A fine neighbourhood restaurant - the Italian dishes are as good as the French. Roast porchetta outstanding. Great service - recognised as soon as we walked in, though it's been a while (we've been away!), friendly, helpful without being intrusive.

We went to Chez Olivier for my husband's birthday, with our son and his girlfriend. We had a fantastic experience. We were warmly welcomed. We had a booth table, which was really lovely. The advise re wine choice was excellent. The service was excellent. In these times of costs of living etc, we have become selective about going out, and this was a real treat.
