The entrees (VELOUTÉ DE CHAMPIGNONS and BISQUE DE HOMARD) were very salty. My main (steak) was chargrilled so occasionally the bites were quite bitter. The dessert (TARTE TATIN) was very sweet. We were happy with the other main (TARTE TATIN DE BETTERAVES). The red wine came with the steak was ok too.
First time was a total hit: un vrai parfum de France. Delicious food, wine. Magret was cooked to perfection. Trio du chef for dessert was quite a treat !! Second visit though was a bit disapointing. Overall, the experience at our table was good. We were four French guests celebrating a special occasion. Entrées were very enjoyable: the Soupe à l’Oignon, Gambas au Pernod, and Moules were all well executed. Desserts were a unanimous highlight—the Trio du Chef was outstanding and truly delicious. Mains were more mixed. Two guests ordered the fish of the day (Barramundi) and were very happy with it. The other two chose duck. Unfortunately, the Canard à l’Orange was overcooked, and the in-house duck confit was disappointing—dry and not quite the confit we are used to. Overall, most guests were happy, but the duck dishes let the meal down slightly. Service, however, was excellent throughout.
This is perfect for a date night. The French cuisine is excellent and the service is friendly and attentive. The food is delicious, especially the escargot, duck confit and steak.
30 November 2025 We had a delightful dinner at Chez Olivier. The restaurant was unexpectedly busy for a Sunday evening, but we still received attentive, friendly service and the food was of the highest quality. We came without a reservation and took seats at the bar, which we really enjoyed. We had the beetroot salad, salmon, and beef pie—everything was divine. They also have a great selection of French wines. We would happily return. Thank you!
I had a deal which included a glass of wine, the duck in orange sauce & 2 mini desserts (choc mousse & creme brûlée). The duck was a big portion, thigh cooked to perfection but breast slightly overdone. The sauce was tasty but a bit too sweet for my liking. Desserts and wine were great. Service was okay - though I was sat at the bar and it was busy. Overall, good food, great deal when it’s on too.
