"Super cute wine bar just outside the city for something different! Who doesn’t like to chillax with multiple glasses of wine over board games! The place also has a ton of books on offer. Great concept! A very European small shop feel. Lots of interesting wine selection at very reasonable prices. The chicken pâté was just amazing!!! Super nice owners and very attentive friendly service! Definitely would come back for seconds!"

"Really nice smoked and juicy meats. Seating is only outdoors so check the weather. When I went it was windy and raining. Not a great way to enjoy some good food. I just have to go back now. Customer service was top ... The lady there know how to look after customers. Parking: Industrial area so parking during the week can be hard with lots of trucks all around. Service: Dine in"

"Walking into Olive Lane, I felt like all my Christmases had come at once. This gorgeous cafe and bakery is a sweet lover's idea of heaven. With a mix of traditional Greek flavours and French pastry techniques, Olive Lane has a loyal following with local residents returning time and time again.<br/ <br/ The cafe itself is lovely, with a large space and high ceilings. Beautiful light fixtures, lovely furniture and greenery make it a welcoming space. To the rear is a narrow light filled corridor that is perfect when the weather is good and there is more seating further to the rear. It was almost a full house when we visited and we were soon to see why. The staff were lovely and welcoming, and more than patient with our decision making over the sweets cabinet.<br/ <br/ The display is overflowing with Greek and French pastries. Divine looking baklava, donuts, croissants and danishes are so tempting and that's without looking at the cake cabinet. Rows and rows of perfectly beautiful French inspired treats are amazing to look at. Trust me, choosing a favourite here is like choosing your favourite child... impossible. We finally made a decision and sat down to enjoy fabulous coffee and fresh juice.<br/ <br/ We ordered the French toast, and while we waited we enjoyed some beautiful cakes and a serve of kataifi. The cakes were so beautiful to look at, but equally good to eat. Filled with flavoured mousses, the flavours of pistachio cake and ferrero rocher mousse were heavenly; and the little red cake had a delicious shortbread base, and delicious creamy filling. The kataifi was absolutely heavenly, laden with lashings of honey syrup; the shredded pastry filled with nuts was simply sensational.<br/ <br/ When the French toast arrived, we were blown away with how epic it looked. A beautifully presented dish, with a huge piece of brioche topped with chocolate mousse, icecream, pistachios and loads of fresh fruit including bruleed banana and fresh pasdion fruit. This is easily one of the best French toasts I've ever had, as it wasn't overly sweet and it had so many contrasting textures and flavours that just balanced each other perfectly. Once we saw the size of this dish, we knew that our little cakes were going to have to become takeaways, as I never would have been able to eat that much in one sitting. The staff were extremely accommodating and fully understood our predicament. That French toast is a huge and satisfying dish.<br/ <br/ I absolutely loved my time at Olive Lane, and really wish it was in my local neighbourhood. The residents of Balwyn sre so lucky to have this fabulous cafe and patisserie on their doorstep. Amazing food, a fantastic ambience and absolutely beautiful staff make it a real treat to visit this cafe, and the fact that the place was packed is evidence that the locals know this to be true.<br/ <br/ Thank you for hosting us.<br/"
