Olympe is an amazing restaurant. It is however rather expensive. Our meal for 2 came out to about $380-$390 USD. Only one wine course was served. We both enjoyed the five course tasting menu. SERVICE – Service was impeccable. There was English speaking staff; however they were far from fluent. This is fine as it should not be expected. The... More

We decided to try Olympe with 2 friends after reading several reviews. First impression was good. Small restaurant with good ambience but you have to book in advance and no staff speaks English. We all had 5 course taster menu and agreed It was excellent. Olympe is expensive but delivers good quality food, good service and atmosphere. Save up and... More

Ambience is beyond compare. The decor is super tasteful and the noise level appropriate. The restaurant is in constant motion which is nevertheless barely noticeable. The staff is totally professional and attentive but never overbearing. The kitchen is visible from the dining room which only adds to the allure. The food is french inspired and unique in presentation. Absolutely perfect... More

It's a very good french restaurant, with a famous chef (Claude Troigross). We went there for lunch, when the price is lower. Everything was very good and we had a good time.

Olympe is the best restaurant I've ever been to. The atmosphere is really nice, the place is not big so revervation is a must! The waiter was very thoughtful and helped suggesting the menu. I went there with my husband and we asked for the menu Confiance which was amazing! I have food restrictions so a few dishes were different... More

The first time I met Claude was in Itaipava, in 2004, when he himself cooked (or least supervised) dinner at the once luxurious "Capim Limão". There were more guests than the hotel and its staff could serve and my husband (at that time) couldn't get his desert delivered to our table. Some other guest had 2 of them and it... More

I am a big fan of Troisgrois cuisine. It's always perfect. This time I had the "Bacalhau Imperial" for starter (superb!) and "Codorna Recheada" for main course, I really love it! Service was excellent, atmosphere is very nice and desserts perfect as well. You should try the "Crepe Passion"!

I had very high expectations for my visit at Olympe and I confess I was a little disapointed. The food is very good, Claude Trosgois is certainly one to be respected greatly for all he has done for development of gastronomy in Brazil, however, we were not wowed as we expected to be, the food was very good, but nothing...

Marvelous. Cant say enough of this place. The food was perfect, service excellent, atmosphere impeccable. We had the "menu confiança" in which you have to trust the Chef and he will surprise you. 4 dishes + desert. Fabulous. Will be here again soon.
