The Olympian Society - Food VIC

Jillian Price An absolute Thornbury institution! The food is always amazing, the seasonal menu is always on point. Coffee? Flawless. Staff? Legends. Great vibes, friendly staff, and consistently delicious food. Photos are of seasonal dishes I’ve had throughout this year.

Soph S We celebrated our 25th anniversary here and came out with full and satisfied bellies. Food was worth every penny and there wasn’t anything that we didn’t like. Cocktails are a must here as they have some of the best concoctions and if you love prawns, I highly recommend their “prawn fatteh” dish; fresh, juicy succulent prawns; with flavours that I can’t even describe, but I could happily eat that for the rest of my life. The place has a very chilled & relaxed atmosphere and all their staff were very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back to explore their other food options and most likely order another round of “prawn fatteh”.

Derwin Or DOG FRIENDLY Nice and comfortable backyard style little Mexican cafe/restaurant. I got the pulled pork burrito with a Mexican mango soda. Burrito had a nice kick of spice and flavour. Neatly wrapped and bonus points for not dripping oil. Oni (dog) thoroughly enjoyed the attention received from the staff who came to say hi and brought him a water bowl. They were happy to have him despite being wet after a morning paddle.

Michael Trembath The chicken parmy is very good sized meal with fresh chicken thats very filling. Nice salad with dressing and crunchy chips. Good value on Thursday when they are $15 with a variety of toppings available. Highly recommend for good pub meal thats like home cooked especially for those like me who travel for work often. Friendly and helpful staff who treat you with proper customer service. Will happily return each melbourne trip.

David Lin Excellent bar and kitchen, with a lay back atmosphere relatively quiet when we went there around 5pm. The place to heat up the later into the night. We had some food there, pork ribs and Chicken Parma. Served with excellent salads and Diced Potatoes and Chips respectively. They both were cooked really well, and washed down fine with the house beer.

Amilliah I visited Le Café Flo in Thornbury for lunch and loved the Parisian atmosphere, the menus made out of old record covers. It feels like a little corner of France right on High Street. I had a crepe with lemon and sugar. While it was only one flat piece, it was still pleasant, delicate, buttery, and with just enough lemon tang. Not over fancy, but done well, and it hit the spot for something light and sweet. Service was warm and attentive. I was seated indoors, but there’s both indoor and outdoor seating, which gives the place a nice flexibility whether the weather’s good or not. Le Café Flo feels like a cozy spot to linger, good for casual meetups or treating yourself. I’ll definitely come back to try more from their menu (maybe a galette or a more filled crepe next time), because the food, ambiance, and experience are lovely.

Dani Varley Food was made with love, and service so warm and friendly. We really enjoyed the food here! Came all the way from St Kilda and it didn’t disappoint. Thank you for the kind service and making my little girl smile. We will return

Kayla Look the burgers are good! So yummy and being able to customise the bun from either normal to brioche is a nice touch. The Nutella Milkshake is also delicious! I would say the actual shop lets the experience down as the store is outdated, a bit dirty and the floor was SO slippery. It wasn’t wet but what ever they cleaned the floors with genuinely makes it a safety hazard. I’m surprised no one has actually fallen yet. I would recommend buying the food and taking it away to eat!

Eric Fenessy Our favourite local bar to grab a casual mid-week bite with friends. Great selection of food & drinks with $5 tacos on Tuesdays. Good selection of hot sauces (very important) with a bunch of them made in-house. Staff are really lovely and welcoming who made our evenings recently when celebrating a couple of birthdays. They have a free play NBA Jam machine, darts and a bunch of other games upstairs.

Gopu Venkitaramanan Im very slow to try new things but glad I finally decided to try this place out after moving into the area a few months back. Service is great and the pizza is equally as good. If you are like me and on the edge of deciding to try the place I highly recommend trying their pizzas out. Im def gonna be going back for more!
