10/10Our second visit to Chez Olivier. We celebrated my husband’s birthday. We both loved the service, the drinks and the beautifully prepared French cuisine. A special place.

10/10My partner and I had a pre- movie meal here and, as usual it was delightful. We had Prawns and the Escargot for Entrees and both were very tasty indeed. We both had the Salmon and it was cooked beautifully, in a rich sauce which was flavourful. Matched with a glass or two of the Chez Olivier Chardonnay, it was a satisfying meal!

6/10Friendly staff and good food. Really uncomfortable chairs though and did find the courses to be quite rushed. Ie meals came out in quick succession

10/10Perfect French Experience. Food was classic as desired yet modern. Ambience was perfect with tables well spaced and areas divided. The wait staff were perfect in table attendance, attentive but not intrusive. Definately recommend to anyone wanting an intimate perfect dinner occasion.

9/10We thought the food and service were excellent. I felt the restaurant was lacking some of the French ambience usually associated with a French Bistrot

10/10Classic French dishes, a small bistro style place, a style I love, and great people! A solid wine list. A seat at the bar, that I also love. What else do you need?

7.5/10The Duck was outstanding, the Bourguignon was good, but gravy not excellent, more vegetable reduction required. Service was attentive, no issues, the ambience upstairs is very loud, & a bit plain. We left early because of the noise.

9/10Beautiful night out with our adult son. Fantastic food. Good wine by the glass but somewhat pricey????♂️. Our third, and it is not our last visit. Our son noted kitchen staff speaking French! So definitely authentic.

10/10We love this restaurant and enjoy dining there before or after seeing a movie at Palace Como across the road. This was our fourth visit and won't be our last

7.5/10The staff were friendly and helpful. Food was well presented. The complimentary bread was a nice touch considering most restaurants make you pay for it nowadays. Would recommend this place to friends.

8.5/10Everything great except the ambulance of upstairs, great French would really improve the look upstairs not just a heap of mirrors which is no where as good as downstairs

10/10There was absolutely nothing that wasn't perfect from the time we walked in to the time we left. Food and service was impeccable. We left so happy and satisfied. The restaurant was so pretty and welcoming and we would return over and over. Thank you for a wonderful night.

10/10I cannot fault anything and that’s why I keep going back to Chez Olivier. It’s my go to place every year for my birthday. Never fails to impress. The service is fantastic.

10/10Wonderful food, great service. This was the second occasion we had been to Chez Oliver and it now a favourite spot. Was given a special treat when dessert came out - complete with sparkles, as it was birthday time! Hope to return soon!

9.5/10Always an excellent restaurant. Never disappoints. My only negative is that I think the wall colours downstairs are too sombre, effecting the overall ambience.

Whether you feel like a crisp, light lunch in the dining area, or a fully-fledged and committed degustation with the end result of sinking into a large lounge afterwards, you can enjoy the ambience that is Chez Olivier. It is one of the loveliest French restaurants in town. Here you will find traditional dishes such as escargot– snails cooked in garlic – or a beautiful goats' cheese salad. But whilst they use traditional French recipes, they also like to use exclusively Australian ingredients and in a style that is their own interpretation of what it is to be Australian. Here the sophisticated and caring staff urge you to thoroughly read the menu and take your time in ordering. And you will not be disappointed when the food arrives. Pop in for one of their well-loved Duck and Pinot nights on a Wednesday, or even speak with them about having your next work or social event here under the guidance of their function staff. Their wine list is smart, their staff even smarter and the food is of the very highest quality.
