Reviews for Olio Kensington Street
R Souliere
An absolute delight! The food was amazing, the atmosphere beautiful and the service outstanding! We had the 9 course Olio Experience, and what a wonderful gourmet food experience - it was all so delicious. The blue swimmer crab squid ink pasta was divine, as was the wagyu rump. The tiramisu was decadent. And they make a pretty mean martini too!. Service was fantastic, friendly and professional. The whole experience takes 1 hour and 45 minutes and they were right, just the right amount of time. Highly recommend.

Visited on a Saturday night with a group of three and tried the $80 Olio Experience, which included a 9-course menu. There was a great variety of dishes and the portions were very generous, especially for the shared plates, where we received two servings between the three of us. We were all extremely full by the end of the meal. The only downside was that the prawn bisque appeared in quite a few dishes, so the flavour became a little repetitive throughout the experience.

We visited Olio for the 8-course tasting menu and it was a wonderful evening from start to finish. The standout dishes were the toothfish and the wagyu beef — both were cooked to perfection. Each course was beautifully presented and the progression of the menu felt well thought out. The wine selection was impressive, with great options to complement the food. Service was attentive, professional and warm throughout. The ambience was intimate and elegant, great for a date night. Highly recommend the tasting menu. We'll be back!

We had the 9 course tasting menu and it was well worth it considering the food, service and atmosphere. Highlights were the squid ink pasta with crab, and the prawn bisque which was presented in a cloche for a dramatic smoky effect. I also loved the champagne sorbet. Overall, a lovely restaurant to dine in for a special occasion.

We tried the 9-course menu for three people and overall had a wonderful experience. The dishes were beautifully presented and prepared. Everything was delicious, though the wagyu beef was slightly salty for our taste. The service was attentive, portions were very generous — more than enough for three. We were truly full by the end! We had mentioned we were celebrating a birthday and requested a small birthday touch, but unfortunately this didn’t happen, which was a little disappointing. Overall, we still enjoyed the experience and appreciated the quality of the food and service.
