Citrine Bistro & Bar, Olinda

Citrine Bistro & Bar is a small modern-Australian bistro on the Mount Dandenong Tourist Road in Olinda village, candlelit and seasonal, with a sunny front courtyard. Dogs are welcome in that courtyard, so it works for a long lunch or a drink after a walk in the hills.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor front courtyard, casual seating that catches the afternoon sun. Bring your own water bowl. This is an intimate venue, so call ahead to secure a courtyard spot, particularly on busy weekends.

Good to know. The menu is seasonal and changes regularly around local produce, with a strong wine and cocktail list. Expect fireside seating inside in winter and the courtyard in warmer months.

Getting there and parking. At 1419 Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, Olinda. Street parking runs along the tourist road, with public parking within walking distance in the village.

Nearby with the dogs. The Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden and Olinda Falls are close for leashed walks, and the village strip is walkable with other dog-friendly outdoor tables nearby.
