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 :)
