Wild Oak Cafe

Great cafe, good coffee and tasty food - cute little outdoor patio outback where you can bring your dog and its also weather proof, so even though it was a rainy day we were able to curl up in a blanket and listen to the rain while enjoying our lunch

Romantic, low lit atmosphere, not busy or loud at all. attentive staff with good recommendations. Food was simply divine, great sizes, amazing flavours. hats off to the chef.

Lovely place for fine dining. Great ambience, friendly staff and delicious food. Highly recommend the lemon Bombe Alaska

Nice western cafe with an outstanding customer service. The staff were very approchable and lovely, made the whole experience much better. Love the food.

nice little place in the dandenongs for a light lunch and coffee staff polite prices are fare food always fresh and full of flavor

I do love this place! The staff are really nice and it is a little quaint place to come to. The food is really nice and is a good place to slowly have a lunch. The staff were so nice and really accomodated to my requests

The lighting in here is really good I have to say - and there are plenty of seats. The staff and customer service here is friendly too. Try this place for lunch as i did.

I had a lovely lunch here with my mother, and from the moment we walked in the door the service was attentive and genuine.
We were greeted by a lovely man who took care of us the entire time, and managed to give everyone in the restaurant swift service. Truly someone who enjoyed his job.
I explained I had an entertainment card, and he was happy to advise that was fine and got us some menus.
We both had the pork belly, which was great. The only negative was that it probably would have gone better on a bed of mash and greens than the curried beans. It was still delicious though, and the pork belly melted in your mouth.
Would recommend this place. It would be even nicer at night. Seemed quite romantic.

Our work (Rowbust) had Christmas lunch here - and left very satisfied !

Its not one of those rush in & out places, so pacing the meal was a bit of a treat.

I went with the 3-course special and am pleased that I did. Course 1 was a variation on a Greek salad, course 2 a risotto, and for dessert, a creamy pavlova & berries arrangement which was great ! Serving sizes were excellent and meant that each dish could be enjoyed. Others on our table had creative-looking dishes and were also similarly impressed.

The physical appearance inside is a bit odd in that it looks a bit like a portable classroom that had been turned into a restaurant, but was appropriately cozy/spacious. Staff were knowledgeable, attentive and pleasant which is the service trifecta for mine.

Without drinks, it was approximately $40 a head which I thought was good value.

Given the additional benefit that Olinda is such a pretty place, its worth the drive to have lunch or dinner here.

Approximate cost: $30

My husband and I came here on a Wednesday evening when we were having a night away in Olinda.
OMG the food was AMAZING! We had the duck-liver pate & the chorizo sausages for entree, the chicken breast and the fettuccine for main, and we were so full, we only managed to share a sticky date pudding for dessert. However, I'm quite confident that no matter what we would have ordered it would have been delicious.
The atmosphere was great, with the candles and the ornamental fire, and our waiter was very friendly and attentive.
We'll definitely be going back next time we're in the area.

Approximate cost: $30

It was a Saturday evening and a group of 5 of us went there for my birthday dinner after having a day trip in the area.

We were certainly not disappointed at the quiet, dimly lit, elegant surroundings.

the menu had such delicious gourmet meals and everyone enjoyed it very much ... we even had dessert which was presently beautifully

lovely restaurant and will recommend it to anyone

I recently had lunch at wild oak with my partner as part of a winery/mountain tour with the restaurant's owner. We were amazed at the quality of the food, I had to slow myself down so I could savour it! I had the wild mushroom risotto with truffle oil, and my partner had the barramundi, both as delicious as the other. The service was equally as good, the head chef even came over at one stage to sit with us and answer a question about truffles (he even brought a real one over to show us!). The location along with the reasonable prices for that sort of outstanding quality (they use fresh, local ingredients, some of which I actually picked up along the tour!) makes it pretty clear why they have won so many awards. This is definitely my new favourite restaurant, and we will be back there very soon!

Approximate cost: $30

Lovely atmosphere, friendly but unobtrusive service. Food is SPECTACULER! Most dishes gluten free, but menues marked clearly for allery / light eating options. Very good value for money - even have $25 lunch deal!

Approximate cost: $25

I had dinner recently at the Wild Oak Cafe and it was a great experience. The location was beautiful with a nice garden view. The food was exquisite (i had the Black Angus scotch fillet) and the waiting staff friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend Wild Oak.
