethic extends even to the attractive appearance of the menu, whose contents skip nimbly across countries and regions. Upon first glance such a dizzyingly diverse variety of dishes and flavors looks like an invitation to disaster.

It comes as a pleasant surprise then that, for the most part, Olio gets this multiplicity of dishes right. Although a cream of mushroom soup (¥18) could have been creamier, the club sandwich (¥55) and Olio burger (¥69) were as good an example of either as you’re going to find in our fair city. Top that off with a slice of delicious chocolate mousse cake (¥35), and we were primed for our next visit.
