One always wonders why the majority of French Restaurants in any Capital city of Australia seem to charge ridiculous prices simply because they are from Francais ! Not so Chez Olivier; very reasonable prices coupled with great food with fast, polite and efficient service stands this restaurant apart. We are regulars and have have never been disappointed with the quality... More

where do I start, from the warm welcome to the fantastic bread, mouth watering garlic snails, cooked to perfection medium rare rib eye to the best ever creme brulee I've ever tasted!!!! This place is a must for all lovers of food... plus, if you like them on Facebook, you get a mini Eiffel Tower key ring.......

Had a really good dinner at Chez Olivier. Charcuterie plate, Goats cheese salad, Goats Cheese and Pesto Ravioli, Pork Sausage with Lentils, Crème Brûlée, Strawberries. Everything was great. Staff made us feel welcome and service was prompt. If you can't go on a trip to France right now, go for dinner at Chez Olivier instead. It does feel like a... More

Wanting to re-live our recent Paris holiday, we chose Chez Olivier for our anniversary dinner. After booking online they phoned and confirmed our reservation, advising they would “put us on the romantic table with extra touches”. We arrived and were asked where we would like to sit (no special romantic table after all). We selected the back room. The atmosphere... More

I used to frequent Chez Olivier a few years back and loved it then, and on my most recent trip after a year or two, I still love the place. It's a tiny bit dark in the evenings, but the atmosphere is great, the staff are very friendly and eager to assist and the food is still very tasty and... More

We visited Chez Olivier for our anniversary in March 2012, having read good reviews on Google. The service was good. Waiters were french. The wine list was good. We saw nice pictures of food on the website. We ordered seafood bisque, pork belly salad, duck confit and their signature traditional meat dish. We were disappointed with all the meals. The... More

We have visited Chez Olivier in Prahran several times as we live nearby. The atmosphere in this smallish restaurant is cozy and the service is friendly. The menu in not extensive but includes many classical French dishes. Everything we have tried has been enjoyable. Portion sizes are generous but you need to order sides if you want more than a...

Last year 18 of us stayed for a week in Provence so we wanted to "relive" the experience. We chose to go to Chez Olivier for lunch. We were going for the special 2 or 3 course set menu and enjoyed parts of it ut ventured off that set menu, especially in the desserts. I had to have my favourite,... More
