Best French Restaurants in Kew

This was an exceptional experience. Everything had been thought out to the minute detail. We have been to many 3* Michelin restaurants in Europe and this restaurant equates to the best. The food was wonderful , the service second to none. The culinary theatre was spectacular. You felt the team worked like a well oiled machine. Everyone pitched in, down to the sommelier also waiting on table. You felt that this was a culinary family who were keen to ensure that every diner had the very best experience. This meal was a celebration of our 50 th wedding anniversary and the team were keen to acknowledge this. There were so many nice touches that there were too many to mention individually. The wine parings were super and the sommelier was helpful, well informed and above all enthusiastic about the wines he had on his list. This is a real gem one that Melbourne and Australia should be really proud of. We can not recommend it more highly.

As has been stated previously, we have dined at Chez Olivier many times. We have always enjoyed excellent service from the friendly and courteous staff, high quality food and good value for money. It is our favourite restaurant in South Yarra.

the menu for food and drinks lacked enough options. I would not say it was an outstanding experience in the sense that there wasn’t anything that was ordered that I can rave about however the service and atmosphere was nice and I’d probably come back again if I was looking for a casual week day spot.

The steak specials were magnificent however we found the the kingfish was overly sour and steak tartare had vinegar overpower it completely which was a bit disappointing. Overall, I would come again for the steaks.

Wonderful authentic French provincial cooking. Our table of four reported every dish a masterpiece. Well done.
