What a great little treasure this place is. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea and early theatre dinner is fantastic to eat here. Very clean but you would also be stepping back into time along with class where the Art Deco feel and the piano played by a staff member and the staff are always welcoming. I'll definitely be attending again and again when I'm in Bolton. The menu choice is great and reasonably priced and it's not only fish and chips! I've been twice so far - ty for the lovely experience

So we'd read a dozen tripadvisor reviews on this place and it was virtually next to the Octagon Theatre where we'd seen a show so went. So where do I start? Service I suppose.
Service: The Greek matriarch took my order. She was attentive, got the order completely right and made me feel welcome. (You order and pay at the counter and it's table service from there on). The door was opened for us on arrival and as we left. I normally balk at the obsequious toady and completely fake "have a nice day" culture, but this was sincere. The staff couldn't have been more attentive and authentic. I wanted to take them all home.
Food: They do some HUGE pieces of fish (like back when I was a lad). Fish and chips is their staple, but there's also an array of Greek cuisine including my all time favourite Moussaka - yum.
Bonus: Their pianist on duty yesterday (11 Feb 2017) played loads of standards that I love so much. I would have happily paid twice what I paid for my grub alone just to hear this guy with an empty stomach. I'd heard the place described as "posh fish and chips" but this wasn't posh - it was magical. My first trip to Bolton and if this is the only thing worth seeing in the town, it's enough to make me want to return.

I am not a food snob; and very rarely, if at all, criticise anything that's put before me.
You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Staff at the Olympus are well aware of this and are always courteous and tentative from arrival through to departure.
This is very good, honest, reasonably priced chips n fish; in very clean and pleasant surroundings.
I've been there on several occasions and never been disappointed; only the 'hard to please' would think differently.
Thankyou

Spacious place with friendly staff. Food was very good and service was quick. Pianist playing which is something different! And the teapots didn't dribble!

Great service defy you to try to get your coat off before the waiver comes to help. Old fashioned manners but thoroughly modern premises our grandchildren love it. Takes going out for fish & chips to a whole new level.

Ate here 7/2/17 with my husband and our toddler, along with my two sisters, for lunch.
The food - The food was fine. My fish and chips were delicious and very filling. The portion since was plentiful. I was going to have a pudding afterwards but chose not to in the end as I wouldn't have been able to fit it in! That's not a complaint as the food I had was well cooked and tasted great, it was just filling. My husband had sausage and chips and he said it was good too. My two sisters did complain that their fish was a bit soggy but I didn't have that problem with mine at all.
Price - very happy with how much we paid. Cod, chips and peas (which I and my two sisters ate) was £7.70 each which was more than reasonable considering the size of the meal. My son had a small portion of chips for £2.80 and my husband's jumbo sausage and chips was only a couple of pounds more than that.
Service - We were seated straight away and the waiter made sure our large party was sat together by movingly tables around, he also made sure we had a highchair which was nice. The food did take a while to come out which we wouldn't have minded about if they'd given us our drinks at an earlier time. We only ordered soft drinks so to have them come out just before the food when we'd already been waiting a long time was a little annoying. Still staff were always smiling and polite.
Restaurant - the decor was simple and unfussy. Restaurant was very clean as were the toilets. I liked the addition of the piano and we got to listen to some live music which was nice.
Overall this is a place I would definitely visit again. Simple food done very well. Recommended.

Never visited Bolton until last Thursday. Got off the train hungry and spotted the
" Majestic Olympus " ( well you can hardly miss it, its enormous) Decided to have Lunch and was greeted at the door like an old friend, shown to a table for one, and handed a menu.This is a singular Fish and Chip Restaurant - modern decor - spotless - carpeted - airy - no fish and chip smell and I'm not codding ( get it ) at its centre a piano !!!. Ordered the Cod meal consisting of Fish Chips Mushy peas ( served in ramekin dishes - nice touch - bread and butter - pot of tea - Service was very fast and the meal superb. Staff very friendly and attentive ( even saw one of the Waiting Staff helping a lady to put on her coat, - very impressive ! ) Upon leaving the door was opened for me and I was thanked for my custom. Made a point of telling the Guy on the door how much the food and service were appreciated.To sum up - best Fish and Chip restaurant I have ever visited. will be back with her indoors. well worth the trip for Food of the Gods.Well done Olympus - χίλια ευχαριστώ
