Warm, homely vibe right when you walk in with the inbuilt fireplace. A great spot for lunch in Macedon. Friendly service and good menu selection. I had the kingfish which was cooked perfectly, only minor feedback was the vegetables needed more seasoning. My partner had a chicken and said it had a lot of flavour and was juicy, the sweet potato chips were crispy and had a good sprinkle of salt.?
Really enjoyed this place, lovey Sunday chilled arvo atmosphere. The staff were great no rushing and the food was delicious. Really enjoyed the home made gnocchi and the cigars 😋 look forward to visiting again.
Dined here on a Sunday night... the food was delicious and wait staff were very friendly and attentive. We ordered 4 small plates to share between the two of us and it was the perfect amount of food. The stand out dish was definitely the Mu Shu Pork Pancakes; flavours were
Perfectly balanced. Would definitely recommend this restaurant 😊
We had one last stop before heading back to Melbourne. Sat in the beautiful courtyard with our 2 dogs. The lady waiter was spot on. We enjoyed our grass fed beef tamahawk cooked to perfection. It didn’t need the mushroom or red wine sauce. Also added 3 sides (rocket salad with grapefruit, parmesan crusted zucchini and baby carrots). All were a perfect balance of sweet, bitter and salty. Thank you for the last hurrah before heading back to work
Both the staff and food are always fantastic here. Macedon is very lucky to have such a talented chef operating in our little town. Great work guys.
We loved our French onion soups and our mains that followed. Great ambiance too, especially with the band playing in front of the restaurant.
Great little place in Macedon. The food and ingredients used really stand out. Has a great atmosphere and especially when there is an event or a musician playing. Would certainly recommend to check out and I'll definitely visit again
The owners must be so proud of their team! Professional, efficient and friendly matches perfectly with interesting, unpretentious and tasty. This is the second time I have eaten here and it hits the high notes for food, service and value$$. We attended a function here last night and I have eaten previously in the restaurant a la carte. This business is humming. A pleasure to find restauranteurs who know what they're doing! Well done.
Olive Jones is a located in the town of Macedon, at the bottom of Mt Macedon. They run a mushroom foraging experience on a weekend (details posted on their Facebook page when it is announced).
The experience starts at 9am and runs til late in the afternoon. The meeting point is at the restaurant where you’ll get a brief overview of some edible mushrooms before driving up to the forests to start foraging.Â

I love it. Fantastic food on a contemporary menu.
The courtyard adds to an already good experience if you get it on a warm day.
you will love Olive Jones too.
Visited Olive Jones for the first time recently.
My companion ordered the Linguine pasta and was rewarded with a generous serve. The dish was light and made with very fresh ingredients.
I had the pork barbecue pizza which for a large ($18) was very good value. The toppings were plentiful, and the pork flavoursome. We had lattes and complimentary chocolate cigars following the mains, and the coffee was very impressive!Â
Overall, the atmosphere of the restaurant was great with other families eating in. Was thoroughly pleased with the decision to try a cute restaurant hidden away within a wonderful town.Â
The service was fantastic on the night. 3.5/5
The friendly waitress managed to squeeze us in for a table despite them being full with a function. The restaurant seems to have a Turkish theme, but there is a good amount of variety on the menu if you're not into that.Â
I ordered the porterhouse steak which was cooked perfectly. The blood sausage garnishing was an excellent touch. My girlfriend ordered the Chicken Chausseur, which also looked pretty tasty.
The staff were really helpful and the atmosphere was warm and cosy, which was perfect for a wintery Sunday.
Would recommend.
Great food service, staff excellent and an excellent choice of wines with a Dixieland band playing outside made for a great impromptu spot to spend a Sunday afternoon recently. I'll be back
Happy Customer. Booked a table with friends for Sunday early evening dinner, ordered a glass of squealing pig sauvignon blanc with herb and garlic cheese foccacia followed by the Lamb Shanks which were to die for with compliments to the chef. The staff were friendly and the restaurant had a warm and inviting ambience. Can't wait to try the out outdoor area along with fire and outdoor woodfire pizza oven...will definately be back :)
Absolutely delicious dinner! We went for our wedding anniversary with our 3 boys and we all enjoyed our meals so much. The kids loved the spring rolls and pizza and enjoyed looking around the beautiful outdoor area. My husband said the steak was the best he's had in a long time and my grilled chicken was cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back!
Great service, awesome food! 1kg rib eye 🤩
Loved this place. The service was top notch with super friendly staff, the food was amazing (had the pulled pork and beef short ribs starters then lamb shank for mains). Loved all of it - then to top it off the live duo singing jazz/blues music were fantastic, loved her voice (and wasn't up too loud). Would definitely return, 100% and would gladly recommend. If only I could afford some of the nice artwork that was on display! :)
Stopped here for a snack after a day hiking around the mount. Coffee was surprisingly good, and the hot chips were truly excellent. Also had a dessert which was very good. Nice cosy little space with a lovely outside area. Service was friendly and efficient, though it wasn't especially busy. Will definitely return.
Great place. Beautiful Courtyard with a fireplace and pizza oven. Service is a little slow, but that’s fine because it’s a great spot to sit and relax.
The pizza I had was one of the best ever.
Wife says her fish was perfectly cooked.
Lovely 'country cottage' style restaurant. Indoor and outdoor eating; courtyard is green , pleasant and largely shaded. Food is good and moderately priced. Wine list, whilst not extensive, is well selected but somewhat expensive. Our Sunday visit included live music . Pleasant and talented keyboard player. Could be intrusive but possible to move further away or even inside. The service was excellent.
Love this place! The atmosphere is incredible – especially the courtyard. Went here for Valentine’s Day this year and had the pizza. Haven’t been for the live music on Sundays yet but it’s on the to-experience list.
Great customer service was provided by the team. We ordered takeaway, 1 of each pizza on the menu, 2 whole chickens, salads, fries, wedges and sweet potatoe fries (which were mouth watering). Thank you for the great service and the delicious food. This place will be on the top of my list if I'm passing by.
