The restaurant is named after Livy, the daughter of the two owners, and is a French twist on the name Olivia.
The venue is a beautifully restored house and the décor is French-inspired. It's a delightful space, utterly tasteful and welcoming. It's designed for an older crowd; think of 40 as being the new 30. On weekends, it has plans to be a party spot with DJ sets and a state-of-the-art sound system. If you are not a fan of noise, this is not your place.
Co-owner Brad Cilliers says they saw a gap in the market "for the over-40 crowd who still want to dress up and hit the town somewhere with a fabulous atmosphere, just not at 11pm [when clubs open]".
In the kitchen is Chef Tyron Gentry, who comes with quite a pedigree, having worked at JAN in Nice, in the south of France, and under renowned Chef Luke Dale Roberts. The menu has a wide range of options from small plates to fancy dishes. We loved the prego roll and the fillet steak sandwich, both served with perfectly crisp skinny fries. Pricey options when compared to the average – but definitely not average. These are excellent.
