10. Friends On the Hill

A bit of a find is the Friends on the Hill. In and outdoor dining. The waiters were friendly and quick to serve you. Inside on this cold June day the premises were warm and like the establishment name indicates, 'friendly'. There were few tables vacant and everyone appeared to be enjoying the fare. We ate outside in the cool winter sunlight as we had our dog with us, otherwise be inside. I've read the other reviews and a bit surprised with Akica. She must have got it at an off time as my visit was one where I could not complain although I did not have a meal. Just coffee and snacks including a bowl of good sized chips.I felt the venue on this occasion was probably closer to Very Good than the Average rating. I'd go back again particularly as the people inside who were eating meals appeared to have no issue with what was on their plate. It is not in the same league as Bernardo's which is about 1km away on the Monbulk-Belgrave Road. But then again Bernard's is in my view probably the best restaurant in the hills area for quality of venue, food, service and price.

A group of four, we were informed when we arrived by the rather haughty waiter that âbreakfast is well and truly overâ. Fair enough. We then ordered from the lunch menu. We all ordered soup as the other dishes on the limited menu didnât appeal. A couple on an adjoining table asked if they could order breakfast and were told yes!Whilst the soup was good we all would have spent more if we had ordered from the breakfast menu. I probably wonât return.

Friends had told me of this little winery thats hidden between Monbulk and Macclesfield in the Dandenongs/Yarra Valley. What a surprise to come across it. We headed there for Sunday lunch. The food was absolutely wonderful, fresh, taste and so reasonably priced. What a gem. We had a choice of their own wines with the lunch and they also served fresh herbs from their own garden.

As Iâm reading through some reviews Iâm absolutely shocked to see that anyone in there right mind would rate this place anything more then one star. We ordered two separate dishes and both where below standard. In fact Zero standard. Pizza $25 for a tissue like base which was burned underneath dry topping and just should not be advertised as a pizza. As there was only us who ordered the pizza you would think the guy would keep his eye out so it doesnât burn. Next came lasagna ones again $25 dollars for a peace the size of a childâs palm. They gave me a corner which was super hot on top not much meat and so dry and not fresh that we had to leave the restaurant and not eat. The service is friendly but the food was absolutely disgusting.

We frequently visit here for a drink and their awesome fries but recently ate here with friends for a Christmas catch up.Such a friendly place and staff are always helpful. The decor is quite plain but the atmosphere makes up for it. The beer garden is great on hot nights too.Frequently have live music which is great.

Came across this place looking for somewhere to brunch .. originally we set sail for sassafras but drove 3 minutes uphill to Olinda ..The little village is sooooo cute .. donât miss out but a visit to this cafe is imperative .. Service was a bit rushed with the staff trying to please too many at once however the Chef was cool and calm when we presented him with food issues for four! Great job! Tasty food and good prices in a gorgeous mountain setting ! Wonderful end to a great Melbourne visit !Oh, and donât forget to try the potato pancakes and great chicken salad ! Tasty as ...

Today we had lunch there for a 50th wedding anniversary. The meals were excellent. So reasonably priced but quality has not been compromised. The vegetables were fresh and not overcooked. The Salmon dish I can really recommend.Friendly service and highly recomend. An old fashioned feeling to the cottage which we enjoyed.

My husband and I booked lunch here as a bit of a âdate dayâ, and were incredibly impressed! Firstly we lucked into snow in Olinda - which made the inviting flickering torches outside and warm open fire inside even more appreciated. From the moment we stroked inside, the service was faultless. Warm, friendly and professional at all times. And our meals - just divine! I opted for the parsnip soup for entree - beautiful and velvety and warming, perfect on a cold winters day! Mains we had the fish of the day (salmon) and the duck breast. Both cooked to perfection and oh so tasty! The menu is also heaven for a gluten intolerant diner like me. It was our first time...but we will be repeat customers for sure!

We lunched there today - the first day of a new autumn/ winter menu. A great choice of dishes - presented particularly well for sharing - all excellently prepared and presented. The service was equal to anything weâd expect from a top restaurant. A good choice of wines.Outstanding views over the gardens and the Dandenongs from the dining room. This place combines a taste of the Dandenongs of old with excellent food and service. We will definitely be back.

Popped in after the movies at Cameo for a late lunch. We were very impressed with both the service by a welcoming staff and good quality reasonably priced food. Had a side order of chips and they were as good as you can get. Coffee had good flavour and served at the right temperature. RecommendTHANK you very much for your feedback hope we see you again very soon .
