Olo was awarded it´s first star in the Michelin guide 2011 and I´m probably not the only one wondering why it took "Guide Rouge" this long.
My first visit to Olo was about 4 years ago and I have wanted to revisit ever since. But because there were so many other restaurants to try in town the wait has been this long. The chance to go back came when I gave two of my cousins gift certificates to Olo for Christmas and they were nice enough to ask me to join them.
A BIG thank you to all the participants and a special thank you to the 9 year old that joined us for the second time for fine dining and who behaved so well for the entire 5 hours. Even though she probably wasn´t too happy about the strict table manner rules!

Hey, again!
ReplyDeleteIn that last picture of the petit fours is that a plate or a napkin they are on?
Brilliant post! Only slightly dissapointed of the food presentation. Looks like everywhere else e.g. Sundmans, Savoy.. is everyone just copying everyone else?
Hi! The petit fours are placed by myself on my napkin. They were offered from a tray to be picked by hand.
ReplyDeleteThe presentation of the main courses are slightly dissapointing but still not bad. I personally really like the design of the vegetable and truffle starter. These menus come and go so the presentation of the next menu might be just amazing.
