What a great meal and the service was fantastic. I couldn't decide between the beef or lamb ribs, so they made me a combo of the two. The ribs were perfectly cooked - tasty and tender, and it came with a nice green salad. My wife's boneless chicken was also a memorable dish. The portion size was generous and the price reasonable. The meal came out relatively quickly which was nice as we were going to the theater. The service was attentive but not overbearing. I had an enjoyable chat to Eddie the owner and the rest of the team were also very friendly. I highly recommend having a meal here.

One of my favourite places in the city for a delicious lunch of grilled barramundi with chips and mango salad. Located in Manchester Lane just off Collins Street it is place to enjoy a meal with excellent service. Try the tea cooler made with ruby grapefruit, green tea, honey and mint. Very refreshing. Have been here a number of times for lunch and it has never disappointed Prices are reasonable and nothing is too much trouble for Eddy and Betty I will be back again and again.

Place was not the noisy side it's in a small lane. Staff was friendly and professional, they look after you well. The food was splendid! The grilled barramundi fillet was nicely done, crispy skin but still soft and juicy inside.

Compared to others I tried their meat is not dry and I love it. It felt so mouthwatering and the sauce that they used to grill or bbq the meat made it highlight the savour was and so satisfying.They also have amazing customer service as they would refill your water every often and when you receive your food they would ask how it was. It's an amazing way of also building rapport to the customer and the staff are so hospitable.I really recommend this place! ❤️❤️❤️

Delightful food and very tasty! Great sizes, great value and delicately handled ingredients. Such a terrific location too - gorgeous atmosphere, quiet, cozy and inviting, right in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Flinders Lane and Degraves St. We loved talking with the owner and cook personally as well. It was like having dinner in his own home. We’ll be back.

😱Lizzies first impression: Conveniently situated right off Flinders Lane near Degraves. The place feels like Melbourne with its mix of asian yet european dishes - its a no brainer that they have called it Ginger Olive. Ginger represents asian and Olive represents European. Decor is neat, dim but welcoming at the same time. Staff are amazing here - it is run by a really sweet family and you can tell how close they are through their interacactions with each other.🍩Lizzie enjoyed: I had a chance to try a few of their dishes and they were all so flavourful.First was the Honey soy BBQ Pork steam buns - these buns are becoming such a trend and it tasted impeccable. Baos were not too soft and the bbq pork was cooked well and very flavoursome -the kewpie sweet chilli hollandaise sauce just completed the flavours.I also had the slow cooked beef ribs - these ribs are slow cooked in a heap of herbs and spices so it tastes delicious and mouth watering. It also came with fries so WHAT A PLUS!Now on to my favourite dish of the day - the Seafood Linguine. Pasta cooked al dente and the best flavours from the fresh seafood, garlic and fresh herbs. A generous serving of prawns and muscles along with other seafood too. The flavours were great and I will remember this restaurant for their perfect pasta. Amazing.Sweet potato fries - fried crispy and has a heap of flavour from the rosemary on top.Tequila Sunrise - Why not have a drink for breakfast/lunch? Perfect way to start my day in my opinion. They do a whole range of drinks and even stocks Roasting Warehouse coffee for those coffee snobs out there.🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: N/A🥇Lizzie rates overall: If you know me, Im all about the service (as well as the food), so seeing this kind of service just speaks volume about their attitude towards this restaurant and of the love for their food and people. Im so impressed by the food and I will definitely be back again to try the rest of the dishes.

Attentive staff, Beautiful set up, food was very well priced and tasted sensational. Definitely pop back with the missus as we hadn't had a chance to try all the menu.

Fantastic place for intimate events. The food is delicious, the staff are super attentive, and please find any excuse to have a cake made by their team (delicious works of art!). The team organised the decor for our event from scratch - and it was magical!

Had a great early dinner at this new restaurant before the football on Saturday night. A varied and interesting menu at very reasonable prices and most importantly everything was delicious. Warm and attentive service from the staff. We hope to return during a future trip to Melbourne.

The Crispy Chicken Burger jumped out at me on the menu and it did not disappoint. My girlfriend had the Chicken and Pancetta Linguine which she refused to share haha! Another member of our party had the Beef Ribs and this was devoured in no time at all. The coffee was of high quality and as I work around the corner it could become my regular. Staff were friendly and made it a great lunch time experience. Will see you guys at Ginger Olive again for a date night sooner rather than later!😁

Lunch at Ginger Olive today is definitely going to be the first of many visits. The Chicken Mushroom and Pancetta Linguine was delicious with a satisfying serving size. My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed the Crispy Fried Chicken Burger but suffered from FOMO when the table next us had the beef ribs come out. So we’ll be back for that I am sure. The aptly named happy ending of the meal was the Mango Crepe, left you wanting another serving. Service was great, friendly knowledgeable and all the food came out in a timely manner. Family friendly atmosphere and central location means you can stop by whilst shopping in the city. Highly recommended!😀😀

I had the Seafood Linguine which was delicious and my husband had the pork ribs that he would highly recommend! 😋 The atmosphere was cosy and the service was friendly. The menu has a range of options and is very reasonably priced for the quality of cuisine. Would definitely be back and would recommend this restaurant to friends and family. 👍🏻😊
