66 Bistro

Description:

• The head chef at 66 Bistro, Thomas Troisgros, recently picked up the title of best newcomer on the city's dining scene. Given his culinary heritage, the 25-year-old's success is hardly surprising. Thomas is the son of Claude Troisgros, Rio's most celebrated chef and the man behind the helm of uber-chic French restaurant Olympe. But while a visit to Olympe is beyond the price range of many visitors, 66 Bistro offers classic, sophisticated French dishes at prices that won't have you weeping into your bank statement.

The classic Duck A L'Orange is prepared to perfection here, and roast chicken with Dijon mustard is another popular choice. The bistro-style restaurant sits in the leafy, upper-class Jardim Botanico neighborhood, and 66 Bistro is a great spot for lunch or dinner after a visit to the famous botanical gardens.
