Olinda Tea House & Restaurant

A wonderful way to celebrate Valentine's Day. The venue was beautifully decorated and offered a fantastic selection of Vegan options.

The staff member Fran was helpful and welcoming. Please pass on our thanks to her for making our outings so positive! She went above and beyond.

The dumplings and the vegan spicy chicken were key standouts.

The venue also had a great wine selection.

We were in the area looking for a late lunch, and they graciously accommodated us. The food was excellent and served very quickly, even though it was quite busy. Wait staff were very friendly and for the most part attentive. Soups were very tasty, main dishes exceptional, and desserts superb! My wife loved the unique dishware for each dish, as you can see in the photos.

Stunning views, excellent service, and good food. They also have high tea selection but we opted for lunch menu instead. The lunch menu is ample with classic Asian dish as well as several Asian fusion (such as wasabi prawns). Loved the relaxed atmosphere and staff's attentiveness.

Reservation is definitely recommended as it can get very busy despite the location being quite secluded.

Our friend invited us to celebrate her birthday here and we tried their high tea selections for the first time.
I loved the presentation of everything and I enjoyed most of the dessert and the dishes. Their sandwiches and pork bun were delicious and the mushroom pastry was creamy and rich.
As for the dessert, my personal favourite was the mini pink pig mousse cake.
The services were amazing and all the waiters and waitresses were attentive and friendly.
Definitely recommend it for special occasions!

A comfortable and lovely place. We had the Chinese lunch menu, which was great, we didn't try the fancy high tea. It is a very popular place, even on weekdays because it is the only nice eatery in that area. Indoors is the better option, though outdoors looks romantic. We visited at around 2:30pm, after the peak hours, which is much more relaxing.

Beautiful restaurant in a gorgeous garden setting! Fran who was looking after us was incredibly friendly and warm hearted with us. The portion sizes are generous. We had a few entrees and shared a plate of vegetables, fried rice and the lamb. Everything was just delicious. We’ll be back! Thanks again Fran for the great hospitality ☀

Held a wedding in Olinda Tea House (ceremony + reception) in early November . Lots of our guests ( different ethnicity groups ) have been commenting about how impressed they are by the food . The dessert looked great , almost everyone took pictures of it , and it tasted good too. We ordered wedding cake from Olinda Tea House too, it looked good in pictures and tasted fresh. Also we call out the good service they have. Their event manager did a great help in organising the event, they are good at coordinating to different vendors / people and responding to circumstances, saved lots of trouble for us and reduced our stress on our big day . They also have a fancy bridal room , very spacious and good for pictures . We definitely rate 5 star for Olinda Tea House as a wedding venue and highly recommend it to couples who are planning a wedding

Went to Botanic Garden, then found this tea place for a bit bite. Service was good, quite big portion of set lunch, including one pot of tea. Great place to rest and enjoy food.

We had a wonderful birthday party here for my son.

Food is beautiful and waiters are absolutely friendly and helpful.
Party organiser/manager is a lovely young girl who is thorough and passionate.
Dining environment is definitely a big plus.

All our guest had a wonderful experience here at that night! Highly recommend and will definitely come back!!!

Thanks team, you done a great job!

I highly enjoyed my visit to this establishment. The ambiance, cuisine, and the majority of the beverages were of exceptional quality. The bartenders demonstrated a profound expertise in mixology, evident in the excellently crafted drinks. This venue is a remarkable choice for socializing, unwinding, or even for a romantic outing.

Excellent ambience and great service. The exterior is beautifully landscaped and the place transports you to a quiet getaway. The service was great and prompt. The service staff was attentive throughout. Food was a bit of a let down though. The pork ribs hardly had any meat on them and were more like nibbles. The cumin Lamb though excellently cooked had extra salt. The dessert was the saving grace.

I booked the Gazebo High Tea. We had the perfect cosy space to ourselves. And like any high tea, food in small portions always looks small, but there was plenty, and we filled our tummies.
Service was friendly and we were checked on throughout.
I took my adult daughter for a parent-daughter date and to cheer her up. She loved it.
Was such a lovely treat and will definitely be going back for another visit.

Celebrated my sister’s birthday here last Saturday, our first time to dine here and so glad we chose the right place. Foods were so delicious and beautifully presented. Service was excellent and staff were helpful, especially that girl named ‘Lily’ who helped us chose which food is the best. This restaurant also has a beautiful park, entertained by Alpacas and a Pony. We will surely come back here.

Amazing gem amidst the greenery. Beautiful views, lovely food and friendly staff. Fran's happy smiles added extra warmth.

Outstanding! Not only is Olinda Tea House nestled in beautiful, lush gardens, the service and the food is amazing! Mr Hoover, our waiter, was a delightfully funny and a customer focused server! We were thrilled with his service and the light humour, with his joking around!
We thoroughly enjoyed the fusion high tea experience……beautifully presented and scrumptious! A nice balance of savoury and sweet. They allowed us to take home what we couldn’t consume. Highly recommend coming to Olinda Tea House and we will come again for dinner!

Beautiful restaurant with gorgeous gardens. We visited for the Signature High Tea and it's well worth the money. So much food and lovely atmosphere

I recently had the best experience at this restaurant. All the staff and team was amazing especially waitress KAMAL , provided exceptional and above-and-beyond service during our birthday celebration. The food was not only yummy, but the sleeping bear cupcake and coconut raspberry cake were absolutely delicious. The rose latte and Turkish delight tea added delightful flavors to the experience. The extraordinary gardens and picturesque setting, combined with fresh and appetizing food, created a wonderful atmosphere. The warm hospitality truly made it a memorable celebration. Highly recommend for a fantastic dining experience.

The Gardens instantaneously takes you to Japanese Gardens 🏯🎍🎋🎑 it was a surprise for us ✨

Asian splendour in the Dandenong Ranges.

Had a fantastic lunch at the tea house and I am amazed with the exquisite taste and presentation of the food.

We called from Melbourne to make a booking for a late lunch. The lady who took our call sent us our booking confirmation via text almost immediately. Very tech savy!
On arrival we were greeted by a beautiful garden with a fish pond and flowing water. The restaurant is quite big and very inviting. Jack and Fran greeted us and were always at hand to ensure that we were comfortable.

We ordered steamed Murray Cod, Kung Pao chicken and mixed vegetables. I must say the fish was so fresh and sweet. The chef prepared it to perfection 👌

Fran was so sweet and she made our stay at the restaurant very pleasant indeed. I would highly recommend the Olinda Tea house if you are in this part of the ranges.
I will surely be back. Keep up the great work guys.

Came by to try their new menu and I wasn't disappointed. Fresh ingredients and expert cooking. The food is delicious and the service is superb. Keep up the great work guys.

Food was descent and service was nice, place is really nice and has a cosy feel to it. Had lunch there and tried a few different options. Their signature dishes were really good. We had a family member with certain dietary requirements and the staff offered options that suits their needs. We were really happy with the food.
