Chez Olivier

Best Known For

Roasted duck with orange sauce and pumpkin mash.

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 delve into dishes like snails in garlic and herb butter, or Black Angus beef tartare, with traditional sauce and condiments; alongside slow-cooked lamb shank, rosemary jus, ratatouille and crispy smoked potatoes. For a sweet finish, impressive French-inspired desserts demand to be tasted.
