While the mention of Olivier Da Costa’s name often conjures up words synonymous with “extra”, the ironically named XXL is a small, humble reminder that he also knows how to keep things elegant.
Not only is this French-Portuguese bistro a wonderful date-Dinner spot, but it also secretly boasts the best executive lunch menu in the whole city — no surprise when you realize that the parliament is next door! While the rest of Olivier’s restaurants are vibrant spaces to see and be seen (pun intended), XXL is a dimly-lit, romantic respite from the electricity of his other businesses.
Whether it’s the escargot, the signature steak, or the best profiteroles in town, this is where Olivier’s talents as a chef really spring to life.
