Chez Olivier

A few words from Chez Olivier

It's easy to see why Chez Olivier on Toorak Road in the heart of South Yarra, is one of Melbourne's most loved French restaurants. All elements combine in an authentic ambience of moody down lighting, worn timber floors and intimate table settings, with rows of wine bottles on shelves and a large bar area ideal for an after-work drink. Chez Olivier declares itself as one of Australia's few ‘Frozzie' restaurants, blending French cooking traditions with quality, mostly Aussie ingredients. Expect to see dishes like onion soup with cheesy croutons and flamed garlic and herb prawns with Pernod on the menu; alongside slow cooked lamb shank, rosemary jus, couscous, cinnamon zucchini, caramelised onion and harissa sauce. For a sweet finish, impressive French inspired desserts demand to be tasted.
