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......66 Bistro offers classic, sophisticated French dishes at prices that won't have you weeping into your bank statement. 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."
