Dining with flair at L'Olivier


Today my mom and I enjoyed lunch at L'Olivier Restaurant and Cabaret in historic Centro Ybor. We had never been there before but left very impressed.
Supposedly at night they have extravagant Can-Can and Moulin Rouge shows, but the lunch crowd enjoyed an almost-empty and very quiet atmosphere.
The menu had a nice French flair (aka- I didn't know what most of the words meant!).

I ordered the La Ratatouille crepe. It was a delicate savory crepe stuffed with "mixed vegtables slowly cooked in olive oil." The description might sounds basic but I promise the taste was extravagant. The crepe was lined in swiss cheese and the vegetables oh so flavorful.
Of course warm french bread and a garlic-olive oil dip complement the meal perfectly.
If you're ever in the Ybor part of Tampa, I definitely recommend a stop at L'Olivier Restaurant and Cabaret! I can't wait to go back to check out the live Moulin Rouge show :)
